  • Music Performance Anxiety Therapies: a Review of the Literature
    MUSIC PERFORMANCE ANXIETY THERAPIES: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE BY CASEY EILEEN MCGRATH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois !!Doctoral Committee: !!!Professor Stephen Taylor, Chair !!!Dr. Karin Hendricks, Ball State University, Director of Research !!!Professor Stefan Milenkovich !!!Professor Gabriel Solis ABSTRACT !Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is a widespread epidemic in the world of instrumental and vocal performance. While traditional music education provides a solid training in terms of technical and interpretive execution, attention is rarely given to managing the very symptoms that may challenge one’s ability to perform at an optimum level. As both collegiate study in music performance and the process of acquiring employment as a performer often require the presentation of skill in an evaluative setting, it is imperative that more light be shed on the management of Music Performance Anxiety. Equipping the next generation of musicians with the skills to handle fear, adrenaline, tension, and other threats to their concentration in demanding situations may not only improve the quality of the performing arts henceforward, but also their success and satisfaction onstage. !This dissertation highlights findings from an extensive review of the current literature and research on the methods by which Music Performance Anxiety has been and is currently being treated

  • Exposure and Experiential Therapies for Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
    page 1 Contrasting Exposure And Experiential Therapies For Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Kari Gleiser, Julian Ford, Diana Fosha Psychotherapy: Training, Research, Theory, Practice, 2008, 45 (3), 340-360. Experiential & exposure therapy page 2 Abstract In this paper, we compare and contrast two psychotherapy paradigms for the treatment of complex posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD): a behavioral therapy (prolonged exposure; PE) and an experiential therapy (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy; AEDP). PE has received strong research support as an effective treatment for PTSD. The scientific evidence for experiential therapy is sparser, but also positive. In addition, clinical and research evidence suggest that (1) experiential processes are inherently embedded in PE, and may influence PE outcomes; and that (2) AEDP addresses several clinical and relational factors that are negative prognostic factors for PE (e.g., affect dysregulation, disorganized attachment, sense of alienation and mental defeat, dissociation, and disorders of the self). Suggestions are provided for further empirical exploration of the process and efficacy of AEDP and experientially-informed PE for complex cases of PTSD. Experiential & exposure therapy page 3 From Freud's notion of abreaction (Breuer & Freud, 1893/1956) to modern behavioral (Barlow, 1993; Foa & Kozak, 1986) and experiential (Greenberg, Watson, & Lietaer, 1998) psychotherapies, the facilitation of patients’ therapeutic engagement with emotionally-laden, avoided psychic material is a

    Revista Sans Soleil Estudios de la imagen Hijos del átomo: la mutación como génesis del monstruo contemporáneo. El caso de Hulk y los X-Men en Marvel Comics José Joaquín Rodríguez Moreno* University of Washington RESUMEN La Era Atómica engendró un nuevo tipo de monstruo, el mutante. Esta criatura fue explotada en las historias de ciencia ficción y consumida principalmente por una audiencia adolescente, pero fue más que un simple monstruo. A través de un análisis detenido, el mutante puede mostrarnos los miedos y las expectativas que despertaba en su público. Para lograr eso, necesitamos conocer el modo en que estas historias eran creadas, cuál fue su contexto histórico y qué temas desarrollaron los autores. Este trabajo estudia dos casos concretos producidos en Marvel Comics durante los primeros años sesenta: Hulk y los X-Men, gracias a los cuales sabremos más sobre el tiempo y la sociedad en que fueron producidos. PALABRAS CLAVE: Monstruo, Mutante, Era Atómica, Cómics, Estudios culturales. ABSTRACT: The Atomic Age spawned a new monster type – the mutant. This creature was exploited in science fiction narratives and mostly consumed by a teenage audience, but it was more than a mere monster. Through an inquisitive analysis we can learn about the nightmares and hopes that mutants represented for its audience. In order to do it, we need to learn how these narratives were created, what was its historical context and what topics were portrayed by the authors. We are studying two concrete cases from Marvel Comics in the early 60s – Hulk and the X-Men, which will show us more about their time and society.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless
    Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless Cognitive Therapy Cognitive therapy seeks to help a client overcome difficulties by identifying and changing dysfunctional thought patterns. 1. fig. 1 shows a group cognitive therapy session Clinicians use therapy sessions to help clients address and change their negative cognitive biases. Cognitive therapy (CT) is one of the therapeutic approaches within the larger group of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) and was first expounded by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s. Cognitive-based therapies have gained increasing use in the past several decades, beginning with the cognitive revolution in 1956. CT is a psychotherapy quite distinct from other mainstream forms such as psychoanalytic or behavioral psychotherapy: rather than focusing on motivations or instincts, it is based on an information-processing model of human behavior and psychopathology. Cognitive distortions, or exaggerated and irrational thoughts, were believed to perpetuate psychological disorders. The process of learning to refute these distortions is called cognitive restructuring. Cognitive therapy may consist of testing a client's assumptions and identifying how client's unquestioned thoughts are distorted, unrealistic and unhelpful. Once these thoughts have been challenged, the client's feelings about the subject matter of those thoughts can be more readily changed. Cognition: Any element of knowledge including attitude, emotion, belief, or behavior. Schema: A person's worldview; an outline or image universally applicable to a general conception, under which it is likely to be presented to the mind Source URL: https://www.boundless.com/psychology/psychological-therapies/cognitive-behavioral-therapy/ Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/courses/psych404/ Attributed to: [Boundless] www.saylor.org Page 1 of 20 Cognitive Distortion: Exaggerated and irrational thoughts, believed to perpetuate psychological disorders.

  • Neurofeedback and Biofeedback for Mood and Anxiety Disorders
    TITLE: Neurofeedback and Biofeedback for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Depression: A Review of the Clinical Evidence and Guidelines. DATE: 15 June 2012 CONTEXT AND POLICY ISSUES Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and depression are psychiatric disorders that interfere with daily-life activities and need psychological and pharmacological treatments.1-3 Approximately, 5.7 % of Canadians 18 years and older are affected by GAD, 6.8% by PTSD, and 4.8% by major depression. 1,4 Biofeedback therapies are non-pharmacological treatments that use non-invasive techniques with bio-monitoring system and sensors to measure, amplify and feedback information about physiological processes such as respiration, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood flow and blood pressure, to the individual being monitored, thus assisting the individual to be aware of these processes and to gain voluntary control over body and mind. 5-8 Neurofeedback, also known as brainwave biofeedback, is a subspecialty of biofeedback that monitors brainwave activity from electrodes placed on the scalp. Training with neurofeedback aims to enable the individual to modify patterns of cortical activity and normalize brain activity. 9-11 This study was conducted to review the clinical effectiveness and guidelines of biofeedback and neurofeedback in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1. What is the clinical evidence for the benefits and harms of neurofeedback provided by a health professional for post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or depression?

This treatment is important because she will conduct a Real Work Lecture (K2N) related to plantation activities. Her earthworm phobia is considered to interfere with her K2N activities. Systematic desensitization, a behavioral treatment with in vivo exposure technique, was selected to overcome the client’s phobia. Treatment was conducted in six individual sessions within 10 days. A progressive relaxation technique was also performed at the beginning of each treatment session to provide a relaxing effect on the client before the treatment. Results were measured using the Scale of Subjective Units of Discomfort (SUDS).
