  • Prevalence of Capgras Syndrome in Alzheimer's Patients
    Dement Neuropsychol 2019 December;13(4):463-468 Original Article http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1980-57642018dn13-040014 Prevalence of Capgras syndrome in Alzheimer’s patients A systematic review and meta-analysis Gabriela Caparica Muniz Pereira1 , Gustavo Carvalho de Oliveira2 ABSTRACT. The association between Capgras syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease has been reported in several studies, but its prevalence varies considerably in the literature, making it difficult to measure and manage this condition. Objective: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of Capgras syndrome in patients with Alzheimer’s disease through a systematic review, and to review etiological and pathophysiological aspects related to the syndrome. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the Medline, ISI, Cochrane, Scielo, Lilacs, and Embase databases. Two independent researchers carried out study selection, data extraction, and qualitative analysis by strictly following the same methodology. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. The meta-analysis was performed using the random effect model. Results: 40 studies were identified, 8 of which were included in the present review. Overall, a total of 1,977 patients with Alzheimer’s disease were analyzed, and the prevalence of Capgras syndrome in this group was 6% (CI: 95% I² 54% 4.0-8.0). Conclusion: The study found a significant prevalence of Capgras syndrome in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. These findings point to the need for more studies on the topic to improve the management of these patients. Key words: Capgras syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, delusion, meta-analysis. PREVALÊNCIA DA SÍNDROME DE CAPGRAS EM PACIENTES COM DOENÇA DE ALZHEIMER: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA E METANÁLISE RESUMO.

An "Authentic Wholeness" Synthesis of Jungian and Existential Analysis Samuel Minier Wittenberg University Eclectic approaches to psychotherapy often lack cohesion due to the focus on technique and procedure rather than theory and wholeness of both the person and of the therapy. A synthesis of Jungian and existential therapies overcomes this trend by demonstrating how two theories may be meaningfully integrated The consolidation of the shared ideas among these theories reveals a notion of "authentic wholeness' that may be able to stand on its own as a therapeutic objective. Reviews of both analytical and existential psychology are given. Differences between the two are discussed, and possible reconciliation are offered. After noting common elements in these shared approaches to psychotherapy, a hypothetical therapy based in authentic wholeness is explored. Weaknesses and further possibilities conclude the proposal In the last thirty years, so-called "pop Van Dusen (1962) cautions that the differences among psychology" approaches to psychotherapy have existential theorists are vital to the understanding of effectively demonstrated the dangers of combining existentialism, that "[when] existential philosophy has disparate therapeutic elements.

Delusional misidentification syndromes may be superimposed on neurological or psychiatric disorders and include delusional beliefs that the people, objects, or places around the patient change or are made to change with one another. In this paper, an adolescent patient displaying Capgras syndrome, metamorphosis, reverse-intermetamorphosis, misidentification of reflection, and reduplicative paramnesia was presented. The findings that our patient struggled with visuospatial tests applied in the acute phase as well as the observation that she refused to meet her family face-to-face while accepting to speak on the phone may support the role of right hemisphere and visuospatial functions in the development of those syndromes.

The very nature of altruism carries with it a fundamentally paradoxical and discrepant conundrum because of the opposing forces that it activates within us; inclinations to put the welfare of others ahead of self-interest are not experienced by the inner self as sound survival planning, though this has historically been a point of contention. Internal and external discrepancies cause psychological dissonance

(2016), Consumers’ behavioural intentions after experiencing deception or cognitive dissonance caused by deceptive packaging, package downsizing or slack filling. European Journal of Marketing, 50(1/2), 213-235. Consumers’ behavioural intentions after experiencing deception or cognitive dissonance caused by deceptive packaging, package downsizing or slack filling Stephen Wilkins Graduate School of Management, Plymouth University, Plymouth, UK Carina Beckenuyte Fontys International Business School, Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Venlo, The Netherlands Muhammad Mohsin Butt Curtin Business School, Curtin University Sarawak Campus, Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this study is to discover the extent to which consumers are aware of air filling in food packaging, the extent to which deceptive packaging and slack filling – which often result from package downsizing – lead to cognitive dissonance, and the extent to which feelings of cognitive dissonance and being deceived lead consumers to engage in negative post purchase behaviours. Design/methodology/approach – The study analysed respondents’ reactions to a series of images of a specific product. The sample consisted of consumers of FMCG products in the UK. Five photographs served as the stimulus material. The first picture showed a well-known brand of premium chocolate in its packaging and then four further pictures each showed a plate with a different amount of chocolate on it, which represented different possible levels of package fill. Findings – Consumer expectations of pack fill were positively related to consumers’ post purchase dissonance, and higher dissonance was negatively related to repurchase intentions and positively related to both intended visible and non-visible negative post purchase behaviours, such as switching brand and telling friends to avoid the product.

  • EASA Psychiatric Medication Guide Draft 5 12/8/17 1
    EASA Psychiatric Medication Guide Draft 5 12/8/17 Early Assessment & Support Alliance Center for Excellence (EASA4E) Medication Guide Authors: Suki K Conrad, M. Saul Farris, Daniel Nicoli, Richard Ly, Kali Hobson, Rachel Morenz, Elizabeth Schmick, Jessica Myers, Keenan Smart, Anushka Shenoy, and Craigan Usher Illustrator: Shane Nelson Introduction For many Early Assessment Support Alliance (EASA) participants, intervention with psychiatric medications is an essential component of recovery. EASA functions as a transdisciplinary team and thus we hope to familiarize all providers in the program with the following: the rationale for medication treatment decisions, general treatment targets, as well as the side-effect profiles for six commonly utilized medication classes (see table 1.) Table 1: Commonly utilized medication classes. Medication Class Description Also known as “neuroleptics,” this group can be broken down into first- generation antipsychotics (FGAs) and second-generation antipsychotics Antipsychotic (SGAs). These medications mainly work by blocking dopamine receptors— essentially “turning down the volume” on many psychotic symptoms. Includes serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), atypical agents, and tricyclic antidepressants Antidepressant (TCAs). These medications mainly work by increasing neurotransmitter levels and changing the sensitivity of receptors to neurotransmitters, alleviating depression and reducing anxiety. Includes medications such as lithium and anticonvulsants

  • Conspiracy Theory Beliefs: Measurement and the Role of Perceived Lack Of
    Conspiracy theory beliefs: measurement and the role of perceived lack of control Ana Stojanov A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand November, 2019 Abstract Despite conspiracy theory beliefs’ potential to lead to negative outcomes, psychologists have only relatively recently taken a strong interest in their measurement and underlying mechanisms. In this thesis I test a particularly common motivational claim about the origin of conspiracy theory beliefs: that they are driven by threats to personal control. Arguing that previous experimental studies have used inconsistent and potentially confounded measures of conspiracy beliefs, I first developed and validated a new Conspiracy Mentality Scale, and then used it to test the control hypothesis in six systematic and well-powered studies. Little evidence for the hypothesis was found in these studies, or in a subsequent meta-analysis of all experimental evidence on the subject, although the latter indicated that specific measures of conspiracies are more likely to change in response to control manipulations than are generic or abstract measures. Finally, I examine how perceived lack of control relates to conspiracy beliefs in two very different naturalistic settings, both of which are likely to threaten individuals feelings of control: a political crisis over Macedonia’s name change, and series of tornadoes in North America. In the first, I found that participants who had opposed the name change reported stronger conspiracy beliefs than those who has supported it. In the second, participants who had been more seriously affected by the tornadoes reported decreased control, which in turn predicted their conspiracy beliefs, but only for threat-related claims.
