On July 23, 2008, the Office received the Service's Section 20 Board of Investigation Regarding Allegations of Inappropriate Injections Administered at Joliette Institution between June 27 and July 26, 2007. Our Preliminary Review of the Section 20 Board of Investigation (dated August 19, 2008 and shared with the Service on December 5, 2008) noted several discrepancies between the Bot findings and the use of force reviews conducted at the Institutional, Regional and National (Women Offender and Health Care Sector) levels. The findings of the Bol were also inconsistent with our detailed review of the video evidence. Confronted with an irreconcilable interpretation of the events under scrutiny, my Office commissioned Paul Beaudry, MD, FRCPC to conduct an independent expert review of the treatment received by Ms. Smith, specifically the forced medical injections administered on July 22, 23 and 26, 2007 at Joliette.

PERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY 1 PERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TRAINEE THERAPISTS by IAN CHRISTOPHER ABRAMS THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the School of Health Professions The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas, Texas In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF REHABILITATION COUNSELING PERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY 2 Copyright © 2015 by Ian Christopher Abrams All Rights Reserved PERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY 3 Abstract This paper aims to synthesize the literature on personal psychotherapy and graduate training in the helping professions to determine whether personal therapy should belong to the standard set of activities and competencies required of trainee psychotherapists. Though personal psychotherapy has a long history as a training tool, it is seldom formally required or recommended in programs today. Benefits to the clinician have been widely reported; whether clients benefit is a subject of ongoing debate. It appears that most psychotherapists eventually do enter therapy at some point in their career, but not necessarily in training. The paper attempts to determine what is of value to the trainee therapist and how it can be integrated with the goals of training programs.

  • Image and Imagination As Therapeutic Support. Know Oneself and Re-Educate Oneself Through Vision †
    Proceedings Image and Imagination as Therapeutic Support. Know Oneself and Re-Educate Oneself through Vision † Anna Marotta * and Rossana Netti DAD (Department of Architecture and Design), Politecnico di Torino, 10129 Torino, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the International and Interdisciplinary Conference IMMAGINI? Image and Imagination between Representation, Communication, Education and Psychology, Brixen, Italy, 27–28 November 2017. Published: 18 January 2018 Abstract: This research aims to identify and understand the possible approaches in psychological environment, through the images and imaginary as a therapeutic tool. The image is investigated in the film “projection”: this latter is not only intended as a visual projection on the plane of expression, but it is also the projection of the self, implemented by the director and the actors, but also by the spectator, who becomes a participating observer of the story told. An example that combines all these aspects can be identified in Hitchcock’s figure, for his film culture, for the recording technique, but also for his complex psychic characteristics. The critical synthesis of the most significant works of his film production, can be a possible example for the research proposed here. In particular, some elements of vision and representation were privileged in relation to the relationship between image, imaginary and psychological aspects. Keywords: imagination; vision; fantasy; metaphor; therapeutic aid 1. Introduction Mental images, such as dreams, are emerging symbols from the unconscious that can be investigated and understood to modify and enhance the approach to the real world, but also with oneself. To imagine is not always a simple process to put into practice: for some the production may be excessive or disorderly, for other deficient or problematic and moreover the mind may not be able to distinguish reality from fantasy.

  • Therapy Unit 13 Chapter 15
    Therapy Unit 13 Chapter 15 AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice BIG IDEAS The Psychological Therapies Evaluating Psychotherapies The Biomedical Therapies Preventing Psychological Disorders History of Insane Treatment Maltreatment of the insane throughout the ages was the result of irrational views. Many patients were subjected to strange, debilitating, and downright dangerous treatments. Philippe Pinel in France and Dorthea Dix in America founded humane movements to care for the mentally sick. Philippe Pinel (1745-1826) Dorthea Dix (1802-1887) Types of Therapies Psychotherapy treatment consisting of an interaction between a trained therapist and a patient seeking treatment. Biomedical therapy uses drugs or other procedures that act on the patient’s nervous system, treating his or her psychological disorders. An eclectic approach uses various forms of healing techniques depending upon the client’s unique problems. Psychological Therapies We will look at four major forms of psychotherapies based on different theories of human nature: 1. Psychoanalytic theory 2. Humanistic theory 3. Behavioral theory 4. Cognitive theory 1: What are the aims and methods of psychoanalysis, and how have they been adapted in psychodynamic therapy? Psychoanalysis The first formal psychotherapy to emerge was psychoanalysis, developed by Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis: Aims Freud felt psychological problems originate from childhood repressed impulses and conflicts, so the aim of psychoanalysis is to bring repressed feelings into conscious awareness where the patient can deal with them. When these id-ego- superego conflicts are released, the patient’s anxiety lessens. Psychoanalysis: Methods Dissatisfied with hypnosis, Freud developed the method of free association to unravel the unconscious mind and its conflicts. The patient lies on a couch and speaks about whatever comes to his or her mind.

  • 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.

  • The Ethic, Phenomenology and Diagnostic of Post-War French Psychiatry
    The Ethic, Phenomenology and Diagnostic of post-war French Psychiatry Thesis submitted to the University of London for the award of Doctor of Philosophy By, David Reggio Goldsmiths College, Department ofHistory, University of London November 2005 1 Abstract of Thesis The thesis seeks to examine the ethical, phenomenological and diagnostic renewal of psychiatry in post-war France. The particular focus of study will be to bring to light (1) the emergence of a psychiatric movement that was to become known as Institutional Psychotherapy in 1952, (2) the inauguration of a particular post-war clinical sentiment of sympathy, (3) and the more specific developments of the psychopathology of schizophrenia undertaken by Dr. Franyois Tosquelles and Dr. Jean Oury. The thesis is composed of three chapters: The first chapter of the thesis, presents a bi-focal analysis of a philanthropic politic characterising two significant moments of medical reform, where psychiatry finds its Hippocratic and Apostolic definition as a vocation addressing the imperial need of man. The first moment, is that of Philippe Pinel in a Post­ Revolutionary France, who urged for more specialised spaces employing the non-violent treatment of the insane. The second, is the German Occupation of France, where the psychiatrist's personage in the questionably 'free' Vichy South is one that is dramatic and resistant. This historical study is conducted in order to bring to light the methodological shift within the history of European psychiatry: what was the art of medicine and alienation for Pinel of the Paris Pitie Salpetriere, is extended and redefmed as the art ofsympathy and dis-alienation for those of the clinical fraternity of Saint-Alban.

  • Personality Disorders: Concepts, Constructs and Nosography
    Review Article World Journal of Psychiatry and Mental Health Research Published: 04 Jan, 2021 Personality Disorders: Concepts, Constructs and Nosography Roberta Lanzi1, Cristina Gramaccia2, Giulia Menculini1, Patrizia Moretti1, Tiziana Sciarma1, Andrea Raballo1 and Alfonso Tortorella1* 1Department of Psychiatry, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy 2School of Medicine, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy Abstract Personality Disorder (PD) is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectation of the individual’s culture. It is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, it’s stable over time and leads to distress or impairment. According to a systematic review, the worldwide pooled prevalence of any PD is 7.8% (95% CI: 6.1-9.5) and rates are greater in high-income countries (9.6%, 95% CI: 7.9-11.3) compared with low- and middle-income countries (4.3%, 95% CI: 2.6-6.1). Global rates of cluster A, B and C PD are 3.8% (95% CI: 3.2-4.4), 2.8% (1.6, 3.7%) and 5.0% (4.2, 5.9%). The aim of this narrative review is to reconstruct the evolution of the concept of Personality and Personality Disorders from their origins to nowadays controversies regarding categorical versus dimensional models. Keywords: Personality disorders; Categorical model; Dimensional model; AMPD Personality Disorders: From the Origin to the Pre-DSM Era The first attempts to describe personality and its disorders date back to ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy. Confucius (551-479 BC) describes personality as influenced by “blood and OPEN ACCESS vital humors” which changes within the life of the person representing a physical (blood - xuè) and psychological (vital humors - qì) theory (Confucius, 1984) [1-5].

  • Philippe Pinel, Linguist: His Work As Translator and Editor
    Philippe Pinel, linguist: his work as translator and editor By Dora B.Weiner Of all the early writers in the field of psychiatry, Philippe Pinel (1745—1826) is by far the best known. His textbook, Traité méciico-phi/osop/iigwe sur Z'a/iénafion meutaZe ou Za manie (1800) was the only such book repeatedly translated into foreign languages. Thus, the Hungarian physician Michael Wagner produced an excellent German version as early as 1801 a Spanish translation, by Dr. Guarnerio y Allavena, appeared as early as 1804®, the English doctor D.Davis published an English edition in 1806®, and the Italian physician C.Vaghi followed suit in 1830h The French innovator's thought thus reached the whole civilized world. The question raised in this short paper is whether the reverse was true: how open was Pinel to foreign influences? In his knowledge or ignorance of foreign languages, Pinel was typical of his time and country. The thinkers of the Enlightenment were all good classicists, and the French appreciated contemporary English writers above all others. An excellent early education in a school run by the Pères de la doctrine chrétienne gave Pinel thorough Greek and Latin training. He retained an active familiarity with the classical writers on medical and psychologic topics all his life. In fact, about half of the substantial professional library of 234 books he left at his death was in Latin. These volumes included not only the classic authors, but modern writers who used Latin, for example the Swede Linnaeus, the German Friedrich Hoffmann, the Austrian Maximilian Stoll, the Swiss von Haller, the Dutchman Boerhaave, and the Italian Morgagni.
