Literature on school bullying, early psychosis and the traumatic impact of bullying is reviewed. It has been reported that a significant proportion of clients with mental problems have suffered from experiences of school bullying, an issue that has been featured in many studies in the international as well as local literature, suggesting the relationship between school bullying and mental problems is closely linked. However, few of these studies pay attention to the subjective experiences of the victims of school bullying who are found to be developing symptoms of psychosis. A narrative inquiry approach is adopted to explore the stories of 8 adolescents with psychosis who have been bullied before the onset. Interviews were conducted, taped, and transcribed. The thematic and structural analysis suggested by Riessman (1993, 2008) has been used to analyze the stories. Using Sullivan’s Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry (1953) as the conceptual framework, the findings have been separated into 5 main themes and 2 to 4 sub-themes have been developed under each main theme respectively. The first finding is the subjective experience of the being bullied experiences and its traumatic features. The second is the post-bullied complex in which the coping, the unresolved negative feelings and the dynamisms being used are intermingling. The third is the self evaluation and presentation of the participants’ self personification which includes the good-me self, the bad-me self, the poor-me self and the ambivalent-me self. The fourth is the manifestations of the psychotic symptoms and their contents. The fifth is the ii functions of the psychotic symptoms and their resemblance to the contents of being bullied experiences are found. The findings are then thoroughly discussed in the light of the existing literature; both related empirical studies and also Sullivan’s Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry. The relationship of the themes is then conceptualized in a vicious circle diagram to show the interwoven linkage among them. This study is a pioneer project in exploring the subjective experiences of adolescents with being bullied experiences and psychosis. It discloses the rich details of how the victims were bullied, and how they felt about and struggled with the victimization. The possibility of how the psychosis developed is also explored. This study also contributes to informing further social work practice and educational direction, and focuses on helping this type of client and filling theoretical and methodological gaps in this area of study. iii Acknowledgements There are many people to whom I wish to express my gratitude. Professor Kam- shing Yip has enlightened me as to what the humanistic social work profession really is. He has taught me since my undergraduate studies in social work, and has oriented me toward a knowledge of how to understand people with mental illness. Being my PhD supervisor, Professor Yip has continued to guide me through the perspective of a humanistic and holistic understanding of wounded people. I would like to acknowledge all his teaching with special thanks. I would also like to express my sincere heartfelt thanks to Dr. Carl Cheng. Dr. Cheng has been accompanying me as I went through the hardest times on my PhD journey. He has spent a lot of time reading together with me, giving guidance and comments on my writing, and providing me with emotional support. He is my teacher, a mentor and a friend I will never forget. He is such a sincere and humble person. He has always provided me with encouragement to help me finish this hard job. Dr. Patrick Law, my co-supervisor and a teacher who has helped me at the significant stage of my study, has provided me with scholarly advice as well as emotional support. His rich academic background and experience in research has inspired me greatly. I am thankful for his generosity in teaching me and caring for me. I have received additional learning from others at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University during my PhD study and I need to thank those teachers too. They are Dr. David Ip, Dr. Kwok-leung Ho and Dr. May Tam, and all three of them have enriched my knowledge of different research methodologies. Dr. David Ip has also given me a lot of encouragement and support through other forms of teaching besides formal classroom iv academic lectures. I thank him for his enthusiasm and charisma in helping and leading us. I would also like to thank my external examiners, Professor Richard Hugman and Dr. Shirley Hung for their valuable comments on my thesis. Acknowledgement should also be given to all the adolescent participants, their parents, and the referrers. Due to the need for maintaining confidentiality, I cannot name the adolescents one by one. I am most strongly indebted to them and their parents for their help and I appreciate their toughness while undergoing the hardships in their lives. I sincerely hope that all of them will make a very successful recovery. I also need to express my heartfelt thanks to the social workers and colleagues who have given me a helping hand during the whole process, and especially thank them for case referrals. They are Benson Chan, Petsy Chow, Fanny Law, Florence Pang, Maggie Lau, Wing-kin Lee, Ching-ching Yeung, Carol Leung, Alex Ho and Angela Wong. There are still many other friends who I cannot name one by one, but all of them are kept in my heart. Special thanks should also be given to Dr. Yida Chung for her accompaniment, support and help over the past years. Last but not least, thanks and appreciation must be given to my family. My father, who passed away in 2011, has left me a lot of good memories, and I want to thank him. I must also mention my beloved mother, siblings, nephews, nieces, and also their little children: I want to give them all a big hug one by one. Last of all, I want to express my greatest thanks to the warm and wonderful support I have received from Willis Choy. Thank you very much for all your love and support! v Table of Contents CERTIFICATE OF ORIGINALITY i Abstract ii Acknowledgements iv Table of Contents vi Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1.1 Rising Trend in Adolescence Mental Health Problems 1 1.2 The Linkage between Trauma and Psychosis 3 1.3 The Linkage between Bullying and Psychosis 4 1.4 The Linkage between Bullying and Trauma 6 1.5 Implications for Social Work Research 7 1.6 Structure of this Thesis 8 Chapter 2: Literature Review 10 2.1 School Bullying 10 2.1.1 Definition of School Bullying 10 2.1.2 The Behaviourist Perspective 11 2.1.3 The Victim’s Perspective 13 2.1.4 The Aggressor’s Perspective 15 2.1.5 The Nature Perspective 16 2.1.6 The Psychodynamic Perspective 17 2.1.7 Types of School Bullying 18 2.1.8 Prevalence of School Bullying 20 2.1.9 Consequences of School Bullying 21 vi 2.1.10 Summary of School Bullying Literature 23 2.2 Early Psychosis 25 2.2.1 The Definition and Symptoms of Early Psychosis 25 2.2.2 Early Conceptualizations 28 2.2.3 The Genetics and Neurobiological Perspective 30 2.2.4 The Cognitive Perspective 31 2.2.5 The Psychodynamic Perspective 33 2.2.6 The Phenomenological-Existential Perspective 36 2.2.7 The Interpersonal Theory Perspective 39 2.2.8 The Significance of Understanding Subjective Experiences 41 2.2.9 The Transition from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 43 2.2.10 Prevalence of

  • CIRCULAR LETTER #597 Pre-Meeting Spring
    CIRCULAR LETTER #597 Pre-Meeting Spring MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT MARCH 2006 Dear Colleagues: Our Spring Meeting is fast approaching and I hope it is as successful as our 60th Anniversary meeting was. This will be a very unusual meeting because the Board has planned for a strategic planning meeting to take place on Thursday, which will include the Board and the Steering Committee, to take a good look at the organization and to try to figure out the direction of GAP for the next decade. I am sure the entire organization will be buzzing about the “retreat” and everyone will get a chance to voice their opinion and views over the next few months. There are many members who love the organization and find it to be one of the few places where small groups of psychiatrists gather to work on areas of our specialty that need further exploration and explication. We are laid back and yet quite intense, creative, and still product oriented with a deep sense of comradeship, fun loving and still determined to make a mark. There is truly no other psychiatric organization like it in the world. Work in between meetings has picked up and you will hear that we have a lot of good work in the pipeline and our decision to move beyond books to other forms of publication and other media is in keeping with the new electronic age that many of us have, reluctantly, been schlepped into (at least it feels that way to me). In the last few years we have used the term “think tank” more and more frequently and that means we want to use our meetings to think out of the box, to be creative and develop new ideas, to enter new territories, and to truly believe that nothing is off limits.

  • Smith Ely Jelliffe
    Smith Ely Jelliffe Smith Ely Jelliffe Smith Ely Jelliffe (1866-1945). American neurologist, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst who lived and practiced in New York City nearly his entire life. Originally trained in botany and pharmacy, Jelliffe switched first to neurology in the mid-1890s then to psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and ultimately to psychoanalysis. He received his M.D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. Dr. Jelliffe was the Clinical Professor of Mental Diseases at Fordham University, president of the New York Psychiatric Society, the New York Neurological Society, and the American Psychopathological Association, and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases. He was also a corresponding member of the French and Brazilian neurological societies and author of more than four hundred articles. His book, The Modern Treatment of Nervous and Mental Diseases, which he co-authored with William White, has been a classic in the field, with many reprintings. Dr. Jelliffe founded Psychoanalytic Review, the first English-language publication devoted to psychoanalysis. In it, he wrote a number of articles on psychoanalytic technique, daydreams, and transference. Dr. Jelliffe is also credited with important contributions in the field of psychosomatic medicine. These were collected in his Sketches in Psychosomatic Medicine. One of the earliest Freudian adherents in the United States, Jelliffe (with the aid of his rarely attributed first wife, Helena Leeming Jelliffe, who died in 1916) produced after the turn-of- the-century numerous translations of European works in psychopathology, neurology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy. From about 1902 he owned and edited for the next forty years the influential Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease.

Gilbert, Princeton, NJ 08540, [email protected] Abstract In the 1960s, before computers enabled people to combine myriad terms in a single search and “interdisciplinary research” was just coming into vogue, Ilse Bry (1905-1974), a German-born émigré librarian working in New York City suggested that the lines between the behavioral sciences and individual disciplines were not as rigidly drawn as was assumed. With this in mind, she founded the Mental Health Book Review Index (1956-1974), compiling and making sense of book reviews from some 255 journals that, she believed, signaled trends in literature and the discovery of new knowledge. The essays she wrote for each issue were remarkable for their breadth of literary knowledge and appreciation of bibliographic applications. In 1977 Bry’s writings were compiled in a book, The Emerging Field of Sociobibliography.(Afflerbach) Figure 1. Ilse Bry in an undated photo before she left Germany. (Reproduced from Stern, 1976) As a young woman, Bry studied philosophy in Berlin, Munich, and Vienna, Austria, where she received her Ph.D.

  • The Dreams of Mabel Dodge; Diary of an Analysis with Smith Ely Jelliffe
    The Dreams of Mabel Dodge “History comes alive, as we are drawn into the dream life of Mabel Dodge, an articulate woman who played a significant role in the history of psycho- analysis in America. It is 1916 and we listen as she recounts dreams and associations to her analyst, Smith Ely Jelliffe, and he responds. Through impeccable scholarship and priceless historical documentation, Patricia Everett contextualizes a psychoanalytic adventure. Unconscious meets con- scious, patient meets analyst, and reader meets author, as this fascinating story unfolds. Patricia Everett gives us privileged access to their exciting, spirited, even thrilling interplay as they explore a realm of dreams.” — Sandra Buechler, PhD, Training and Supervising Analyst at the William Alanson White Institute, author of Psychoanalytic Approaches to Problems in Living (Routledge, 2019) “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I’d find it hard to believe that such a book actually exists. Everett presents us with the dreams of Mabel Dodge, recorded during her analysis with Smith Ely Jelliffe, one of the most influ- ential and creative of the first American psychoanalysts. We are whisked, as if by a time machine, deep into a lost world of a century ago. And what is revealed is the inner life of an extraordinary woman, the contours of the American avant-garde, of which she was a central figure, and the workings of psychoanalysis in an early, crucial period of its history.” —James William Anderson, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Northwestern University In 1916, salon host Mabel Dodge entered psychoanalysis with Smith Ely Jelliffe in New York, recording 142 dreams during her six-month treat- ment.

  • THE HISTORY of MEMBERSHIP and CERTIFICATION in the APSAA: Old Demons, New Debates
    THE HISTORY OF MEMBERSHIP AND CERTIFICATION IN THE APSAA: Old Demons, New Debates Paul W. Mosher and Arnold Richards “It is true that in all fields a person may repeat the same mistake for innumerable years and call it experience.” —C. P. Oberndorf, A History of Psychoanalysis in America,p.246 AA. Brill, “the first American psychoanalyst,” can be regarded as the founder of the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA), and in today’s APsaA the influence of Brill’s personality is still visible. Clear traces of the ways questions of status and inclusion determined his outlook on life can still be found in how the issues of certification and membership are framed in the APsaA today. Historian Paula Fass has linked Brill’s professional attitude toward membership and status to the dynamics of his character and his personal history (Fass, 1968). Brill was a poor boy from eastern Europe (Kanczuca, Galicia/Austro-Hungary) who emi- grated to America in the late 1880s. When he was fourteen years old he landed in New York alone, with two dollars in his pocket, determined to make a place for himself in society. He studied medicine at Columbia at the dawn of the twentieth century, and trained as a psychiatrist for four years at New York’s Central Islip State Hospital. On a trip he made to Europe, to broaden his knowledge of international trends in psychiatry, Brill was captivated by the dynamic psychiatry of Freud. He pursued addi- tional training at the psychoanalytically informed Burgholzli in Switzerland, and paid a visit to Freud himself, in Vienna, who selected Brill to translate his works into English.

  • Concept, in Her Example, and in Her Vision. the Story of the White
    REVOLUTION WITHIN PSYCHOANALYSIS: A HISTORY OF THE WILLIAM ALANSON WHITE INSTITUTE 1 by Ralph M. Crowley, M.D. and Maurice R. Green, M.D. The Institute began with Clara Thompson's vision and the people she attracted to her vision, not only of psychoanalysis but of life. So we must understand what her vision was in order to understand the be ginnings of the Institute. Her vision is well expressed in an unpublished paper written in 1947 entitled "Anxiety and Social Standards", in which she discusses definitions of maturity and goals in therapy. In contrast with the concept of a mature man as one who adjusts to his culture, Thompson defined the mature man as a "person sufficiently anxiety-free to be able to deviate from the culture when he finds it nec essary to maintain his integrity or when he is convinced that the aims of the culture are bad for man." on or publication of She believed that the goal in therapy and analysis "is not suc cessful conformity but successful fulfillment of what is best for man." This meant that a person in a destructive culture may have to be a deviant, or in a less destructive culture a revolutionary. personal use only.
