Abstract:

Many people with cancer experience multiple stressors that may stem from both the illness and different external factors. When faced with a challenging or traumatic life event such as cancer, people may experience post traumatic growth and/or resilience. To better care for cancer patients, their friends, and family, it is important to understand the elements that may influence resilience and personal growth during the cancer experience. The purpose of this paper is to provide synthesis of the literature related to resilience and post traumatic growth for those with cancer.

                Peer-reviewed research databases were searched to gather information on the relationship between post traumatic growth, resilience, and cancer. Search terms and keywords included the following: post traumatic growth, resilience, cancer, people living with cancer, resilience and cancer, post traumatic growth and resilience post trauma, post traumatic growth and cancer experience, protective factors for resilience, protective factors for post traumatic growth, risk factors for post-traumatic stress, children and adolescents with post traumatic growth, and resilience training. Upon searching these terms, a total of 12,630 articles were found. Forty-nine of these research articles met my criteria and were used in this paper. Inclusion criteria consisted of research articles from scholarly journals that addressed the purpose of this paper and reported quantifiable data. The literature examined for this review was obtained from the search engines Google Scholar, PsychInfo, PsychARTICLES, and ProQuest Central. The reviewed articles will be referred to and discussed throughout this paper

Abstract:

Despite the existence of codes of ethics, mental health professionals often find it difficult to make decisions about treating patients because their duties to patients may be conflicted. One such case is involuntary treatment for anorexia nervosa, that is, involuntary feeding of the patient without his consent. At this point the question arises to what duty the mental health professional should give priority to: the duty to respect the patient’s autonomy and the right to decide for his treatment himself or the duty to respect the benefit of the patient’s health, even if treatment decision is against his will? In order to make a therapeutic decision, it is important to take into account that a basic feature of anorexia nervosa is the patient’s distorted image of his body that can affect his ability to decide for his health. This fact leads to the question whether there is actually the concept of patient’s autonomy in anorexia nervosa and therefore the therapist’s duty to respect it or whether it is a pseudo-dilemma because the patient’s judgment is not guided by free will, but by his distorted image of his body? Despite in contemporary clinical practice respect for the patient’s autonomy is considered the highest duty of therapist, this research study concludes that moral principles cannot be considered absolute but interpretation and functional hierarchy be required depending of the specifics of each case

Abstract:

I will present findings from an original grounded theory-based study that investigates the phenomenological experience of the emotion of shame, as well as how experiences of shame may be shared, passed, and/or related between mothers and daughters. This study examines a range of memories and emotional experiences connected to feeling ashamed, including but not limited to self-consciousness, pride, humiliation, and disgust. Mothers and daughters will are asked about the role of shame in their relationship with one another and how this relationship may or may not have contributed to the role of shame in their lives. Participants include pairs of mothers and daughters culled from women ages 18+ who are interested in sharing their narratives. Data is collected through extensive in-person interviews with four pairs of mothers and daughters. The primary instrument employed is a questionnaire I developed to probe experiences of shame in one’s relationship with oneself and in one’s relationship with one’s mother or daughter. Questions explore various aspects of shame, including early memories related to not living up to standards, recent experiences with self-exposure and self-disgust, and incidents of feeling belittled, humiliated and disgraced both within and outside of the mother-daughter relationship. In addition, some questions have a projective quality, in order to elicit more unconscious thoughts and feelings of mothers and daughters. This study utilizes a grounded-theory approach that employs the constant comparison method developed by Glaser and Strauss, intersubjective consistency, and bracketing. I will also analyze the interviews using Carol Gilligan’s Feminist Listening approach in order to more fully understand how participants speak about themselves and perhaps dissociate from their experiences, as well as to gain insight into the interplay of various voices within each individual. Statistical analyses will be utilized to examine the prevalence of various themes and language use

Abstract:

Psychosomatic disorders and symptoms that correlate with the so-called burnout syndrome turned out to be the main cause of increasing rates of premature retirement of school teachers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between occupational burden and psychological strain of teachers who are still in work. A sample of 408 teachers at ten schools in Iran was evaluated. To determine the styles of coping with occupational burden we used the measure of coping capacity questionnaire (MECCA). To analyse the psychopathological and psychosomatic symptom load we applied SCL 90 R questionnaire. According to the MECCA questionnaire, 32.5% of the sample suffered from burnout (type B), 17.7% suffered severe strain (type A), 35.9% showed an unambitious (type S) and 13.8% showed a healthy-ambitious coping style (type G). Burnout was significantly higher among women, divorced teachers and teachers working part-time. As part of the MECCA, teachers were asked to rate what they regarded as the strongest factor resulting in occupational burden. Teachers indicated that, besides high numbers of pupils in one class, they regarded destructive and aggressive behaviour of pupils as the primary stress factor. According to the SCL 90 R, 20% of the sample showed a severe degree (defined as >70 points in the SCL90R GSI) of psychological and psychosomatic symptoms. MECCA type B (burnout) correlated significantly with high psychological and psychosomatic symptom load according to the SCL90R. In school teachers, burnout syndrome, a construct that derived from occupational psychology and occupational medicine, is significantly correlated with psychological and psychosomatic symptoms. Teachers rate destructive and aggressive behaviour of pupils as the primary stress factor.

Biography:

After 25 years in private practice and a term as President of the Dallas Psychological Association, I developed TherapyAppointment, a practice management software system now used by over 12,000 therapists nationwide. It serves an "electronic front office" to organize the workflow for busy therapists. I have been a paid keynote speaker at the Texas Psychological Association’s annual meeting, discussing HIPPA, EMR’s, and professional ethics. My book on creating and growing private practice is due to be published later this year. I conducted face to face interviews with therapists in several states to gather information for the book; video excerpts from these interviews will be included in my presentation..

Abstract:

Presentation learning objectives.  

1. Learn the nuts and bolts of outfitting a private practice office
2. Learn which forms of advertising work and don't work
3. Learn the minimum requirements for HIPAA compliance
4. Learn how to use a practice management system to organize office tasks, schedule clients, chart, bill insurance, and more
5. Learn when to expand your practice to additional offices and therapists

 "Taking the leap" into private practice can be an intimidating process, creating many unanswered questions:

• How do I choose a location?
• How do I fund the startup?
• How do I choose a business entity, like an LLC or an S-corporation?
• What paperwork is involved?
• Do I need a front office?
• How do I file insurance?
• What kinds of advertising work (and don't)?
• What percentage of fees will I actually take home?
• Should I offer online therapy? 
• How do I avoid burnout?
• When should I think about expanding my practice?

This presentation will cover every aspect of starting or growing an ethical private practice. It is intended to cover what wasn’t taught in graduate school: the practical side of private practice. The principles discussed in the presentation apply to any therapist discipline. The video interviews of therapists (including social workers) include their thoughts on the pitfalls and rewards of a career as a private practitioner
