HEALTHY HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND WHEN EMOTIONS RUN HIGH DURING TRAUMA The lecturers of the department, Alla Bondarenko and Anna Rosokhata, continue not only to convey the values of the European Union to the students of the courses in Ukraine, but also use the methods of practical orientation training for this purpose. Thus, on February 19, an open lecture-training was held by Svitlana Sinyagovska, candidate of economic sciences, practicing psychologist, coach of the Trauma Care Company (Netherlands) on the topic: "Healthy human behavior and when emotions run high during trauma." During the training, the participants learned the psychological basis of the behavior of people and consumers during stressful events. As part of the event, the material was interestingly presented, the types of traumatic behavior of people, the reactions that occur in the psyche and body, as well as the peculiarities of the behavior of Ukrainians after the traumatic events in the country in recent years were thoroughly revealed. The speaker presented several interesting case situations, where the audience identified the expected and unexpected reactions and behavior of people. In general, the event was aimed to a greater extent at revealing the problems of the formation of a healthy society and each individual. We do not stop there and continue to reveal the important values of the EU for Ukraine and their aspects.

A recently published article by Ms. Rouwida ElKhalil, a PhD student at IPH, under the supervision of her PhD Advisor, Dr.Iffat Elbarazi, described protocol for a systemic review to examine and compare measurement properties of #Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) across different languages. Adhering to the #COSMIN guidelines, the review aims to summarise the adaptation processes employed in the MHLS validation studies published between 2015-2023. This protocol serves as a guideline for researchers planning to conduct systematic reviews on the measurement properties of scale validation studies. The evidence from the review will enhance the understanding of relevant stakeholders about patient education needs regarding mental health.

something to use in the future

The standards for psychological assessment in Alberta are evolving, aligning with other provinces like British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. These changes will make formal assessment a mandatory competency for psychologists. Though the College of Alberta Psychologists has not announced these requirements for psychologists practicing in Alberta, these changes are coming and will reflect the existing requirements for psychologists in other provinces across Canada. RAE Institute's Formal Assessment Certificate program has been thoughtfully designed to meet these evolving educational standards, equipping clinicians with the skills and credentials they need. Enroll today to stay ahead of the curve, enhance your expertise, and maintain a competitive edge in your practice!

ABSTRACT The authors propose an innovative group-based therapeutic activity for traumatized children in Palestine, a one-day program creating and flying kites under the leadership of a two-person team. The authors discuss the importance of flying within the religious and cultural background of Palestine as well as the prevalence of kite imagery in children's books, songs, and artisanship. Clinical cases reflecting the theme of flying are also described. The authors argue that the format of the proposed therapeutic activity is particularly appropriate to Palestine because of the large numbers of children with traumatic experiences and because of the central role of collective engagement as the bedrock of psychological resilience in Palestine. The activity of making and flying kites is especially suited to the process of working through losses, because of the kite's symbolic implications of freedom, joy, and personal agency; the child's own kite, and special messages the child may write on the kite, can express enduring psychic connection with beloved people and things who have been lost. The specifics of the therapeutic project are outlined in detail, including the capacity to recognize and to refer for specialized mental health services those children who may require it.

In this brilliant and provocative article, published in Volume 77/1996 of the IJP, Kernberg, who was about to become president of the IPA and who was aware of the problems inherent in psychoanalytic training institutions, lists and illustrates thirty methods of destroying the creativity of future analysts. They range from numerous techniques for slowing down the progression of training to the accentuation of hierarchical relationships and the strengthening of institutional rituals, from keeping the clinical competence of senior members in the shadows, whose cases are not presented publicly (at least not fully), to not devoting attention to the knowledge and study of theoretical and technical controversies. Obviously, not all thirty will fit well into the personal experience of each of us in a particular psychoanalytic institute in a particular country, but surely, many of us will find at least some of them familiar. The psychoanalysis of psychoanalytic organizations should find more space in our training institutions so that candidates and AFTs themselves are more aware of the specificities of the functioning of the institution they are joining. At this link, you will find the full text of the article and (for Italian colleagues) a commentary by two analysts from the Italian Psychoanalytical Society: https://lnkd.in/dSWehAWy Luis Valenciano Martínez, this treat is for you! #kernberg #thirthymethods #psychoanalytictraining

Fascinating. If it is any consolation, a similar process is happening in every other area of competitive human activity--not to subtract the uniqueness of the particular case (related to studying and applying psychoanalysis). This is why dangers of burnout have to be avoided and resilience somehow strengthened, which is often beyond the means of an individual and only achievable through a systemic effort supported by community and, in particular, community's more authoritative figures. One has to have patrons, models, and an unshakeable self-image, which is a lot, to succeed in any of the highly competitive and charged with all sorts of power play surroundings. I am thinking of academia looking at this, but [other] corporate environments are also similar.
