Rutgers' 1870 Centennial Celebration and Other Charter-Related Puzzles
No full textAs Rutgers celebrates its 250th anniversary, this article looks back at other moments of celebration in its history, particularly its centennial celebration and the first Charter Day. It discusses how, after celebrating the centennial in the "wrong" year, the Rutgers community came to have a better understanding of its own founding and history. This article examines how Charter Day came into being, and demonstrates the impact of Rutgers' acquisition of a contemporaneous copy of its second charter (from 1770)
On How Psychotherapy Can Be Helpfully Integrated Into Mindfulness Practice
No full textThis commentary presents a discussion of some of the theoretical and technical aspects of Buddhist thought that Samlin used in his therapy with clients. The Buddhist roots of his "Attachment/Aversion Model of Client Suffering" are explored, and their origins in the Buddhist psychology known as Abhidharma are noted. The Abhidharma is placed within the context of modern theories of conditioning. I then outline how ideas and practices from the Buddhist tradition fit very well into the major contemporary psychotherapies, as Samlin shows using the TLDP model. Some reasons are presented for the advantages of integrating Buddhist thought and practices into psychotherapy. Finally, some practical suggestions are proposed for how to use this approach in psychotherapy with clients
太郎の事例における文脈の役割
No full text評者は,著者らがこの事例研究を発表したことに敬意を表したい。本論文は,行動的に観察可能であること,そして確実に定量化できることを報告することに力点をおいた点において注目に値する。科学的厳密さに対する著者らのコミットメントは称賛に値する。日本の心理臨床家は,本論文の心理面接セッションの記述を,エビデンスに基づく心理介入の一モデルとして参考にできるだろう。もう一方で,評者は,職場における問題と職場での彼の症状,家族内での葛藤などを含め,クライエントの太郎を取り巻く文脈的要素,彼の主訴,そして,治療関係,面接における彼の感情とそれに対するセラピストの反応,彼のセラピーについての検討があれば良かったと感じた。これらの変数を,信頼性をもって測定できる尺度がすでに開発されている。太郎とセラピストの作業の中にこれらの尺度が導入されると読者も治療的プロセスをよりよく理解し,この事例研究における変容メカニズムも浮き彫りになるはずである
A Life-Saving Therapy: The Theory-Building Case of "Cora"
No full textThe present paper presents a case study of long-term (121 sessions over three years), integrative therapy with "Cora," a client with a history of severe relational trauma that had led to difficulty in forming close relationships, and a history of hospitalization resulting from a series of suicide attempts. Despite these challenges, Cora reported a highly satisfactory outcome at the end of therapy. Using the format of a theory-building case study (McLeod, 2010; Stiles, 2007), qualitative analysis of session evaluations, session transcripts, and post therapy interviews were used to investigate how both the client and therapist understood the process of therapy and why it had been successful. Data from quantitative process and outcome measures were analyzed to provide contextual information. In spite of repeated challenges and difficult therapeutic situations, Cora and the therapist were able to establish a recurring pattern of interaction that they found relevant and productive and that was characterized by persistence. Other helpful aspects of the therapy process included acting with courage, and the use of symbolic representations of their accomplishments. The results contribute to our understanding of the process of therapy with clients who have been exposed to severe relational trauma. The discussion includes reflection on methodological issues associated with mixed-methods case study research in psychotherapy
Against the "Coverage" Mentality: Rethinking Learning Outcomes and the Core Curriculum
No full textThis article proposes a revised way of approaching the learning outcomes of introductory courses in Art History and Art Appreciation. Taking into account disciplinary complexities, this article argues that instructors can improve student learning by focusing on "understanding" and "application" (the second and third levels of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy pyramid) rather than "remembering" (the bottom level). The article argues that focusing on student understanding and application of ideas rather than memorization can improve the value of introductory courses both for art history and for the core curricula that these courses often serve
Expanding My Perspective on the Case of Daniel
No full textI appreciate the reflections on the case of Daniel from Dr. Jill Bresler (2016) and from Dr. Stephen Holland (2016) —two experienced clinicians well versed in moving between psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral orientations to more comprehensively meet the needs of their patients. Dr. Bresler’s response led me to think more about my development as a therapist and the process through which a psychoanalyst struggles to become more integrative. Dr. Holland’s response provided a helpful overview of additional cognitive techniques I might have used, but it also suggested that there may be limits to integrating certain aspects of different theories because of fundamental discrepancies. 
Introduction to Case Study Special Issue -- Case Studies in Japan: Two Methods, Two Worldviews, Part 2
No full textThe goal of this special issue is to present two dramatically different models of case studies, to compare their methodological features, and to explore potential ways to integrate the two to make best use of their respective strengths. The two case study articles present an opportunity to view the breadth of psychotherapy case studies and psychotherapy practice inJapan. The commentaries provided by four eminent psychologists from both in and outsideJapan, and the subsequent responses from the two main authors, produce rich and stimulating dialogue that provides a forum for learning through case studies. This dialogue also helps to delineate the features of each case study. Reflecting on the two case study articles and the four commentaries, as the action editor of this special issue I offer my own observations, focusing on methodological issues of case studies and also on issues associated with differing cultural practices
Conceptualizing the Complexity of Change in Psychotherapy: The Case of "Cora"
No full textIn this article we respond to the commentaries by Altman and Miller (2016), Bohart (2016), and Timulak and Keogh (2016) on our case of “Cora,” which involved over 121 psychotherapy sessions with a client with a history of severe relational trauma that had led to difficulty in forming close relationships, as well as a series of suicide attempts (Halvorsen, Benum, Haavind, & McLeod, 2016). The commentaries differ in their view of the value of Cora’s case, interpretations of the material, and methodological preferences. Together the commentaries illustrate the complexity of change in psychotherapy, how we need multifaceted approaches to understand change, and the challenges in writing up a case in this context. We call for further dialogue within the psychotherapy research community around the nature and implications of methodological choices arising from the conduct of case study research in this field
