No full textGaming the Mind – Improving Access to Recreational Gaming Activities Within an Inpatient CAMHS Unit
No full textAims
1.To assess the current video gaming provisions on an inpatient CAMHS ward.
2.To gather feedback from young people on the ward on the current provisions and gather suggestions for improvements.
3.To implement any suggestions of improvements.
4.To organise regular group gaming sessions for groups and to allow access for individual use.
5.To gather feedback following implementation on how to improve further.
Methods
Using surveys, we gathered feedback on attitudes to recreational gaming, interest in gaming social events, preference for individual gaming and on thoughts of the current gaming facilities in a London inpatient CAMHS unit, from a cohort of young people admitted to the ward.
Based on this feedback we sourced funding for a Nintendo Switch from Gaming the Mind Charity and purchased a Nintendo Switch for the Unit along with preferred games.
Regular group gaming sessions were integrated into the ward activity schedule. Additionally, access for individual use was also facilitated.
Further feedback on implementation was gathered from the young people.
Results
Based on initial survey feedback, a majority of young people on the ward indicated that they enjoyed gaming and that it was a good way to “have fun, relax or socialise”.
Feedback suggested the current provisions on the ward (consoles and games) were outdated and not used frequently.
Nintendo Switch received most suggestions for best new addition to the ward.
Game suggestions included: Mario Kart 8 deluxe, Wii sports, Splatoon 3, Mario super smash bros and Minecraft.
After implementation of social gaming events into ward timetable, follow up feedback was positive, suggesting that the majority of young people who engaged in recreational gaming activities on the ward benefited from this. Feedback suggested it was beneficial in terms of mood, socialising, and as a distraction from difficult emotions.
Conclusion
Improving access to recreational video gaming consoles and games within inpatient settings is a valuable way to offer activities to improve mood and social interactions between young people in an inpatient CAMHS setting. Follow up research into efficacy would be of benefit

An examination of the significance of the difference between the neurotic symptom and the psychotic sinthome

In addition, Freud and Lacan‟s theories of the unconscious and symptom formation, specifically the mechanisms of repression and foreclosure and their consequences for the subject, will be examined. Case studies will facilitate the explanation of these theories. Author keywords: Psychosis, neurosis, psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Freud, Laca

An exploration into the psychotherapeutic treatment of orthorexia nervosa from a feminine perspective
No full textThe aim of this dissertation is not only to investigate the presenting symptoms of the
condition known as orthorexia nervosa (ON). It also seeks to understand the underlying
structures that may be sustaining this form of disordered eating. To date the
relationship between obsessive–compulsive disorder and orthorexia nervosa has not
been sufficiently examined. Through a psychoanalytic lens, the author looks at how the
creation of the obsessional structure could be used to explore and understand new
eating disorders. The research examines how a psychodynamic perspective could be
used to treat this clientele. Furthermore, the dissertation will consider the social
discourse surrounding eating disorders and how a feminine approach can be used to
bridge the gap, between psyche and soma in the quest for wholeness

No full textDie Studie nähert sich dem Thema Migration – oder konkreter: dem gemeinsamen Zusammenleben, der Deutung fremder Welten und der Erschließung von Sinn – aus einer ästhetisch-theatralen Perspektive. Wie werden in theaterpädagogischen Settings mit Kindern im Kontext von Flucht und Migration soziale Ordnungen gestaltet? Die Autorin erarbeitet im Rahmen einer Videografie ein Analyseverfahren, das es ermöglicht, der Eigenart ästhetisch-theatraler Spielsituationen gerecht zu werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, in welcher Weise die Vorstellungskraft mit dem Hervorbringen sozialer Ordnungen verknüpft ist.The study explores the topic of migration – in the sense of living together, the interpretation of foreign worlds and the collective development of meaning – from an aesthetic-theatrical perspective. How are social orders shaped in theatre pedagogical settings with children in the context of flight and migration? Within the framework of a videography, the author develops an analytical procedure that makes it possible to do justice to the specific nature of aesthetic-theatrical play situations. The results show the way in which imagination is linked to the creation of social orders
