Get PDFThe ECUAD DONOR MAP series is a zine and two posters connecting some of the biggest donors for our new campus to local gentrification and other Place-based violence. The series is by Mickey Vescera and Mickey Morgan for FALL 2020 SOCS-302 Ethics of Representation. Some questions we contemplated in the construction of these maps, and throughout our scholarship at Emily Carr University of Art + Design: How did we get here in this shiny new campus “owning” the Land? Who are our donors that paid for this? Where do we find them in our school and in our neighbourhoods? How much of the “property” in East Van do they own? What other capital investments do they hold? Who does our being here serve? And ultimately, how can we disrupt this built-in power imbalance to be better neighbours?

Pattern Formation, Ruptures, and Repairs in Treatments of Personality Disorders: An Idiographic Case Series Study
Get PDFBackground: Any human communication is based on verbal, emotional, and movement patterns that weave within and between conversation partners. Personality disorders (PD), characterized by emotional dysregulation, attachment instability, and impulsivity, present disruptions in the integration of these coordination dynamics influencing alliance formation and outcome. Therapists, regardless of their clinical expertise, often find themselves grappling with the complexities of tailoring PD treatment. The alliance is often challenged by significant tension or breakdowns increasing risk of impaired progress. Thus, this
multi-method comparative case series study investigated how four therapists tailored their treatment with four PD patients in amentalization-based treatment
program to identify patterns of interaction that might facilitate or hinder the therapeutic process during sessions characterized by severe disruption.
Methods: The Symptom Checklist (SCL-92) was applied to identify two
successful and two unsuccessful PD treatments. The Rupture Resolution Rating System-Revised was used to detect sessions with rupture frequency peaks in each treatment case. Therapist adherence and competence were assessed with the Mentalization-Based Therapy Adherence and Competence Scale. Heart rate patterns were calculated with cross-recurrence quantification analysis
to examine synchronization. An interpretative phenomenological analysis examined the therapeutic process, in addition to quantitative measures. Results: In sessions with increased rupture frequency, therapists had difficulties managing ruptures and struggled to tailor their treatments no matter the treatment outcome and therapist experience level. Therapists showed high contribution to confrontation ruptures, low adherence and competence ratings, decreased ability to stimulate a mentalizing environment, and inattentiveness to the patients’ mental and emotional states during rupture management. Interestingly, more positive heart rate recurrence correlations were identified
in sessions from successful treatments showing different regulatory patterns in rupture peak sessions from good vs. poor outcome treatments.
Discussion: Our results make a significant contribution to psychotherapy
research by offering a multifaceted perspective on how dynamical alliance processes might foster or hinder the therapeutic process. The clinical implications of low adherence, therapist strategic competence, and increased HR synchronization between therapist and patient in rupture intense sessions are discussed
Mickey Spillane’s Necropolis
No full textThis chapter links the biography and ideology of best-selling pulp author Mickey Spillane with the emergent image of the dying city after World War II. Spillane crafted an image of New York City as physically decaying, demographically in flux, and overrun by violent criminals. These problems required an authoritarian response, illustrated by the character of Mike Hammer, a private investigator turned vigilante who skirts due process to restore order. Spillane’s work offered a template for various critics of New York in the postwar era, as demonstrated in the chapters that follow.</p
Writing about bugs: Teacher modelling peer response and feedback
No full textThis is one teacher’s story about teaching writing. It describes and explains how Mickey (the second author) encouraged her young writers (6–7-year-olds) to collaborate with their peers ‘to make their writing even better’. The article describes how the teacher, Mickey, redesigned her writing lessons to further scaffold beginner writers. Mickey fostered peer response that involved the young writers working with partners—first by becoming active listeners, taking on the role of audience, and then by providing specific feedback on each other’s texts. This resulted in Mickey’s students developing the social skills of collaboration and capacity to engage in dialogic conversations. Furthermore, the students’ developing understanding of evaluation and critique enhanced their ability to change and improve their own written texts
Sociodrama: an interpretive theory for the practice of public relations
No full textIn this unique book, Thomas Mickey looks at public relations from a humanistic definition that is focused on understanding publics rather than controlling them or predicting their behavior. Most public relations books assume several theories, which are more positivist in their approach, because they view public relations as a science. Sociodrama moves beyond that assumption to take public relations as a form of interaction. In this application of the theory of Sociodrama to public relations, Mickey describes Sociodrama\u27s focus on language as the way to constitute the organization rather than as a tool to get something done. The author explains how the theory of Sociodrama proposes elements and levels of a drama present in our language. His study makes use of 2 qualitative research methodologies: focus groups and Q sorting, with a whole chapter of the book devoted to case studies. Mickey\u27s study allows students to obtain a different view of public relations and makes the reader aware of the drama in the language of the organizations and the language of the public. The practitioner can use the knowledge gained from this book to interact in a way which builds a relationship with the publics, talking with them, and not to them.https://vc.bridgew.edu/fac_books/1105/thumbnail.jp

Manifesto on Neighbourliness
Get PDFThe manifesto and toolkit offers a starting place for ethical creative inquiry when making work with other people or community from an institutional position, such as student, artist-in-resident, or faculty. It is in response to the author’s experience as a community practice artist who spent their undergraduate degree at Emily Carr University frustrated with the overwhelming pressure to create fast-paced, ethically questionable projects using community as subject. Manifesto on Neighbourliness: Ethics Toolkit for Creative Community Inspiration collates knowledge shared via conversation, reading assignments, making mistakes, and other forms of interdependent inquiry. Mickey L.D. Morgan explores ethics through themes such as care, mitigating violence, responsibility, while at the same time an attempt at practicing these through situating themself within the text
Towards preference-based and person-centered child and adolescent psychiatric service provision
Get PDFSelf-reported patterns of impairments in mentalization, attachment, and psychopathology among clinically referred adolescents with and without borderline personality pathology
Get PDFBACKGROUND: Previous research, which primarily focused on adult samples, suggests that individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) display high levels of psychopathology, dysfunctional mentalization and problematic attachment to others. The current study investigated whether impairments in mentalization, attachment, and psychopathology are more severe in outpatient adolescents with BPD than in a clinical comparison group.METHODS: Consecutive referrals to a child and adolescent psychiatric clinic were clinically assessed with a battery of self-report instruments to assess mentalization, attachment, and psychopathology. Specifically, in regard to BPD a self-report questionnaire was employed to decide if patients were classified into the BPD or the clinical comparison group. The main outcome variables of adolescents with a primary diagnosis of BPD were then compared with those of a clinical comparison group comprising patients receiving psychiatric diagnoses other than BPD.RESULTS: Relative to the clinical group without BPD, and after controlling for sociodemographic variables, the BPD group displayed poorer mentalizing abilities, more problematic attachments to parents and peers, and higher self-reported levels of psychopathology.CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that BPD is a severe mental condition in adolescents and is characterized by poor mentalizing abilities, attachment problems and high levels of psychopathology compared to adolescents with psychiatric disorders other than BPD. Hence, clinicians should consider BPD when conducting diagnostic assessments, and evidence-based treatments for this vulnerable group should be developed.</p
