Drawing From Turner
Full text link'Drawing From Turner' was an exhibition at Tate Britain, designed to test the worth of copying fine examples from museum collections as an active component within a drawing currriculum today. Farthing led this collaborative project, with Nicola Moorby, Collections Registrar - Prints and Drawings Tate Britain, and Professor Maryanne Martin, Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford.
Today within tertiary fine art education there are few shared assumptions concerning the value of teaching drawing as a discrete subject and of drawing course curriculum content. A group of 24 artists, students and graduates were invited to forensically draw from one of thirty drawings by Turner selected by the organizers from the Turner Bequest. The goal was to better understand the role of copying in the process of developing drawing skills. The methodology was dependant on each participant submitting to a practical exercise then completing a questionaire designed to interrogate the worth (in their minds) of that exercise.
The primary outcome was the exhibition of the origional Turner drawings and the copies, with text panels that recorded the participants’ responses to the research question. The exhibition catalogue explained the methodology and contained an analyisis of the questionaire
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)
No full textRational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT) is thought to be the first cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and was developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s. REBT is predicated on the notion that it is our beliefs about the self, others, and the world that determine how we respond to life's adversities. Specifically, irrational beliefs beget unhealthy emotions and maladaptive behaviours, whilst rational beliefs beget healthy emotions and adaptive behaviours. This chapter details the main theoretical underpinning of REBT. In recent years, most notably since 2013, sport psychologists have been applying and testing REBT across many sporting contexts. The past 10 years have been very fruitful for REBT in sport settings, and in this chapter, a timely review of the literature is provided. A hypothetical case study of an athlete who presents with issues related to anxiety and choking is then undertaken. The case study is used to portray how REBT is typically applied in a one-to-one setting, using a hypothetical transcript, and example tasks and activities. The author outlines the practical considerations when applying REBT and explores new ideas that have emerged within REBT in the context of sport
The use of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in sport and exercise
Full text linkThis opening chapter introduces Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy in Sport and Exercise to the reader and places the book within the context of REBT and sport and exercise psychology literatures. A brief introduction to REBT is given, before the importance of the book is given a rationale. Finally, readers are introduced to what they can expect from reading this book
Brief Editor Commentary on The Chapter “Dynamic Cognitive-Behavioural Sport Psychology: Taking a Multi-Modal Approach”
No full textThe editors of the current book have not included a commentary on the chapters in this book, but one of us felt compelled to make some comments here with regards to Hobson and Dixon's piece. This compulsion is driven by three chief factors: (1) my connection to this work, given that one of my fellow editors (Marc) and I were responsible for the sport psychology provision at the club prior to Hobson and Dixon, (2) my interest in the parallels between the cognitive-behavioural tradition and the TCTSA frameworks, and (3) my desire to extend the conceptual elements of what Hobson and Dixon outline in their chapter
Introduction: an introduction to applying cognitive behavioural therapeutic approaches in sport
Full text linkMany of the tools we use in sport psychology are derived from cognitive behavioural therapies (CBTs). However, there are limited case studies in the literature detailing precisely how CBTs are used with athletes. Many of the dominant theories in sport psychology, even the overly abstracted ones, have clear links to CBTs even if CBT literature is not referenced. This book brings together a collection of case studies detailing how practitioners use different CBTs with athletes. In this first chapter, the authors introduce the rationale and aims of the book “Applying Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Approaches in Sport”. The CBTs at the centre of the book are revealed, and some rationale is provided for why a book like this is currently needed in the field. The authors also offer some commentary of psychological skills training as it pertains to the philosophy and mechanics of cognitive-behavioural approaches to sport psychology

Stress Inoculation Training (SIT)
No full textA number of coping skills reflect the central role of cognition in determining a person's response to events, especially under high levels of stress and anxiety, and especially in the service of maintaining and improving performance levels during competition. One cognitive-behavioural intervention package, which draws on these coping skills, is stress inoculation training (SIT) developed by Donald Meichenbaum. In SIT, coping skills are practised in low stress situations before transferring them to high stress situations. Specifically, SIT consists of three overlapping stages: conceptualisation/education, skill acquisition, and transfer/application. In this chapter, research employing SIT in sport settings is summarised and the application of SIT to sport settings is outlined. Next a hypothetical case study of an athlete who is unable to perform to her potential under stress is outlined. In this case study, SIT is employed as an intervention and the three stages of SIT are outlined. The chapter concludes with an overview of practical considerations when applying SIT in sport, contextual factors that influence its effectiveness, and considerations for further research
