PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT AND TIME PERCEPTION IN POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

The professional burnout and its prevention is one of the central issues in clinical psychology and organizational psychology. Despite a big array of this subject publications, the study of professional burnout predictors and search for the tools providing its effective prevention continues. Objective: studying of individual psychological characteristics of persons with PTSD within the framework of professional burnout and proactive coping. Type of the study: analytic, prospective. Sampling: 148 people who sought psychotherapy, of which Group 1 is comprised of people with PTSD - 65 people, and Group 2 is comprised of people without PTSD - 83 people. Methods of research - psychological tests: "Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory» (ZTPI), "Maslach Burnout Inventory" (MBI), "Proactive Coping Inventory" (PCI), "BAK-conflict". Results: According to the MBI questionnaire, 75 % of the people examined in Group 1 and 28 % those in Group 2 had high and extremely high rates of professional burnout; differences on the scales of the ZTPI questionnaire are "negative past" and "fatalistic present". According to the "BAK-conflict" questionnaire, the following indicators were detected in Group 1: low self-esteem, poor quality of relationships in a dyad (the "You sphere") and relationships in a team (the "Us sphere"); disorders of perception of time parameters (the "Grand-Us sphere"); as well as the risk factors of psychosomatic diseases - an excess in the corporeality sphere, a deficit in the spheres of sociability and spirituality. According to the PCI questionnaire in Group 1, the subjects used "proactive overcoming", "reflexive overcoming", "preventive overcoming", and the "search for emotional support". Conclusions: Due to the changes in perception of time (the predominance of negative past and fatalistic present) patients with PTSD undergo a deformation of the personality relations system of attitudes and a reduction of proactive coping, which may be a cause of relations development. For the prevention of relationships in individuals with PTSD during the psychotherapeutic intervention it is necessary to take into account the "traumatic experience", to form a strong "Me-concept" of the personality based on the adequate development of the perception of time, harmonious You-relations, relying on the experience of ancestors (Grand-Us) that allows to reduce the importance of the "negative past" and the "fatalistic present," and to build a long-term perspective of the future.

Beyond happiness: Building a science of discrete positive emotions.

While trait positive emotionality and state positive-valence affect have long been the subject of intense study, the importance of differentiating among several "discrete" positive emotions has only recently begun to receive serious attention. In this article, we synthesize existing literature on positive emotion differentiation, proposing that the positive emotions are best described as branches of a "family tree" emerging from a common ancestor mediating adaptive management of fitness-critical resources (e.g., food). Examples are presented of research indicating the importance of differentiating several positive emotion constructs. We then offer a new theoretical framework, built upon a foundation of phylogenetic, neuroscience, and behavioral evidence, that accounts for core features as well as mechanisms for differentiation. We propose several directions for future research suggested by this framework and develop implications for the application of positive emotion research to translational issues in clinical psychology and the science of behavior change.

教育相談の視点から見た臨床心理学研究の動向と今後の課題

本稿では，2011年7月から2012年6月までの1年間にわが国で発表された臨床心理学に関する研究を概観した。該当期間の研究論文は，「心理的要因と適応の関係（尺度の開発を含む)」，「心理療法等の技法の開発・改善」，「投影法に関する研究」，「青年期の課題」，「中学生・高校生の適応・問題行動」，「女性の生涯発達と家族関係」，「学校における支援・スクールカウンセリング」，「子どもの育ちの支援」，「障害・疾病を抱えた人への支援」，「対人サービスを提供する専門職の精神的健康」の10カテゴリーにまとめられた。教育相談の視点を踏まえながら，それぞれのカテゴリー別に本年度の研究を検討し，研究者が学校現場など臨床的な場に身を置いて，臨床実践に即した研究を行おうとする姿勢が重要であること，調査・実験研究，実践研究に加えて，事例研究による教育心理学的な知見の蓄積を図る必要があること，臨床部門の発展のためには，教育心理学と臨床心理学の積極的な交流が必要であること，欧米だけでなく近隣アジア諸国との交流に目を向けた研究が必要であることを指摘した。

臨床心理学の研究動向と今後の課題

本稿では, 2010年7月からの1年間に発表された臨床心理学領域の論文を概観し, 今後の課題を探索した。まず, 2011年3月東日本大震災が人々の心身に甚大な傷を残したことを受けて, 被災体験, 喪失体験, 心的外傷に関する心理学的研究を概観した。今後, 被災者支援のために長期に渡る実践と研究が必要である。次に, 様々な精神症状・心理的不適応の心理治療・援助に関する論文を概観した。子どもに関しては, 不登校, いじめ, 攻撃行動に関する論文が数多く掲載された一方, 虐待は我が国の喫緊の課題であるにもかかわらず, 論文数が少なかった。今後の研究が期待される。また抑うつや社会不安・無気力の心理的症状が低年齢化し, 小中学生を対象にした研究も見られる。より早期の治療援助, 予防が必要だろう。青年期では人格障害・摂食障害など困難な事例の治療に関する研究が多かった。一般学生を対象にした質問紙調査では, 不安, 抑うつ, 攻撃, アパシー, ひきこもりなどが取り上げられた。また, 実践研究, 面接調査の質的分析による研究は, 臨床領域ではまだまだ数が少なく, 今後より一層の発展が期待される。

Boundary issues in clinical psychology: A reflection on our practice

This article is in response to Llewelyn and Gardner (2009) who discussed boundaries in psychology. The article prompted us to reflect on our own experiences of boundaries within our clinical practice, and the particular challenges we face in outreach services. Since the clients we work with access our service because they are hard to engage we find ourselves needing to be more flexible with boundaries.

Ethics in the practice of clinical psychology

The paper presents an overview of ethical issues in clinical psychology. Specifically, it addresses the broad philosophical ideas and views on mental illness on which ethical principles are based, including Greek philosophy and Christianity. It goes on to describe the ethical code of the American Psychological Association as it pertains to general principles, psychological assessment or psychometry, education or training and psychological interventions. The principles of the code and research on the same are discussed with relevance to issues and challenges to ethical practice in India, and suggestions for ethical conduct are made. The paper emphasises the need to consider different viewpoints and take individual responsibility for difficult decisions.

Boundary issues in clinical psychology

Managing therapeutic boundaries is a key professional issue for clinical psychologists. This article considers the nature of boundaries and the implication of significant boundary violation, before examining how ‘ethical thinking’ can be developed as a guide to understanding and managing this complex and important area of clinical practice.

Going Beyond the Internal—External Dichotomy in Clinical Psychology

Thinking in terms of a dichotomy between `internal' processes, on the one hand, and behaviors and events in the `external' world, on the other, is a pervasive, problematic feature of work in clinical psychology. Although there have been calls for rejecting this approach, it remains far from clear how to move beyond it. The authors address this issue by presenting a framework for participatory accounts. This framework is based on a philosophical perspective that takes as its starting point the person involved in practical activities. It includes five points about substantive and methodological matters. The authors illustrate the participatory approach by discussing a new conceptualization of defense processes called the theory of interpersonal defense in order to (a) show that going beyond the internal—external dichotomy can lead to fresh insights in a substantive area of inquiry, and (b) provide an example that can serve as a guide for investigators interested in approaching other issues in clinical psychology in a manner based on the participatory framework.

Jacobson's domestic violence research: Empirical, social, political contributions.

Neil liked nothing more than to broaden and intensify discussion of important issues in clinical psychology, which he most definitely accomplished with his writings and presentations on domestic violence. The article by Jacobson and colleagues entitled Affect, verbal content, and psychophysiology in the arguments of couples with a violent husband (see record 1995-09810-001) is a good representation of the varied perspectives and methodologies that Neil brought to his work on domestic violence. This article is noteworthy in its blending of feminist and contextual values, which often are viewed as contradictory. Feminist values are evidenced in the assumptions that domestic violence is not simply physical aggression toward the spouse but is a form of men's control over women, and that men's and women's violence in relationships serve very different functions. The contextual perspective is reflected in the assumption that it is necessary to study environmental and relationship factors to identify variables associated with increases or decreases in men's Methodologically, Jacobson et al. used multiple forms of data collection to examine wide-ranging phenomena surrounding violence in couples. Neil's research on domestic violence brings to light the multidimensional, complex nature of this major societal problem. He and his colleagues applied highly sophisticated observational and psychophysiological technologies that they might find out some things that would provide hope to battered women, and even some clues as to how to reduce battering. Jacobson's synthesis of scientific, humanitarian, and feminist values has provided a unique understanding of this problem and important information for generating solutions.
