Dissociation is a prevalent disorder in India, however there is a lack of evidence-based psychological interventions worldwide. The present paper includes two case studies of dissociative motor disorder with onset in the perinatal period, seeking treatment in the Indian tertiary mental health set-up. Both cases presented with disabling symptoms of paraparesis, and mutism in one. The case series discusses similarities in presentation, socio-cultural contexts, and the psychotherapeutic approach. The psychotherapy process is discussed in detail, with a focus on challenges encountered, therapist reflections and supervision. Insights from treatment are presented, including the melding of approaches, and sensitivity of interventions to the larger socio-cultural framework.

This research presents an initial documentation of Israeli women’s sense of insecurity during the Second Intifada (2001–2005).
Drawing on feminist security theory and the intersectional approach to gender, we hypothesized that women’s familiar tendency
to develop high levels of stress following political violence would be related to previous sexual and domestic victimization,
to economic distress and ethnic discrimination among minority women, and to the cultural role of care workers among women
of all socio-economic backgrounds. A sample of 552 women self-completed a cluster of questionnaires addressing a broad array
of topics, and results confirmed most of the research hypotheses. The discussion highlights the multiple articulations of
gender, militarism, and security and their possible implications for policies of conflict resolution. 相似文献
The Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) is the most frequently used symptom validity test (SVT) by neuropsychologists and appears
to be robust in the context of a number of neurological and psychiatric conditions. The current study cross-validated and
extended prior research by examining the relation between scores on self-report measures of depression and anxiety, independently
and combined, and scores on the TOMM in an outpatient neuropsychology clinic. A total of 262 files were reviewed, 67 of which
contained complete data on the TOMM, Beck Depression Inventory-II, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results show that
scores on self-report inventories of depression and anxiety are not significantly related to scores on the TOMM, cross-validating
previous research. Extending prior research, current analyses demonstrate that TOMM scores are not significantly influenced
by the combined relation of self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety. Findings support the utility of the TOMM with
patients reporting affective disturbances. 相似文献
For practitioners, the possibility of faking on personality tests has potential implications that are much broader than those
captured by current theoretical debates over criterion-related validity, factor structure, or psychological processes. One
unexplored potential impact of response distortion involves the pass rates associated with applying cutoff scores developed
using a concurrent validation design to applicant samples. This practitioner-oriented paper compared applicant and incumbent
scores on three personality dimensions and uncovered significant standardized group differences. These differences greatly
influenced pass rates for three different selection models, which impacted expected utility of the selection system. Potential
solutions for practitioners are provided, along with recommendations for future research in this area.

The Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) sponsors the Crossing the Boundaries (CTB) workshop,
a program that focuses on the maintenance of appropriate boundaries in clergy-congregant relationships as a means to prevent
clergy sexual misconduct. Drawing primarily on an analysis of the synod-sanctioned workshop materials, an observation of the
workshop, and interviews with 10 pastors who have attended the workshop, this paper explores differing conceptions of power
and gender held by the synod officials and workshop participants. 相似文献
We examined the impact of neighborhood characteristics both directly and indirectly as mediated by parent coaching and the
parent/child affective relationship on behavioral and school adjustment in a sample of urban dwelling first graders. We used
structural equations modeling to assess model fit and estimate direct, indirect, and total effects of neighborhood structural
and social characteristics on parenting behavior and child outcomes. Observed physical incivilities in the neighborhood were
associated with lower levels of parent eliciting behavior and higher levels of child behavior problems. The effects of neighborhood
structural characteristics were mediated partially through neighborhood community involvement with children, which had a direct
significant impact on parent eliciting behavior and an indirect effect on child behavior problems. Neighborhood community
involvement with children was associated with higher levels of parent eliciting behavior and lower levels of child behavior
problems. Observed physical incivilities had a significant indirect association with poor school adjustment and a marginally
significant association with positive school adjustment to first grade. Neighborhood community involvement with children was
more strongly associated with positive school adjustment than poor school adjustment. 相似文献
