Ego Impairment Index (EII-2) as a predictor of outcome in short- and long-term psychotherapy during a 5-year follow-up

2022

Objective This study examined the predictive ability of the Rorschach-based Ego Impairment Index (EII-2) on outcome of psychotherapy in different types and durations of therapy. Method A total of 326 outpatients suffering from depressive or anxiety disorders were randomized into receiving solution-focused (n = 97), short-term psychodynamic (n = 101), or long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (n = 128). Psychotherapy outcome assessments during the 5-year follow-up period covered psychiatric symptoms, social functioning, and work ability. Results Lower EII-2 values, which indicate less problematic ego functioning, were found to predict faster improvement in both short-term therapies as compare…

Non-melancholic depressive symptoms are associated with above average fat mass index in the Helsinki birth cohort study

2022

AbstractThere is an existing link between two of the most common diseases, obesity and depression. These are both of great public health concern, but little is known about the relationships between the subtypes of these conditions. We hypothesized that non-melancholic depressive symptoms have a stronger relationship with both body composition (lean mass and fat mass) and dysfunctional glucose metabolism than melancholic depression. For this cross-sectional study 1510 participants from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study had their body composition evaluated as lean mass and fat mass (Lean Mass Index [LMI, kg/m2] + Fat Mass Index [FMI kg/m2] = Body Mass Index). Participants were evaluated for dep…

Musical interaction in music therapy for depression treatment

2022

Music therapy is efficacious for the treatment of depression. Compared to other psychotherapeutic forms, it allows for the emergence of various modes of mutual interaction, thus enabling multiple channels for emotional expression and fostering therapeutic alliance. Although musical interaction patterns between client and therapist have been regarded as predictors of therapeutic outcome in depression, this has not yet been systematically investigated. We aim to address this gap by analyzing the possible linkage between musical interaction features and changes in depression score. In a clinical trial, digital piano improvisations from 58 Finnish clients and their therapists were recorded ove…

MATERNAL EXPOSURE TO STRESSFUL/TRAUMATIC EVENTS AND AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN OFFSPRING: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS OF A CASE CONTROL PILOT STUDY.

2023

The correlation between maternal exposure to stressful and traumatic events during pregnancy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in offspring has been studied in the literature. Fewer studies, however, have considered the mother's exposure to traumatic events during childhood. This work focuses on maternal exposure to these events in childhood and/or adulthood, relating it to autism spectrum disorder in offspring. A questionnaire was used to assess whether and to what type of event the mothers have been exposed, and to assess eventual peri-traumatic dissociation related to the traumatic event. The mothers involved in this study were recruited at the Child Neuropsychiatry Outpatient Clinic of…

"Strojna w dzieci i kwiaty" - wątek matki w twórczości Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette

2020

Niniejszy tekst stanowi refleksję nad wpływem matki na życie i twórczość Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette oraz jest próbą wskazania roli, jaką ich więź odgrywała w kształtowaniu się osobowości pisarki. Poprzez analizę fragmentów Sido, Domu Klaudyny i Narodzin dnia, a także prac kilkorga badaczy literatury, prześledzono etapy relacji, jaka łączyła Colette z matką oraz możliwie najwierniej przywołano literacki portret Sido. Próbowano dowieść, iż odwoływanie się do postaci matki miało w twórczości artystki kilka faz oraz było sposobem poszukiwania przez Colette własnej tożsamości.

Między pracą zawodową a edukacją dzieci - sytuacja zawodowa rodziców edukujących domowo

2020

The article concerns the choices between career and the upbringing of children which home educating parents make, having to provide constant care for them since they decided not to send them to school. It presents the results of qualitative studies done in Poland (2012–2019) made by narrative interview and virtual ethnography. It focuses on mothers-educators, because women are more involved in the education of children. The reconstructed professional situation of modern homeschoolers allows one to enter them into two discourses of motherhood: momism and superwomen. Those women, regardless if they take up a job or focus on just homeschooling, are connected by a simultaneous feeling of tiredn…

2019

The article is devoted to a historical overview and discussion of the current understanding and demarcation of the concepts “Central Europe”, “Eastern Europe” and “Central Eastern Europe”. The analysis is performed from a descriptive and comparative point of view, including a step‑by‑step generalization and separation of the above concepts and the verification of how natural, artificial or instrumental their character is, as well as by analysing their contrastive properties. In conclusion, the author has argued that the integration / disintegration and democratization / autocratization processes in the countries that used to be or now constitute different sub‑regions of Europe during the 20…

2021

The Assessment of the Contemporary Western Culture in the Teaching of Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger)
 The article consists of two parts. In the first one, the authors pointed out an argument in the social sciences concerning ability to reasonably use the „culture” concept in scientific discourse. In the second one, they analyzed opinions Benedict XVI ( Joseph Ratzinger) expressed about present condition of the Western culture. Views of this figure were selected to study due to recognizing significant influential role the Pope plays in the public sphere. In the opinion of Benedict XVI, today there are two cultures of the West that coexist: rational Christian culture and Enlightenment (…

Comparative study between different methods for the efficiency of the production activity in the wood industry

2017

Generally speaking, the quality and cost of goods and in particular of the wood products is a decisive condition in their sales on the market, attracting buyers to satisfy their wishes and requirements. Starting from the general idea, by which it is considered that the manufacturing activity is effective if production is obtained at maximum quality with a low (minimum) cost, or when the revenue from the sale of products exceeds the market expenditure which is necessary to achieve it, this research article aims to study ways to make production more efficient by methods which could also be applied in the wood industry, by presenting a comparative study on production optimization methods in th…
