Abstract:
Adolescence has been characterized as a formative time of stress, anxiety, and change. Any index of adolescent development confirms the fact that this is a difficult developmental period. Youths are dealing with demands from a myriad of directions and thus require guidance and skill to optimally grow through this stage. An affective, personal development program designed to address adolescent needs is investigated in this study. Although the literature supports the need for affective, developmental education, little empirical evidence exists to document the impact, value and validity of such educational programs. This study tested a hypothesis that an affective, personal development program would enhance the overall psychological well-being of adolescent participants. A secondary hypothesis was that this educational training would have a differential outcome for gender. Sixty nine subjects, aged fourteen to nineteen, completed the Personal Orientation Inventory: 37 females, 26 males, and 6 returnees. The POI is purported to measure positive mental health; the interviews and questionnaires were designed to reflect the participants' self-perceived gains. Statistical analyses indicated significant positive changes on all POI scales for the pooled male and female scores. Gender differences were found, favoring females, on the two POI major scales and six of the ten subscales. All findings, qualitative and quantitative, indicate that an affective personal development program does enhance personal and interpersonal growth, thus the overall psychological well-being of adolescents. This program, although beneficial to both males and females, appears to have a more favorable outcome for females.

Full text
Abstract:

This qualitative case study of a meditation group known as the Process Group examines the group's collaboration on practices that foster spiritual maturation following spiritual opening into the first phase of enlightenment. Twenty-one participant accounts provide an intimate portrait of stabilizing and integrating Unity consciousness, maintaining a co-creative relationship with the Divine, and actively expressing this in the world, especially through creative altruism. Using the hermeneutical research method known as intuitive inquiry, analysis of the data employed traditional and non-traditional approaches that were supported with member validity checks. Findings generated a clear picture of optimal group functioning in higher stages of consciousness, practices that lead to and sustain nondual awareness in day-to-day interaction, and conditions that generate creative altruism. Findings are distilled into lenses that can be operationalized into training programs for teams interested in altruistic activity. The Process Group demonstrates that peak spiritual experiences can be supported with group practices that deepen the spiritual opening process and the mutually affecting relationship with the Divine over time, increasing relational intelligence and creative expression. Findings also demonstrated that spiritual maturation can increase individuation and communion simultaneously and interactively. This is a portrait of spiritual practice that facilitates fully embodied enlightenment, active incarnation in the world, presenting the healed versions of what is possible in the clearest human interaction, and maturation that proceeds in cooperation with the Divine.

Roeske, Danielle. "From self-doubt to uncertainty in the analytic act| A narrative study of therapist maturation." Thesis, California Institute of Integral Studies, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3594745.

Full text
Abstract:

This qualitative study explored and analyzed the narrative experiences of senior psychotherapists and their capacity to tolerate and make meaning of uncertainty in their clinical work. While research on therapist development tends to agree that the maturation of the clinician is an ongoing process (Bruss & Kopala, 1993; Eckler-Hart, 1987; Gold, 2005; Guinee 1998; Kaslow & Rice, 1985; Lamb, Baker, Jennings & Yarris, 1982; Solway, 1985; Suran & Sheridan, 1985), little research has been conducted that documents this process from the perspective of the senior analyst. In addition, despite widespread acknowledgment of uncertainty as an ever-present phenomenon among clinicians, there have been few studies that address how a relationship to uncertainty unfolds. In other words, how does one move from a primary position of insecure self-doubt into an openness and tolerance for analytic uncertainty? This study employed a theoretical framework to help organize the inquiry and data analysis. Using Ogden's (1986) interpretation of Klein's (1946/1994) paranoid-schizoid/depressive model, the experiential constructs of analytic uncertainty and insecure self-doubt were explored in the form of an ongoing dialectic. Semistructured interviews were conducted among eight San Francisco Bay Area psychoanalytically oriented psychologists and data were analyzed through open coding. The results yielded a total of 11 core themes and 9 subthemes, distributed among 3 principle sections: Integration of Uncertainty, Early Encounters With Uncertainty and Self-Doubt, and Abstract Analysis: An Ongoing Dialectic. Key findings from the present study include (a) uncertainty is core to analytic work and is what allows for creative discovery; (b) despite its value, uncertainty is difficult to bear; (c) early encounters with clinical uncertainty often lead to feelings of self-doubt; (d) self-doubt, when experienced as a personal failing, has a tendency toward shutting therapists down; (e) therapists' experiences of self-doubt and uncertainty remain in an ongoing dialectic; and (f) faith is the impetus behind tolerance for uncertainty and it enables productive use of self-doubt.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous genetic research has identified many human genes with allelic variation that are associated with differences in hormone synthesis. Still other non-genetic biological research has shown that increased levels of hormones are predictive of onset of puberty and that pubertal maturation is one of the strongest predictors of sexual activity onset. Studies informed by evolutionary theory have also shown that family context, such as the presence or absence of the biological father in early childhood, can predict pubertal maturation and, indirectly, subsequent sexual activity. This study was unique in that no research to date had attempted to use genetic markers as direct predictors of pubertal maturation and subsequent onset of sexual behavior in adolescents. Two genes of particular interest included the androgen receptor (AR) gene and the cytochrome P450c17-alpha gene (CYP17). Saliva samples (for genetic marker identification), pubertal status, and sexual behavior measures were gathered bi-annually from 248 post-menarcheal females over 2--3 years. Hierarchical linear modeling and growth curve analyses revealed that the A1/A1 allele of the CYP17 gene was predictive of the presence of a biological father, which predicted age at menarche. Later ages at menarche predicted lower onset level of sexual development and earlier ages at menarche predicted higher onset levels of sexual development; however, lower onset levels of sexual development predicted faster rates of sexual development. These findings show that genetic markers can be used to help identify variation in timing of pubertal development. Also, these results provide additional insight into understanding the differences in rates of sexual development among girls and suggest that there are mediating factors that may be buffering girls with higher onset levels of sexual development from progressing through sexual stages faster.

Full text
Abstract:
In a three stage investigation the relationship between personality type and the use of learning as a coping device during the life transitions of adults was studied. Based on the assumption that a paper and pencil device could be constructed to achieve the same or nearly the same results that have been achieved through interviews with adult learners, the first two stages of this investigation involved the construction and validation of an instrument, the Adult Development Learning Inventory (ADLI), to measure the use of learning during life transitions of adults. The inventory has five subsections: a demographic profile, Life Events, Coping Strategies, Learning Activities, and Adulthood Tasks. Content validity of the ADLI was established through both the theory based in adult learning and developmental psychology and the panel of experts. Construct validation tools included principal component factor analysis and the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA with age as the variable of discrimination. The instrument was capable of differentiating among age groups' perception of the tasks in the adult life cycle. For internal consistency, reliability estimates ranged from .83 to .94 for the subsections of the ADLI. Stage III of the investigation explored the relationship between the ADLI and personality as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which was based on the typology suggested by Carl Jung. The findings suggested only limited relationships between personality and the extent of learning activities. Specifically adults with the dominant function of Intuition can be categorized as high activity learners. The results of limited relationships between learning and personality type can perhaps be attributed to the fact that overwhelmingly (98%) these adult samples were involved in some type of learning not in spite of their life circumstances but because of them.

Abstract:
No contexto atual do tratamento da psicose, há uma ênfase em prol da utilização, quase exclusiva, de psicofármacos. Desse modo, apontamos para a importância de se considerar as repercussões desse uso de forma abusiva no processo de amadurecimento desse sujeito. Para tanto, a presente pesquisa bibliográfica utilizou as bases de dados do Scielo, NCBI, Fiocruz, Anvisa e OMS; além de bibliotecas online de universidades e de instituições psicanalíticas. Para as buscas, utilizamos descritores como: tratamento da psicose, processo de amadurecimento de Winnicott e uso excessivo de psicofármacos. Partimos da constituição e evolução do saber psiquiátrico e psicanalítico acerca da loucura. Em seguida, baseada na teoria do processo de amadurecimento do sujeito de Winnicott, é apresentado o panorama dessa teoria, de modo a fundamentar de que forma a medicação pode interferir nesse processo. Por fim, são discutidas as propostas de tratamento psicanalítico e psiquiátrico da psicose, dando destaque às consequências do uso abusivo dos medicamentos. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo aponta para a importância para uma prática ética dos profissionais que atuam com essa especificidade clínica. Além disso, ressaltamos o aspecto fundamental do uso comedido do psicofármaco para que ele possa auxiliar o sujeito na retomada desse processo.
In the current context of the treatment of psychosis, there is an emphasis in favor of use, almost exclusively, of psychotropic drugs. In this way, we have pointed out the importance of considering the impact of this abusive use in the ripening process of this subject. For both, the present research used the bibliographic data bases of the Scielo, NCBI, Fiocruz, Anvisa and WHO; in addition to online libraries of universities and psychoanalytics institutions. For the searches, we used descriptors such as: treatment of psychosis, ripening process of Winnicott and excessive use of psychotropic drugs. We depart from the constitution and evolution of psychiatric knowledge and psychoanalytic about insanity. Then, based on the theory of the maturation process of the subject of Winnicott, is presented the panorama of this theory, in order to substantiate that form the medications can interfere in this process. Finally, are discussed the proposals of psychoanalytic and psychiatric treatment of psychosis, highlighting the consequences of improper use of medicines. In this regard, the present study points to the importance for an ethical practice of professionals who works with this clinical specificity. In addition, we emphasize the fundamental aspect of cautious use of psychotropic drugs for which he may assist the subject in the resumption of the process.

Full text
Abstract:
Towards a mature shame culture seeks to identify new tools for social change through a deeper understanding of the social psychology of shame and guilt. The study takes as its starting point a suggestion by Richard Hauser and Hephzibah Menhuin-Hauser that many personal and social crises can be interpreted through the lens of a late 20th Century transition from a guilt culture to an 'infantile' shame culture. Implicit in this is the need to develop more socially mature forms.This idea is placed in the context of praxis for personal/social growth drawing on previously unpublished material from the Hauser's archive. The study then explores a theoretical framework for understanding the social psychology of emotions in general, and shame in particular. It draws on affect psychology, micro-sociology and social attachment theory. Shame is located primarily as a social emotion, with a normative function of monitoring social bonds between people - rather than, as it is usually framed, as a 'self-conscious', 'negative' and 'pathological'emotion. This reframing of the experience highlights the 'salutogenic' function of shame in building and strengthening relationships. In this frame much of what is commonly thought of as 'shame' can be seen to be the result of unacknowledged shame, where other emotions are bound to the sense of shame and carried as 'toxic' memories of unresolved shame experiences. This pattern of unresolved shame can be seen at the root of the personal and social pathologies of violence and alienation.The study charts how attempts to communicate this salutogenic perspective on shame led to an experiential education workshop Working with shame. It draws on the experience of participants in this workshop in a variety of settings (including anger management programs, workshops at men's gatherings, and community professional development training, and other group work). Interview data is used to illustrate how the masking of the physiological expression of shame, principally with anger and/or fear, interrupts the affective/emotional signals between people that would normally result in empathic responses an salutogenic outcomes. Finally, the study explores how this perspective on shame might inform social crisis-intervention programs at community level; and how it might be applied to the larger, and longer-term challenge of bringing about cultural change. It suggests key features that mark the transition from 'infantile' to 'juvenile' forms of shame and some of the factors limiting further growth towards shame-maturity.

Resumo: OBJETIVO: Comparar a maturação somática e a relação que esta tem com o desempenho físico em jovens futebolistas. AMOSTRA: Foram selecionados 105 sujeitos, entre 11 a 17 anos de idade, pertencentes a um clube de futebol do estado de São Paulo. Os sujeitos participantes deste estudo foram divididos em três grupos: grupo de sujeitos classificados como antes do pico de velocidade de crescimento (APVC), durante o pico (PVC), e depois do pico (DPVC). Para o estudo do intervalo do tempo de crescimento relativo à estatura foi estabelecida a divisão dos sujeitos de seis (6) em seis (6) meses do PVC. MÉTODO: As variáveis que caracterizam a composição corporal foram: massa magra, % gordura e soma das dobras cutâneas. As avaliações físicas foram constituídas por testes físicos de saltos verticais (SJ e CMJ), velocidade de 10 metros (V10m) e teste do yo-yo Intermitente Recovery nível 1 (Yoyo IR1). Para análise inferencial foram utilizados a ANOVA (one way) e para determinação das diferenças intergrupos utilizou-se o teste Post Hoc de Tukey, com nível de significância p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Os resultados mostraram diferenças significantes entre APVC, PVC e DPVC (p< 0,05) nas variáveis da SJ e CMJ, no consumo de oxigênio máximo ajustado (VO2max). Na curva do tempo houve uma tendência de diferenças entre os grupos para o SJ (p= 0,0188), sendo observados pontos críticos de maiores e menores valores médios nos indicadores da resistência. CONCLUSÃO: Houve diferenças no comportamento do desempenho da força explosiva quanto ao pico de velocidade de crescimento, tanto para o momento como para o fator tempo. Quando ajustado o VO2max pela alometria no intervalo de tempo de crescimento de estatura, foi observada variabilidade na curva do PVC, sugerindo um ponto crítico no pico de velocidade de crescimento dos jovens futebolistas
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To compare the somatic maturation and its relationship with the physical performance of young soccer players. SAMPLE: The sample included 105 subjects, 11 to 17 years old, belonging to a football club in the state of São Paulo. The subjects of this study were divided into three groups: group of subjects classified as before the peak velocity (BPVG) during the peak (PVG), and after the peak (APVG). To study the time interval relative growth height was established dividing the subjects into six (6) six months (6) months of PVG. METHODS: The variables that characterize the body composition were: lean mass, fat% and sum of skinfolds. The evaluations consisted of physical fitness test vertical jump (SJ and CMJ), speed (10 meters V10m) and test yo-yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1 (IR1 Yoyo). For inferential analysis, we used the ANOVA (one Way) and to determine differences between groups used the post hoc Tukey test was employed, with significance level p<0,05. RESULTS: The results showed significant differences between BPVG, PVG and APVG (p <0.05) in the SJ and CMJ, the adjusted maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). In time curve there was a trend of differences between groups for SJ (p = 0.0188), and noting critical points of highest and lowest average values in the indicators of resistance. CONCLUSION: There was a tendency for differences in the behavior of the performance of explosive force as the peak velocity for growth, both for the moment and for the time factor. When adjusted by allometry VO2max in the time interval of height growth were observed variability in PVG curve, suggesting a critical point in the peak growth rate of young players

This pattern of unresolved shame can be seen at the root of the personal and social pathologies of violence and alienation.The study charts how attempts to communicate this salutogenic perspective on shame led to an experiential education workshop Working with shame. It draws on the experience of participants in this workshop in a variety of settings (including anger management programs, workshops at men's gatherings, and community professional development training, and other group work). Interview data is used to illustrate how the masking of the physiological expression of shame, principally with anger and/or fear, interrupts the affective/emotional signals between people that would normally result in empathic responses an salutogenic outcomes. Finally, the study explores how this perspective on shame might inform social crisis-intervention programs at community level; and how it might be applied to the larger, and longer-term challenge of bringing about cultural change. It suggests key features that mark the transition from 'infantile' to 'juvenile' forms of shame and some of the factors limiting further growth towards shame-maturity.

Abstract:
Parent child communications about sex play an important role in influencing adolescent’s sexual behaviors and attitudes. The present study was conducted to examine how sexual communications between African American mothers and their children change over a period of three years in the areas of sex education, communication about risk reduction, and child and parent report of responsiveness. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses found significant linear or curvilinear trajectory in communication with sons and daughters in all areas. Gender differences were found such that daughters received more communication than sons. Furthermore, daugthers’ sexual maturation was found to be associated with a decrease in the rate of decline of communication about general sex information. For sons, mothers decreased in rates of responsiveness as sons got older; however, as sons’ sexual maturation increased, rates of declining responsiveness slowed down.

Abstract:
This collection of short stories is about being a twenty-something in the 90s, trying to get by, have a little fun and make somewhat of a mark in the process. It’s about the process of growing up, and the seemingly desperate need to hold onto all those youthful pursuits. It’s about finding out that life as an adult tries to suck the life out of you, rather than allowing you to suck the life out of it. That constant struggle, the battle of wills between attending to your needs or just satisfying your wants. This is a time for you when your needs and wants are siblings, bickering in the back of the car on a long drive up the coast. The characters in these stories are having their good time while it lasts. Avoiding the inevitable: maturity, responsibility, adulthood. And so they should. After all, these aren’t called ‘the best years of our lives’ for nothing. The stories celebrate your life as a twenty-something.

Nowadays, the transformations resulting from globalization, from technological advances and from the new conditions of being and living have generated numerous difficulties that worsen every day, leading to a worrying increase in psychopathologies affecting adolescents worldwide. We have witnessed a significant increase in the demand for psychological care in public and private health services. Given this scenario, this work aimed to investigate, through Winnicott clinical cases and vignettes of my professional practice, the specificities, the possible dialogues with the parents and the therapeutic possibilities of the clinic with adolescents, from a Winnicottian perspective. To this end, a study was made of the emergence of the notion of adolescence, as we conceive it today and of the maturational process characteristic of this phase, from the Freudian postulates to the formulation of contemporary psychoanalysts, with special emphasis on Winnicottian theory, for contemplating these aspects more comprehensively. It was evidenced that the psychoanalytic process can offer subsidies to help adolescents in their difficulties and contribute to maturity at this stage. The professional who has the purpose of providing care for adolescents needs to prepare for this type of work. The winnicottian clinic has as main specificities the need to know the process of maturation, because the disturbances are understood as paralyzes in the course of this process; the expansion of the analytical setting, to include the family, the school, among others; the use of management; the provision of a facilitating environment for maturation; besides the care of the analyst with his own maturity. Follow-up with parents is valued and carried out wherever possible because they are understood as enabling environments for maturation for their children. The therapeutic possibilities vary according to the needs and possibilities of each case, being related to the resumption of developments that were interrupted and the propitiation of the maturation inherent to that phase. Because it is qualitative research, these data can not be generalized, however, it has been shown that the possibility of helping young people in this phase can contribute so that they can develop their true self to live creatively and feel that their life is full of meanings
Atualmente, as transformações decorrentes da globalização, do avanço tecnológico e das novas condições de ser e de viver têm gerado inúmeras dificuldades que se agravam a cada dia, levando a um aumento preocupante de psicopatologias acometendo adolescentes no mundo todo. Temos presenciado um significativo aumento na procura por atendimento psicológico nos serviços de saúde da rede pública e privada. Diante desse cenário, este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar, por meio de casos clínicos de Winnicott e vinhetas de minha prática profissional, as especificidades, as possíveis interlocuções com os pais e as possibilidades terapêuticas da clínica com adolescentes, numa perspectiva winnicottiana. Para isso, partiu-se de um estudo sobre o surgimento da noção de adolescência, como a concebemos hoje e do processo maturacional característico dessa fase, desde os postulados freudianos até formulações de psicanalistas contemporâneos, com especial ênfase na teoria winnicottiana, por contemplar esses aspectos de modo mais abrangente. Evidenciou-se que o processo psicanalítico pode oferecer subsídios para ajudar os adolescentes em suas dificuldades e contribuir com o amadurecimento nessa fase. O profissional que tem o propósito de oferecer cuidados aos adolescentes precisa se preparar para esse tipo de trabalho. A clínica winnicottiana possui como principais especificidades a necessidade de se conhecer o processo de amadurecimento, pois os distúrbios são entendidos como paralizações no decurso desse processo; a ampliação do setting analítico, para abarcar a família, a escola, entre outros; o uso do manejo; o oferecimento de ambiente de facilitação para o amadurecimento; além do cuidado do analista com o próprio amadurecimento. O acompanhamento com os pais é valorizado e realizado sempre que possível porque eles são entendidos como ambientes facilitadores do amadurecimento para seus filhos. As possibilidades terapêuticas variam de acordo com as necessidades e possibilidades de cada caso, estando relacionadas à retomada de desenvolvimentos que estavam interrompidos e à propiciação do amadurecimento inerente a essa fase. Por se tratar de pesquisa qualitativa esses dados não podem ser generalizados, no entanto, mostrou-se que a possibilidade de se ajudar os jovens nessa fase pode contribuir para que possam desenvolver seu self verdadeiro para viver criativamente e sentir que a sua vida é cheia de significações

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Early psychosocial stress is conjectured to place individuals on a developmental trajectory leading to earlier pubertal maturation, earlier initiation of sexual activity and earlier reproduction than those with less early psychosocial stress. This may have an adaptive function to minimise the chances of lineage extinction, which is more likely in environments of high risk and uncertainty. Previous studies have examined the relationship between early psychosocial stress and life history stages (e.g., age at puberty, age at first sex and age at first birth). However, these studies are limited in that they either examined only a few early psychosocial stressors, examined psychosocial stress relatively late in individuals' lives and/or were restricted to women. Thus, the first aim of the present thesis was to examine these findings in both genders using a measure of early psychosocial stress comprised of 24 categories of retrospectively assessed stressors (e.g., sexual abuse, physical abuse, parental divorce, rated quality of family life) during the first 7 years of life. It was hypothesised that individuals with high, as opposed to low, levels of early psychosocial stress would pass through life history stages earlier. The second aim was to examine how early psychosocial stress affects characteristics associated with life history traits, such as individuals? length, number and type of heterosexual relationships, number of sex partners, adult attachment styles, number of pregnancy terminations, and attitudes and behaviours towards contraceptive use. High levels of early psychosocial stress were predicted to be associated with characteristics reflecting a quantitative, as opposed to a qualitative, reproductive approach (e.g., more sex partners, more short-term relationships, insecure attachment styles). The third aim was to examine how early psychosocial stress is related to mate choice because numerous studies have identified what traits individuals' desire in a mate but not whether early psychosocial stress affects these choices. ... Early psychosocial stress generally had no effects on age at first sex, age at first birth, the number of pregnancy terminations, and mate choices. On the other hand, individuals with high, as opposed to low, levels of early psychosocial stress were more likely to be insecurely attached, had more short-term sexual relationships (men only), had more extra-pair copulations, were more likely to be divorced/separated, had a greater lifetime number of sex partners (men only), and had lower self-rated frequencies of contraception use. Overall, some of these findings are consistent with life history theory, which suggests that individuals with high levels of early psychosocial stress (i.e., those living in environments of high risk and uncertainty) should reach biological maturation earlier, engage in behaviours that facilitate earlier and more frequent reproduction to minimise the chances of lineage extinction. Implications for public health, limitations of the present study and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract:
Cultural diversity is affecting every aspect of society today and nurses need to be able to provide culturally competent care to remain relevant, and useful, within the current climate. Cultural immersion experiences are one of the teaching strategies that have been incorporated in an attempt to prepare nurses to be culturally competent in practice. However, there are only a few research studies that have been conducted, within the discipline of nursing, to empirically document the process and outcomes of a cultural immersion experience. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine factors that facilitate a meaningful cultural immersion experience during a nursing program, as well as the short-term effects of such experiences on personal and professional growth and cultural awareness. The theoretical framework for the study was Leininger's theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality.This study identified factors that were relevant and important in facilitating a meaningful cultural immersion experience within the categories of situational predetermining factors, modifying factors, and transitional factors (adjustment strategies). Situational predetermining factors identified as relevant included prior personal and professional experiences, prior attitudes and values, preparation before departure, andprior cultural knowledge. Modifying factors identified as relevant included the perception of living in another world, and being "stuck there," as well as the type of location, type of nursing experience, and people met on site. Transitional factors identified as relevant included social support from classmates and the use of coping responses such as humor, self-reliance, personal strength/faith, as well as adjustment of communication style to be able to talk with host-nationals. Finally, personal and professional growth and changes in cultural awareness were identified as outcomes of the immersion experience. Further research on the process and outcomes of cultural immersion is needed to continue to generate a base of nursing knowledge related to cultural immersion, and to assist nurse educators in the planning and execution of such experiences.
