2	Mathematical model of the dynamics of psychotherapy Unknown Date (has links) This is a novel attempt to produce a rigorous mathematical model of a complex system. The complex system under study is the relationship between therapists and their clients. The success of psychotherapy depends on the nature of the relationship between a therapist and a client. We use dynamical systems theory to model the dynamics of the emotional interaction between a therapist and client. We determine how the therapeutic endpoint and the dynamics of getting there depend on the parameters of the model. ... We describe the emotional state of both the therapist and client with coupled, first order, nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE's). The rate of change of the emotional state of the therapist and client is proportional to their previous state, their uninfluenced state when alone, and an influence function which depends on the state of the other person. We formulated influence functions based on the research literature on psychotherapy and the therapeutic alliance. We then determined the critical points from the intersection of the nullclines and used a numerical ODE solver (Matlab ODE113) to compute the trajectories from different initial conditions. ... The results validate this prototypical approach to psychotherapy ; we have shown that human interaction (in the context of psychotherapy) can be quantified and modeled using differential equations. / by Michael Douglas Norman. / Vita. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2012. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

3	An investigation into evidence-based practice in educational psychology in a diverse society Buys, Elizabeth 11 1900 (has links) Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), the philosophy underpinning professional service in the health care industry in the U.S.A. and U.K., has been accepted as a paradigm for psychological practice by the American Psychological Association (APA). The APA recommends that professionals base their clinical decisions on scientifically supported research and an understanding of their clients' specific ecological disposition. Clients are considered to have a right to efficacious interventions based on objective research findings, effective service and a high standard of care. Sub-divisions of EBP are Evidence-Based Treatments (EBT) and Evidence-Based Assessment (EBA). . South African educational psychologists have a meagre assessment ‘toolkit’ - outdated, culturally insensitive, non-standardised tests for culturally and linguistically diverse clients. Children from diverse backgrounds would have higher standards of care and more efficacious interventions were psycho-educational assessments to be culturally-sensitive. Without such instruments, ethical management of interventions is questionable, although universally, psychologists have found innovative ways of adapting their praxis to the difficulty. However, all practices and/or interventions are not based on research evidence, nor can be necessarily considered good practice. In the U.S.A. with its abundance of assessment instruments, EBA is a means of ensuring the scientific foundation for professional practice, consequently reliable, valid, culturally-sensitive assessment instruments have been produced. Findings in this study, derived from conversations with a sample of educational psychologists, revealed they were already accommodating cultural and linguistic diversity. Awareness of the value of EBA would support educational psychologists, bring them on par with worldwide praxis and enhance their professionalism. / Teacher Education / D. Ed.

5	Hyperrealitet, perceptionsfenomenologi och relationsinramning : Prövandet av en teoretisk förklaringsmodell med utgångspunkt från en kritisk undersökning av forskning om naturens läkande egenskaper. Järpeskog, Timo M. January 2018 (has links) Denna masteruppsats diskuterar naturens läkande effekt på människan genom att analysera nuvarande forskningsläge i både svenskt och internationellt perspektiv. Analysen förstås genom en teoretisk modell som baserar sig på ekologisk perceptionsfenomenologi, hyperrealitet och relationsinramning. Uppsatsens slutsats är att naturens läkande effekt kan förklaras med en perceptiv relation mellan människan och den mer-än-mänskliga världen, men också, att mer forskning behövs. / This master thesis discusses the healing properties of nature on the human being through an analysis of current Swedish and international research. The analysis is made by using a theoretical model based on ecological perception phenomenology, hyperreality and relational frame theory. The conclusion of the thesis is that the healing properties of nature may be explained by the perceptive relation between the human being and the more-than-human world, but also that more research is needed.
