The document provides an overview of disorders of perception including perception, imagery, synesthesia, abnormal perceptions, sensory distortions, and sensory deceptions such as illusions and hallucinations. It defines these terms and describes their characteristics. For example, it states that perception is an active process influenced by various factors, while imagery involves internal mental representations. It also distinguishes between different types of sensory distortions, illusions, hallucinations and pseudohallucinations. The document serves to explain these concepts of abnormal perception to healthcare providers.
This document provides an overview of disorders of thought, including their classification and specific disorders. It discusses disorders of intelligence, thinking, stream of thought, content of thought, and form of thought. Specific disorders covered include learning disabilities, dementia, schizophrenia deterioration, amentia, flight of ideas, inhibition/slowing of thinking, circumstantiality, perseveration, thought blocking, obsessions, compulsions, thought alienation, and formal thought disorder. Theories from Bleuler, Cameron, Goldstein, Chapman, Payne, and Schneider regarding thought disorders are also summarized.
The document discusses various types of abnormal perception including sensory distortions and sensory deceptions. It describes different types of sensory distortions that involve changes in intensity, quality, spatial form, and the experience of time. Specific distortions mentioned include hyperacusis, achromatopsia, macropsia, and metamorphopsia. Sensory deceptions involve illusions and hallucinations. Illusions involve misinterpretation of external stimuli while hallucinations are false perceptions without an external cause. Common types of hallucinations described are auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile, and those involving deep sensation. Specific hallucination syndromes like Charles Bonnet syndrome and phantom limb are also discussed.
The document discusses various types of memory disorders and distortions, including amnesias, confabulations, déjà vu experiences, and misidentifications. It covers psychogenic and organic causes of amnesia, different types of amnesia like retrograde and anterograde, and syndromes involving memory distortions like Korsakoff's syndrome, Capgras syndrome, and confabulation.
Schneider outlined three features of healthy thinking and five features of formal thought disorder. Delusions are firm, fixed beliefs not based on reality that are not amenable to rational arguments. Delusions can be categorized as bizarre, non-bizarre, mood-congruent, or mood-neutral. Causes include genetic, biological, psychological and environmental factors. Major types include primary delusions involving mood/atmosphere, perception, memory, or ideas of awareness, as well as delusions of grandeur, persecution, or somatic concerns. Delusions can occur in psychiatric illnesses like brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, dementia, mood disorders, Parkinson's disease, and postpartum psychosis.
Disorders of Perception can involve sensory distortions or deceptions. Sensory distortions include changes in intensity, quality, or spatial form of real stimuli. Sensory deceptions include illusions and hallucinations. Hallucinations are false perceptions without an external stimulus and can involve any sense. They are caused by intense emotions, suggestion, psychiatric disorders, sensory organ disorders, sensory deprivation, or central nervous system disorders. Auditory hallucinations in psychiatry range from elementary sounds to fully formed voices. Visual hallucinations include flashes of light or fully formed visions. Hallucinations of other senses like smell are rarer.

This document defines and classifies hallucinations, which are false sensory perceptions that occur without external stimuli. Hallucinations are categorized by sensory modality (auditory, visual, etc.), complexity, organization, and reality value. Neuroimaging research has found that auditory hallucinations are associated with reduced grey matter in language processing areas of the brain and altered connectivity between these areas and regions involved in control. Current models propose that hallucinations result from overactivity in sensory processing regions combined with weakened top-down control.

Other topics covered are motor speech disturbances, disorders of posture, and movement disorders associated with antipsychotic medication.
The document discusses various types of perceptual abnormalities including sensory distortions, deceptions, and illusions. It describes abnormalities in different senses such as vision, hearing, touch, and others. Sensory distortions can involve changes in intensity, color, shape, size, motion, or location of perceived objects. Illusions can be completion, affective, or pareidolic in nature. Hallucinations are false perceptions without an external stimulus and can occur in any sensory modality. Organic causes as well as psychiatric conditions can produce different perceptual abnormalities. The document provides examples and details of many specific perceptual disorders.
Delusion is defined as a false, unshakeable belief that is inconsistent with one's culture or background. True delusions arise from a primary psychotic experience and cannot be explained by other factors, while delusion-like ideas are secondary and derived from another mental condition. Various dimensions of delusions have been identified, including levels of emotion, conviction, consistency and preoccupation. The development of a delusion involves stages from a changed perception of reality to the formation of an autistic worldview. Primary delusional experiences described by Schneider include delusional moods, sudden fully-formed delusional ideas, and perceptions that attribute new self-referential meanings to objects.
This document summarizes delusions, which are fixed false beliefs that are firmly held despite evidence to the contrary. It defines delusions and distinguishes them from overvalued ideas. It describes different types of delusions such as persecutory, grandiose, somatic, and mixed delusions. It also discusses primary delusions that occur suddenly versus secondary delusions caused by other conditions. Various disorders and medical conditions that can cause delusions are listed.

This document discusses hypnosis and hypnotizability. It defines hypnosis and notes that hypnotizability is a measurable trait that peaks in late childhood and declines in adolescence. Highly hypnotizable individuals are more prone to spontaneous trance-like states. Hypnosis involves absorption, dissociation, and suggestibility. Applications of hypnosis include smoking cessation, weight control, and managing medical issues. Theories of hypnosis include social-cognitive views and dissociation theories. Hypnosis can help patients control stress, pain, habits and dissociative symptoms. Effectiveness depends on level of hypnotizability.
This document discusses perception and disorders of perception. It begins by defining perception as the first stage of receiving information from the outside world through the sensory systems. Perception involves an active process of transforming raw sensory stimuli into meaningful information. Disorders of perception can include sensory distortions, where real objects are perceived in a distorted way, or sensory deceptions like illusions and hallucinations, where new perceptions may or may not be in response to external stimuli. The document then examines different types of perceptual disorders in more detail, covering visual, auditory, tactile and other sensory modalities. It discusses the characteristics of illusions versus hallucinations and provides examples of different kinds of perceptual disorders.
This document provides information about sensory perception and alterations. It discusses how people normally receive sensory stimulation through sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. When sensory function is altered, through deprivation, overload, or deficits, a person's ability to relate to their environment changes. The effects of sensory deprivation can include hallucinations and cognitive and emotional disturbances. Nursing care for patients experiencing sensory alterations includes thorough assessment of their perception abilities and risks, and providing an optimal level of meaningful stimulation.

Obsessive compulsive disorder is defined by feelings of compulsion to perform repetitive behaviors or dwell on obsessive thoughts. It is caused by genetic and biochemical factors and treated with antidepressants, exposure therapy, and other psychotherapies. The main clinical features are obsessive thoughts, images, doubts, and rituals performed to relieve anxiety. Nurses assess patients' obsessive and compulsive behaviors, provide a structured schedule, and support efforts to reduce ritualistic behaviors.
This document discusses human behavior and the factors that influence it. It covers several topics related to behavior, including perception, sensation, attention, memory, thinking, and cognition. Regarding memory, it describes the different types of memory (sensory, short-term, long-term), the mechanisms that underlie memory formation and storage, and how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved from memory. It also discusses various theories of learning and conditioning that seek to explain human behavior.
The document discusses executive functions and provides definitions from various studies. It describes executive functions as a set of cognitive processes that regulate other cognitive processes such as planning, working memory, attention, problem solving and inhibition. Executive functions are controlled by the frontal lobes of the brain and are responsible for self-regulation and goal-directed behavior. The document summarizes several models of executive functions including models by Norman and Shallice, Barkley, Lezak and others. It discusses areas executive functions are involved in and factors that influence executive functions. Common disorders associated with executive dysfunction are also listed.
The document provides information about a seminar on sensory deprivation presented by Mrs. Parmass. The objective of the seminar was to help students gain knowledge about sensory deprivation and how to apply it in nursing practice. The seminar covered topics like the nature of sensory stimulation, normal sensory perception, factors that influence sensory deprivation, effects of sensory deprivation, signs of altered sensory perception, and the nurse's role in caring for patients experiencing sensory deprivation.
This document discusses consciousness and altered states of consciousness. It defines consciousness as awareness of oneself and one's environment. It describes stages of consciousness including controlled processes, automatic processes, daydreaming, the unconscious, unconsciousness, and altered states. Altered states can result from meditation, hypnosis, or psychoactive drugs. The document also discusses Freud's model of consciousness, defense mechanisms, sleep architecture, dreams, pain, chronic pain, psychological factors influencing pain like locus of control and catastrophizing cognitions, and the biopsychosocial model of pain.
Role of Stress in Information Processing and Decision Making, an overviewRounak Patra
Stress can negatively impact cognitive processes like learning and memory through its effects on brain structures and physiology. Chronic stress is particularly harmful. Stress activates the HPA axis causing the release of cortisol which initially provides energy but prolonged high cortisol levels can damage the brain. fMRI images show brain regions like the default mode network, dorsal attention network, and visual network display greater activity in stressed individuals compared to controls. Stress can impair memory encoding, storage and retrieval. It can bias information processing towards negative information and hamper decision making by depleting prefrontal cortex resources needed for reasoned decisions. Trauma and stressor related disorders like PTSD and adjustment disorder can develop from excessive stress. Stress is also implicated in the onset and exacerbation of
This document defines hypothesis and family hypothesis, and discusses family hypothesization. It states that a family hypothesis is a statement introducing differences in response to a specific family problem. Family hypothesization involves the therapist formulating a hypothesis based on information about the family, to establish a starting point and guide further investigation. The hypothesis must be tested and revised if proven false. Characteristics of hypothesization include it being a communication, a map to organize material, and contributing to solutions by eliminating variables. Linear hypotheses consider cause and effect between two variables, while circular hypotheses consider relationships and context. An example case is provided of a 13-year-old boy exhibiting delinquent behavior.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
