Brief therapy, sometimes also referred to as short term therapy (usually 10 to 20 sessions) , is a generic label for any form of therapy in which time is an explicit element in treatment planning.
Motivational Interviewing: Engaging the Stages of Change (Lecture 8).pptxMichael Changaris
This class explores how to build motivational interviewing into case formulation, using stages of change, adapting for the impact of cultural factors on sessions, and building person-centered culturally responsive interventions.
The class explores a model for integrated treatment plan development that uses three core factors: a) Culturally Grounded Understanding of Individual, b) Theory Based Grounded Understanding of the Problem a person faces, and c) Motivation Grounded Empowerment for patient-centered care.
The presentation explores a five factor model for adapting interventions to the impact of culture on clinical work. Cultural factors affect: 1) Clinical symptoms and diagnosis, 2) Experiences of self, 3) Biological Impacts (Stress and Health), 4) Relationships, and 5) Access to Cultural Support Structures.
This lecture explores stages of change, the core hallmark of each stage of change, and how to adapt clinical interventions for those stages.
Bipolar disorder often produces many symptoms and consequences, and so often needs many types of treatment, both medication and psychotherapy. The major forms of psychotherapy studied in bipolar disorder are Psychoeducation (teaching key illness management techniques), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy, and Family-Focussed Therapy.
Each of these approaches has some value, but:
How do they differ?
How does a person choose a therapy?
What is the role of more general psychotherapy?
During this presentation, Dr. Sagar Parikh provides a clear summary about each of the major psychotherapy treatments, how they compare in terms of research studies, and how they compare in terms of style and practicality. Some tips on how to choose a therapist are also highlighted.

Internal Family Systems Part 1: An Introduction By Ms. Rukmini Iyer held on 2 Sep 2015
The Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) is an integrative approach to individual psychotherapy developed by Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D. It combines systems thinking with the view that mind is made up of relatively discrete sub personalities each with its own viewpoint and qualities. IFS use family systems theory to understand how these collections of sub personalities are organized. The speaker will introduce the IFS model in this talk and will explore various modalities of usage in subsequent talks in the series.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

2. You are an outsider
You don’t have a right to intrude and peep
You are not a savior or judge
Don’t promise to solve all the family issues
Beware of transference issues
Family is different from HOME
3. An intervention which focuses
on altering the interactions
among family members and
improve the functioning of the
family as a unit of individual
members of the family
4. Numerous phenomena gave rise to family
therapy and the systems perspective in the
1940s & 1950s
Small group dynamics
Marriage Counseling
Research on schizophrenia
The Child Guidance Movement
7. Identify family’s
unspoken rules
Disagreements about
who makes these rules
Distorted ways of
communications in the
family
Rigid intergenerational
patterns which cause
distress within or
between individuals
10. 5-10 sessions (Milan Approach) at intervals of
1 month or more
2-3 sessions when the patient is in the
hospital (preferably no more than one session
per week)
Each session of 1-3 hours duration
Duration of therapy depends on the model
used:
Problem solving models (short duration)
Growth oriented models ) (long durations - years)
13. Improved communication
Improved autonomy for each
member
Improved agreement about
roles
Reduced conflict
Reduced distress in the index

15. All families face two
types of stressors
Developmental
stressors
Environmental
stressors
Families in distress
are not sick, but have
been unable to adjust
to the stressors

18. Is often unwilling to take responsibility
Interprets problems from a linear causality
perspective, rather than a circular perspective.
Suffers a confusion of levels (children and
parents)
Forms coalitions (a parent and a child against
another parent)
Appoints children to quasi-adult roles (a child
taking on the role of one parent’s confidant)
19. Stressors -- environmental and developmental --
arise in the normal course of a family’s life.
The failure of its members to cope with and
accommodate to stressors leads members to
disengage from some members, and become
enmeshed with others
Indirectness of communication and anxiety ensues,
with triangular relationships substituting for direct
encounter and the pursuit of intimacy.
Identified client is usually reason for entering
therapy, but often only the symptom of family
distress..
20. Concept by Murray Bowen
Two-person relationship is the basic unit of any
emotional system.
Under stress the two-person system tends to
draw in a third person to stabilize ( three-person
system of two-against-one).
When anxiety builds up in any one triangle, it
spills over into other triangles, filling the whole
family system.
Problematic behavior patterns
Monica McGoldrick, Genograms. W.W.Norton, 2007
21. Families repeat themselves.
What happens in one generation will often
repeat itself in the next, though the actual
behavior may take a variety of forms.
Monica McGoldrick, Genograms. W.W.Norton, 2007
22. Families have rules
that determine how
balance is reinstated.
If something violates
the rules, then one of
two things happen:
Members reassert the
rules.
The family changes the
rules.
23. Families have values
that assign meaning
to various events. It
is important to
understand those
values in working
with families.
Values are a function
of family and
cultural origins.
24. Families have ways of describing people and
situations that reflect their values and rules.
It is important to understand the way the
family uses language, in order to effectively
reframe people and situations whenever a
more positive viewpoint is possible.
Reframing is using language to describe a
person or a situation in a more positive way.
26. Murray Bowen
The family is an emotional system
composed of many generations, whether
living or dead.
The goal of therapy is the differentiation of
self from one’s family-of-origin.
Individuals who are not differentiated form
unstable relationships and are prone to
triangulation.
27. The goal of therapy is differentiation.
Focus on family and relationship patterns
rather than specific issues.
Look for signs of emotional cut-off and
triangles. The stance of the therapist is that
of observer.
Therapists must be highly differentiated to
avoid the emotionality of the family system.
Genograms help clients map
multigenerational processes.
28. Salvador Minuchin
General systems approach to family therapy
Focused on the balance between stability &
change, openness & closedness.
Its efficacy has been demonstrated with a
wide variety of family configurations.
29. Observations made of
the communication
styles in schizophrenic
families.
Double bind
Marital schism
Marital skew
Pseudomutual and
pseudohostile
communication
30. A view that when an individual receives an
important message with two different
meanings and is unable to respond to it, the
individual is in an impossible situation.
If such messages are repeated over time,
individuals may begin to show signs of
schizophrenia.
31. A situation in which one parent tries to
undermine the worth of another (parent) by
competing for sympathy or support from the
children.
32. A situation in which the psychological
disturbance of one parent dominates the
family’s interactions.
An unreal situation for family members is
created so that the family can deal with one
member’s disturbance.
33. Presenting an appearance of open
relationships in a family so as to conceal
distant or troubled relationships within the
family.
Members develop roles that they play rather
than relating honestly.
34. A system represents a set of units that stand
in some consistent relationship to one
another.
A system is organized around relationships.
Elements (units) interact with each other in a
predictable, “organized” fashion.
Units, once combined form an entity - a
whole, greater than the sum of its parts.
Therefore, no element can be understood in
isolation.
35. The organization of relationships may include
groups, alliances, coalitions, and tensions.
The organization gives clues to the system’s
consistent or repetitive interactive
patterns…know as rules.
36. Family rules:
Family interactions follow certain persistent
patterns – rules (Jackson, 1965)
Redundancy principle – a family interacts in
repetitive behavioral sequences.
Rules may be
▪ Descriptive - metaphors describing patterns of
interaction.
▪ Prescriptive – directing what can or cannot occur
between members.
37. How changes in one
family member can
bring about changes
in another, by looking
at the entire family
as a unit.
38. Feedback: the reinsertion into a system of the
results of its past performance, as a method of
controlling the system.
Negative feedback: Information that flows
back to a system to reduce behavior that
causes disequilibrium.
Positive feedback: Information that leads to
deviation from the system’s norm, bringing
about change and a loss of stability.
39. Equifinality: the ability of a system to arrive at
the same destination from different paths.
Homeostasis: A dynamic state of balance or
equilibrium in a system, or a tendency toward
achieving and maintaining such a state in an
effort to ensure a stable environment.
40.
41. Assessment of the family structure
Summarizing family structure – GENOGRAM
(Murray Bowen)
Current and past state of family life
Roles of the members
Therapist tries to answer two questions:
How the family functions
Whether family factors are involved in client’s
problems
42. 1) Inviting entire family to session
2) Joining and building a collaborative
relationship
3) Assessing problem from multiple
perspectives
4) Assessing family rules, values, language
patterns, and goals (teleological lens)
5) Assessing cultural issues (multicultural lens),
and family of origin for patterns across the
generations (developmental lens) genogram
43. 6) Observing, or tracking interactional patterns --
asking process questions (Bowen)
educates the family about circular causality
I-position encourages taking responsibility and
ending of blame
7) Observing and encouraging typical dynamics --
enactments (Minuchin). Therapist may use
Reframing, poking, “stroke and a kick”
Assigning tasks
▪ boundary adjustments
▪ eliciting and supporting competencies
44. One person is asked to
comment on the
relationships of
others.
Others are asked to
comment on her
response
Purpose is to discover
and clarify confusing
and conflicting views
45. Designed to provoke the family into making
changes which they cannot make in other
ways
Paradoxical injunctions are impossible or
counter intuitive suggestions which force
the family to confront their hidden or
unacceptable motives
46. Structure (genogram) (single parent, step
parent, size and age of spread of he sibship)
Relationships (close, distant, uncooperative,
conflictual)
Patterns of interactions (child siding with one
parent against the other)
Changes and events (births, deaths,
departures, financial problems
47.
48.
49.
50.
51.
52. Contribute to patient’s problems (son does
not want to leave widowed mother after
marriage)
Supporting the client (codependence)
Reacting to the client’s problems (unrelated
other problems may be there)
54. Supporting parents (hierarchies)
Insulating parents from their own families of
origins
Insulating parents from children
Establishing direct communication or “De-triangulating”
Nurturing competencies through reframing
symptoms as strengths and assigning tasks
Redefining relationships one-to-one with
family of origin
56. Unwillingness of adult child to assert boundaries
Unwillingness of son/daughter in-law to confront
parent directly
Can lead to carryover of anger of adult child to
spouse
Establish better boundaries and privacy between
couple and parent
Confront in-law by adult child
Establish direct relationship between son/daughter
in-law and parent in-law (de-triangulation)
57. Usually one parent is disengaged from the
family
The other parent is usually over-involved in the
“problem” child’s life.
There is a lack of intimacy between couple due
to preoccupation with child.
There is often a neglect of other children’s
needs
58. Get couple to work together to resolve
differences, clarify rules, and express
expectations
Reframe teenager’s behavior if possible
Encourage direct communication between
teenager and disengaged parent(s) without
interference
59. Usually occurs during major developmental or
environmental stressors, which disrupt
communication and intimacy between spouses
Can be due to lifelong suppression of one’s needs in
the context of a marital relationship
Can be due to lack of intimacy due to family
pressures
60. Establish that it takes two for an affair to happen.
Need to communicate unspoken needs
perhaps too much difference or
“complementarity”
perhaps not enough “similarity,” and quality time
explore unexpressed dreams
61. Focus on process (how) rather than content
(what)
Focus on interpersonal dynamics, rather than
personal feelings and thoughts
Focus on here and now, vs. there and then
62. Teach Circular Causality/Reciprocity
Ask “process questions” that encourage
linking one’s own behavior to the effects on
others, example: “What effect does it have on
her when you withdraw and watch TV?” or
“Have you tried to talk with him about it rather
than giving him the silent treatment?”
Encouraging I-position, not talking about
others
Explore cross-generational patterns
63. De-triangulating
▪ Getting people to talk directly without
interruptions
▪ Role playing direct communication
▪ Having everyone present for meeting
Acknowledging competencies and putting them
to work
Reframing -- “Stroke and Kick” -- Reframe and
redirect
Genograms for cross-generational patterns
64.
65. When FMs can complete transactions
When FMs can interpret hostility
When FMs can see how others see them
When FMs can see how they see themselves
When one member can tell others what is
hoped, feared and expected from them or how
they manifest themselves
When FMs can disagree
When FMs can make choices
When FMs can learn through practice
When FMs can free themselves from harmful
effects of past models
When FMs can give clear message
