Steps in conducting EFT
Sentence completion tests are a class of semi-structured projective techniques.
Sentence completion tests typically provide respondents with beginnings of sentences, referred to as "stems", and respondents then complete the sentences in ways that are meaningful to them.
The responses are believed to provide indications of
Attitudes,
Beliefs,
Motivations, or other
Mental states.
Therefore, sentence completion technique, with such advantage, promotes the respondents to disclose their concealed feelings.
There is debate over whether or not sentence completion tests elicit responses from conscious thought rather than unconscious states.
This debate would affect its categorizing as projective tests

There is certainly certain amount of subjectivity in WAT assessment and it is not yet amenable for computerisation which is the norm today. This test is used as confirmation of findings in TAT being conducted just before this test
The need for a new WAT is felt, owing to the great amount of subjectivity in the interpretation and scoring of the test.
The new WAT which is one word to three word response aims to bring about greater objectivity in the assessment of affect, and also aims to minimise the element of subjectivity in the interpretation.

Systems Theory Terminology – Part 1
The core of the MFT field lies in systems theory. Therefore, it is imperative that you fully grasp this major concept and the crucial elements that comprise it.
Launch in a separate window
It is important to take your time with this week’s assignment as well as those for Weeks 3 and 4. This approach will help you begin to think in a systemic way—an approach that emphasizes the nature of people being intertwined within their existence with the multiple contexts they live in.
This week’s resources introduce you to systems theory, which inspired the pioneers in the MFT field and contributed to the development of a relational understanding of human interactions. You will be asked to review resources and prepare a written summary and reflection that focus on your understanding of systems theory concepts and assumptions.
Launch in a separate window
Review the resources listed below (and previously provided resources, as needed) to prepare for this week’s assignments. The resources may include textbook reading assignments, journal articles, websites, links to tools or software, videos, handouts, rubrics, etc.

A system concepts
A system refers to any group of interconnected parts for examples, include families, group of people who work together, whole communities, companies, and government, organizations. The human body can even consider a system because it includes many different parts that are all interconnected. The behavior each part is affected by and has been impact on the other part.
The found of MFT philosophy theory
1 Narrative therapy is founded on systems and social constructionism narrative therapy holds that people develop narratives/ stories to make sense of their lives, these narratives are influenced by culture and family, to move beyond the problem, clients need a new story, the narrative therapist meets the client as separate from the problem, and help the client understand that they are not the problem.

Statement and Focus of Observation
I approached this exercise as a student of psychology with the purpose of learning to focus my observational skills upon a specific and particular aspect of how people present themselves in this type of situation. Making the decision to seek professional help is not an easy choice for most, as the stigma attached to the perception of having a psychological issue of any sort permeates throughout the fibers of most modernized societies. Non-verbal communication is a specific subject that fascinates me as a future psychologist because latent communication reveals more of the unconscious meanings, feelings and desires individuals may not express verbally (Hertenstein, et al., 2006). The very first thought that crossed my mind when the couple came into view in the video piece (Laureate Education, Producer, 2012b) was the body language of both male and female participants. To my mind, being able to cue in and observe someone’s body language as they speak provides more useful communication than inflection, tone or use of words while talking. The couple appearing in the video well dressed, she has her nails and hair beautifully done, wearing heals to match her dark clothing, whilst he is wearing a dress shirt, tie and trousers, also appearing professional. She is more talkative, expressing her desire to keep her own name, whereas he voices his traditional opinion that a woman should take her husband’s name in marriage in order to ‘prove’ her full commitment to him.
By observing the couple’s haptics, oculescics, postures, gestures and facial expressions during the session with the therapist, my attention was drawn to how closed up and defensive the male appears. He barely looks at the female while she expresses her opinions about the rift over his rather traditionalist views of marriage freely, while he chooses to interject only when prompted by the therapist or his girlfriend. What strikes me most is how far apart they sit, not touching each other, very little eye contact; he clasps his hands in his lap, as she gesticulates more frequently to convey her emotions as both question their commitment to each other, albeit for different reasons. As he begins to question her commitment on a broader basis, his countenance conveys resentment as she becomes more defensive and argumentative by using diction to clarify and cement her position on why a woman’s commitment to a man should be balanced and equal in expectation. Additionally, she is more animated in her responses, defending her position more vigorously. Questions from the therapist directed at the man prompt the female to enunciate, evaluate and question her readiness to enter a marriage with this man because for fear of loosing her identity. Since they made the choice to seek professional help, follow-u.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Patterns in Successful and Unsuccessful Relationships
• More negativity than positivity
• Harsh start-up that results in demand-withdraw or
pursue-distance pattern.
• “Check in” to negative affect easily – but don’t check
out.
• Importance of repairs – gentle beginning to the
conversation, taking responsibility for part of the
problem.
• Turning towards – acknowledging bids.

10. Common Factors
Emotionally focused therapy
“New cycles of bonding interactions occur and
replace negative cycles such as pursue-
withdraw or criticize-defend.” -
Sue Johnson
• Watch the video in which Sue Johnson explains
EFT.
• You will go into break groups to answer the
following:
– How do the tenets/goals of EFT fit with what we have
learned about the therapeutic alliance, emotional
regulation, and neuroscience?
11. Common Factors
• “EFT is like a conversation between Carl Rogers, the
founder of humanistic-experiential therapies, Salvador
Minuchin, father of systemic therapies, and including
John Bowlby, who really founded the whole science of
attachment and bonding.”
- Sue Johnson
Theoretical base
12. Common Factors
Tenets of attachment theory
1. Attachment is an innate motivating force (wired to
connect).
2. Effective dependence (not independence or
overdependance).
3. Attachment offers a safe haven (buffer against
adversity).
4. Attachment offers a secure base (allows exploration,
openness).
5. Emotional accessibility and responsiveness builds
bonds.
13. Common Factors
6. Fear and uncertainty activate attachment needs
7. The process of separation distress is predictable.
8. There are a finite number of insecure attachment styles.
9. Attachment involves working models of self and others.
10. Isolation and loss are traumatizing.
(Johnson, 2015)
Tenets of attachment theory
14. Common Factors
Primary and secondary emotions
Primary emotions:
Stem from attachment fear and needs, softer/more
vulnerable
Secondary emotions:
Surface emotions which are part of the cycle of distress
15. Core Emotions
Six core emotions (facial expressions) & actions
(Sue thinks there are 6 even though other
literature says 8)
Anger - - - - - - - - - - - assert, defend self
Sadness - - - - - -seek support, withdraw
Surprise / Excitement - -attend, explore
Disgust / Shame - - - - hide, expel, avoid
Fear - - - - - - - - - - - - freeze, give up
Joy - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -contact, engage
16. Common Factors
Experiential influences
• Therapeutic alliance is collaborative and egalitarian
• Validation, empathy, authenticity and transparency are
key elements in therapist
• People have capacity to grow (make changes)
• Inner and outer experiences interact and define each
other
(Johnson, 2015)
17. Common Factors
Systemic influences
• Consider behaviour in context
• Repeating cycles of interaction – e.g. closeness &
distance
• Rigid negative interactional cycles
• Focus on circular, rather than linear causality
• All behaviour communicates something
(Johnson, 2015)
18. Common Factors
Principles of EFT
• Collaborative relationship offers a secure base
• Emotion organises attachment behaviours
• Attachment needs of partner are healthy – the way they
are enacted is the problem.
• Problems are maintained through interactional cycles
(see vulnerability cycle)
• Change occurs through new emotional experiences
• Client is relationship
(Johnson, 2015)
19. Common Factors
Goals in EFT
1. Create a safe, collaborative alliance
2. Facilitate expression and restructuring of emotions
3. Restructure interaction patterns so partners are more
responsive
(Johnson, 2015)
20. Common Factors
Process of change in EFT
1. Cycle de-escalation
2. Changing interactional patterns
3. Consolidation and integration
21. Common Factors
Process of change in EFT
Three major shifts are usually seen in the process of
change.
• Negative cycle de-escalation
• Withdrawer engagement
• Blamer softening
22. Common Factors
Techniques in EFT
• Reflections
• Evocative reflections and questions
• Validation
• Heightening
• Empathic conjectures
• Softening
• Enactment
• Reframing

following questions :
1. What was the couple’s interactional pattern/cycle?
2. What are the vulnerabilities for each partner? What are the protective strategies
for each partner?
3. Which techniques is Sue using in this session?
4. How do the partners/couple respond to the interventions?
5. What are some signs of alliance building between Sue and the couple?
6. Describe contextual factors that may be contributing to each partner’s affect,
attachment style and relationship.
7. Describe whether Sue Johnson uses any form of “broaching.”
8. What are some of the strengths and limitations of EFT?

Identify/hypothesize about:
• The emotional presentation of each person in the
couple
– Surface
– Vulnerable/attachment-oriented
• The attachment need of each person in the couple
• Nature of the negative, repetitive pattern or cycle
