This final session provides a time and space for reflection—reflecting on the retreat experiences the participants have just had, their experiences with the program as a whole, and also their plans to take the practice forward. This might include how participants could seek additional support (e.g., joining a local mindfulness group) or even support each other in continued practice. In particular, time is taken to troubleshoot potential difficulties in keeping up with practice, and participants are reminded that, much like exercise, benefits will continue only with continued practice. If the optional booster session(s) will take place, time is spent scheduling and preparing for this.

This final session looks at relapse prevention. Clients begin by reviewing the important takeaways from this treatment program, such as (1) all emotions provide information that can motivate us to take action in helpful ways; (2) staying present in the moment and taking a nonjudgmental view of our emotions can help to prevent emotions from increasing in intensity; (3) the way we think about a situation influences how we feel, and how we feel affects the way we interpret a situation; and (4) although avoiding uncomfortable emotion experiences can work well in the short term, it isn’t an effective long-term coping strategy. Clients then evaluate their progress, revisit their initial treatment goals, and develop a practice plan.

This chapter describes the clinical work with individual families during the Overcoming Barriers camp program. Though the practical goal is to restore parent-child contact and relationships in a gradual progressive between rejected parents and their children, the focus of these interventions is on the individual and relationship issues within the family that entrench the resistance or refusal dynamics. The chapter addresses the goals, objectives, and specific techniques that make up the clinical work with the coparents, the favored parent and child, the rejected parent and child, and the whole family. Also described is the progression of this work from intake through the final session. The process culminates with the documentation of any agreements that have been reached and with the parents’ committing to a specific aftercare plan.

The perceptual cues used to reproduce a specific lung volume were studied in five healthy males. Performance was examined under three conditions that were designed progressively to remove the reliability of cues that a subject might use to duplicate a specific lung volume. As judged by the mean errors (disregarding the sign of the error) and constant errors (including the sign of the error), there were no significant differences in the accuracy with which subjects reproduced a standard volume, even when they were required to perform the reproductions at various inspiratory rates and starting volumes. The best performance was in the final experimental session in which the mean error for the group, all conditions combined, was 133 ml. There was a difference between conditions on the just-noticeable differences (a measure of variability including the sign of the error); subject performance was significantly more variable when the inspiratory flow rate was altered. The group mean error for the final session for just-noticeable differences was 93.3 ml. Our results indicate that a specific lung volume can be achieved using cues other than those associated with the movement made to attain that lung volume. The specific afferents that provided these cues are not known, but we propose that they uniquely signal static position.

The aim of this article is to consider questions, issues, and debates about music in public policy, a topic that featured in the final session of the Musics, Selves and Societies workshop at the University of Cambridge in June 2018. The first part of this article provides a backdrop by defining key terminology and describing the political environment in relation to music, specifically in the UK. It deciphers the scope of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) alongside public, professional, and charitable bodies as well as learned societies. The second part highlights three main areas of focus that were identified in the final session of the workshop: considerations about the value of music; considerations about the meaning of music; and considerations about policy-making. Each of these areas are discussed in turn before final remarks are put forward about steps for managing change.
