The Relationship

Easson noted in 1967 how little had been published on intimate (frequently sexual) involvements between adolescents in in-patient settings and remarked how staff attitudes and countertransference feelings frequently resulted in an unsatisfactory resolution of such occurrences. Since that time the literature has remained sparse, yet the phenomenon and the problem of how best to deal with it persists. The present case study of two female in-patients “in love” attempts to demonstrate the usefulness of a simple and presumably infrequently used mode of intervention in promoting therapeutic growth and facilitating ward management. Rather than attempting to separate the two patients and deal with issues of their relationship individually, the existence of the relationship was acknowledged and accepted, and conjoint meetings which explored its troublesome aspects were held with them and their respective therapists. Provocative behaviour on the ward diminished, some insights were gained and their separation due to the discharge of one of them was effected with minimum turmoil. While certain factors specific to the case may have contributed to the outcome, the success of the intervention, nonetheless, warrants further application and study in the clinical arena.

The argument and objective of the present case study is to prove, through the scientific method of analysis, that the online news medium Azerbaijani Vision (en.azvision.az), applying history falsification (negationism and revisionism) referring to the 1915 Armenian Genocide in general, and to the historic figures on the number of Ottoman Armenian population before and after the Genocide in particular, leverages technology to produce and disseminate false and fabricated figures about the mentioned data of Armenian population within the frames of its anti-Armenian propaganda. My assumption will be that the false model of history serves its function for a certain while because societies eventually enter a period when distorted representations stop serving the intended ends and impartial and unbiased research starts seeking the truth.

Narrative Family Therapy

Children who experience enuresis and encopresis can face many difficulties, including social isolation, shame, embarrassment, anxiety, and depression. Due to the prevalence of enuresis and encopresis, it is essential for mental health professionals to understand the common symptoms and available treatment options for enuresis and encopresis, particularly to assist parents struggling to help their children overcome these challenges. Despite this need, there is very little clinical literature that incorporates a systemic approach for families who have a child diagnosed with enuresis and encopresis. Furthermore, common treatment approaches may unwittingly reinforce children’s perception that these problems are rooted in their identity. In an effort to address these concerns, the present case study aims to illustrate how a narrative therapy approach was utilized to effectively treat a child with enuresis and encopresis. Narrative therapy can uniquely assist children and their parents by helping them externalize the problem, overcome the problem-saturated view of their lives, and create new experiences where the problem is nonexistent.

Present Case Study

Irony is a broad concept with many cultural and artistic manifestations of criticism, sarcasm, humor, parody, and even tragedy. It can represent various intellectual and emotional states, such as criticism, self-criticism, curiosity, entertainment, disappointment, anger, boasting, etc. The tone, intensity and frequency of sound are sufficient to convey irony in speech. However, in writing authors use a number of linguistic and stylistic means to be able to convey irony to the reader. This also refers to fanfic (fan fiction) – a work of art/fiction written by book fans, TV series, films, etc. – which is based on an original creation and uses irony widely. The language we perceive when reading fan fiction influences our language and our own production of speech. Hence, the present case study aims at revealing ways and means as well as reasons of expressing irony in fan fiction – a discourse variety that has attracted great interest in the modern world especially among the younger generation.

Physical Sensation

Globus hystericus, also known as globus pharyngeus or globus sensation, is characterized by the physical sensation of a mass in one’s throat. Globus sensation is more common in adults and reported more rarely in children. Adult patients with globus sensation score higher on neuroticism, introversion, anxiety, and depression. However, not all patients with globus sensation have psychiatric abnormalities. Thus, it is important to share an atypical presentation in children and highlight the necessity of ruling out other organic causes. The present case study elucidates the process of ruling out medical etiologies of globus sensation in a young girl with anxiety and food aversion. We provide a review discussion of the differential diagnoses, both medical and psychiatric, of globus sensation in the pediatric population reported in past literature. The case study and review of pediatric globus sensation shows that the symptom can be associated with a wide array of psychological and medical diagnoses. The medical differential diagnoses of globus sensation include the gastroenteric system, laryngeal system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system. We encourage critical analysis of other potential diagnoses, given each patient’s unique history and physical presentation.
