The rehabilitation approach has not become a priority for coaching so that it is difficult to change Andikpas' behavior for the better. This paper aims to describe the idea of strengthening the role of Correctional Caregivers in fostering Correctional Students at the Special Child Guidance Institution. The research method of this paper uses normative juridical with a qualitative approach.  Harmonizing  regulations in the correctional system is needed through legal rules in the form of special guidelines. In addition to increasing knowledge and understanding related to child protection, it is also necessary to strengthen the capacity of counseling techniques. Considering that counseling is one method that can help Andikpas to express various feelings, including the negative thoughts he feels.

Feeling one’s own emotions empathically when negative thoughts about the self arise, a defining element of self-reassurance, promotes resilience to prolonged emotional reactivity. We propose that feeling empathically toward the self is accomplished by first stepping into the shoes of an objectified, undesired self-aspect, after which the process of perspective shifting should be completed by reengaging the self to experience the moment in the first person. We hypothesize that the resumption of the egocentric perspective in perspective shifting, a cognitive characteristic of sharing other people’s emotions, is crucial for self-reassurance as well. The relationships among flexibility in perspective shifting, self-reassurance, and emotion sharing were examined in community participants. Our results show that quickly switching back to a visuospatial egocentric perspective after adopting an opposing perspective relates to self-reassurance and emotion sharing. We conclude that both reassuring the self and empathizing with other people involve flexibility in perspective shifting.

Background There is a lack of knowledge about the possible role of catastrophizing in lumbopelvic pain during and after pregnancy and in postpartum physical ability. Objective The aims of this study were to explore how catastrophizing fluctuates over time during and after pregnancy and to investigate the associations between catastrophizing and lumbopelvic pain and between catastrophizing and postpartum physical ability. Design A prospective questionnaire was used. Methods The Pain Catastrophizing Scale was used to assess exaggerated negative thoughts about pain experiences in weeks 19 to 21 and weeks 34 to 37 of pregnancy and at 6 months postpartum. The Disability Rating Index was used to assess physical ability at 6 months postpartum. The occurrence of lumbopelvic pain was reported by participants. Parametric and nonparametric tests were used for the analyses. Results A total of 242 of 324 women were categorized according to reported levels of catastrophizing. A majority of women (57.9%) reported not catastrophizing at all test occasions, whereas 10.3% reported catastrophizing at all occasions. For the remaining 31.8%, the levels of catastrophizing varied over time. Women who catastrophized at 1 or more of the occasions reported higher proportions of postpartum lumbopelvic pain and had more restricted postpartum physical ability than women who did not catastrophize. Limitations The fact that some women did not complete the questionnaire at all test occasions might have reduced the generalizability of the results. Conclusions The common idea that levels of catastrophizing are “stable” within personality should be reconsidered, because for 1 of 3 women, the levels of catastrophizing changed over time. A majority of women reported not catastrophizing. However, catastrophizing in relation to pregnancy seems to be associated with lumbopelvic pain and postpartum physical ability. The results indicated that the role of catastrophizing in this context should be studied further.

Our mind’s eye and the role of internal attention in mental life and suffering has intrigued scholars for centuries. Yet, experimental study of internal attention has been elusive due to our limited capacity to control the timing and content of internal stimuli. We thus developed the Simulated Thoughts Paradigm (STP) to experimentally deliver own-voice thought stimuli that simulate the content and experience of thinking and thereby experimental study of internal attentional processes. In independent experiments (N=122) integrating STP into established cognitive-experimental tasks, we found and replicated evidence that emotional reactivity to negative thoughts predicts difficulty disengaging internal attention from, as well as biased selective internal attention of, those thoughts, which predict cognitive vulnerability (e.g., negative repetitive thinking), which predicts anxiety and depression. Reported findings may have exciting implications for the study of internal attention broadly, models of internal attentional (dys)control in cognitive vulnerability and mental health more specifically.

Current models of test anxiety emphasize the mediating role of negative and disruptive internal cognitive activity. Highly test anxious students have been reported to engage in more negative thoughts and fewer positive thoughts during an actual exam. The present study examined the relationship between school related daydreams and level of test anxiety. It was hypothesized that daydream outcome and mood would be correlated with self reported test anxiety, grade point average and self reported arousal and self talk during an exam. Overall the grade point average was the measure most relevant to daydreams. Students with high grade point averages tended to have more happy and successful daydreams and fewer failure daydreams. Self talk during the exam was unrelated to daydream measures. Suggestions for further research were presented.

The article reviews the information on the problem of psychosomatic disorders (PSDs) widespread in human population. Attention is drawn to the insufficient awareness of general practitioners in this field of pathology. The true-life situations are considered that the cause development of PSDs and the role of negative thoughts and an emotional factor in their development. A general scheme of the PSD pathogenesis is suggested, which is based on the shift in the balance of the excitation and inhibition processes in CNS towards the prevalence of the former ones. Suppression of the inhibitory processes results in the decrease of the excitation thresholds of different afferent systems and in the development of general hyperesthesia that causes the organism hyperreactivity to the external and internal actions, including the subthreshold ones and stimuli. This underlies the mechanism of PSD clinical manifestations. A possible role of CNS stagnant centers of excitement in the development of PSDs and their ability to migrate in the brain, which reflects the migration of PSD symptoms in the organism, are viewed. Mental, neurologic, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urination, sexual and skin manifestations of PSDs are discussed. General approaches to treating PSD patients are considered. The fundamental importance of the mood factor in the PSD development and alleviation is substantiated.
