Social Suppression

AbstractThis study focussed on the social suppression of caching in 3 groups of western scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica). Each group (3 males and 4 females) were housed in a separate aviary. Only the dominant male and/or his partner cached in each aviary. When the alpha pair was removed from the aviary, however, caching by the beta pair increased significantly. As all subordinate birds cache when housed individually, cache cessation was attributed to social suppression. In each aviary, storers from both the alpha and beta pairs tolerated their partners recovering their caches, but treated all other birds aggressively if they approached a cache site. The storer and their partner tended to move one another's caches around multiple times, possibly making the final location of caches ambiguous. Importantly, caches were only moved around repeatedly on trials where multiple pilfering attempts were made. Western scrub-jays therefore appear to adjust their caching behaviour depending on the risk that observers pose to their caches.

Relational Configurations

A clinical case of a couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy is presented in order to highlight the difficulties and the sense of suffering present in ‘old-style marriages’ that have tried to take up the challenge of modernity. In fact, as the holding structure of the strength of blood ties and institutionally formalised bonds carries less weight, a greater fragility in the capacity for partners to have a relationship seems to emerge. The authors enquire how, in the modern couple, intrapsychic aspects might interact with the social pressures that face new relational configurations.

ABSTRACT The suppression of ovulation in subordinate female marmosets was associated with suppressed pituitary LH secretion and reduced pituitary LH response to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH). In subordinate females, basal plasma LH concentrations were commonly below 2 IU/1 (n = 5) (maximum 10·7 IU/1). Plasma oestrogen concentrations were similarly low (maximum 0·62 nmol/l) and plasma progesterone concentrations of below 30 nmol/l confirmed the anovulatory condition. This infertility condition was rapidly reversed when subordinate females (n = 5) were removed from their social groups and housed singly, when plasma LH (maximum 140·0 IU/1) and oestrogen (maximum 7·84 nmol/l) concentrations increased preceding ovulation. Infertility was rapidly reimposed when these singly housed females were re-introduced to subordinate status in new social groups, when plasma LH concentrations fell to their previous low values within 4 days; no ovulation occurred thereafter. Plasma oestrogen levels also fell, but less dramatically. The luteal phases of three of the subordinate females were shortened following the re-instatement of subordinate status. The maximum LH response of subordinate females to the highest dose of GnRH (200 ng) was only 19·1±6·7 IU/1 (mean ± s.e.m.; n=8): this contrasted with that in dominant females in either the follicular phase (40·0±13·3 IU/1; n=6) or the luteal phase (126·7±24·9 IU/1; n=10) of the ovarian cycle. These results suggest that the social suppression of fertility in subordinate female marmosets is mediated by impaired hypothalamic GnRH secretion. Such an immediate and precise behavioural control of LH secretion and ovulation is without equal in anthropoid primates. J. Endocr. (1988) 117, 329–339

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a condition that negatively affect the social reintegration and restoration of adaptation mechanisms in war veterans is. The negative impact of TBI on veterans` quality of life, their social and family functioning, labor adaptation, reintegration into society can last for years. There is a need to study the factors that contribute to the successful rehabilitation of veterans with TBI and increase their effective interaction with the stressful environment, reduce the severity of symptoms. Resilience may be among these factors. The aim of this review was: (1) to systematize the information available in the scientific literature on resilience of war veterans with TBI and to outline promising areas for further research; (2) to analyze the clinical case of TBI with reduced resilience in a veteran of warfare in the area of ​​anti-terrorist operation/operation of united forces. Effective resilience in war veterans is associated with a milder TBI symptoms, fewer symptoms of PTSD, which confirms its important role in medical and psychological rehabilitation. However, the dynamic aspects of resilience as a process are currently insufficiently disclosed in the scientific literature concerning veterans of the trauma war. There is no single interpretation and approach to its psychometric study. The social components of veterans` resilience are well studied, but little attention is paid to cognitive and emotional components of resilience, despite a known decrease in the cognitive and emotional functioning of veterans after TBI. There is a need to develop resilience-oriented interventions specific to veterans. The presented clinical case complements the information available in the literature on the association of resilience with symptoms of TBI, and confirms the important role of resilience assessment in making a rehabilitation prognosis. Complementing trauma rehabilitation programs with short-term positive interventions and cognitive rehabilitation sessions can have a positive effect on trauma symptoms and resilience, probably through its cognitive and emotional components.

Abstract Social media is an increasingly popular forum for medical education. Many educators, including those in infectious diseases, are now creating and sharing unique and educational patient cases online. Unfortunately, some educators unknowingly threaten patient privacy and open themselves to legal liability. Further, the use of published figures or tables creates risk of copyright infringement. As more and more infectious diseases physicians engage in social media, it is imperative to create best practices to protect both patients and physicians. This summary will define the legal requirements of patient de-identification as well as other practical recommendations as they relate to use of clinical case information, patient images, and attribution of primary references on social media.

Abstract From a perspective of common factors implicit criteria used by psychotherapists are explored at the moment of making clinical formulations. It is intended to show the relevance of these criteria for psychotherapeutic practice. The aim of this study was to identify and describe implicit criteria in the clinical formulation process. Methodology: qualitative approach; grounded theory. Participants: 9 psychotherapists with different levels of experience and theoretical approaches that worked with different populations. Procedure: open interviews, in depth transcription and elaboration of results with support of computer software Atlas.ti (5.0). Results: When formulating a clinical case psychotherapists use, together with their theoretical frameworks, a series of implicit criteria (personal identity, adjustment to the medium and intelligibility of the action) inherent to the psychotherapeutic process, originated in interpersonal aspects and organized in reasoning schemes. Conclusion: a novel perspective is proposed for the investigation of the psychotherapeutic process highlighting the social framework that underlies clinical practice.
