The Way

Training in psychiatry involves a fascinating and rewarding journey, and is a wonderful career for women. This chapter explores what it means to be a female psychiatric trainee. The authors discuss the recruitment crisis within psychiatry and the way that stigma and financial pressures upon the NHS compound this. They discuss their own experiences as medical students interested in psychiatry, particularly with regard to overcoming prejudices within the wider medical profession. There are certain challenges that are particular to training in psychiatry that women trainees face, including everyday sexism and how it impacts on self-esteem, as well as exposure to violence and stalking, and the effect of social media on medical practice. The authors discuss their own experiences in facing these challenges, what more could be done to support trainees, and they consider the importance of self-care and the way in which training as a psychiatrist can give trainees particular skills of self-reflection and insights into group dynamics that can be invaluable in developing as medical leaders.

Domestic violence shelters can provide services that are key to ending intimate partner violence. Yet, little is known about the process through which a stay in shelter increases women's ability to move toward the lives they want. The construct of empowerment has been used to gauge the effectiveness of intimate partner violence interventions and has been linked to a variety of positive outcomes. The present qualitative study analyzed nine in-depth interviews with women in domestic violence shelters to explore processes that occurred within the shelter stay that enhanced their sense of empowerment. A narrative methodology that situates personal stories within the broader social context was used. Four interrelated empowerment storylines were identified and involved self-reflection, gaining clarity, acquiring knowledge, and building community. Implications of these processes for shelter services are discussed.

This paper discusses the experience of psychodynamically oriented therapists in private practice as they contemplate raising their fees. Raising fees stirs up competing self-interest, transference-countertransference reverberations, financial fantasies and realities, ethical concerns, and uncomfortable as well as satisfied self-reflection. These dynamics are discussed under the following categories: exercise of power; incurring guilt; inappropriate entitlement; fear of loss; modeling of self-care; rapaciousness; unconscious factors; and self-esteem. A cautionary case example is provided. Six suggestions are offered to make therapists' contemplation of raising fees less stressful. The author hopes that this article will foster more open discussions among therapists about the tensions involved in raising fees and, in the process, lead to an enhanced understanding, acceptance, and detoxification of the feelings involved.

John, Jory and Pete Oswald. The Good Egg. HarperCollins Children’s Books, 2019. This imaginative picture book by bestselling creators Jory John and Pete Oswald uses beautiful illustrations and humour to tackle social and emotional skills. The Good Egg is the counterpart to the duo’s book The Bad Seed. As the title suggests, the main character of this book is a good egg, “A verrrrrry good egg.” The beginning of the book shows how the good egg stands apart from the rest of the rowdy dozen in his carton by trying to do good deeds—he’s rescuing a cat when we first meet him. But as the story progresses, we see that the good egg is trying so hard to be good, while everyone around him is rotten, that he reaches a breaking point. The good egg literally begins to crack from all of the self-imposed pressure. Deciding that it is in his best interest to leave the carton, the good egg embarks on a journey of self-care, and self-reflection. On his journey, the good egg finds peace by taking walks, reading, writing in his journal, and just breathing. Eventually, the good egg starts to feel like himself again. At the same time, he realizes that he is lonely without his friends. He learns that even though the other eggs aren’t perfect, he doesn’t have to be either. The good egg decides that it is much better to be with those you love than to be alone, so he returns to his carton. The detailed and expressive illustrations by Oswald bring the characters in The Good Egg to life, making them relatable to kids. The story flows nicely with just the right amount of words, making it a good read-aloud, and useful for class and family discussions on topics like perfectionism, self-care, and accepting yourself and others as they are. It is one of those picture books that gives kids an opportunity to put themselves in someone else’s shoes and to empathize. Overall, The Good Egg reminds us of the importance of balance and self-care, and accepting those we love, even if they are a bit rotten sometimes. Highly recommended: 4 stars out of 4Reviewer: Tara GordonTara Gordon is a University of Alberta SLIS student with a lifelong passion for children’s books.
