This chapter covers an integrative psychotherapy known as cyclical psychodynamics and features its origins, applicability, assessment, treatment, therapy relationship, case example, outcome research, and future directions. Cyclical psychodynamics is an approach to theory and therapy that centers on the repetitive interaction cycles that maintain adaptive and maladaptive patterns of living. Employing concepts and methods from psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and humanistic-experiential perspectives, the aim is to interrupt these cycles to enable the person not only to be relieved of distressing symptoms but to live more fully and richly. A key focus is on how the person unwittingly recruits “accomplices” in the maintenance of the pattern through the behaviors his actions evoke in others. Also central is attention to the ways that early attachment experiences lead some of our thoughts, wishes, and feelings to be cast into the background, rendered difficult to access consciously or to draw upon adaptively in one’s life. The therapy proceeds integratively, attending both to the expansion of subjective experience and to more adaptive daily behavior, as well as to how each promotes the other.

Chapter 12 discusses integrative psychotherapy of the anxiety disorders, and covers the integrative approach, a treatment model that attempts to provide an integrative perspective on the nature, development, and maintenance of anxiety disorders, the phases of this treatment model, assessment and case formulation, applicability and structure, processes of change and the therapy relationship, methods and techniques, a case example, empirical research, and future directions.

The cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP) is designed specifically for chronic depression and is based on Donald Kiesler’s interpersonal model, with the role of the psychotherapist being administered from a disciplined personal involvement perspective. To achieve its learning goals, CBASP has been operationalized such that the two major goals are learned in an acquisition learning manner criterion. Patients are taught throughout treatment that the lessons of CBASP are intended to be “lifelong” lessons that must be practiced daily to reduce psychopathology. This chapter reviews CBASP’s fundamental tenets, assessment, applicability, change processes, therapy relationship, and key methods. The chapter concludes with a detailed case example, outcome research, and future directions.

In this paper we present the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP), an evidence-based alternative to the categorical approach to diagnostic classification with considerable promise for integrative psychotherapy research and practice. We first review issues associated with the categorical approach that may have constrained advances in psychotherapy. We next describe how the HiTOP model addresses some of these issues. We then offer suggestions regarding potentially mutual benefits of integrating HiTOP with treatment principles from the common factors literature as well as the cognitive-behavioral and relational psychotherapy traditions. We conclude by enumerating principles for psychotherapy research and practice based on the HiTOP model, which are illustrated with a case example.

Social pain and physical pain have historically been conceptualized as distinct phenomena. Recent research, however, has noted several similarities between the two. The present chapter establishes the physiological basis of social pain. Further, the chapter explores the relational precedents and correlates of social pain. By synthesizing research that explores definitional elements of social pain, the reviewed literature explores the social basis of hurt. The chapter also reviews the extant research that posits similarities in the neural processing of social and physical pain. These similarities are further explained by examining findings that have emphasized parallels between cognitive, behavioral, and physiological responses to both social and physical pain. Shortcomings in the current research are reviewed, and several future directions are offered for researchers interested in the physiology of social pain.

Abstract One of the earliest reported cases of autologous fat grafting (AFG) was by Neuber in 1893 and consisted of the transfer of small lobules of fat from the upper arm for cicatrical depression of the face. He advocated the use of smaller grafts, noting that pieces larger than the size of a bean would form cysts. In 1895, Czerny excised a lumbar lipoma and transplanted it to the chest for breast reconstruction. Since these early reports, the knowledge base around AFG has expanded exponentially, as illustrated by the other papers within this special topic. As we embark on the next phase of AFG in the clinical setting, there are several directions which are near-clinical translation. This paper discusses future directions in fat grafting that build on optimization of our current techniques as clinical indications expand, such as supplementing purified lipoaspirate and the associated regulatory burden, or deconstructing adipose tissue to selectively use adipose graft components for a variety of regenerative indications.

The purpose of the study was to confirm a model which proposed two basic dimensions in the subjective experience of guilt, one anxious-aggressive and the other empathic, as well as another dimension associated but not intrinsic to it, namely, the associated negative emotions dimension. Participants were 360 adolescents, young adults and adults of both sexes. They were asked to relate one of the situations that most frequently caused them to experience feelings of guilt and to specify its intensity and that of 9 other emotions that they may have experienced, to a greater or lesser extent, at the same time on a 7-point scale. The proposed model was shown to adequately fit the data and to be better than other alternative nested models. This result supports the views of both Freud and Hoffman regarding the nature of guilt, contradictory only at a first glance.

The ageing population is the crucial phenomenon that has led to the new market segment in tourism known as 'senior tourists.' A senior tourist is determined as an older traveller or grey tourist. The number of elderly keeps growing throughout time; hence, grey tourists will be relevant preferences, differing from the younger tourists. This paper aims to evaluate the relevant studies regarding travel preferences that involve senior tourists. The objective is to understand the publication trend behind the development of travel preferences for senior tourists. The findings suggest that the overall travel preferences among senior tourists studied include 12 aspects of travel preferences. Researchers tend to focus on the aspect of accommodation among senior tourists compared to the other elements. At the end of the review, this paper is set out to outline the literature review analysis to provide greater insight into the development of travel preferences among grey tourists in tourism research from 2000 to 2020. This paper's output offers future directions to explore the offer trends and future direction in tourism and behaviour literature.

This study is about teacher’s roles and students’ attitudes in Freedom Writersmovie. There two objectives of this study which is to find teacher’s roles and students’ attitudes. The subject of the data are the teacher named Erin Gruwell and the students inside the classroom. The theory used in this study was the theory from Harmer (2001) that explained about teacher’s roles, and the other theory was from Brown (2007) and Wenden (1991) about the students’ attitudes. The findings revealed that teacher’ roles have effect on the attitudes of the students whether the attitude is positive or negative from three components: cognitive, behavioral, and evaluative. Finally, the writer concluded that students’ attitudes depend on the teacher’s roles.
