Psychotherapeutic Training

Psychotherapeutic training in Germany is about to be changed soon: master’s graduates in clinical psychology will be able to become state-licensed psychotherapists. It is therefore mandatory to teach basic psychotherapeutic skills at the universities. This article presents examples of application-oriented courses in clinical psychology, which have been tried and tested at the Philipps University of Marburg for years. During the practical exercises “Interventions in practice 1 and 2“, students gain initial experiences with psychotherapeutic techniques on personally relevant problems. In the case seminar, the students apply their acquired skills to treat an actual outpatient case, while translating basic psychological knowledge into an individualized treatment plan. The seminar “Different approaches to psychotherapy in practice“ offers the opportunity to explore 6 different patients coming from a variety of treatment settings. The courses are evaluated regularly. An overview of cumulated evaluations shows a high degree of student satisfaction with the course concepts. The described courses meet several requirements of the new licensing regulations, especially regarding job-qualifying and self-reflection. Necessary adjustments and additional requirements are discussed, and possible solutions are presented accordingly. If the licensing regulations are implemented as demanded, receiving a state license after the master’s degree seems justified.

The purpose of this study was to examine faculty and student satisfaction with classrooms in a university teaching facility in the Midwest, U.S.A. The two-story, 95,000 square foot (79,429.5 square meter) building cost 13.5 million dollars to build and was dedicated for use by the entire campus with no college or department given permanent classroom space. The facility's classrooms were designed to incorporate state-of-the-art communications technology including television monitors, DVD and video cassette recorders, overhead projectors and slide projectors, video presenters, and hook-ups for computers and CD, tape and other audio equipment. A post-occupancy evaluation (POE) survey of 125 faculty and 5,048 students using the facility indicated that the majority of faculty and students were satisfied with the classrooms (overall satisfaction: faculty, 65.3%F students 73.0%). However, problems were cited including: difficulty in using equipment, uncomfortable room temperatures and seating, and a sterile environment (all but three classrooms are windowless).

We have created an inventory to characterize the teaching practices used in science and mathematics courses. This inventory can aid instructors and departments in reflecting on their teaching. It has been tested with several hundred university instructors and courses from mathematics and four science disciplines. Most instructors complete the inventory in 10 min or less, and the results allow meaningful comparisons of the teaching used for the different courses and instructors within a department and across different departments. We also show how the inventory results can be used to gauge the extent of use of research-based teaching practices, and we illustrate this with the inventory results for five departments. These results show the high degree of discrimination provided by the inventory, as well as its effectiveness in tracking the increase in the use of research-based teaching practices.

Locked-in syndrome (LIS) is a rare diagnosis in which patients present with quadriplegia, lower cranial nerve paralysis, and mutism. It is clinically difficult to differentiate from other similarly presenting diagnoses with no standard approach for assessing such poorly responsive patients. The purpose of this case is to highlight the clinical differential diagnosis process and outcomes of a patient with LIS during acute inpatient rehabilitation. A 32-year-old female was admitted following traumatic brain injury. She presented with quadriplegia and mutism but was awake and aroused based on eye gaze communication. The rehabilitation team was able to diagnose incomplete LIS based on knowledge of neuroanatomy and clinical reasoning. Establishing this diagnosis allowed for an individualized treatment plan that focused on communication, coping, family training, and discharge planning. The patient was ultimately able to discharge home with a single caregiver, improving her quality of life. Continued evidence highlights the benefits of intensive comprehensive therapy for those with acquired brain injury such as LIS, but access is still limited for those with a seemingly poor prognosis. Access to a multidisciplinary, specialized team provides opportunity for continued assessment and individualized treatment as the patient attains more medical stability, improving long-term management.

People with disabilities may experience negative relation between their own personal potentials compared to environmental expectations and potentials of healthy peers in terms of functional participation and activity limitations. Therefore, they usually need an individualized dental treatment plan. Dentists have an important role in maintaining and improving oral health in this vulnerable group. Having in mind the United Nation's Declaration on Human Rights, patients with disabilities have human rights to achieve equal health outcomes as their healthy peers. Therefore, all preventive, prophylactic, and therapeutic interventions need to be carefully planned. In addition to precise medical history, the dentist should also have basic psychological knowledge to adjust the approach to patient's needs. Improving the oral health of patients with disabilities involves a primary, secondary, or tertiary level of oral health care, depending on patient's abilities and needs. The team work and a multidisciplinary approach, with the cooperation of experts of different profiles and specialties, is the only approach that gives satisfactory results.

Abstract Genetic sequencing of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) has revealed genomic heterogeneity, fueling an interest in individualized targeted therapies. A feasibility study, PNOC003: Molecular Profiling for Individualized Treatment Plan for DIPG (NCT02274987), was completed within the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium in which a multidisciplinary tumor board reviewed molecular and genomic profiling of each participant’s tumor to make targeted therapy recommendations. Separately, our team developed the Central Nervous System Targeted Agent Prediction (CNS-TAP) tool, which combines pre-clinical, clinical, and CNS penetration data with patient-specific genomic information to derive numeric scores for anticancer agents to objectively evaluate these therapies for use in patients with CNS tumors. We hypothesized that agents highly-scored by CNS-TAP would overlap with agents recommended by the PNOC003 tumor board. For each study participant, we retrospectively utilized the genomic profiling report to identify actionable alterations and incorporated these data into CNS-TAP to find the highest-scoring agents. We compared these CNS-TAP-recommended agents with recommendations from the tumor board for each of the 28 PNOC003 participants. Overall, 93% of patients (26/28) had at least one agent recommended by both the tumor board and CNS-TAP. Additionally, 38% of all agents (36/95) chosen by the tumor board were also selected by CNS-TAP. When only molecularly targeted anticancer agents were included in a sub-analysis, 60% of agents (34/57) were recommended by both methods. At present, we are prospectively evaluating the CNS-TAP tool within PNOC008: A Pilot Trial Testing the Clinical Benefit of Using Molecular Profiling to Determine an Individualized Treatment Plan in Children and Young Adults with High-Grade Glioma (NCT03739372). The CNS-TAP tool recommendations are shared during the PNOC008 molecular tumor board meetings once a consensus treatment recommendation has been reached. Subsequent analyses will focus on any adjustments in therapy decisions within the tumor board that result from the CNS-TAP tool output.

Adenoviral conjunctivitis is an inflammatory disease of the conjunctiva that spreads at the epidemic level, the main reason for which is explained by the fact that it is rapidly spread by airborne and domestic routes and has a high degree of contagiousness. In clinical practice, viral eye pathologies develop the background of upper and lower respiratory (especially rhinitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis) and antibiotics are often used to treat bacterial complications in this category of patients. As a result, the balance of the immunomicrobiological environment in the intestines of some patients is disturbed [1,2,7] In this contingent of patients, eye pathologies of viral etiology persist for a long time. In modern practice, an integrated approach is used to increase the effectiveness of the prevention and treatment of adenoviral conjunctivitis. In addition, complex treatment of adenoviral conjunctivitis is required that the adequate use of antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs, as well as the inclusion new group of drugs in the treatment algorithm for increasing effectiveness and eliminate symptoms of this disease [3,5]. Probiotics stimulate the body's specific (antibody and immune system) and non-specific (skin, mucous membranes and tears) immunity by restoring the normal intestinal microflora balance, resulting in activation of cellular and humoral immune processes. The use of modern probiotics during treatment period decreased the production of cytokines in the patient's body in the same time increased of endogenous interferon’s concentration in the blood [1,3,4,6]. Even during an epidemic of adinoviral conjunctivitis, the inclusion of multi-component probiotics such as Bifolak Zincum + C + D3 in the complex treatment plan is effective and safe.

Applied Fields

The critique of the 'sage on the stage' approach to university teaching is particularly relevant for applied fields such as business management where a 'guide on the side' approach can instead encourage more active participation from students. A module on People Management for second year degree students was modified to involve a greater proportion of student-centred, active learning activities relative to lectures and supported by the participatory mechanisms offered by Restorative Practice. This paper offers a reflection on how developing higher education (HE) pedagogy towards reducing reliance on lecturer defined content shifts both students and lecturers out of their comfort zone. The process of students moving towards greater responsibility seems to require points of abandonment in which a hiatus occurs between student expectation of tutor support and the realisation that self-responsibility is required. In the current context of greater measurement of student satisfaction in HE, this poses a challenge for individual academics as well as universities. Disruptive and transformational learning experiences require relational support if they are to be successful and academic staff deserve appropriate development opportunities to become more aware and familiar with the new discomfort of the HE classroom.
