A 37-year-old female with a history of complex trauma, anxiety and depression was treated with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) supplemented with guided imagery within the first 24 hours of having a stroke that affected the right side. CT scans indicated a haemorrhage and brain clot. Surgery was delayed as another seizure was expected. Interventions occurred during COVID-19 restrictions. The patient then engaged in 90 minutes of EFT every day over the course of a week while in hospital. After seven days she was discharged, and there were significant reductions in depression, anxiety and pain, and mobility returned. Upon discharge the patient had evident improvement in balance and coordination and successfully completed a driving test within the weeks that followed. Subsequent CT scans reveal very little scaring or evidence of the stroke, blood pressure remained stable, and no medication was warranted. This case study presents the practitioner’s perspective of the sessions provided.

Anterograde amnesia is the inability to acquire and retain new information. Amnesia has an incidence of 5 per 1,00,000 population per year. It usually effects patients between the age of 40 and 60 years, at an average age of 61 years. The disease anterograde amnesia and smriti Vibhrams are similar in their etiology, sign and symptoms. Smriti Vibhrams refers to a state characterized by deviation from normalcy this means either reduced memory or selective memory. In this case a 36-year-old male having chief complained is unable to retain knowledge, poor concentration and disremembering. Neurological exam and psychological test have been done for the proper diagnosis. With the help of this we diagnosed Anterograde amnesia vis-à-vis Smriti Vibhrams. Treatment includes Sadhyovamana, Classical Virechana, Pratimarsha nasya and oral medications. The treatment was found to be good in Anterograde amnesia. Patient got 40-50% relief. This was a single case study, and a single case study may not be sufficient enough to prove significance of any treatment, but it gives an idea for the line of treatment to be adopted in such cases.

A recent cognitive model of social phobia which pays particular attention to the maintenance of the disorder is outlined. Within this model self-focused attention, safety behaviors, and selective retrieval strategies interact to prevent social phobics from disconfirming their negative beliefs about the way they appear to others. The model suggests specific clinical interventions which target each of the maintaining factors and which also address key interpersonal assumptions particular to this disorder. The successful 12-session cognitive application of this model to a 30-year-old woman with a 13-year history of the problem is described.

The Way

There are particular complexities faced by people attempting to tell their stories in the context of social stigma, such as the hostility which often surrounds injecting drug use. In this article, we identify some of the distinct advantages of taking a narrative approach to understanding these complexities by exploring a single case study, across two life-history interviews, with “Jimmy,” a young man with a history of social disadvantage, incarceration, and heroin dependence. Drawing on Miranda Fricker’s notion of “hermeneutical injustice,” we consider the effects of stigmatization on the sociocultural practice of storytelling. We note the way Jimmy appears both constrained and released by his story—how he conforms to but also resists the master narrative of the “drug user.” Narrative analysis, we conclude, honors the complex challenges of the accounting work evident in interviews such as Jimmy’s, providing a valuable counterpoint to other forms of qualitative inquiry in the addictions field.

Background: Mental contamination is a phenomenon whereby people experience feelings of contamination from a non-physical contaminant. Rachman (2006) proposes that standard cognitive behavioural treatments (CBT) need to be adapted here and there is a developing empirical grounding supporting the concept, although suggestions on adapting treatment have yet to be tested. Method: A single case study is presented of a man with a 20-year history of severe treatment resistant Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) characterized by mental contamination following the experience of “betrayal”. He was offered two consecutive treatments: standard CBT and then (following disengagement with this) a cognitive therapy variant adapted for mental contamination. Clinician and patient rated OCD severity was measured at baseline and the start and end of both interventions. Results: Six sessions of high quality CBT were initially attended before refusal to engage with further sessions. There were no changes in OCD severity ratings across these sessions. A second course of cognitive therapy adapted for mental contamination was then offered and all 14 sessions and follow-ups were attended. OCD severity fell from the severe to non-clinical range across these sessions. Conclusions: The need to consider adapting standard treatments for mental contamination is suggested. Limitations and implications are discussed.

Parikartika is one of the ano-rectal diseases. Its references are available in bruhatrayees not as an inde-pendent disease but as an Iatrogenic. The word Parikartika means Parikartanavath Vedana around Guda Pradesha. In modern it can be correlated to fissure-in-ano. Fissure-in-ano has features like severe pain and burning sensation during and after defaecation, constipation, stools streaked with blood is a challenge to treat due to its nature of recurrence. The condition demands innovative techniques for its management. Many techniques are tried in its management, each by no means better than the other. Ayurvedic treatment is beneficial in such cases which includes conservative management like deepana, pachana, vatanulomana and basti karma and local application of madhura-sheetha-snighdha dravyas, Taila poorana, Lepa and Pichu dharana. A case study of patient having features of Parikartika was selected from OPD of SJIIM Bengaluru and Yashadamrita Malahara pichu was done for 7 days. Assessment was done on Pain, per rec-tal bleeding, hardstools, sphincter tone and burning sensation. Significant improvement was observed at the end of treatment.
