Unavoidable Stress

The article undertakes the topic of psychological diagnosis in a situation of joint custody from the forensic psychologist’s perspective. The authors underline the necessity of deep psychological analysis of the issue in order to answer the question of how separating parents can create the best possible conditions of care for their child and how to minimize the stress inevitably accompanying all family members in such a situation. Parenting model in which both parents are similarly engaged in upbringing process and the child lives at both parents’ places is discussed. The authors summarize benefits and disadvantages of parenting with the so-called ‘leading parent’ and joint custody trying to show the importance of organization of the parenting that first of all minimizes the unavoidable stress of the child in the situation of separation and protects existing bonds. It was proposed that the process of psychological diagnosis for legal purposes should not focus on which parent has higher level of ‘parental competence’, but should consider which specific situation may be the most beneficial for the child, bearing in mind the priority given to fostering attachment. This implies the need to change parents’, lawyers’ and psychologists’ way of thinking. For forensic psychologists, the proposed perspective may even require a reorganization of diagnostic process.

Young Onset Dementia

People living with young onset dementia face significant barriers to diagnosis, resulting in delays, misdiagnoses, and treatment gaps. We examined the process of accessing and delivering a diagnosis of young onset dementia using the candidacy framework as a conceptual lens. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six people living with dementia, 14 family members, and 16 providers in a western Canadian city. Participants’ accounts revealed the diagnosis of young onset dementia as a negotiated process involving patients, family members, and health professionals. Assumptions about age and dementia affected how participants interpreted their symptoms, how they presented to services, and how they, in turn, were perceived by providers. At the organizational level, age-restrictions, fragmentation, and unclear referral pathways further complicated the diagnostic process. Our findings lend support to the growing call for specialist young onset dementia care and point toward several recommendations to develop more age-inclusive diagnostic services.

Sexual attitudes, knowledge, and behavior have been shown to be a life-long pattern of evolving behavior without a clear beginning and ending. Older persons were educated and socialized in an environment that viewed sexuality as a procreative activity appropriate only for married persons in the child bearing years, thus neglecting the interpersonal and individual aspects of sexuality. A sexual psychoeducational intervention was conducted and evaluated with older persons, adult family members of older persons, and staff members of nursing homes. Results indicated significant changes in attitudes toward and knowledge about sexuality and aging and sexual behavior.

Abstract Despite many efforts to empower the EU citizens and their family members to benefit from the free movement of workers, numerous well-documented obstacles are still present within the EU. The EU intends to eliminate the gap between the rights on paper and in practice in Directive 2014/54 by establishing four procedural pillars—promotion, support, analysis and monitoring. The functions are entrusted to the institution(s) designated by the Member States leaving them a wide discretion to choose the most appropriate institutional model. This article focuses on the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of three possible institutional setups—establishment of a new institution, extension of the mandate of an existing body and assignment of the tasks to several existing national bodies. The study examines which model is more suitable to meet the aims of the Directive, taking into consideration the nature and content of the abovementioned pillars and specific situation in the different Member States.

Child custody is one of most important matters in managing the after effects of divorce as far as their impact on the child is concerned. Guided by the general principles of the Qur’an and Sunnah on parenting and parental role, classical jurists developed their own theory of managing such impacts in tandem with what was realistically working for their time and environment. With the changes in the pattern of parenting and traditional family structure in societies like Malaysia, it is suggested the fiqh of child custody has to be relevantised so as to result in minimizing debilitating after effects of parental separation on the children. The Current practice of mostly awarding the custody to the mother is not a full remedy, thus this study using juridico-psychological methods of analysis argues for finding juridical basis for joint-custody. Data related to the research were collected from print and internet sources. The textual and content-analysis methods were used in interpreting the relevant data. The research findings highlighted that the solution to the problem with regard to child custody should be in line with the modern psychological needs of the child so long it is within the parameters set by the Shariah and brings greater benefit to the child. Moreover, if both the parents of the child are Islamic in their orientation of thinking, a joint-custody will be more rewarding towards the child’s psychological needs and growth.  Keywords: Child custody, juridico, legal, joint custody, psychological.          Abstrak Penjagaan anak adalah salah satu perkara yang paling penting dalam mengatasi kesan perceraian terhadap anak. Berpandukan kepada prinsip-prinsip umum Al-Qur’an dan Sunnah mengenai peranan ibu bapa dalam penjagaan anak, para ahli hukum zaman silam telah menyarankan teori masing-masing ke arah pengurangan impak terhadap anak sesuai dengan zaman dan hal keadaan setempat pada masa itu. Dengan perubahan yang berlaku terhadap corak keibubapaan dan struktur keluarga dari tradisional ke moden seperti hal yang berlaku dalam kalangan masyarakat di Malaysia, disarankan fiqh mengenai hak penjagaan anak harus relevan sehingga dapat mengurangkan kesan pemisahan ibu bapa terhadap anak. Amalan semasa yang diguna pakai yang memberi hak keutamaan yang berlebihan kepada pihak ibu dalam penjagaan anak bukanlah suatu penyelesaian yang tuntas. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan juridico-psikologi (hukum dan kaedah psikologi), hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa cara penyelesaian yang terbaik adalah dengan mengambil kira asas perundangan untuk memberi hak penjagaan bersama. Data yang berkaitan dengan kajian ini telah diperolehi dari sumber cetak dan internet. Kaedah analisis teks dan kandungan diguna pakai dalam menafsir data yang relevan dengan kajian ini. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa penyelesaian untuk masalah berkenaan dengan hak penjagaan anak harus sesuai dengan keperluan psikologi moden anak itu selagi ianya tidak bertentangan dengan hukum Syariah dan membawa manfaat yang lebih besar kepada anak. Lebih-lebih lagi, jika kedua ibu bapa kanak-kanak itu Islamik dari segi orientasi berfikir, maka penjagaan bersama akan lebih bermanfaat terhadap keperluan dan pertumbuhan psikologi kanak-kanak tersebut.

<p>Terrorist organizations are now transforming into small cells and spreading their ideology to various parts of the world. The acts of terrorism in the Surabaya bomb case provide a new paradigm of the involvement of family members or an inner circle in their actions. The involvement of family members is considerably related to some psychological aspects. This study aims to provide a psychological analysis of suicide bombing terrors involving family members. The data obtained were analyzed using the perspective of Moghaddam’s theory, ‘staircases to terrorism’. The result indicates that the suicide bomber who has brought their family members in the action has gone through these six stages of psychological aspects: (1) Search for meaning. Actors seeking self and social meaning and finding reasons from the radical ideology adopted; (2) Presenting the ideology. The idea arises to fight those who are considered to do injustice, and the desire to change the system of government and politics is legitimate; (3) Cultivation stage. The process of ideology processing justification for resistance to those who are considered to be doing injustices; (4) Control over members. The stages of correct or wrong assessment based on the fatwa of the leader; (5) Moral engagement. The stage of identity confirmation and the process of polarization of groups of friends and opponents; (6) Recruitment, which is the stage of active involvement in acts of terrorism ranging from planning, targeting, techniques used, time and location of targets to implementing recruitment.</p>

Purpose Palliative care is a philosophy of care that encompasses holistic, patient-centric care involving patients and their family members and loved ones. Palliative care patients often have complex needs. A common challenge in managing patients near their end of life is the complexity of navigating clinical decisions and finding achievable and realistic goals of care that are in line with the values and wishes of patients. This often results in differing opinions and conflicts within the multidisciplinary team. Conclusion This article describes a tool derived from the biopsychosocial model and the 4-quadrant ethical model. The authors describe the use of this tool in managing a patient who wishes to have fried chicken despite aspiration risk and how this tool was used to encourage discussions and reduce conflict and distress within the multidisciplinary team.

Ultimate Purpose

Purpose The purpose of this article is to present a client-centered model of counseling that integrates information and personal adjustment counseling. Research has indicated that audiologists are more comfortable with counseling that is information based than with personal adjustment counseling. The prevailing model of diagnosis appears to be the medical model in which, first, a case history is taken, then testing and, finally, counseling. This model lends itself to audiologist as expert and the counseling as a separate entity based on information and advice. Further research has indicated parents retain little of the information provided in the initial examination because of their heightened emotions. This article presents a client-centered model of diagnosis in which information is provided within an emotionally safe context, enabling the parents to express their feelings and have the ability to control the flow of information. The ultimate purpose of a client-centered model is to empower parents by making them active participants in the diagnostic process rather than passive recipients. Conclusion The client-centered model has wide implications for the diagnostic process as well as for the training of students.

Purpose This retrospective analysis examined group differences in error rate across 4 contextual variables (clusters vs. singletons, syllable position, number of syllables, and articulatory phonetic features) in adults with apraxia of speech (AOS) and adults with aphasia only. Group differences in the distribution of error type across contextual variables were also examined. Method Ten individuals with acquired AOS and aphasia and 11 individuals with aphasia participated in this study. In the context of a 2-group experimental design, the influence of 4 contextual variables on error rate and error type distribution was examined via repetition of 29 multisyllabic words. Error rates were analyzed using Bayesian methods, whereas distribution of error type was examined via descriptive statistics. Results There were 4 findings of robust differences between the 2 groups. These differences were found for syllable position, number of syllables, manner of articulation, and voicing. Group differences were less robust for clusters versus singletons and place of articulation. Results of error type distribution show a high proportion of distortion and substitution errors in speakers with AOS and a high proportion of substitution and omission errors in speakers with aphasia. Conclusion Findings add to the continued effort to improve the understanding and assessment of AOS and aphasia. Several contextual variables more consistently influenced breakdown in participants with AOS compared to participants with aphasia and should be considered during the diagnostic process.

The autism community represents a broad spectrum of individuals, including those experiencing autism, their parents and/or caregivers, friends and family members, professionals serving these individuals, and other allies and advocates. Beliefs, experiences, and values across the community can be quite varied. As such, it is important for the professionals serving the autism community to be well-informed about current discussions occurring within the community related to neurodiversity, a strengths-based approach to partnering with autism community, identity-first language, and concepts such as presumed competence. Given the frequency with which speech-language pathologists (SLPs) serve the autism community, the aim of this article is to introduce and briefly discuss these topics.
