This study explored junior mental health workers’ experiences of conducting assessments involving traumatic events. Semi-structured interviews with 11 junior mental health workers from a UK primary care mental health service were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Participants discussed themes of ambiguity in distinguishing trauma and PTSD, high levels of pressure, management of personal distress, appropriate training, and personal support in-service. Findings corroborate previous research regarding challenges experienced by junior mental health workers and offer novel insight into the challenges faced when assessing service-users’ experiences of traumatic events. Recommendations regarding future training, service design and emotional outlets for junior mental health workers are offered.
Key learning aims
(1) Following reading this paper, readers will better understand the diagnostic and practice-based complexities involved in assessing traumatic events as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) in an NHS Talking Therapies service.
(2) Readers will also be aware of the emotional challenges PWPs in this service have reported experiencing as a result of assessing service users that report having experienced traumatic events.
(3) The reader will also learn about PWPs’ perspectives on what could improve this NHS Talking Therapies service’s processes involved in assessing traumatic events and reflect on whether this might be generalisable across other, similar services.
Maladaptive daydreaming is a distinct syndrome in which the main symptom is excessive vivid fantasising that causes clinically significant distress and functional impairment in academic, vocational and social domains. Unlike normal daydreaming, maladaptive daydreaming is persistent, compulsive and detrimental to one’s life. It involves detachment from reality in favour of intense emotional engagement with alternative realities and often includes specific features such as psychomotor stereotypies (e.g. pacing in circles, jumping or shaking one’s hands), mouthing dialogues, facial gestures or enacting fantasy events. Comorbidity is common, but existing disorders do not account for the phenomenology of the symptoms. Whereas non-specific therapy is ineffective, targeted treatment seems promising. Thus, we propose that maladaptive daydreaming be considered a formal syndrome in psychiatric taxonomies, positioned within the dissociative disorders category. Maladaptive daydreaming satisfactorily meets criteria for conceptualisation as a psychiatric syndrome, including reliable discrimination from other disorders and solid interrater agreement. It involves significant dissociative aspects, such as disconnection from perception, behaviour and sense of self, and has some commonalities with but is not subsumed under existing dissociative disorders. Formal recognition of maladaptive daydreaming as a dissociative disorder will encourage awareness of a growing problem and spur theoretical, research and clinical developments.
We present an idiographic approach to modeling dyadic interactions using differential equations. Using data representing daily affect ratings from romantic relationships, we examined several models conceptualizing different types of dyadic interactions. We fitted each model to each of the dyads and the resulting AICc values were used to classify the most likely configuration of interaction for each dyad. Additionally, the AICc from the different models were used in parameter averaging across models. Averaged parameters were used in models involving predictors of relationship dynamics, as indexed by these parameters, as well as models wherein the parameters predicted distal outcomes of the dyads such as relationship satisfaction and status. Results indicated that, within our sample, the most likely interaction style was that of independence, without evidence of emotional interrelations between the two individuals in the couple. Attachment-related avoidance and anxiety showed significant relations with model parameters, such that ideal levels of affect for males were negatively influenced by higher levels of avoidance from their partner while their own levels of anxiety had positive effects on their levels of dyadic coregulation. For females coregulation was negatively influenced by both time in the relationship and their partner’s level of avoidance. Analysis involving distal outcomes showed modest influences from the individual’s level of ideal affect.
In his study of the local newspaper press, Bob Franklin (2006) has suggested that one of the functions of local newspapers is to provide independent and critical commentary on issues of local concern as well as refracting national debates through regional and local perspectives. In addition to their significant democratic function, local newspapers are important in the reflection of distinctive regional identities which have enabled them to carve out a distinguishing role in the construction of ‘the local’. Always with an eye on the national news agenda, the local press has sought to present national and local news to its target audience with a locally distinctive voice which is closely tied to conceptions of place and belonging, for commercial gain. Indeed, in their analysis of the provincial press during the interwar period, Bromley and Hayes (2002) identify both the commercial and democratic dimension of the local press, suggesting that the local press at this time was key in constructing ‘civic publics’ which sought to carve out the parameters of both class and regional identity. As Matthews states:
For those readers who have stayed loyal to the habit of local newspaper consumption, the title will be the place where they look for news of their area. These range from reports of those landmark events and issues which shape our physical and imagined environment to those personal details which resonate with us on an individual level, such as the deaths of those we knew. (Matthews 2017a: 3)
Of course, national newspapers have long been considered key agents in the formation of national identity and reinforcement of social class (Anderson 1991; Conboy 2004; Bingham and Conboy, 2015), yet questions concerning the way in which the regional press reflects and reinforces both regional and class identity remain relatively underexplored. Perspectives on the editorial dynamics of the regional press have generally sought to emphasise the relative lack of independence of local newspapers from the editorial constraints of their corporate owners, who, in addition to seeking commercial gain, also seek to eschew accusations of parochialism and retain a national resonance (Murphy 1998; Glover, 1998).
This book proves some important new theorems in the theory of canonical inner models for large cardinal hypotheses, a topic of central importance in modern set theory. In particular, the author “completes” the theory of Fine Structure and Iteration Trees (FSIT) by proving a comparison theorem for mouse pairs parallel to the FSIT comparison theorem for pure extender mice, and then using the underlying comparison process to develop a fine structure theory for strategy mice.
Great effort has been taken to make the book accessible to non-experts so that it may also serve as an introduction to the higher reaches of inner model theory. It contains a good deal of background material, some of it unpublished folklore, and includes many references to the literature to guide further reading. An introductory essay serves to place the new results in their broader context.
This is a landmark work in inner model theory that should be in every set theorist’s library.
