Zimmerman, Elizabeth M. "Focal Sharp Waves in Psychiatric Patients| Implications for Complex Clinical Presentation." Thesis, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3560217.

Abstract:

<p> Sharp waves are areas of transient electrophysiological activity on conventional electroencephalogram (EEG) and are controversial as to their role in psychopathology. While some previous research has approached sub-seizure sharp waves as benign phenomena, the position taken in this study is that such activity indicates focal brain abnormalities with demonstrable behavioral correlations. This study explored the hypotheses that prevalence, location, and pattern of distribution of sharp wave activities in psychiatric patients would be associated with significant pathology and would predict sp

Abstract:

This collective case study of three men, from a pastoral care perspective, looks at how people change their meaning making and sources of support they find useful as they begin life on hemodialysis. Meaning making, a spiritual process, involves appraising the significance of ourselves and our lives in changing circumstances. The stresses of beginning dialysis may lead to altered meanings. Processes and themes in the subjects' narratives are compared to those from accounts by two more experienced dialysis patients. The new patients regarded this stage in their lives as temporary; the more exper

Abstract:

A mounting body of evidence suggests that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) is successful in reducing the impact of posttraumatic symptoms. Although the exact mechanisms of action remain unknown, theories from the psychological to the neuroscientific continue to emerge, expand, and evolve. This study will examine four of the most prominent theories to date and weigh the evidence for and against each one. It will also review, compare, and contrast the theories, evaluate the research supporting each one, and propose the most likely explanation for EMDR’s success given

Abstract:

<p> Background: Each year, nearly ½ million youth under 15 years old sustains a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although racial disparities have not been found in pediatric TBI (Howard, Joseph, & Natale, 2005), the consequences of TBI still remain a serious public health concern. Moderate and severe TBI (msTBI) frequently result in diffuse axonal injury and other white matter damage. The corpus callosum (CC) is particularly vulnerable to injury, though the impact of this damage may not be apparent until several months-to-years following injury. Damage to the CC has been associated wit

Abstract:

Recent investigations have shown little evidence of differential improvement of written disclosure for bereaved individuals over a control condition. The present study hypothesized that a moderator may interact with disclosure. Vagal tone, as indexed by respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), was proposed to moderate the effect of written disclosure. Vagal tone has been shown as an individual difference in self-regulation in the infant literature, and more recently in adults with depression, anxiety, and daily stressors.

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether emotion processing deficits previously reported in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) represent a direct extension of their cognitive impairments or a specific emotion processing deficit, and whether affective information is available, but inaccessible to consciousness in AD.

An incidental observation suggested that females would show a different temporal pattern of fear generalization.

<p> Listening to music is an activity that provides a range of physical and psychological benefits (e.g., tension relief, decreased depression) for people across cultures and age groups.

Research suggests that both music and the family context play important roles during the developmental phase of adolescence.

When a flashback to a traumatic event is triggered in a person suffering from traumatic stress, or PTSD, key functions in the brain malfunction and are deactivated, potentially causing massive disassociation. In addition, trauma can cause chronic hyperarousal, resulting from the body’s malfunctioning autonomic nervous system’s defensive response of fight, flight, or freeze.

Abstract:

In the framework of the theoretical debate on whether it is appropriate to consider Problematic Internet Use (PIU) and problematic Social Networking sites use as addictive behaviors, the main aim of this work was to build on and extend previous findings about the psycho-physiological mechanisms underlying these problematic behaviors. In the first study, self-report instruments in a cross-sectional design highlighted a pattern of symptoms related to anxiety/mood disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in PIU. Interestingly, only hoarding and obsessing symptoms predicted the conditio

Abstract:

Although a multitude of preventative programs have been utilised worldwide to modify cardiovascular risk factors, none have included internet based interventions. Study 1 aimed to compare internet based (n = 21), face-to-face (n = 27), and combined (n = 21) treatment groups with a naturally occurring control group (n = 24) on physiological, psychological, and lifestyle risk variables for cardiovascular disease across 6-months, and to determine if there were relationships between changes in the psychological and physiological variables over time. Results indicated that the internet based group

Abstract:

Sleep disturbances are common in persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Hart et al., 2003) and pose a great strain on their family caregivers (Hope, Keene, Gedling, Fairburn, & Jacoby, 1998) including their emotional functioning (Schulz & Martire, 2004). The current study is the first to examine the impact of daily sleep and mood in persons with AD on their caregiver's sleep and emotional functioning. The study examined sleep and mood across eight days in 40 family caregivers of persons with AD. It was hypothesized that poor sleep in the person with AD person would have a negative impact on ca

Abstract:

This study examines the relation between trauma, HPA-Axis dysregulation and PTSD symptoms as moderated by exposure to chronic life stress and parental stress. Sixty-three children and their parents participated in the study. Participants ranged in age from 7 to 14 years and were predominantly African-American. It was hypothesized (1) that there would be a significant positive relation between the number of traumatic events experienced and PTSD symptoms, and that this relationship would be moderated by both chronic stress and parental stress, such that as stress increased so would PTSD symptoms

Abstract:

The field of psychoneuroimmunology seeks to examine the impact of stress and other psychological processes on physical health. While some theories suggest that processes such as worry may have a significant impact on prolonging the physiological stress response and subsequently increasing risk for long-term health issues, to date, this research has not yet thoroughly examined the impact of worry on physical health processes. The current study sought to combine theories from clinical and health psychology to investigate the impact of experimentally-induced worry and relaxation on cortisol, hear
