The Many Reasons Why Not to Commit Suicide: The Case of "Maggie"
Authors: Henriques Gregg
Published: June 2024

This case describes the treatment of Maggie, a first-year college student dealing with depression, trauma, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It illustrates a conceptualization and practice that takes place within a guiding conception positioned in the "unification pathway" to psychotherapy integration. Specifically, I have developed a foundational, meta-theoretical "big picture," science-based "Unified Theory of Knowledge" (UTOK) that frames the work. It is a model of the evolution of energy, matter, mind, and culture within our universe’s history—that is, from the "big bang" to the multicultural, complex, human societies that dominate the earth today. Within the UTOK metapsychology (Henriques, 2022a), I have described where the discipline of psychology and the theory and practice of psychotherapy are positioned—allowing psychology and psychotherapy to be potentially grounded in a coherent naturalistic ontology that does not reduce to physicalism or overly rely on a natural science empirical epistemology.
UTOK shows how we can retranslate the standard biopsychosocial model into a model that defines the layers of existence in terms of life (the realm of living organisms), mind (the realm of minded animals), and culture (the realm of human persons). It uses this new big picture framework to reframe and realign the key insights from the four major approaches to individual psychotherapy—behavioral, experiential/humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive—since each school of thought captures crucial aspects of human behavior and experience, both in its flourishing and its entrenchment in maladaptive patterns.  
            Because of the scope and complexity of UTOK, it is not possible to fully summarize it in the pages allotted to it in a PCSP case study. Rather, in the psychotherapy case study of Maggie below, the reader is offered a basic outline of UTOK’s overall structure to provide a sense of what it is all about, together with plentiful references to learn more details about UTOK (e.g., Henriques, 2011, 2022a). This outline is then followed by psychotherapy-specific concepts and a central therapeutic technique—CALM-MO—that logically follow from UTOK and were central in Maggie’s treatment, which is then presented in detail and discussed.
Unifying Psychotherapy in Suicide Prevention
Authors: Dubue Jonathan , Harris Jeff
Published: June 2024

Youth and young adults are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis, where part of the solution is providing flexible and effective psychotherapy. In this case study commentary, we review the case of Maggie, a young adult in the United States dealing with suicidal ideation, symptoms from a traumatic sexual assault, and internalized shame. Using his version of a Unified Psychotherapy model, Gregg Henriques explains and details how to use the Unified Theory of Knowledge (UTOK) with particular emphasis on his mindfulness-and acceptance-based technique called CALM-MO. We comment on both the use of his treatment model and on how Maggie’s suicidal ideation was treated. Here, we found promise in Henriques’ UTOK model as a comprehensive framework for case conceptualization, although we worried about its accessibility to new clinicians. As well, we discuss how Henriques’ resource-focused framework was advantageous to treating Maggie’s suicidality, although he may have found additional benefit from updating his risk management practices to be more collaborative and humanistic. Ultimately, we believe the case of Maggie offers a timely exemplar of who is at the heart of our mental health crisis, while offering a comprehensive and unified psychotherapeutic approach for treatment consideration.
"The Commitment of a Lifetime": The Role of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy in Strengthening Attachment Bonds and Improving Relationship Health in Later-Life Couples—The Teletherapy Case of "Alice" and "Steve"
Authors: Mendelson Drew
Published: June 2024

A healthy marriage is a crucial protective factor for adapting to the challenges of late life. Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) is an attachment-based model of psychotherapy that emphasizes here-and-now processing of emotion in a safe holding environment; enhanced understanding of the patterned interactions between self and other; and a non-pathologizing, growth-oriented approach toward couples’ difficulties. This case study examines the benefits of EFCT for addressing issues specific to late life, including existential concerns such as aging, illness, and mortality; caregiving burdens and stress; cumulative relational trauma over the lifespan; and forgiveness and healing from emotional injuries.
The case study involved a 20-session, teletherapy treatment of a couple named "Alice" and "Steve," aged 74 and 75, respectively, with Steve suffering from advanced Parkinson’s Disease. The couple presented with hopelessness and resentment about their caregiving situation, unresolved traumas from early childhood fueling their relationship’s sore spots, and unprocessed grief and fears concerning losses at the end stage of life. The EFCT-guided treatment focused on promoting transformational and corrective experiences of secure attachment bonding. Throughout therapy, Alice and Steve cultivated coherent, positive perspectives of their marriage and related hardships by engaging in reminiscence; embraced their longings for each other by relinquishing their defenses against loss and mourning; and strengthened the legacy of their marriage by exploring their shared values and vision of family life.
At the end of therapy, the clients retrospectively completed several standardized, quantitative measures assessing aspects of emotional and relational health. Their responses evidenced their heightened emotional awareness and acceptance, increased marital adjustment and satisfaction, and improved attachment security over the course of the therapy. This case study highlights EFCT as a potent therapeutic intervention for fostering relationship health in later-life individuals to reduce the public health risks associated with social disconnection and loneliness in the aging population.
Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy with a Late-Life Couple: From Despair to Integrity
Authors: Skean Karen Riggs , Brown Elisabeth
Published: June 2024

This commentary discusses the therapy of "Alice" and "Steve," a late-life married couple using Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) with a special emphasis on navigating Erik Erikson’s final psychosocial stage, that of Integrity vs. Despair.  The support and validation offered the couple by a university-based student clinician allowed the couple to rewrite the narrative of their relationship in ways that helped them connect and be present for each other in a time of illness and impending loss.  Implications for the benefits of teletherapy for expanding access are discussed.
The Successful Integration of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and Multicultural Theory: Drew Mendelson’s Psychotherapy with "Alice" and "Steve"
Authors: Kelly Shalonda
Published: June 2024

In reading Drew Mendelson’s case study, I am inspired and hopeful about the possibilities for our field to address diversity. Although there are many things to admire and discuss about Mendelson’s work, and many implications that it has for clinicians, I am choosing to focus this commentary solely on aspects of diversity, something that Mendelson clearly thinks and cares about, and something that the field is still learning how to integrate into treatment. I will discuss how Mendelson shared his knowledge of the challenges that later-life couples face, recognizing age as an aspect of diversity that needs more attention. Then I will discuss the couple that Mendelson treated and analyze how Mendelson used cultural competence to assess the role of diversity in their lives and to bridge differences between him and the couple and between the two partners. Given that Mendelson used Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) with this case, I will review the aspects of EFCT that appear to be quite useful for working with diverse couples, as well as a set of fatal flaws that hinder the ability of EFCT and other Western treatments to address diversity fully. Based upon those observations, I conclude with the reasons why I believe that Mendelson successfully integrated EFCT and multiculturalism to tailor treatment to the couple, "Alice" and "Steve."
Reflecting on the Themes of Aging, Caregiving, Narrative, and Multiculturalism in the EFCT Case of "Alice" and "Steve"'
Authors: Mendelson Drew
Published: June 2024

In this article, I respond to commentaries by Drs. Karen Skean and Elisabeth Brown (2024), and by Dr. Shalonda Kelly (2024) on my presentation of the case of "Alice" and "Steve" (Mendelson, 2024), a later-life couple I treated using Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT). Skean and Brown (2024) meaningfully address the role of EFCT in redefining a relationship narrative within the contexts of caregiving, illness, and loss, drawing from Erik Erikson’s final psychosocial stage of integrity vs. despair and highlighting the benefits of teletherapy for broader access. Kelly (2024) thoughtfully acknowledges both the possibilities and limitations of integrating EFCT and multiculturalism in treating diverse couples, noting areas where the therapist can bridge differences in partners’ worldviews; power; experiences and contexts; and felt sense of distance. In the following response, I reflect on their emotionally and intellectually compelling commentaries and offer feedback to foster discussion on the adaptation of EFCT to work within our clients’ unique generational and cultural frameworks.
Working with Siblings in the Treatment of Traumatized Youth
Authors: Fire Renata
Published: June 2024

In their manuscript, “Addressing Child Maltreatment by Infusing Multicultural, Feminist Tenets to Standard Clinical Approaches: The Cases of ‘Bashiir’ and ‘Jaquann,’” Dr. Rachel Singer, Dr. Renee DeBoard-Lucas, and Dr. Milton Fuentes (2024) exemplified how clinicians can be cognizant and respectful of the many familial, socio-cultural, and systemic contexts that contribute to a client's difficulties and that must be considered for successful treatment. As such, they made relevant clinical adjustments to overcome possible barriers to treatment and to foster safe, culturally responsive therapeutic environments. In this Commentary, I propose another clinical adjustment, congruent with a multicultural feminist lens, that has the potential to be beneficial to families that face barriers to parental involvement in treatment: working with the sibling subsystem. While interventions with siblings have received minimal attention in the clinical literature, work with the sibling subsystem has the potential of benefiting individuals and families alike, particularly in the context of trauma-focused therapy with youth. To illustrate how clinicians can work jointly with siblings, I propose pivotal themes and junctures in therapy with Bashiir and Jaquann where sibling involvement may be beneficial.
Embracing Deliberate Practice and Cultural Humility to Deepen Our Understanding of the Multicultural Feminist Approach: The Cases of “Bashiir” and “Jaquann”
Authors: Singer Rachel , DeBoard-Lucas Renee , Fuentes Milton
Published: June 2024

In this article, we respond with gratitude to commentaries from Dr. Renata Fire (2024) and Dr. Melissa Phillips (2024) on our cases of “Bashiir” and “Jaquann” (Singer, Deboard-Lucas, & Fuentes, 2024). Dr. Fire’s commentary encouraged additional reflection on the inclusion of siblings within the therapeutic context. Dr. Phillips explored themes related to the ecological model. In the following response, guided by multicultural feminist tenets, we reflect on the commentaries provided by our colleagues and offer additional feedback on strategies for increasing engagement of family-centered cases and expanding interventions through deliberate practice to include other systems, including siblings, broader structures, and current developments in the field.
THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES OF SHIFTING CULTIVATION IN NORTH-EASTERN STATES OF INDIA
Authors: Sarkar Sukanta
Published: June 2024

The paper discussed the historical perspectives of shifting cultivation in north-eastern states of India. It has been found that north-eastern region of India has long history of shifting cultivation. Shifting cultivation is a primitive method of agricultural cultivation in the region. Ethnic tribal people are more involve in such cultivation. Large portion land in the region are still under such cultivation. Culture, rituals and customs of the tribal people are connected with shifting cultivation. Area under shifting cultivation are declined in the region due to many reasons. Low production of crops, lack of rainfall, and government restrictions are the prominent factors. But large portion of land in Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh, are still under the shifting cultivation. Poor tribal people are more involved in shifting cultivation because of less use of capital, inputs, machines etc. It is a labour-intensive method of cultivation. There are negative ecological implications of shifting cultivation on nature. The Government of many states in the region has already prohibited such cultivation considering its environmental consequences and encouraging them for transforming in agro-forestry.
THE LOCAL COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DECLINE OF SANINTEN (CASTANOPSIS ARGENTEA (BLUME) A.DC.) AND TUNGURUT (CASTANOPSIS TUNGURRUT (BLUME) A.DC.) IN THE BUFFER VILLAGES OF THE GUNUNG HALIMUN-SALAK NATIONAL PARK

Published: June 2024

Saninten (Castanopsis argentea) and tungurut (Castanopsis tungurrut) are plant species belonging to the family Fagaceae, native to the mountainous forest ecosystem within the Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park (GHSNP). These species are currently classified as endangered according to the IUCN Red List due to their significance in providing seeds for consumption and wood for construction materials. This research aims to examine the local community’s knowledge concerning the presence, scarcity, and underlying causes of the decline of both species in the buffer villages of GHSNP. In this study, we employed survey methods and semi-structured interviews conducted with various informants. The data collected were meticulously described and analyzed descriptively. The findings revealed that the local community, in general, holds knowledge about the scarcity of species primarily based on field observations rather than legal or conservation status. Currently, both species are challenging to locate in the buffer villages of the GHSNP. According to the local community’s knowledge, the causes of species scarcity can be categorized into internal and external factors. Internal factors include both species having a slow natural regeneration pattern, difficulties in germination, and vulnerability of seedlings to environmental conditions. Meanwhile, external factors encompass seed and timber exploitation, habitat loss, climate changes, limited knowledge, skills, and understanding of forest plants, and the current perception among locals that C. argentea and C. tungurrut offer limited economic benefits, leading to the gradual neglect of these species’ existence.

Digital inequalities and their impact on distance education: The case of Ibn Zohr university students – Morocco
Authors: Arhal Mohamed
Published: June 2024

The period of quarantine, which was due to the global health crisis caused by the Covid 19 virus, constituted a laboratory to form, strengthen, and deepen the degree of digital inequality. This situation dictated the need to move from adopting the face-to-face education pattern to ‘‘digital education’’. For this purpose, we proceeded by asking the following question: Do digital inequalities affect the degree of benefit from distance education? In this context, we assume that the level of digital inequalities affects the benefits of digital education that will be obtained by university students. We start from a sample of Ibn Zohr university students (59). In short, the research findings allow us to conclude that the degree of benefit from distance education (distance lectures) is affected positively by four main variables. The results indicate that the place of residence of students is affected by the degree of Internet access, and subsequently the degree of access to distance education. Furthermore, the availability of scholarship has an impact on the degree of access to distance education. Also, The Internet weakness often causes technical problems, which affects the degree of benefit from distance education.

Authors: Chomicz Radosław , Borysiuk Piotr
Published: June 2024

The impact of modifying hemp shives with water glass on selected properties of hemp-cement-limecomposite. The influence of the addition and modification of hemp shives with water glass on selected propertiesof the hemp-cement-limestone composite was investigated. Nine variants of composites were produced, differingin the volume content of hemp husks: 0%, 15%, 25%, 35% and 50%, modified or unmodified with water glass.For the produced composites, it was tested: density, compressive strength, MOR (bending strength), MOE(modulus of elasticity), thickness swelling and water absorption. Based on the conducted research, it was foundthat the increase in the addition of hemp shives results in a decrease in strength parameters and deterioration of thewater resistance of hemp-cement-lime composites. In turn, the modification of hemp shives with water glassimproves both the strength and physical properties (limited swelling in thickness and water absorption) of hempcement-lime composites compared to analogous composites based on unmodified hemp shives. The higheststrength parameters and the best resistance to water are demonstrated by a hemp-cement-limestone compositecontaining a 15% volume share of hemp shives modified with a 5% addition of water glass.

Published: June 2024

Positivism and empiricism are modern paradigms become the basic guidelines for the schools of legal philosophy, namely legal positivism and legal realism. However, the current condition in Indonesia is dominated by the paradigm of legal positivism so that everything must be by written law. The practice of inheritance division that is always based on the concept of 2:1 as in the Compilation of Islamic Law is felt to be incompatible with community justice. The purpose of this research is to enrich the study of the positivism and empiricism paradigms as a renewal of Islamic inheritance law in Indonesia. The benefit of this research is to inform that the integration of positivism and empiricism in law will produce competent law enforcement. This research is a normative research with a conceptual approach and data sources in the form of literature and data analysis techniques, namely evaluation. The results of this research are; (1) The factor that causes judges in Indonesia to use the judicial restraint approach excessively as a characteristic of legal positivism is the legal culture of the application of the civil law legal system. (2) The solution to the problem offered is to borrow Fazlur Rahman's double movement theory, namely historical contextualisation by taking universal values from the norm. Therefore, it is time for judges to be free to move to realize moral justice within the limits set by the Constitution and the Law on Judicial Power.
COVID-19 Modified mRNA “Vaccines”: Lessons Learned from Clinical Trials, Mass Vaccination, and the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, Part 1

Published: June 2024

Our understanding of COVID-19 synthetic, modified mRNA (modmRNA) products and their public health impact has evolved substantially since December 2020. Published reports from the original randomized placebo-controlled trials concluded that the modmRNA injections could greatly reduce COVID-19 symptoms. However, the premature termination of both trials obviated any reliable assessment of potential adverse events due to an insufficient timeframe for proper safety evaluation. Following authorization of the modmRNA products for global distribution, problems with the methods and execution of the trials have emerged. The usual safety testing protocols and toxicology requirements were bypassed. Many key trial findings were either misreported or omitted entirely from published trial reports. By implication, the secondary estimates of excess morbidity and mortality in both trials must be deemed underestimates. Rigorous re-analyses of trial data and post-marketing surveillance studies indicate a substantial degree of modmRNA-related harms than was initially reported. Confidential Pfizer documents had revealed 1.6 million adverse events by August 2022. A third were serious injuries to cardiovascular, neurological, thrombotic, immunological, and reproductive systems, along with an alarming increase in cancers. Moreover, well-designed studies have shown that repeated modmRNA injections cause immune dysfunction, thereby potentially contributing to heightened susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infections and increased risks of COVID-19. This paper also discusses the insidious influence of the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, a closely coordinated collaboration between public health organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and regulatory agencies. We recommend a global moratorium on the modmRNA products until proper safety and toxicological studies are conducted.

Authors: Mahmud Amir , Tri Goutomo Bimo
Published: June 2024

In this study, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were successfully synthesized using square wave pulse deposition. The synthesis process involved applying a lower potential of -0.1 V and an upper potential of 0 V for 25 minutes. Characterization of the synthesized Au NPs was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The XRD analysis confirmed the formation of the Au phase on the FTO substrate. The SEM images revealed a nanopyramid-like morphology, with an average particle size ranging from 20 to 200 nm. The EIS measurements indicated low resistance values for the Au NPs.

Starch is a natural polymer derived from plants, known for its biodegradability, environmental friendliness, wide availability, and affordability. Glycerol, with its low molecular weight, serves as an effective plasticizer. Its addition enhances the physical and mechanical properties of plastics and provides protection against microbial degradation. This study aims to investigate the impact of glycerol addition on the mechanical properties of biodegradable plastics made from sweet potato starch and plantain peel waste. The research is an experimental to achieve this goal. The results indicated that all samples achieved 100% degradation, with elongation percentages ranging from 93.59% to 137.56%. The sample containing 10 grams of sweet potato starch and 5 grams of banana peel starch exhibited the lowest water absorption percentage at 73.43%. Additionally, the bioplastic sample consisting of 5 grams each of sweet potato starch and banana peel starch showed the highest thickness at 0.36 mm, meeting the established SNI standards. In conclusion, the mechanical properties, biodegradability, and transparency of bioplastics are influenced by variations in sweet potato starch and plantain peel starch composition, as well as by the addition of glycerol.

A simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly analytical method is needed to determine Cu (II) levels in water. Many methods have been developed by immobilizing dithizone in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix with dioctyl phthalate (DOP) as a plasticizer in a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent. However, the optimal composition of PVC, DOP, and THF has not been determined. The purposes of this study were to determine the optimal composition of dithizone, PVC, and DOP for the sensor membranes, evaluate the performance of the chemical sensors in detecting Cu (II) ions, and measure the copper content in conventional drinking water. The research began with the fabrication of sensor membranes, followed by absorbance testing, and concluded with method validation through characterization. Adsorption of Cu (II) caused the membrane colour to change from yellow to reddish orange, with maximum absorbance observed at 427 nm. The sensor membrane exhibited the best response to Cu (II) ions at pH 2.8. A linear calibration curve for Cu (II) was obtained in the concentration range of 0-0.6 ppm, with an R² value of 0.9924. The limit of detection was 1.9881 x 10⁻³ mg L⁻¹, and the limit of quantification was 6.0245 x 10⁻³ mg L⁻¹. The molar absorptivity was 9.4831 x 10⁴ L mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹. The proposed sensor membrane was used to measure Cu (II) in drinking water employing the internal standard addition method, with observed recoveries ranging from 98.63% to 100.29%. The copper levels in the drinking water samples tested in this study did not exceed the drinking water quality standards set by PERMENKES RI number 492/PER/IV/2010.

Hilal-i Ahmer Cemiyeti, kuruluşundan itibaren hayır toplama, yardım yapma, kimsesizleri barındırma, tabi afetlerde ilk yardıma ulaşan kuruluşlardan birisi olmuştur.
Hilal-i Ahmer Cemiyeti, Birinci Dünya Savaşı esnasında da Çankırı’da iane toplama faaliyetlerini yürütmüş, çeşitli kampanyalar yapmak suretiyle gerek Osmanlı Ordusu'nun gerekse sivil halkın yardımına koşmuştur. Hilal-i Ahmer Cemiyeti, savaş ortamının olumsuz sonuçlarını hafifletmek ve burada bulunan hasta ve yaralılara daha iyi hizmet sunabilmek için Çankırı’ya da bir şubesini açmıştır.
Hilal-i Ahmer Cemiyeti, İtilaf Devletleri orduları tarafından esir alınan Osmanlı askerlerinden Çankırılı olup da Hindiçini’de, Mısır’da, Bağdat’ta, Kıbrıs’ta, İtalya’da esir olarak bulunanların esir kamplarındaki durumları, bunların aileleriyle haberleşmeleri, tedaviye muhtaç olanların bakımlarının yapılması, posta, paket, koli, para, mektup v.b. gönderilerinin sağlıklı bir şekilde iletilmesi konusunda da faaliyet göstermiştir.
Birinci Dünya Savaşı döneminde Çankırı, stratejik öneminden dolayı önemli merkezlerden biri olmuştur. Bu nedenle burada bir esir garnizonu açılmıştır. Bu esir kampında daha çok Fransız, İngiliz, Rus asker ve subayları muhafaza altında tutulmuştur. Hilal-i Ahmer Cemiyeti, söz konusu esirlere esir talimatnameleri çerçevesinde resmi işlemlerinin yürütülmesi, yaşamlarının sürdürülmesi, dini yükümlülüklerini rahatça yerine getirebilmelerinin zemininin hazırlanmasına yardımcı olmuştur. Milli Mücadele döneminde de Çankırı’nın Ankara’ya yakın olması sebebiyle buradaki esir kampının önemi daha da artmış, Sakarya Savaşı ve Büyük Taarruz sonrası Yunan asker ve subayları burada mübadelelerine kadar muhafaza edilmişlerdir.
"Hilal-i Ahmer’in Çankırı’daki Faaliyetleri (1914-1922)" isimli bu çalışma arşiv belgeleri ve tetkik eserler çerçevesinde ele alınmaya çalışılacaktır.
