TRANSFERENCE AND COUNTERTRANSFERENCE IN THERAPY AND SUPERVISION
Authors: Плотникова Е.А.
Published: December 2024

Статья обсуждает ключевые концепции переноса и контрпереноса в контексте терапии и супервизии. Автор указывает на важность этих феноменов в процессе консультирования и психотерапии, где эмоциональное воздействие играет ключевую роль. Понятия переноса и контрпереноса были введены Зигмундом Фрейдом и с тех пор широко используются в психологии. Перенос определяется как проекция эмоций и конфликтов пациента на терапевта, в то время как контрперенос – как реакция терапевта на пациента, часто основанная на его собственном прошлом опыте. Рассматривается история развития этих концепций, а также их роль в современной терапевтической практике. Особое внимание уделяется внутренним объектам, которые могут переносятся, и роли контрпереноса как инструмента понимания внутренних переживаний терапевта. Понимание и осознание переноса и контрпереноса помогают повысить эффективность терапии и улучшить качество взаимодействия между специалистом и клиентом.

The article discusses the key concepts of transference and countertransference in the context of therapy and supervision. The author emphasizes the importance of these phenomena in the counseling and psychotherapy process, where emotional impact plays a crucial role. The concepts of transference and countertransference were introduced by Sigmund Freud and have since been widely used in psychology. Transference is defined as the projection of a patient's emotions and conflicts onto the therapist, while countertransference is the therapist's reaction to the patient, often based on their own past experiences. The history of the development of these concepts and their role in modern therapeutic practice is examined. Special attention is paid to internal objects that may be transferred, and the role of countertransference as a tool for understanding the therapist's internal experiences. Understanding and recognizing transference and countertransference help enhance therapy effectiveness and improve the quality of interaction between the therapist and the client.

Published: December 2024

One of the strongest emotions that condition a person's outward actions is fear. In the Bible, we can find many examples of a wide range of emotions experienced by characters, from joy to sorrow. More than potential human fear of something that might harm us, however, we recognize in the Bible the fear of God - the fear of God. The Old Testament Book of Judith, written at a time of strong Hellenistic influence on the Jewish people, provides the reader with a remarkable insight into the actions of characters under the influence of an abundance, lack, or excess of fear. This article attempts to offer just such a perspective on the understanding of the emotion of fear in ancient Greece and its comparison with the Book of Judith.

Authors: Fang Juan , Li Li-Hui , He Ming-Qian , Ji Yue , Lu Dong-Yan , Zhang Li-Bing , Yao Jin-Lan
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Frailty has become a significant public health issue. The recent increase in the number of frail older adults has led to increased attention being paid to psychological care services in communities. The social isolation of pre-frail older adults can impact their psychological distress.

AIM

To explore the mediating effect of health literacy between social isolation and psychological distress among communitydwelling older adults with pre-frailty.

METHODS

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 254 pre-frail older individuals aged 60 years and over. Social isolation, health literacy, and psychological distress were comprehensively measured using the Lubben Social Network Scale-6, 12-item Short-Form Health Literacy Questionnaire, and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-10. Data were evaluated using the SPSS 27.0 package program and the PROCESS macro tool. Descriptive statistical analyses, correlation analyses, and bootstrap mediation tests were used to assess associations between the variables.

RESULTS

The results showed that social isolation had an effect on health literacy among pre-frail older adults (β = 0.240, P < 0.001), social isolation impact on psychological distress pre-frail older adults (β = -0.415, P < 0.001); health literacy was identified effect on psychological distress among pre-frail older persons (β = -0.307, P < 0.001). Health literacy partially mediated the relationship between social isolation and psychological distress among community-dwelling older adults with pre-frailty, with a mediation effect of -0.074, accounting for 17.83% of the total effect.

CONCLUSION

Health literacy significantly affects the relationship between social isolation and psychological distress among pre-frail older adults. Apart from fostering social connections, improved health literacy measures should be considered.

Posttraumatic stress symptoms among Chinese university students during the COVID-19 pandemic: Prevalence, correlates, and mental health help-seeking
Authors: Wu Rui-Yao , Ge Lin-Feng , Zhong Bao-Liang
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Revisiting the epidemiology of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs) among university students during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as well as understanding the mental health help-seeking behavior of individuals with PTSSs has critical implications for public mental health strategies in future medical pandemics.

AIM

To investigate the prevalence and correlates of PTSSs among university students during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in China and to examine mental health help-seeking behaviors among these students.

METHODS

A total of 2507 Chinese university students were recruited via snowball sampling. The students completed the Seven-item Screening Scale for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Sociodemographic characteristics, pandemic-related characteristics, and mental health help-seeking behaviors of students with PTSSs were also collected.

RESULTS

The prevalence of PTSSs among the participants was 28.0%. Seven significant correlates of PTSSs were identified (odds ratio = 1.23-3.65, P ≤ 0.024): Female sex, being 19 years old or older, living with others or alone, a low level of family economic status, fair or poor interpersonal relationships, severe or very severe local pandemic, and having family members diagnosed with COVID-19. However, only 3.28% of the students with PTSSs reported seeking help from mental health specialists. Among the 23 students who sought help from mental health specialists, 13 opted for online or telephone-based psychological consultation.

CONCLUSION

Our data suggest that there was a high risk of PTSSs among university students and a high level of unmet mental health needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The delivery of mental health services online or via telephone is a promising approach to address these unmet needs.
Motivational interviewing in postoperative rehabilitation and chronic disease management: Current findings and future research directions
Authors: Zhang Bing-Ren , Yang Xiao
Published: December 2024

This editorial highlights a recently published study examining the effectiveness of music therapy combined with motivational interviewing (MI) in addressing anxiety and depression among young and middle-aged patients following percutaneous coronary intervention. It further explores existing evidence and potential future research directions for MI in postoperative rehabilitation and chronic disease management. MI aims to facilitate behavioral change and promote healthier lifestyles by fostering a trusting relationship with patients and enhancing intrinsic motivation. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness in postoperative recovery for oncological surgery, stroke, organ transplants, and gastrointestinal procedures, as well as in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and periodontal disease. The approach is patient-centered, adaptable, cost-effective, and easily replicable, though its limitations include reliance on the therapist’s expertise, variability in individual responses, and insufficient long-term follow-up studies. Future research could focus on developing individualized and precise intervention models, exploring applications in digital health management, and confirming long-term outcomes to provide more comprehensive support for patient rehabilitation.

Authors: Liao Zong-Ling , Pu Xiao-Li , Zheng Zhi-Yi , Luo Jie
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

At present, the influencing factors of social function in patients with residual depressive symptoms are still unclear. Residual depressive symptoms are highly harmful, leading to low mood in patients, affecting work and interpersonal communication, increasing the risk of recurrence, and adding to the burden on families. Studying the influencing factors of their social function is of great significance.

AIM

To explore the social function score and its influencing factors in patients with residual depressive symptoms.

METHODS

This observational study surveyed patients with residual depressive symptoms (case group) and healthy patients undergoing physical examinations (control group). Participants were admitted between January 2022 and December 2023. Social functioning was assessed using the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS), and scores were compared between groups. Factors influencing SDS scores in patients with residual depressive symptoms were analyzed by applying multiple linear regression while using the receiver operating characteristic curve, and these factors’ predictive efficacy on social function impairment was assessed.

RESULTS

The SDS scores of the 158 patients with depressive symptoms were 11.48 ± 3.26. Compared with the control group, the SDS scores and all items in the case group were higher. SDS scores were higher in patients with relapse, discontinuous medication, drug therapy alone, severe somatic symptoms, obvious residual symptoms, and anxiety scores ≥ 8. Disease history, medication compliance, therapy method, and residual symptoms correlated positively with SDS scores (r = 0.354, 0.414, 0.602, and 0.456, respectively). Independent influencing factors included disease history, medication compliance, therapy method, somatic symptoms, residual symptoms, and anxiety scores (P < 0.05). The areas under the curve for predicting social functional impairment using these factors were 0.713, 0.559, 0.684, 0.729, 0.668, and 0.628, respectively, with sensitivities of 79.2%, 61.8%, 76.8%, 81.7%, 63.6%, and 65.5% and specificities of 83.3%, 87.5%, 82.6%, 83.3%, 86.7%, and 92.1%, respectively.

CONCLUSION

The social function scores of patients with residual symptoms of depression are high. They are affected by disease history, medication compliance, therapy method, degree of somatic symptoms, residual symptoms, and anxiety.

Published: December 2024

Every year in India, tropical cyclones pose one of the
greatest threats to life and property. They include a
variety of hazards, each of which can have a
significant impact on life and property, such as storm
surge, flooding, extreme winds, tornadoes, and
lighting. These hazards interact with one another,
substantially increasing the risk of loss of life and
material damage. According to a study on extreme
weather events, as many as 117 cyclones hit India in
50 years from 1970 to 2019, claiming over 40,000
lives. Due to advancements in technology, detection
of cyclones has become much easier. Cyclones are
categorized into various categories based on their
intensity which is calculated by various methods and
sources. Estimation of the intensity of cyclone helps
them to categorize. In this paper we are trying to

estimate the intensity of cyclones by using the state-
of-the-art deep learning models as they are pre-trained

on large data sets.

Mental Illness is as Catastrophic as Physical Illness, If Not More!
Authors:   Hyderabad, India, Tejomurtula Lakshmoji
Published: December 2024

As per the data released by the Mental Health Survey (NMHS) 2015-16, 10.6% (1) of the adults in India have
something or other clinical mental illness, and many more suffer silently with subclinical symptoms. In India, the
contribution of mental illness to disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in the year 2017 was 4.7% with an uprise of
88% from 2.5% in the year 1990. Social stress, highly competitive ecosystems, peer pressure, and erratic working
schedules are some of the predisposing factors for the high prevalence of mental illness in urban areas. Mental illness
has a larger economic burden on patients and it impacts even the purchasing power of the entire family. World over,
mental neurological and substance use disorders collectively known as MNSUDs are recognized as a sizable factor
contributing to the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) category with substantial impact on morbidity and disability.
Unfortunately, in India, only 5% (one out of twenty) patients seek treatment for mental illness, and only 0.06% of the
total health budget is for mental health programs. More non-medical community-based research is needed to fathom
the gigantic mental illness across socioeconomic sects of society.

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease impacting the tissues supporting teeth, demands innovative therapeutic strategies. While scaling and root planning (SRP) remain the gold standard, adjunctive treatments are needed to address bacterial persistence and bone resorption. This study explored an in situ curcumin/zinc oxide nanoparticle (Cur/ZNP) hydrogel designed to enhance antibacterial action, reduce inflammation, and promote bone health. Methods included in vitro antibacterial and cytotoxicity evaluations, as well as in vivo testing using a rat periodontitis model. Hydrogels were applied to periodontal pockets, and outcomes such as bacterial growth inhibition, transcriptional responses in gingival tissues, and alveolar bone preservation were assessed. Key markers, osteocalcin (OCN) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), were analyzed to gauge bone metabolism. Results demonstrated that the Cur/ZNP hydrogel exhibited synergistic antibacterial effects against Porphyromonas gingivalis, superior biocompatibility, and robust modulation of immune responses compared to individual Cur or ZNP hydrogels. Alveolar bone loss was significantly mitigated, with enhanced OCN and OPG expression indicating improved bone preservation. Cur/ZNP hydrogels represent a promising advancement in periodontitis management, offering enhanced bacterial inhibition, immune modulation, and bone health support. Future studies should optimize formulation stability and explore broader antimicrobial effects to realize clinical potential.

Published: December 2024

Water management is a significant issue for Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, due to rapid urbanization, a lack of freshwater sources, and inadequate infrastructure. In order to solve the dual issues of urban flood risks and water scarcity that the city faces due to rapid population growth and restricted freshwater supply, our research explores the implementation of reclaimed water systems in Kathmandu, Nepal. This study collects respondents from 400 residents of Kathmandu using a systematic survey. It investigates their attitudes, preparedness, and concerns about using recovered water for home and municipal purposes. The outcomes indicate a high level of public knowledge, with a significant percentage (about 80%) acknowledging the value of recycled water. Nevertheless, only around one-third of respondents are amenable to home usage of such systems for drinkable purposes, primarily because of worries about the health and safety of the water. The study also finds that the acceptability of reclaimed water consumption positively correlates with higher educational attainment, which is essential information for policymakers concerned with urban sustainability.
From the Republic to Civil Government: Tracing the Roots of Political Thought through Plato and Locke
Authors: Tirkey C. Anupa
Published: December 2024

In the annals of Western philosophy, Plato and Locke stand out as influential thinkers, each with distinct political theories. Examining the differences between their ideas offers insight into the evolution of Western political thought. This essay aims to demonstrate the progression of political philosophy in the West by identifying and scrutinizing the core concepts in Plato's and Locke's political ideologies. Their divergent perspectives on governmental structure, personal liberties, and social contracts have profoundly influenced subsequent political discourse. Through an exploration of the fundamental principles underlying Plato's utopian state and Locke's notion of limited governance, we can observe the development of democratic principles and individual rights. This comparative analysis not only elucidates the historical trajectory of political philosophy but also offers valuable perspectives on contemporary debates surrounding governance and social organization.

Comparing Visions of Justice: Rawls' Idealism vs. Sen's Pragmatism
Authors: Tirkey C. Anupa
Published: December 2024

John Rawls and Amartya Sen are two of the most influential figures in contemporary political philosophy, offering distinct and often contrasting approaches to justice. Rawls' A Theory of Justice lays the foundation for "justice as fairness," emphasizing principles designed under a "veil of ignorance" to ensure impartiality in institutional arrangements. Sen’s The Idea of Justice, on the other hand, critiques Rawls’ idealism and advocates for a practical, outcome-oriented approach centered on comparative justice and the capabilities of individuals. This paper explores the philosophical debate between Rawls and Sen, analyzing their shared goals, points of divergence, and implications for addressing contemporary global challenges, such as economic inequality, climate change, and democratic governance.

In many regions of the world, hypertension is becoming more common. There are 74.5 million American adults older than 20 who have hypertension, although 90% of these instances have no identified etiology. The signs and symptoms of hypertension can differ from person to person and resemble those of other conditions. It is a silent killer. As a result of the high prevalence of hypertension in primary healthcare and the fact that up to 34.1% of Indonesians under the age of 18 suffer from the condition, there are an estimated 63,209,620 instances of hypertension in the country. In the meantime, there have been 427,218 cases of hypertension-related deaths in Indonesia. If left untreated, hypertension. If hypertension is not treated appropriately, it can damage blood vessels all throughout the body yet the risk of damage to the kidneys, heart, brain, and eyes is the most obvious. With the use of both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological therapy, these dangers can be avoided and reduced. Knowing how to recognize a stroke clearly can help someone who has hypertension reduce their risk of having one. This research goal is to evaluate the effects of stroke preventive education's "Stroke Path" application-based approach on hypertension patients' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. A control group and a pre-posttest quasi-experimental design are used in this investigation. The sample size was established by using the test statistic of the mean-variance variance of the two unique teams, and simple random sampling was applied as the sampling method. For the purposes of processing and analyzing statistical data, paired and independent t-tests were used in this study. Outcomes of the application-based stroke path education intervention in terms of knowledge, attitude, and behavior (p=0.000, respectively). In conclusion, application-based stroke prevention education is effective at enhancing patients' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior..
Working Capital Management and Firm Performance: Evidence from Kazakhstan

The literature on working capital management (WCM) provides mixed evidence on the
effect of working capital on firm profitability and performance. Using firms from the Kazakhstan
Stock Exchange (KASE), we examine the relationship between WCM and firms’ performance.
Particularly, we look at how working capital components relate to firms’ performance while
controlling for firm-specific and macroeconomic factors. Our findings show that the cash
conversion cycle (CCC) is inversely related to firm performance—a shorter cash conversion cycle
is associated with higher firm performance measured by ROA. We find that receivables and
inventory management significantly impact firm performance. We also find that the efficiency of
working capital management is influenced by company-specific variables such as firm size,
growth, and leverage, as well as uncontrollable macroeconomic variables such as economic growth
and inflation. Finally, we find that both the Energy and Telecommunication sectors perform
significantly better than the benchmark Consumer non-cyclical sector.
Influence of Social Factors on the Attitudes towards Purchasing Counterfeit Luxury Products in Kazakhstan
Authors:   Bang College of Business, KIMEP University, Dusupova Aisha
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate the complex attitudes of consumers toward purchasing counterfeit
luxury products. It proposes a conceptual model that examines the influence of social factors such as social
belonging, social status insecurity, and value consciousness. In addition, the model explores the moderating
social status insecurity and value consciousness effects on the relationships between the social of belonging
and between social status insecurity and attitudes toward purchasing counterfeit luxury products,
respectively. This study seeks to establish research on social factors behind purchasing counterfeit luxury
products. The survey questionnaire was distributed conveniently among the residents of Almaty via Google
Forms because it is practical considering the time and money constraints. The study sample consisted of 157
useable data, and a 6-point Likert scale was used to improve the depth of analysis by reducing neutral
responses. Despite its limitations, this methodology comprehensively explains attitudes toward counterfeit
luxury in Almaty. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical multiple regression analysis are conducted in SPSS
version 24, while AMOS is used for validity measures. The study found that negative social belonging and
the importance of quality are the primary motivators for purchasing counterfeit luxury products. Social status
insecurity influences the relationship between positive social belonging and attitudes towards counterfeit
luxury products, while value consciousness affects the effect of social status insecurity on attitudes. The
study also acknowledges the limitations and implications of the results. Several primary limitations have
been identified in this research. First, the sample size was small, with only 157 participants surveyed. A more
extensive sample could uncover deeper insights. Second, the survey was created in English and then
translated into Russian to present to respondents. The complexity of this process entails potential subtle
differences lost or distorted in translation, affecting the authenticity of the responses. Finally, the scope of
the study is also limited to the city of Almaty. A national perspective could be quite different. Perhaps
conducting similar studies in several cities could help to create a more complete picture of how attitudes
towards counterfeit luxury products manifest in Kazakhstan. Counterfeit luxury products can be risky for
consumers who value high-quality goods. Genuine products that meet the highest quality standards ensure
consumers get their money's worth and enjoy the product's benefits. Marketers should highlight the unique
features of their authentic products to aid consumers in making informed purchasing decisions. Little
research exists on the relationship between counterfeit luxury goods and social belonging, particularly in Kazakhstan, where brand product information is limited.
