Partners' experiences of their loved ones' trauma and PTSD: An ongoing journey of loss and gain.

Background: Traumatic life events can have a profound impact on the physical and psychological wellbeing of not only those who directly experience them, but others who are indirectly affected, such as victims' partners.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the experiences and views of partners of individuals who have a history of trauma and diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Methods: In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with six partners of people who had experienced trauma and were diagnosed with PTSD and awaiting or receiving treatment at a specialist Trauma Service.

The Experience of Mentalization-Based Treatment: An Interpretative Phenomenological Study.

The construct of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) as an explanation of an individual's experience is generally accepted in the literature but has recently been called into question. This study adopted a qualitative stance to offer an alternative to this accepted view. Six individuals undergoing Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) participated and their data was analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).

Idealism and materialism in perception.

Koenderink (2014, Perception, 43, 1-6) has said most Perception readers are deluded, because they believe an 'All Seeing Eye' observes an objective reality. We trace the source of Koenderink's assertion to his metaphysical idealism, and point to two major weaknesses in his position-namely, its dualism and foundationalism. We counter with arguments from modern philosophy of science for the existence of an objective material reality, contrast Koenderink's enactivism to his idealism, and point to ways in which phenomenology and cognitive science are complementary and not mutually exclusive.

Can we risk recovery? A grounded theory of clinical psychologists' perceptions of risk and recovery-oriented mental health services.

Objectives: This study sought to explore the views of clinical psychologists towards the concepts of 'risk' and 'recovery' and to set those views against the context of mental health services.

Design: An exploratory, social constructionist grounded theory methodology was adopted.

Methods: Eleven clinical psychologists working in adult mental health services each participated in one individual semistructured interview.

Therapists' experience of loss: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.

This qualitative study aimed to explore therapists' experiences of loss. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 therapists and the data were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three master themes emerged from the analysis: (a) the grieving therapist, (b) hindrances in grieving, and (c) the impact of loss on therapeutic work.

Perceptions of support-seeking in young people attending a Youth Offending Team: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.

High levels of mental health problems have been identified in young people who have offended (committed/been convicted of a criminal offence). However, as with many young people, they tend not to seek support for their difficulties. This research aimed to explore support-seeking in this population by asking 'What are the perceptions of support-seeking in young people attending a Youth Offending Team?' Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six males (aged 13-18) and the transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Service user involvement in clinical guideline development and implementation: learning from mental health service users in the UK.

The participation of service users and the public in the development of clinical guidelines is increasingly valued in international guideline programmes. This paper extends the findings of Harding et al.'s (2010) exploration of the views of service users who participated in developing NICE mental health guidelines.

A way of being: bringing mindfulness into individual therapy.

This paper reports a qualitative, idiographic study employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore the experiences of therapists who have a mindfulness practice, looking at how this is brought into their individual therapeutic work. Findings focus on mindfulness, conceptualized as a way of being, which emerges as a central theme in all accounts. Three "way of being" related themes are used to illustrate therapists' experiences of mindfulness as part of their personal life and how this is brought into the therapy room both implicitly and explicitly.

Group person-based cognitive therapy for distressing voices: views from the hearers.

This study investigated the experiences of people who received a contemporary form of cognitive therapy for distressing voices. Eighteen people who heard distressing voices participated in an 8-session person-based cognitive therapy (PBCT) group and were then interviewed to elicit their experiences from the group. Data were gathered during a series of five posttherapy focus groups based on a semistructured interview schedule.

Service user perceptions of involvement in developing NICE mental health guidelines: A grounded theory study.

Background And Aims: Although the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) mandates service user involvement in developing treatment guidelines, questions arise concerning appropriate mechanisms of involvement and its impact. This study sought to elicit users' perceptions of their involvement.

Method: Grounded theory was used to analyse transcripts from interviews with 10 service user guideline development group representatives.

Can easy-to-read immunization information increase knowledge in urban low-income mothers?

This article describes a pilot study that (1) assessed the self-report of highest grade completed in school and the actual reading and comprehension skills of low-income mothers whose children receive immunizations in urban public clinics and (2) tested the effectiveness of a nursing intervention on immunization knowledge using revised easy-to-read written education materials. Thirty-seven mothers were randomized either to a control group (asked to read the standard vaccine information sheets) or to an experimental group (asked to read the revised immunization pamphlets). Although there was a modest increase in immunization knowledge for both groups, it was not significant.
