More than 40 years ago eminent psychiatrist Richard Chessick penned a classic, highly prescient psychotherapy supervision paper (that appeared in this journal) in which he identified for supervisors the crucial triad of learning difficulties that tend to confront beginning therapists in their training. These are (a) dealing with the anxiety attendant to the development of psychological mindedness; (b) developing a psychotherapist identity; and (c) developing conviction about the meaningfulness of psychodynamics and psychotherapy. In this paper, I would like to revisit Chessick's seminal contribution about the teaching and learning of psychotherapy and extrapolate his triad of learning difficulties to the process of teaching and learning supervision. The process of being and becoming a psychotherapist has been likened to a developmental journey, and similarly being and becoming a supervisor is increasingly recognized as a developmental journey that is best stimulated by means of didactic and practical experiences (i.e., supervision coursework, seminars, or workshops and the supervision of supervision). In what follows, I would like to explore how Chessick's crucial triad of learning difficulties can be meaningfully extrapolated to and used to inform the supervision training situation. In extrapolating Chessick's triad, beginning supervisors or supervisor trainees can be conceptualized as confronting three critical issues: (a) dealing with the anxiety and demoralization attendant to the development of supervisory mindedness; (b) developing a supervisory identity; and (c) developing conviction about the meaningfulness of psychotherapy supervision. This triadic conceptualization appears to capture nicely core concerns that extend across the arc of the supervisor development process and provides a useful and usable way of thinking about supervisor training and informing it. Each component of the triadic conceptualization is described, and some supervisor education intervention possibilities are considered.

Background: The current study aimed to test symptom-level associations underlying the concordance of depressive symptoms in father-mother-child triads. We used network analysis to examine central and bridge symptoms in the contemporaneous depressive network of triads and additionally assessed prospective relationships in temporal depressive networks.

Methods: We included 881 father-mother-child triads with children aged 10 to 14 years from the China Family Panel Studies.

Summary: HDR is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by the triad of hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal anomalies caused by haploinsufficiency loss of function of the GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) gene. We present a case of a 56-year-old male diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, renal hypoplasia and epilepsy. Genetic testing revealed a novel GATA3 heterozygous mutation c.

Background: Aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) have similar peripheral blood manifestations and are clinically characterized by reduced hematological triad. It is challenging to distinguish and diagnose these two diseases. Hence, utilizing machine learning methods, we employed and validated an algorithm that used cell population data (CPD) parameters to diagnose AA and MDS.

Article Synopsis
  • The development of deep neural networks has led to deep learning reconstruction (DLR) CT algorithms, enhancing image creation processes by integrating deep learning at various stages of imaging.
  • DLR techniques effectively reduce image noise from lower radiation doses while maintaining image quality and diagnostic performance compared to traditional methods like filtered backprojection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR).
  • Clinical evidence supports the use of DLR algorithms for abdominal imaging across multiple tasks, showcasing their benefits, current limitations, and future prospects in CT imaging.
