Conceptualizing a less paranoid schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia stands as one of the most studied and storied disorders in the history of clinical psychology; however, it remains a nexus of conflicting and competing conceptualizations. Patients endure great stigma, poor treatment outcomes, and condemnatory prognosis. Current conceptualizations suffer from unstable categorical borders, heterogeneity in presentation, outcome and etiology, and holes in etiological models.

Rediscovering Interpersonal Punctuation.

The term in psychotherapy refers to narrative decisions about when a problem started and who should be held accountable for it. The concept was once a staple of family and systems therapies, but it has largely fallen into disuse. Its near disappearance coincided with the declining interest in those therapeutic approaches rather than as the result of direct attacks on the concept's validity or usefulness.

Cognitions That Support Concussion Reporting in Collegiate Athletes: An Analysis of a Worksheet Activity.

Background: Sports related concussions continue to be a public health concern and improving reporting behavior a focus of educational programs. While educational programs have addressed changes in knowledge of concussion symptoms, it has been challenging to design educational programs which have lasting effects on reporting behavior.

Aims: The current analysis describes an intervention in which thoughts about reporting behavior are actively written down in a worksheet exercise to "pre-arm" athletes with cognitions designed to enhance reporting behavior prior to the injury event.

Psychometric properties of concussion knowledge and cognitive mediators of reporting measures.

: Concussion education and prevention programs require reliable and valid instruments to evaluate the theory, mechanisms, and outcome of these interventions : To assess the psychometric properties of measures evaluating concussion education and prevention programs: Descriptive epidemiological Setting: 10 NCAA-member universities : 841 student-athletes in an RCT control group testing an ecological, peer-led concussion education program : Instruments adapted for assessing concussion knowledge and Theory of Planned Behavior/Theory of Reasoned Action (TPB/TRA) cognitive mediators of reporting behavior (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control, and intentions to report concussion). Participants completed measures at baseline, after one hour, and after one month : Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were moderate for both the concussion knowledge and cognitive mediator measures. TPB/TRA was supported subscale intercorrelation and item factor analysis in the cognitive mediator scale.

Synthetic Lethal Targeting of Mitotic Checkpoints in HPV-Negative Head and Neck Cancer.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) affect more than 800,000 people annually worldwide, causing over 15,000 deaths in the US. Among HNSCC cancers, human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative HNSCC has the worst outcome, motivating efforts to improve therapy for this disease. The most common mutational events in HPV-negative HNSCC are inactivation of the tumor suppressors (>85%) and (>57%), which significantly impairs G1/S checkpoints, causing reliance on other cell cycle checkpoints to repair ongoing replication damage.

How do supportive techniques bring about therapeutic change: The role of therapeutic alliance as a potential mediator.

Although supportive techniques play an important role in supportive-expressive psychodynamic psychotherapy, little is known about the mechanisms responsible for their effect on treatment success. In this study, we propose and investigate a model according to which the mechanism of change underlying the effect of supportive techniques on therapeutic improvement is the strengthening of the therapeutic alliance. According to the proposed mediation model, the implementation of supportive techniques brings about strengthening in the alliance, which in turn results in subsequent reduction in symptoms.
