Understanding female survivors of interpersonal trauma and their experience of the ‘Survive & Thrive’ course

Survive & Thrive (S&T) is a psychoeducational course designed for survivors of interpersonal trauma which utilizes cognitive behavioural skills training while delivering psychoeducation on how a history of victimization…
On the impulse to impart
On the Impulse to impart is about communication and language. Communication is a fundamental group-analytic theme and one on which S.H. Foulkes laid great and repeated emphasis. I look at their parts in group-analysis, how they may have originated and evolved, and at an experiment that appears to confirm Foulkes’ belief in language being the defining human attribute

Drug network identification predicts injecting risk behavior among people who inject drugs on hepatitis C virus treatment in Tayside, Scotland
The risk of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) acquisition among People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) remains high when injecting risk behavior within networks endures. Several psychosocial factors influence such behavior. Following a drive within Tayside, a geographic region in Scotland, to achieve World Health Organization HCV elimination targets, addressing HCV re-infection risk as a barrier to elimination is critically important. This cross-sectional study se…

On the Primordial Origins of Group Analysis and their Relation to the Creative Nature of Humanity
Of Foulkes’ Four Levels of interaction (Therapeutic Group Analysis, 1964: 114) the primordial has received the least notice, despite it being the foundation for the others. This article explores where this category may have originated and then presents a digest of anthropological research into human social group origins, and their relation to group-analysis and current human concerns

Art for Foulkes’ Sake or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Trust the Group
This article addresses the title of the GASI’s 15th Symposium in Lisbon, ‘Group-Analysis as Art and Science’. It is eclectic and seeks to expose some fallacies in certain areas of practice and theory, and questions the trend towards medico-technological practice rather than valuing group analysis as a creative practice that contains much more for its participants than mere ‘recovery’. The underlying argument is that the process-art of the group t…

Stress, satisfaction and role conflict in dual-doctor partnerships
Stress in doctors has major implications for themselves, their family and patients. In dual-doctor partnerships, stress may or may not be compounded. Previous studies have suggested that demands of work have a greater impact on home life than vice versa, and that there may be a gender difference in stress between work and home. This study compared perceived stress, satisfaction and conflict for professional males and females working in dual-docto…
Bullying and victimisation in Scottish secondary schools
Previous research has suggested that bullying is an increasingly severe problem in schools. Such research has approached the phenomenon from two different angles. Earlier research has treated bullying and victimisation as separate entities. However, current research suggests that bullies and victims engage in a special dynamic and interactive relationship, thereby providing the need for studying any similarities and differences between bullies an…

In memoriam Enrique García Díez
To say good-bye is a graceless act. Grief is an intmate and prvate act. And there are, of course, no words for loss. Everything falls into silence... Enrique Garca Diez was a cise friend and life provides very few such occasons of friendship. The time for anecdotes and memories may come. There are no beginnings, no ends, just torn addresses, and the endless sweeping movement of the river. The qualities of the man are numerous and valuable to us a…
Comparison of sexual behaviour and risk of HIV transmission of Scottish inmates, with or without a history of intravenous drug use
The sexual behaviour and intravenous drug use (IVDU) of a sample of 559 inmates (480 males and 79 females) was investigated. Sexual behaviour and IVDU prior to imprisonment, during imprisonment, and that expected after release, was assessed. Alterations in sexual behaviour as a means of HIV risk reduction was also assessed in relation to IVDU status. Prior to imprisonment most IVDUs and non-IVDUs engaged in unprotected intercourse. Sexual behavio…
Concern, perceived risk and attitudes towards HIV/Aids in Scottish prisons
Four hundred and eighty male prisoners and 500 male staff from 7 Scottish prisons took part in a study assessing perception of risk and attitudes towards HIV/AIDS. Prison staff were found to perceive prison as a higher-risk environment for HIV/AIDS than outside prison, whereas prisoners perceived the opposite. Prisoners perceived less personal risk of HIV/AIDS inside prison than staff. Staff and prisoner concern towards HIV/AIDS was greater than …

Level of coping ability was not related to whether or not …

Within the context of a national study on the prevalence of male inmates' HIV-risk behaviour, we present data regarding the HIV-related knowledge of a sub sample of inmates in terms of modes of HIV transmission, methods of HIV prevention and risks of HIV transmission within prison. The sample comprised a randomly selected group of 242 inmates from the Greek prison with the largest inmate population. Inmates appeared highly knowledgeable regarding…

Breast self-examination (BSE) is a method of early detection of breast cancer. Although BSE is recommended for all women, it is mostly suitable and readily available for younger women. BSE beliefs and practices of women in Scotland, a country with organised health campaigns about BSE, were compared with those of women in Greece, a country without such campaigns. Our sample consisted of 68 university students in Scotland and Greece, aged 18 to 26 …
