A Brief Cognitive Behavioural Intervention for Parents of Anxious Children
Psychological intervention priorities according to perinatal women who experienced suicidal thoughts and perinatal mental health professionals
This is the first study using Q-methodology to explore the psychological intervention priorities of mothers and professionals. Findings indicate clear priorities in terms of planning and coping during a crisis, endorsed by all participants, and provide an initial step in the development of a new perinatal suicide prevention intervention
What is important to service users and staff when implementing suicide-focused psychological therapies for people with psychosis into mental health services
Whilst all stakeholders viewed a suicide-focused therapy as valuable for people experiencing psychosis, they also recognize that enabling successful implementation of such interventions will require additional training, flexibility, and resources to existing services
A systematic investigation of the short and long term experiences of taking part in research about suicidal thoughts and acts in the context of a randomised controlled trial
Partaking in studies about suicide can be a positive experience. There is also evidence of some negative impacts in the days immediately following participation. No research has examined both the short and longer term effects of repeated assessment of an individual's suicidal thoughts/behaviours. Clinical trials can involve multiple suicide assessments over several months. The current study investigated whether participants experienced any brief …
Understanding self-harm urges and behavior amongst non-binary young adults
Introduction This study aims to gain a greater understanding of self-harm amongst non-binary young adults and what helps to manage these urges.Method Data was collected from 11 participant interviews and analyzed in line with grounded theory principles.Results Findings highlighted how factors associated with growing up feeling outside of the binary, family discord, and the pain of living in a cisnormative society were associated with self-harm. R…
The inter-connections between self-harm and aggressive behaviours
Dual harm is the co-occurrence of self-harm and aggression during an individual's lifetime. This behaviour is especially prevalent within criminal justice and forensic settings. The forms of aggression that should be included in the definition of dual harm have not yet been established. This study aimed to use network analysis to inform an evidence-based definition of dual harm by assessing the relationship between self-harm and different forms o…
Involving an individual with lived‐experience in a co‐analysis of qualitative data
BACKGROUND: People with lived-experience of the phenomenon under investigation are seldom involved in the analysis of qualitative data, and there exists little guidance for those wishing to involve contributors at this stage of research. AIMS: To critically reflect on the process of involving people with lived-experience in a thematic analysis and to offer direction to other researchers. METHODS: An individual with lived-experience of residing in…
A Cross-Sectional Study Investigating the Relationship Between Alexithymia and Suicide, Violence, and Dual Harm in Male Prisoners
Background: Suicide and violence are common within male prisoners. One suggested risk factor for both behaviors is alexithymia. Alexithymia describes a deficit in identifying and describing feelings and is also related to externally oriented thinking. This study aimed to explore the relationship between alexithymia, suicide, violence and dual harm in male prisoners. Methods: Eighty male prisoners were recruited from three prisons. Participants we…
The Relationship between the Therapeutic Alliance and Suicidal Experiences in People with Psychosis Receiving Therapy
Few studies have examined the relationship between the therapeutic alliance in therapy and suicidal experiences. No studies have examined this relationship with people with non-affective psychosis. The present study sought to redress this gap in the literature. Sixty-four participants with non-affective psychosis and suicidal experiences who were receiving a suicide-focused cognitive therapy were recruited. Self-reported suicidal ideation, suicid…
Attachment Security and Suicide Ideation and Behaviour
This study shows that the attachment dimensions of attachment anxiety and avoidance may play differential roles in increasing risk for suicidal attempts versus ideation. This has important implications for tailoring interventions. Those aimed at reducing suicide attempts should focus on reducing attachment anxiety by helping people develop skills in emotional regulation. Interventions aimed at reducing suicidal ideation should focus on reducing a…
Metacognitive Beliefs and Suicidal Ideation
The current study aimed to examine the relationship between metacognitive beliefs about suicidal ideation and the content and process of suicidal ideation. This was to examine the potential contribution of the Self-Regulatory Executive Function (S-REF) model (Wells and Matthew, 2015) to suicidal ideation. Twenty-seven participants completed both trait and state-level measures of suicidal ideation, negative affect, defeat, hopelessness, entrapment…
Environmentally friendly and socially responsible investment in and by occupational pension funds in the USA and in the EU
Worldwide pension funds, in their capacity as large institutional investors, are under increasing pressure to take social and environmental considerations into account in their investment decision-making process. The concepts Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and Environmental Social Governance (ESG) are indeed ubiquitous in the current investment and pension community. This article aims to provide some insight into the conceptual relationshi…
Words Don't Come Easy
Suicide and violence are prevalent within male prisons in the UK. It has been suggested that alexithymia may be associated with both suicide and violence. Alexithymia can be defined as an inability to identify or discuss emotions. The present study aimed to qualitatively explore male prisoners' experiences of alexithymia and how these experiences may relate to suicide and violence. Fifteen male prisoners were recruited from two prisons in the Nor…
A comparative analysis of the information duties in Belgian and American occupational pensions
Both the United States of America and Belgium attach great importance to communication duties in occupational pensions. Several legal sources in both countries provide the right to be informed to participants. The legislation in both countries seeks to ensure accurate, correct, transparent and understandable communication. Despite this resemblance, there are some differences in communication. The countries can learn from one another. Based on a t…

Improving the quality of prison research
BACKGROUND: Suicide is the leading cause of avoidable death in prisons worldwide and suicide prevention is an international priority. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop evidence-based treatments. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of a novel suicide prevention psychological therapy for male prisoners. To promote ecological validity by addressing the "real-world" situation of suicidal prisoners, we involved a consultant group…
The making of the Second English Coronation Ordo
This article reassesses the Second English Coronation Ordo in the light of its relationship to Carolingian sources. The dependence of the Ordo on a distinctive West Frankish source, here termed the Leiden Ordo , has many implications, since the Leiden Ordo seems likely to have been composed for the anointing of Charles the Straightforward by Fulk of Rheims in January 893. This finding provides a probable context for the importing of West Frankish…
Constructionism and the space of reasons
Constructionism, best known as the framework for action underpinning Seymour Papert’s work with Logo, has stressed the importance of engaging students in creating their own products. Noss and Hoyles have argued that such activity enables students to participate increasingly in a web of connections to further their activity. Ainley and Pratt have elaborated that learning is best facilitated when the student is engaged in a purposeful activity that…
Kings and books in Anglo-Saxon England
This article examines the evidence for books associated with kings in Anglo-Saxon England, making the case for the ninth century as the key period of change. A wide variety of books were probably present in the household of later Anglo-Saxon kings. There was a degree of connection between the gift of books by kings and practices of ownership. The donation of gospel-books to favoured churches played a distinctive role, emphasizing the king's posit…
Demesne Exemption from Royal Taxation in Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman England
The dominant model for the interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon rural economy was advanced by Rosamond Faith in 1997. Central to Faith’s study is the distinction which she makes between the conditions of ‘inland’, the land held in direct management by the landholder, and the conditions of what she identifies as ‘warland’, land occupied by peasant tenants.1 This distinction forms the basis of Faith’s view of later Anglo-Saxon lordship.2 Lightly burde…
The voice of the king in ‘King Edgar's Establishment of Monasteries’
The Old English text by Æthelwold, bishop of Winchester, known as ‘King Edgar's Establishment of Monasteries’ ( EEM ) is here viewed as an expression of royal ideology. The article argues that the final section of EEM , in the first person, should be interpreted as words attributed to Edgar himself. This re-reading strengthens the case for dating EEM to the period 966 x c . 970, and for suspecting a female audience. It is argued that EEM accompan…

The Sovereign State of Language
At one point in Lonnie Carter's Sovereign State of Danielle says, The Judge is obfuscating. ' This sense of frustration reflects the one we feel upon entering the realm of Boogedy Boogedy. For much of the play, Carter seems to obfuscate at the reader's expense. It affords some, but little, comfort to recognize that the author deliberately fosters, even nurtures, the play's confusion. confusion serves, if anything, as a starting point. Sovereign S…

The illnesses of King Alfred the Great
It is an index perhaps of changing historiographical trends that the importance of Alfred's illnesses in the moulding of his outlook, both as a layman and as a king, now hardly needs to be emphasized. In the course of the 1990s, Alfred became gradually better understood as a man of the 890s. Yet Victorian sensibilities have died hard. Both Plummer and Stevenson detected an ‘atmosphere of morbid religiosity’ in Asser's account of Alfred's illnesse…
