Canada's Commercial Relationship with Asia
Since the heyday of consciousness in Canada during the of the Asia in 1997, when Canada served as chair of Asia- Pacific Economic Cooperation, there has been a sense that Canada's economic relationship with Asia has languished, or at least has not lived up to its potential. This perspective has taken root even as the people-to-people linkages between Canada and Asia have widened and deepened through immigration, academic and student exchanges, to…
Elements of Behavioral Health Intervention in Geriatric Long-Term Care Settings
The somewhat alarming incidence of mental disorders among institutionalized elderly persons has necessitated improved ways of dealing with their behavioral health needs. Because conventional psychotherapy has not been feasible with this population, alternative types of behavioral health interventions have been suggested. The present paper lists a number of elements which may be helpful in delivering focused behavioral health services to residents…
Elements of Critical Incident Debriefing
The present paper lists a number of specific therapeutic steps involved in critical incident debriefing. These therapeutic suggestions, while by no means exhaustive, include (a) identification, (b) labeling, (c) articulation, (d) expression, (e) externalization, (f) ventilation, (g) validation, and (h) acceptance. More careful attention to these specific elements--regardless of debriefers' training and backgrounds--might improve therapeutic consi…
Relation of Birth Order and Scores on Measures of Pathological Narcissism
To study the relationship between birth order and pathological narcissism, it was predicted that firstborn and only children would score significantly higher on standardized measures of pathological narcissism. Two such measures, the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, were administered to 50 randomly selected subjects from a metropolitan mental health and family treatment agency. Subjects were asked t…
Intellectual Property and International Trade
Historically, there has always been a clash of interests between originators and users of patents and other intellectual property rights. This paper provides an overview of the economic issues behind the intellectual property rights bargain domestically and internationally, now one of the key areas on negotiation in the current Uruguay round. Résumé La propriété intelletuelle et le commerce international Historiquement, il y a toujours eu un conf…
Factors in Sexual Abuse of Children
Despite current attention to ostensibly widespread sexual abuse of children less emphasis has been directed toward identifying factors which might contribute. Accountability of professionals under mandatory reporting laws in many states now requires protection of children against inadvertent or calculated varieties of abuse. The present discussion lists factors such as family dysfunction, psychopathology, substance abuse, social ineptitude, withd…
Considerations in Diagnosis and Management of Violent Behavior
Accountability of psychotherapists and other health-care professionals has now been extended to the prediction and control of violent behavior. Professional and public liability requires mental health practitioners to develop more reliable methods by which violent behavior may be diagnosed, managed with effective strategies, and ultimately prevented. The present paper lists a number of verifiable elements, e.g., (a) diagnosis, (b) availability of…
Elements of Prognosis in Psychotherapy
The present paper examined a number of elements which may be used to estimate patients' prognoses in psychotherapy. Since increased professional accountability requires therapists to deliver more consistent therapeutic results, it may be helpful to evaluate—in advance of protracted treatments—patients' suitability to receive psychotherapy. In so doing, efficacy might be enhanced since patients with unfavorable prognostic signs can be apprised of …
Diagnosis and Management of Suicidal Behavior
The present discussion examines a number of elements which seem to be involved in suicidal behavior. Despite the various situational and personality determinants which may contribute to suicidal behavior, it was noted that many clinicians attribute this self-destructive pattern to depression and often administer the prescribed treatment, i.e., antidepressant medications and psychotherapy. It was suggested that because suicidal behavior is so mala…
Effect of Counselors' Self-References on Subjects' First Impressions in an Experimental Psychological Interview
The present study examined the relationship between counselors' self-disclosure and clients' impressions of the counselors' empathy, competence and trustworthiness. 87 subjects were randomly selected and assigned to one of three disclosure conditions, personal self-reference, indirect self-reference, and no self-reference. Subjects read written dialogues then rated the counselors on these qualities using three standardized relationship inventorie…
Comparison of Defense Mechanisms Utilized in Perception by Congenitally Blind and Sighted Respondents
The present study examined specific defense mechanisms involved in perceptions of congenitally blind and sighted respondents. The Defense Mechanism Inventory was given 30 blind and 30 sighted subjects, randomly selected. One-way analyses of variance on specific defenses indicated nonsignificant differences between the groups who tended to show comparable patterns of ego defenses. Findings suggest any discrepancies in perception between such group…
Motivational Techniques for Individual and Group Psychotherapy
A number of techniques are mentioned which may be utilized to improve patients' motivation during psychotherapy. Since patients' over-all motivation seems decisive in eventual therapeutic outcome and since inadequate motivation combined with resistance factors might exacerbate patients' ultimate prognoses, if not continuation in treatment, supporting patients' motivation to do the therapeutic work should prove beneficial in all phases of therapy.…
Elements of Pathological Love Relationships
The present discussion specifies a number of elements which seem to be involved in functional and pathological relationships. Since the stability of such relationships may be attributable to the manner in which “love” is transacted and interchanged, it seems advisable for the clinician to utilize a more precise set of criteria against which both adaptive and maladaptive relationships may be appraised and therapeutically managed. In this context, …

Styles of Dealing with Hostility
The ineffectual management of hostility and other comparable emotions has been identified as an unfavorable factor affecting the prognosis of an individual's over-all adjustment as well as the eventual outcome of psychotherapy. The present discussion enunciates 5 commonly practiced styles or methods by which hostility is handled, namely, those of (a) evasion, (b) containment, (c) displacement, (d) indirect expression, and (e) direct expression. T…
Principles and Techniques of Non-Disclosure by the Therapist during Psychotherapy
The current controversy between the psychodynamic and humanistic-existential perspectives of psychotherapy has involved the use of self-disclosure by the therapist. This practice is uniformly contraindicated in the former and consistently recommended in the latter. Less attention has been paid, however, to specifying the systematic procedures by which a “blank screen” orientation—a posture in which the clinician's anonymity is maintained—is imple…
Emotional Elements of Mental Illness
Traditional theories of mental illness have attributed causality to such widely divergent views as intrapsychic mechanisms, biological processes, and interpersonal events. Popular medical explanations in which organicity has been ruled out have often attributed aberrant behavior and symptom formation to atavistic notions like “nerves” and more recently to concepts like “stress.” The “stress hypothesis,” enunciated by Selye, views maladaptive beha…
A Linkage Theory of Personality and Psychotherapy
Escalation in the practice of psychotherapy over the past 40 years has generated a multiplicity of theories, techniques, and practices. Many of these, however, have remained mutually exclusive—since they stemmed from different philosophies of treatment—and provide a somewhat desultory assortment from which the clinician is required to choose. Despite the marked differences among these systems of treatment, less emphasis has been directed toward i…
Determinants of the Therapeutic Bond
The present discussion enunciates several determinants which influence the degree to which bonding (between patient and therapist) takes place within a psychotherapeutic interaction. These parameters have been sometimes regarded as “innate” or “untrainable” since they remained unspecified and were therefore heeded differently by different therapists. More careful attention to these verifiable dimensions might help minimize the likelihood of prema…
Indications and Contraindications in the Use of Therapist's Self-Disclosure
The present discussion enunciates the indications and contraindications in the use of therapist's self-disclosure as a technique, method, or procedure in psychotherapy. The controversy regarding the distinctions between counseling and psychotherapy presumably stemmed from Rogers' (1951) introduction of a method of treatment which deviated markedly from classical psychotherapeutic techniques. Perhaps the most salient divergence and radical departu…
Effect of Therapist's Self-Disclosure on Patients' Impressions of Empathy, Competence, and Trust in an Analogue of a Psychotherapeutic Interaction
The present study examined the relationship between a therapist's self-disclosure and the patients' impressions of the therapist's empathy, competence, and trust. Written dialogues were constructed to manipulate three conditions of high, low, and no disclosure by the therapist. 57 subjects were randomly selected and assigned to one of three treatment conditions, and the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory and Sorenson Relationship Questionnair…
