May 1st 2024, 00:14

Group Analysis, Ahead of Print. Social identities play a significant role in the development of personality and various disorders and challenges. In addition, they play an important role in the encounter between representatives of different social groups and can add to personality and interpersonal perspectives to group dynamics. Despite their significance, exploration of social identities occurs mainly in the realms of social psychology and post-colonialist theories and not so much in psychoanalysis, which favours the individual perspective over the social.Foulkes, the founder of group analysis, started a revolution in the field of psychoanalysis when he focussed on the social world and its significant influence on development. However, some of his successors argued that due to political and other reasons, Foulkes did not ‘follow through’ with his own theory and in his therapy groups he did not put sufficient emphasis on exploration of social identities and power relations.This article reviews the concept of social identities through four theoretical disciplines: social psychology, psychoanalysis, postcolonial theories and group analysis. A vignette from an analytic group that has been meeting for two years and coped with the meeting of different social identities in the complex Israeli reality will be discussed.

Apr 30th 2024, 23:14

Probation Journal, Ahead of Print. Desistance from crime is a priority for criminal justice policy and practice yet the term carries varying definitions across research literature. Contemporary discourses promote a refocusing from desistance’s representation as an individual’s personal journey, to understanding desistance more akin to a social movement. Research has predominantly focused on the lived experience of those striving to achieve desistance, with practitioner perspectives remaining under researched. This study, conducted post COVID-19, aimed to explore and evaluate how probation officers operationalise desistance in practice. Outcomes evidence that whilst practitioners acknowledge the diverse conceptualisations of desistance, it remains a priority in practice, even where the focus is predominantly risk management. Key practice features emerging as essential to promoting desistance include identifying and cultivating a motivation to change, approaches to forming the supervisory relationship and how practitioner’s respond when risks increase. A supporting organisational ethos is critical but challenged in the complex post COVID-19 context.

Apr 30th 2024, 22:14

Group Processes &Intergroup Relations, Ahead of Print. Although social dominance orientation (SDO) and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) often predict similar outcomes, their respective motivations to reinforce inequality and mitigate threat are ostensibly incompatible with attempts to manage a pandemic. We test the potential countervailing associations SDO and RWA have with COVID-19 attitudes in a nationwide random sample of New Zealand adults (N = 31,025). As hypothesized, SDO and RWA had countervailing associations with most COVID-19 attitudes, including believing the health risks were exaggerated; trust in and satisfaction with the government; compliance with various health directives; and getting information from mainstream media and the government. Nevertheless, SDO and RWA both correlated positively with getting information from social media, believing COVID-19 was laboratory-created, worrying about catching the virus, confidence in recovering from COVID-19, and ruminating about the pandemic. Collectively, these results suggest that people who prefer hierarchies may oppose COVID-19 containment efforts, whereas authoritarians may support such measures.

Apr 30th 2024, 21:59

Artificial intelligence is making progress in the medical arena. When it comes to imaging techniques and the calculation of health risks, there is a plethora of AI methods in development and testing phases. Wherever it is a matter of recognizing patterns in large data volumes, it is expected that machines will bring great benefit to humanity. Following the classical model, the AI compares information against learned examples, draws conclusions, and makes extrapolations.

Apr 30th 2024, 20:22

Teaching of Psychology, Ahead of Print. BackgroundPast research on the representation of religion/spirituality in introductory psychology textbooks is dated.ObjectiveAnalyze religion/spirituality content in the nine most frequently purchased introductory psychology textbooks published within the last 5 years.MethodThe current study identified 27 terms that related to religion/spirituality and performed qualitative analysis of term’s mentions in each textbook.ResultsFindings indicated that 100% of textbooks mentioned religion/spirituality, which represents an increase in mentions compared to past research. However, none of the textbooks included a specific section on the psychology of religion and spirituality. Overall, there was greater discussion-based coverage of religion/spirituality than research-based coverage, similar to past research findings, although the current study found a greater percentage of research-based discussion than previous research. Compared to past research, the current study found a greater proportion of positive coverage of religious/spiritual mentions but found that most textbooks included negative coverage of religious/spiritual mentions representing rare phenomena associated with religion/spirituality.ConclusionThis study provides evidence that coverage of religion/spirituality is better represented in introductory psychology textbooks than past research, but organization and inclusion is still lacking.Teaching ImplicationsReligion/spirituality content could be better organized in textbooks by including a specific section dedicated to the psychology of religion and spirituality.

Apr 30th 2024, 19:12

Chronic Illness, Ahead of Print. ObjectivesTo assess the quality assurance of a specialist palliative care clinic focused on chronic diseases and explore the satisfaction and acceptability of the telemedicine model amongst patients and caregivers.MethodsA cross-sectional 23-item survey was developed by the clinical team, approved by ethics and distributed to patients and caregivers. Data collection ran between September 2021 and February 2022, and SPSS was used for data analysis. Demographics were collected from hospital records.ResultsThirty-five surveys were returned. The cohort had a median age of 82 years, and the most common primary diagnosis was renal failure. Participants rated telemedicine as easier to access than face-to-face appointments due to convenience. Telemedicine was rated highly for future utility, with video consultations being perceived as more useful than telephone consultations. Participants responded overwhelmingly well towards the clinic.DiscussionFindings demonstrated high levels of satisfaction with the Supportive Care Clinic model and for telemedicine. However, logistical challenges and the desire for face-to-face appointments were also identified. The study highlights the importance of offering a range of modalities for patient engagement in healthcare services and suggests that telemedicine should complement, rather than replace, face-to-face consultations. Future investigations should explore patient and caregiver sentiment towards telemedicine platforms alongside patient deterioration.

Apr 30th 2024, 18:33

Qualitative Social Work, Ahead of Print. BackgroundBuilding friendship is crucial for attaining and upholding recovery from problematic substance use. However, how people who have used substances problematically develop friendships needs to be investigated more from a first-person perspective.AimTo provide insight into how people in long-term recovery find meaning in their experience of building friendships.MethodIn semi-structured interviews, 17 people in recovery drew network maps and reflected on how friendships had developed during the long-term process. We analysed the narratives by way of a thematic narrative approach.ResultsParticipants presented the friendship-formation process through four distinct storylines: (1) ‘I don’t make friends easily’; (2) overcoming barriers to building friendships; (3) ‘birds of a feather flock together’; and (4) ‘having “regular” friends makes me feel like an “average” person’.ConclusionPeople in long-term recovery from problematic substance use felt haunted and hindered by past experiences when building friendships. These experiences created a social divide between those who had experienced problematic substance use and those who had not. The valuable insights that social workers can gain from this study can support friendship development for people in long-term recovery on multiple levels. By understanding someone’s self-perceptions and their perspectives on others, social workers can engage with barriers when people in recovery enter social environments such as work. We emphasise the significance of a long-term approach to overcoming barriers to building new friendships.

Apr 30th 2024, 17:11

Administration &Society, Ahead of Print. Scholarly attention has predominantly focused on citizens’ evaluations of public service organizations that deliver government-funded services, particularly in a single-sector public service provision. As a result, we have limited understanding of how multisectoral provision operates from a citizens’ perspective. Against this backdrop, this study explores how citizens disparately evaluate their providers, which varies according to their preferred sector in multisectoral public service provision. Using a nationwide observational survey on Korean public childcare, where citizens’ sector-based preferences have long been recognized, the findings reveal that parents’ evaluations of providers were contingent on their preferred sector types. The evidence contributes to a more nuanced understanding of citizens’ evaluations of services in multisectoral public service provision.

Apr 30th 2024, 16:11

Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, Ahead of Print. This study used a single-subject design to determine the effectiveness of the Cool versus Not Cool (CNC) discrimination procedure to teach social skills to three young adults with autism. The CNC procedure was administered remotely during this study. The specific social skills targeted were asking open-ended questions and responding appropriately to a conversation partner’s answers. All participants significantly increased the accuracy of the targeted social skills after receiving the intervention. The skills also maintained at relatively high levels once the intervention was removed. Future research and implications are discussed.
