Using research we start to understand our work in a new way, we allow new insights to come into awareness. As Gestalt therapists, and moreover as trainers or people involved in organizations, we have the responsibility for having a vision for the future. Our vision is that Gestalt therapists enter more and more into dialogue with the wider community of psychotherapists. That they can raise their voice and listen to others in order to teach and learn from each other. That Gestalt therapy fully participates in the movements, developments and the growth of the psychotherapy community.

Iako je instrument u upotrebi već nekoliko decenija, podaci o latentnoj strukturi ovih dvadeset indikatora psihopatije nisu jednoznačni. U literaturi je opisano nekoliko empirijski deriviranih struktura PCL-R-a: jednofaktorski model koji operacionalizuje psihopatiju kao unitarni, jednodimezionalni konstrukt; dvofaktorski koji razlikuje endogene psihopatske karakteristike ličnosti i bihejvioralne obrasce ispoljavanja psihopatije; trofaktorski model u kome su kao sržne psihopatske crte postavljene manipulativni interpersonalni stil, emocionalna površnost i impulsivnost; četvoro-faktorski model koji pored prethodno navedenih crta u sebi inkorporira i antisocijalno ponašanje individua.Podaci dobijeni u prethodnom istraživanju o latentnoj strukturi psihopatije merene preko PCL-R-a u Srbiji nisu podržali...

Резултати су пока-зали више статистички значајних веза између независности и међузависности с једне и карактеристика пријатељских односа с друге стране. Све добијене везе су биле слабе, али по смеру у складу са теоријским очекивањима. Додатно, до-бијени су резултати који говоре у прилог поузданости и конструктивне валидно-сти скала СЦС-а на нашем узорку.

Study purported to examine relations between attachment and basic personality structure, in a sample of 203 respondents. Romantic adult attachment was measured by the Experience in Close Relationship Scale, basic personality structure was assessed by the NEO-PI-R personality inventory, and Disintegration, which represents operationalization of Schizotypy as a basic personality trait, was estimated by the Delta 10 test. The results of Principal component analysis showed that attachment dimensions are not separate constructs in relation to basic personality traits. Furthermore, results indicate that attachment dimensions represent emotional dysregulation in close interpersonal relationships, because positive correlations are found between dimensions of Attachment and Mania (.35), Anxiety (.51) and Depression (.55). Negative correlations have been obtained between A...

However, the relationship between resilience and criminal victimization has not been studied very much, despite the importance of resilience in understanding this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to present some of the definitions of resilience and criminal victimization. Also, possible contribution of resilience in understanding the phenomenon of criminal victimization is discussed.

Participants completed ARP (Adversity Response Profile), PMP (Personal Meaning Profile) and TABS (Trauma and Attachment Belief Scale). The results showed that both personal meaning and resilience level are negatively related to the vicarious traumatization level of a therapist. Personal meaning was found to mediate the relationship between resilience and vicarious traumatization. On the level of subscales, personal meaning of relationships with others was the sole most important predictor of resilience.

HEXACO-PI-R inventory was used to predict multiple criteria of criminal behavior (number of offenses, number of verdicts and criminal-legal recidivism) in the sample of male convicts from two penal institutions in Serbia (N = 181; mean age 36.3; SD = 9.7). Data analysis was done using the multiple linear regressions, on the domains level and on the level of facets, separately. On the domains level traits, only one of the obtained regression functions is statistically significant, with criminal-legal recidivism as criteria; Agreeableness and Conscientiousness are most important predictors. On facets level traits, all three regression functions are significant. Fairness, Gentleness, Organization and Creativity, all with negative beta ponders, have the most important role in this regression models. Results suggest that analyses on facets-level, rather than on domains-level, are more useful for understanding criminal behavior.

The goals of this prospective study were to assess clinical efficiency and possible impact of DVA on tissue damage by estimating oxidative status of patients with critical limb ischemia treated with this procedure. The subjects were 60 randomized patients: 30 were undergoing DVA and 30 were treated with antiaggregation therapy. During the mean follow-up period (6.13 ± 4.32 months for DVA vs. 6.74 ± 0.5 months for antiaggregation therapy) survival (p < 0.01), limb salvage (p < 0.001), pain relief (p < 0.001) and wound healing (p < 0.001) rates were significantly different between the two groups of patients in favor of the DVA group. Ten minutes after declamping we observed a decreasing trend in the lactate level in the blood of the deep venous system (p < 0.001). Also, on postoperative day 7 digital systolic pressure and dig...

Spirituality can play a vital role in understanding the problems clients face and the solutions they seek in psychotherapy. This volume brings together top scholars who show how therapists can ethically and competently integrate spiritual perspectives and interventions into their practices and thereby more effectively treat clients from diverse religious, spiritual, racial, and cultural backgrounds. The chapters present research, clinical guidance, and case studies representing a wide variety of approaches and settings, including community mental health centers, private practice offices, hospitals and medical clinics, universities, and prisons. Given the important role that spirituality plays in many people's lives, this book will help practitioners bring attention, sensitivity, and evidence-based knowledge about the spiritual dimension into their psychotherapy practice.
