Both dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) include training in mindfulness skills and address the synthesis of acceptance and change.

Both have considerable empirical support for...
Shinrigaku Kenkyu February 2007 Naoyuki Osaka
Biological studies of human consciousness based on recent neuroimaging experiments, i.e., functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), were reviewed from the viewpoint of different functions of consciousness. A biological hierarchy of consciousness structured in three levels, i.e., arousal, awareness and self-consciousness, was reviewed in connection with...
Transpersonal Psychology Review 2007 Anthony Edwards
There exist many reasons why transpersonal psychologists can benefit greatly from study of Dan Brown’sThe Da Vinci Code.Seen from a superficial angle, the most obvious aspect of a theme that will be of interest to transpersonal psychology is the reference to the feminine in the Divine.

PEARL 2007 Michael Pearce
Can the creative practices of British Neolithic art and architecture be used in the making of contemporary art? This dissertation describes my practice making works of art based on the Neolithic model, presented in a gallery setting and occasionally in the landscape. The creative process is grounded on research into prehistoric British art and ritual architecture and records my process of...
Cerebellum 2007 M Frings, M Maschke, D Timmann
Traditionally, it is believed, that the primary function of the cerebellum is to coordinate movement. During the past three decades, it has been controversially discussed, whether the cerebellum may also contribute to cognition and mental states like emotions. In this paper, no position relating to this controversy will be taken. Instead, the hypothesis of non-motor functions of the cerebellum...

When we meditate for the first time, we may be surprised by the nature of our background thoughts, feelings and sensations and in particular by the mind’s incessant chatter as we attempt to perceive the space between thoughts and the nature of mind itself, which is the essence of meditation. In this experiential session, we will introduce the participants to some simple meditation techniques....

Rigorous scientific testing of behavior change interventions is an important goal for nursing research. The stage model for behavioral therapy development is recommended as a useful framework for evaluating behavior change strategies. The NIH model specifies three stages from...
Brain Topography 2007 Hitoshi Katayama, Lorena R R Gianotti, Toshiaki Isotani et al.
The study assessed the brain electric mechanisms of light and deep hypnotic conditions in the framework of EEG temporal microstates. Multichannel EEG of healthy volunteers during initial resting, light hypnosis, deep hypnosis, and eventual recovery was analyzed into temporal EEG microstates of four classes. Microstates are defined by the spatial configuration of their potential distribution...
