Exploring the integration of behavioural experiments into eating disorders treatment

This dissertation explores the value and usefulness of behavioural experiments in the treatment of eating disorders. The dissertation is presented as two components: • Section One: A literature review • Section Two: A journal manuscript The literature review provides background on the characteristics, aetiology and prevalence of eating disorders, empirical evidence of current treatment approaches, and empirical evidence of the efficacy of behavioural experiments. The review also details the role of maladaptive assumptions and beliefs on the development and maintenance of eating disorders, specifically for the purpose of highlighting the need for further investigation into the treatment potential of behavioural experiments. The findings of the literature review informed the conceptualization and design of the research study, a qualitative study with an exploratory approach. Qualitative data in the form of Behavioural Experiment – Practical Food Group record sheets were analysed to investigate the value and usefulness of behavioural experiments in the treatment of eating disorders. The second section of this dissertation is a journal manuscript of the research study. It contains the findings of the study and the clinical implications of this research. This research manuscript will be submitted to the Journal of Eating Disorders

A Qualitative Case Study that Explores the Use of Visual Thinking Journals in an Urban Arts Magnet High School

This qualitative case study research project investigated the question, “What can be learned from a study that explores how an art teacher uses visual thinking journals and how students respond to the use of visual thinking journals in an urban arts high school setting?” The participants of this study were the art educator Mrs. Carlson and the students enrolled in her ninth grade Graphic Design and 12th grade Advanced Drawing and Painting courses. Over an eight week period data was collected and analyzed utilizing constructivist pedagogy to investigate the variety of ways high school art teachers and students use visual thinking journals and the approaches teachers use to facilitate and encourage students’ learning. Data collection methods included interviews, observations, and document analysis. As data analysis occurred the following findings developed: Sketchbook culture, teacher directed assignments and student interests, and the traits of the teacher. My findings demonstrate what can be learned from studying an art teacher’s use of sketchbooks in an urban arts high school. I discovered that student interests and personality make a tremendous difference in their attitude and effort towards sketchbook assignment and a teacher’s willingness to listen and hear the opinions of her students changes can be made to make the sketchbook process more advantageous to both teacher and students

Leopoldo Panero y su antología de poesía hispanoamericana. Una lectura “personal” de América

El presente artículo trata de ofrecer una lectura estética y política de la Antología de la poesía hispanoamericana que publicara Leopoldo Panero entre 1944 y 1945 bajo protección gubernamental. Para ello se parte de la particular biografía del escritor astorgano, su relación en los años treinta con los poetas hispanoamericanos –especialmente Vallejo y Neruda– y su gira por América ya como supuesto prohombre del régimen franquista en 1949 y 1954. La lectura sistemática de sus prólogos y selección de poetas revela la particular visión de Panero sobre Hispanoamérica, mediatizada por el concepto imperial de Falange pero formulada bajo su propia visión de lo que la lírica americana representa para la lengua castellana. Se sostiene así en estas líneas la tesis de que los postulados de Panero representan, a pesar de todo, una opción mucho más compleja de lo que se suele considerar.The current article tries to offer an estetic and political lecture of the Antología de la poesía hispanoamericana published by Leopoldo Panero between 1944 and 1945 under the governmental protection. The article starts defining the particular biography of the spanish writer, and his relations with the Spanish American poets –specially Vallejo and Neruda– and his journeys to America as a relevant man of the Francoist movement between 1949 and 1954. The systematic lecture of his prefaces and his selection of poets disclose his particular vision of Latin America, always influenced by the imperial concept of Falange but based in his own vision of the symbolism of the American Lyric. These lines try to maintain, to summarize, the thesis that defends the incredible complexity of Panero’s postulates

Sanchos contra Quijotes. Un paradigma ibérico contra el Estado Novo y el franquismo

Abstract. Sanchos against Quijotes. An Iberian Paradigm Against the Estado Novo and Francoism. The current article analyses the presence of Don Quixote’s myth in the poetry related to the opposition against the regimes of Francisco Franco and António de Oliveira Salazar in Spain and Portugal. These poems are written by several Portuguese and Spanish poets between the years of the Spanish Civil War and the sixties. In this corpus of texts we can observe a particular treatment of Sancho Panza’s and Quixote’s figures. In this sense, we have worked with the poetic texts of José Gomes Ferreira, Mário Dionísio, Miguel Torga, Gabriel Celaya and José Saramago. All these texts adopt a negative view – with the exception of Miguel Torga – of the character of Don Quijote de la Mancha, which is identified with hypocrisy and selfishness of the privileged class. On the contrary, in all these poets, and particularly the writers of Communist affiliation, the figure of Sancho Panza appear dignified as a symbol of the Iberian proletariat. In this common scheme, however, there can be seen different nuances between the examined poems, showing a kinder treatment of the figure of Don Quixote in the writings of Saramago or Torga, as against Gomes Ferreira and Dionísio. Also, an interesting development is seen between the poems written during the Spanish Civil War –Torga, Gomes Ferreira and Dionísio– and written twenty and thirty years later – Celaya and Saramago, when the Iberian dictatorships of the twentieth century enter their final phase. In conclusion, it is possible to determine a common paradigm in the treatment of the quixotic myth in the Spanish-Portuguese poetry during the middle decades of the twentieth century

Another Garcilaso of the post-spanish civil war: The anthology of Francisco de Castells

El trabajo propuesto pretende replantear el concepto de «garcilasismo» como sinergia propia de la lírica española a lo largo de la década de los treinta y cuarenta. Para ello se repasa las diferentes posturas críticas sobre el asunto y se pone el acento en una definición más abierta y equilibrada de la corriente estudiada. Ello conlleva una visión del garcilasismo como fenómeno de continuidad, y no de ruptura, entre la poesía anterior y posterior a la Guerra Civil. En este sentido, se toma la antología de un autor «menor», Francisco de Castells, como paradigma de una posición ética y estética común a poetasposteriormente encuadrados por la crítica en marbetes diversos.The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the concept of «garcilasismo» as a synergy of the Spanish poetry throughout the decades of the thirties and forties. For this purpose, we revised the different critical stances on this topic and we focused on a broader and more balanced definition of this literary genre. This required a perspective of «garcilasismo » as a phenomenon which led to the continuation —rather than to the rupture— of the pre- and post-Spanish Civil War poetry. In this regard, we took the anthology of a «minor» author, Francisco de Castells, as a paradigm of a certain ethic and aesthetic position that was common to poets who afterwards were classified under diverse labels.peerReviewe
