    本稿は、筆者が“夢PCAGIP”と称したワークの試みを紹介するものである。夢PCAGIPとは、小グループで夢提供者が自身の夢の意味を見出すことを援助するワークであり、PCAGIP法と夢フォーカシングを参考にしている。PCAGIP法は、PCAグループとインシデント・プロセスを組み合わせた事例検討法である。PCAGIP法でテーマとして取り上げられるのは現実に起こっている事例がほとんどであり、現実に起こっていない夢を取り上げた例はない。そこで、筆者はPCAGIP法に夢解釈を応用したグループワークである夢PCAGIPを試みた。本稿では、夢PCAGIPの概要及び実施手順を紹介するとともに、ワークを実践した一例を報告する。さらに、夢をグループで扱う方法をいくつか検討し、夢PCAGIPの特徴について考察する。This study introduces PCAGIP Dreamwork, the author\u27s attempt to interpret dreams in group interaction. This is a small-group exercise to help the dreamer find meaning from the dream. It is based on PCAGIP-Method and Focusing Dreamwork. PCAGIP-Method is a case study method that combined Person Centered Group Approach with Incident Process. In most cases, PCAGIP-Method is used for problems that happen in real life, and work on dreams with PCAGIP has, thus far, never been reported. Therefore, the author attempted to develop PCAGIP Dreamwork, a group approach focused on dream interpretation. This paper shows the procedure of PCAGIP Dreamwork and reports an example of a dream interpreted in a group. Then, the characteristics of PCAGIP Dreamwork are discussed in comparison with other groups dealing with dreams

    The Clinical Significance of Repeating Conversation Drawing

    カンバセーション・ドローイング(以下Conv‒D)とは、声を出さずに線や形などを一筆程度で交互に描き合うペアワークであり、フォーカシング指向アートセラピーのワークの一つである。Conv‒Dについてはセラピーで用いられることの意義やメリットが示唆されているが、筆者が調べた範囲ではConv‒Dを扱った研究は発表されていない。そこで本研究は、臨床導入に先立ってConv‒Dを連続的に行うことでどのような効果が期待できるのかを検討することを目的として、大学院生を対象にConv‒Dを2回、連続的に実施した。各回の終了時に行ったシェアと1か月後の個別インタビューの内容についてThinking at the edge(以下TAE)による解釈を行った。そして、TAEによって得られたパターンをもとにしてConv‒Dを連続的に行うことによる心的変化を体験課程理論を基に考察した。これによって、Conv‒Dを連続的に行うことで絵を描くという象徴化行為を通した『気持ち』の変容、他者との相互作用による『気持ち』の変容、他者が象徴化することによる自身の『気持ち』の変容がみられた。今後、Conv‒Dの臨床的な効果が期待されよう。Conversation Drawing (Conv-D) is a Focusing-Oriented Art Therapy exercise done in a pair where each take turns to draw lines and shapes alternatively without talking. The benefits and clinical significance of Conv-D has been suggested but insofar as the author examined, no research studies exist to date to demonstrate its effects. Therefore in this study Conv-D was carried out twice to graduate student for the purpose of considering what effects can be expected by repeating Conv-D. After each of the two sessions, sharing among the pair was recorded and an individual interview was conducted and recorded approximately one month after the sessions. These recordings were interpreted using Thinking at the Edge (TAE). The patterns interpreted from TAE were then considered in light of the theory of Experiencing. Through such considerations, the changes in feelings observed were thought to be effects of symbolization, interaction, and symbolization by the other. Therapeutic effects of Conv-D can thus be expected and the author looks forward to future clinical research using Conv-D

    Time Discounting: Declining Impatience and Interval Effect

    Get PDF
    Most studies have not distinguished delay from intervals, so that whether the declining impatience really holds has been an open question. We conducted an experiment that explicitly distinguishes them, and confirmed the declining impatience. This implies that people make dynamically inconsistent plans. We also found the interval effect that the per-period time discount rate decreases with prolonged intervals. We show that the interval and the magnitude effects are caused, at least partially, because subjects' choices are influenced by the differential in reward amount, while Weber's law solves neither the delay nor the interval effects.

    Happiness before and after an election: An analysis based on a daily survey around Japan's 2009 election

    Full text link
    This paper investigates whether the Japanese voters became happy and/or unhappy due to the results of the General Election in 2009. We conducted a daily web survey for seven days before and after the election, obtaining1068 responses. Estimating a fixed effects model, we found that supporters of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), the winner, became significantly happier, and supporters of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP) and New Komeito, the losers, became significantly unhappier on the day following the election. However, happiness returned to the previous level in one or two days, implying people adapted to the news very quickly. Dividing those who support the policies of DPJ into two groups, those who expect material benefits from the victory of DPJ and those who do not, we demonstrated that the reason why the supporters of the winner (DPJ) felt happy was not because they obtained material benefits from the change of government. We also found that the happiness level of those whose expectation of the election results were realized did not change, while that of those whose expectation differed from the reality changed substantially. In a word, only unexpected results matter
