Registration includes
morning snacks, lunch, coffee and tea, wine and
cheese conversation hour and 6 CEUs.
one day conference features phenomenological and other forms of qualitative
research that have implications for therapeutic practice. Registration deadline is April
9 for presenters and April 18 for participants.
conference showcases phenomenological and other forms of qualitative research
in a forum of learning and dialogue.
Those working in the field of mental health, education, and psychology,
as well as graduate students from Seattle University and other programs are
invited to attend. We believe that therapists can greatly benefit from
qualitative research that gives us a deeper understanding of various human
experiences, such as despair, living with back pain, and having difficult
conversations about money.
year we will have a special event as part of the conference: a jazz trio
consisting of bass player Nate Omdal, pianist Michael Owcharuk and drummer, Max
Wood, will do a demonstration improvisation for us and discuss the role of
inspiration and improvisation in their performance. We are including this event
not just because it is enjoyable to listen to jazz but because we want to
highlight the role inspiration and improvisation plays in qualitative research.
These dimensions of the research process are critical and yet they are not
often acknowledged in the way that method and theory are.

Wounded Therapist: Understanding the Relationship Between Personal Suffering and Clinical Practice
Molly E. Cvetovac and Alexandra L. Adame, PhD,
Seattle University, Graduate Program in
Despite its
enduring relevance to clinical practice, the therapist's personal wounds remain
a taboo topic in professional circles. For many therapists who are experiencing
or have previously experienced psychological distress, the fear of stigma and
its potential consequences has encouraged silence and secrecy regarding
personal wounds (Zerubavel & Wright, 2012). Although research has discussed
the wounded healer in conjunction with issues such as countertransference
(Cain, 2000; Hayes, 2002), self-disclosure (Cain, 2000; Costin & Johnson,
2002), and supervision (Wheeler, 2007; Zerubavel & Wright, 2012), it has
failed to address the complex relationship between a therapist's wounded identity and his or her identity as a clinician. The goal of
the current study is to explore how wounded therapists understand both their
recovery and their dual-identities as clinician and client. We used the method
of narrative analysis (Lieblich, Tuval-Mashiach, & Zilber, 1998) to examine
11 first-person published narratives written by psychotherapists who have
experienced emotional distress and subsequent treatment. The major themes that
arose from our analysis include fears about professional incompetence, the need
to hide emotional wounds, and the ways in which the wounds of the therapist
both inform/interfere with clinical practice. Our findings point to the
challenges that wounded therapists face when navigating the distance between
their personal experiences of distress and the experiences of their clients, as
well as the potential value of the therapist's wounds in clinical practice.
Collaborative Research and Maternal Guilt:
A Therapeutic Style of Inquiry
Steele LeBeau, Ph.D. - Seattle University Department of Psychology
we ask questions about the lived experiences of certain kinds of life events,
we are often hard-pressed to find words that can lend themselves adequately to
their expression. Certain types of
experiences perhaps live outside of conscious direct language and comprehension
and live more in bodily felt sensations that do not readily give way to our
understanding or even our approach.
Guilt is one such language-elusive phenomenon, which is often so
multi-layered that we tend to build complex systems of resistance to any
acknowledgement of its very existence.
For new mothers experiencing guilt related to being a mother, this
experience can be particularly nuanced.
In this presentation, I will present the research method I developed for
my doctoral dissertation, which includes an adapted embodied and therapeutic
style of inquiry based on Todres' (2007) book, Embodied Enquiry and Gendlin's
Focusing Technique (Gendlin, 1978, 1981, 1989, 1996), with the interview
descriptions of five first-time mothers with infant children. This style of inquiry can be particularly
helpful in considering the therapeutic implications of the research process
itself for giving voice to experiences which dwell at the limits of language
and are "more than words can say" (Gendlin, 1997). The process of approaching these limits in
language also requires a great deal of improvisation in each research moment as
was evidenced in my own process of holding the research frame therapeutically
and in each mother's approach in exploring their "felt sense" (Gendlin, 1981)
of their described memories in the interview situation. I welcome the opportunity to share this work
and receive feedback and discussion in the open forum and dialogue of this
Application of Concepts of Existential Psychotherapy to Art Therapy
Joseph Madigan MA, Saybrook University, San Francisco
This research
was is a qualitative study that investigated the experience of art making in
substance abuse recovery from the perspective of existential art therapy. The
purpose of this study was to explore and develop a theory about how art therapy
may impact individuals in recovery from substance abuse. Six participants were
interviewed and their responses to a questionnaire concerning their use of art
making as part of their recovery from substance abuse were recorded. This
research used Greenings Four Existential
Challenges: Three Responses to Each, (1992) as the basis to examine the
participants' subjective experience in developing creative responses to
existential challenges through their use of art in their recovery.
This study
employed Grounded Theory methodology to analyze the data that was collected.
The participant responses were coded and six major themes emerged: life
changes, changes in relationships, being alive, personal freedom, meaning and
contribution to their world, and connection vs. isolation. The theme of life
changes was broken down into five sub-themes: physical, emotional, cognitive
and spiritual, and changes in the way life is lived. The theme of being alive
was broken down into four sub-themes: changes in feelings, senses, intuition or
attitude toward living. The participants' responses to the research questions
appear to indicate that they were successfully using art as a means of
creatively transcending the existential challenges that they faced in recovery.
The participants also indicated that making art in recovery had led them to
embrace creative responses to the challenges of sustaining their recovery.
Based upon the participant's responses to the research questions, there appears
to be significant evidence to support a theory that making art supports
recovery. The theory that emerged was the making art can support sustained
recovery from substance abuse and facilitate significant changes in the way
life is lived, in relationships, in personal freedom, and in meaning.
Matthew AJ Stichman, MA
Alumnus Seattle University
The substance abuse and chemical dependency fields have
historically been dominated by abstinence-based approaches to treatment. Harm
reduction, an international reform movement, is decidedly contrary to the
conventional wisdom about chronic drug abuse. This is because the harm
reduction model prioritizes the stabilization and containment of addiction in
lieu of working to cure or eradicate the phenomenon. For a qualitative research
study I conducted in fulfillment of my Master's Thesis, I interviewed three
clinicians about their experiences using the harm reduction approach while
working at an outpatient substance abuse treatment center. The interview data
was then analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. For my Thesis
I also performed an extensive review of the available literature and prior
qualitative research on harm reduction. My literature review reveals that while
harm reduction offers novel strengths, it actually suffers from many of the
same limitations and weaknesses as "traditional treatment." Alternatively, my
research findings explicitly show just how harm reduction can broaden the ways
that substance abuse and addiction are both understood and treated. However, I
will also explore how harm reduction can be(come) implemented and practiced in
a way that enables addiction, and thus produces harm. Ultimately, my research
reveals how important the role of problematization is in clinical psychology. I
will argue that harm reduction should always be practiced with meliorism and an
attitude of hope, and that all substance abuse treatment should be practiced
with pragmatism and a
recovery-oriented focus. In regards to the theme of improvisation, I will
emphasize the importance of dialogue in qualitative research.
Life as a Rocky Mountain Firefighter:
An Ethnographic-Phenomenological Analysis
Lucas Trout,
Graduate psychology program, Seattle University
This study explores the lived experience
of 10 male firefighters in a rural American mountain town over two years and
6,000 hours of participatory research, using a novel hybridization of
cross-disciplinary methodologies deemed ethnographic-phenomenological analysis
(EPA). This method combines
participant-observation and auto-ethnography with in-depth interviews and
interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) in order to gain insight into
the life-worlds of men who choose to fight fires. In addition, this study seeks to explore the
extent to which dynamic study designs and traditionally anthropological
research methods can be meaningfully informative in accounting for the
complexities of lived experience. To
this end the author fought fires alongside a core group of firefighters, both
career and volunteer, for two years in a small town in the Rocky West. Four interrelated themes emerged: 1) the
recapitulation and healing of past trauma through service as a firefighter; 2)
a paradoxical and intimate relationship to life and death; 3) the importance
and strength of kinship among firefighters in furnishing life with a sense of
connection, meaning, and support; and 4) the role of the fire service in
developing a sense of place, belonging, and home.
The Perinatal Experience of Somali Couples in the
Danuta Wojnar,
PhD, RN & Bonnie Bowie, PhD, RN
College of
Nursing, Seattle University
disparities exist between the childbirth outcomes for Somali women and
non-immigrant women in the USA. Using descriptive phenomenology, we explored
the perinatal experiences of Somali couples in the USA. Women and men from the
Pacific North West (N = 48, from 26 families) participated in
semi-structured individual and couple interviews (30 ~ 60 minutes each) and a
follow up phone interview. The follow up interviews were used to clarify
understandings and obtain feedback on the descriptive model of the common
experiences of study participants. We found an overarching theme A Clash of Two Cultures and three
subthemes: (a) Longing for the old world,
(b) Miss-informed consent and care, and (c) Surviving and thriving. Couples reported cultural clashes because
of communication barriers and the healthcare teams' miss-understandings of
Somali couples' care needs. Research is needed to develop programs that
consider the culture-based expectations of Somalis to improve the childbirth
Presenters have to register

Berkeley Bowl workers get new chance for union election
Workers at the Berkeley Bowl on Oregon Street are going to have another chance to decide whether they want a union.
The National Labor Relations Board in late December nullified the election Berkeley Bowl held in June 2010 that decertified the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 5. The NLRB has ordered the store management to hold another election in March, according to a letter sent to the company in late December.

Published in ASRM Press Release
For patients who need donated eggs to build their families, frozen donor eggs may be an excellent choice. Researchers at Seattle Reproductive Medicine compared the outcomes of a year's fresh and frozen donor egg IVF cycles and found that clinical pregnancy rates are similar between fresh and frozen cycles, but that frozen cycles are more cost-effective, with a shorter time to cycle start and significantly lower cancellation rates.
From March 2012 to February 2013, outcomes for 113 fresh egg recipients were compared to those for 77 frozen recipients. Clinical pregnancy rates were 60% for fresh cycles and 57% for frozen cycles. Cancellation rates differed quite a bit: only 1.2% of frozen cycles were cancelled, compared to 12% of fresh cycles.
Costs were lower for patients who used frozen eggs. The cost per transfer for frozen egg patients was $17,500 with an average cost of $30,532 per clinical pregnancy. For patients using fresh eggs, the cost per transfer was $29,621 and the average cost per clinical pregnancy was $49,530.
In addition, using frozen eggs also resulted in a time savings for patients. The average time from a patient's initial consult to the cycle start was 217 days for a fresh cycle and 172 for a frozen cycle. In the last six months of the study period, frozen egg cycles accounted for 61% of all donor egg cycles.
ASRM President, Linda Giudice, MD, PhD, observed, "Frozen egg banking is a promising development for patients and donors alike. Because the costs are lower and a shorter waiting time is involved, more patients are likely to find frozen donor eggs a very appealing alternative to fresh donor eggs."

text: May04 gdchallengeindiaelevatorssubmission Smarter Elevators I am not sure if any elevator manufacturer has done so, but it seems to me that adding some sensors and algorithms could significantly improve the efficiency of the machines in tall buildings. It could be a very practical application of utilitarianism, aiming to reduce the average per-person journey time as much as possible. For instance, if there are two elevators moving past a floor where someone has requested a stop, the one carrying fewer people could be assigned the pause, even if the fuller cabin would be there sooner. Similarly, if a number of people got on at once and only one additional floor was selected, the movement of that elevator to that floor could be prioritized, bypassing people waiting on other floors. To implement this, all you would really need is weight sensors in the elevator floor (or a tension sensor on the cable) and perhaps thermal sensors in the waiting areas to identify how many people are awaiting an elevator on any particular floor. Another good mechanism might be a panel on the ground floor – or any sky lobbies – where each person waiting indicates their destination floor. They could then be routed to a particular elevator. For example, if ten people are all waiting on floor 1 to go up to floor 40, an elevator might be assigned just for them, saving them the delay of a dozen stops up along the way.

Models tell me I have a knack for making them look exotic, wicked and alluring. I can pull a lot of different looks from one face...I like to mix things up...I like to get creative. Simply put, I make people look sexy. If you are looking for something innovative and artistic that will get you noticed, we should work together. I specialize in helping new models develop their style. A shoot with me includes concept, wardrobe styling, hair, makeup and fully retouched images ready for your portfolio.

A: I do one or two TF's per year WHEN I have time.
Q: Do you pay models?
A: No
Q: Do you pay for gas or transportation?
A: No
Q: Do you text?
A: No. I will expect to talk to you on the phone to discuss shoot details.

3 Health Tips for Osteoarthritis
Completing the TLS Program
The twelve weeks of the TLS program are over and the results are in. I was able to meet my goal of losing 10 pounds. Actually, by the first weigh-in at four weeks, I had lost 11 pounds and I have stayed at that weight since. I don't see much physical change from the 11 pounds (below). I would say that my face is less puffy, my waist and my belly have shrunk slightly. The biggest changes, however, are not visible ones. Read more
Harvest Tribute
Just a little fun today at the beginning of October. The fall season is upon us and in Chinese Medicine, each season represents many different themes. Today, I am just going to touch on one of those themes and that is the harvest. To help get your mind on the joy of the harvest, I have included pictures from my garden. If you would like to see a larger version of the pictures you can click on any of them. Read more
Who are you?!
Ever asked yourself, who am I? When someone else asks, "Who are you?"; such a direct question. We usually answer with our name and a little bio; where we're from, where we work, etc. This is not what I am talking about. What I am asking is, "what sort of person are you; i.e. what is your character?" This is the sort of question that almost no one asks but for a healthy mind and happy life, it is one we should ask ourselves. Read more
TLS Week 8: diet and well-being
Now, having finished the eighth week of the TLS program, I can really start to notice some differences due to my diet. In general, I have felt less achy, I have had fewer headaches and my mental clarity has been better. In other words, the effects of the first detox week have lasted. In addition, I have already surpassed my goal of losing 10 pounds. Read more
Why "weight loss" is bad for your health
Weight loss is an important goal for many people's overall health. However, implicit in many weight-loss goals is a self-defeating trap that can lead to further health problems. The reason for this is most weight-loss goals are a certain amount of weight within a short period of time. I have listed some of the common weight-loss goals that I see below, and the ugly truth that is hidden within them. Read more
Transitions Lifestyle – Week 2
The second week of the TLS program has proven to be much easier than the first. Of all things, I am happy to have protein back in my diet. I am eating much less protein, but that little bit helps a lot. Though the first week was tough, it has proven useful. I have noticed a boost in energy and mental clarity. Both have carried over into this second week. Read more
Transitions Lifestyle – Week 1
I have just finished the first week of the Transitions Lifestyle Program. It is called detox week and it is the most difficult week of the program. During this week, you are allowed to eat all the vegetables you would like, but mostly raw, plus three servings of fruit and that's it. No meat, no fats, no grains, no sugar. Talk about a shock to your system! Read more

This means real and lasting change that improves your overall body composition. Read more

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - Even with Tuesday night's scattered showers, much of Wisconsin is at risk for grass and forest fires.
The Department of Natural Resources declared ten counties as very dry and a very high risk for fires. Marathon, Wood, Portage, Clark, Adams,and Juneau are among them. About half of the state has a high fire risk.
Wildfire Prevention Specialist Catherine Koele says conditions change quickly, and the dry ground with erratic winds can lead to dangerous fires.She says the late winter helped, but strong winds and temperatures in the 70s and 80s can lead to more fires now.
May local units of government have already banned backyard fires and burning barrels until the conditions change.
The DNR has a website showing which counties have been declared high risks for fire.

(WHAS11 Political Blog) -- The last person to challenge Sen. Mitch McConnell's re-election says it not only is an uphill battle, but a high-risk move for anyone who intends to run for office again.
Louisville businessman Bruce Lunsford, the 2008 Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, is quoted by ABC News' Jeff Zeleny as pessimistic of his party's chances in 2014.
"There is really no sitting Democrat that I can think of right now that has the firepower, monetarily, or has enough gravitas to take him on significantly," Lunsford told ABC News. "I'd be surprised if anybody can run against him who thinks they have a further career in politics."
Though an adviser to the leading potential Democratic candidate, Alison Lundergan Grimes, repeats to Zeleny that Grimes "will not be bullied" by McConnell's tactics, Lunsford warns that McConnell knows how to make it painful on an opponent.
.... the warning from Lunsford seems to be aimed directly at Grimes, 34, who he said has "a great future."
"I don't think there is any Democratic candidate who would be willing to risk the damage that he could do to them in a negative campaign," Lunsford said in an interview. "It's going to be very hard for Senator McConnell to lose."

We focus on the following practices areas:
Testosterone therapy / supplementation has been linked to a dramatic increase in the risk of stroke, pulmonary embolism, blood clots, heart attack and death. Studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and PLOS One have each found that testosterone has serious side effects.
Medical and scientific literature indicates that any type of testosterone therapy can cause serious injuries. Testosterone therapy can cause injury by increasing a man's hematocrit and/or estradiol levels. The FDA is reconsidering the safety of testosterone therapy medications. On June 19, 2014, the FDA issued a partial labeling change for testosterone concerning the risk of blood clots. The FDA met on September 17, 2014 is weighing whether it should increase the warnings concerning testosterone and limit the prescription and use of testosterone.
The FDA notified healthcare professionals of a Class 1 recall for the Stryker Triathlon Knee replacement ShapeMatch cutting guide due to a software defect that results in wider cutting ranges. This may result in serious adverse health consequences including joint instability, fracture,need for revision surgery and chronic pain and limitations of mobility.
Xarelto is a blood thinner that was marketed to doctors and patients as a safer alternative to Coumadin, Warfarin and Pradaxa. However, Xarelto has been linked to a sharp increase in the risk of severe internal bleeding. As Xarelto does not have a reversal agent, many people who took Xarelto have suffered gastrointestinal, rectal or intracranial bleeds that can result in severe disability or death.

Chronic Diarrhea
Understand this symptom of stomach upset—and how to treat it
How Is Chronic Diarrhea Spread?
Chronic diarrhea caused by an infection can be spread via water or food contaminated with fecal material. Close contact with a person who has diarrhea may also spread infection. This occurs when a person accidentally puts something that is contaminated with stool in or around his or her mouth. In general, chronic diarrhea not caused by an infection is not spread to other people.

Cap Sleeve Lace Over Satin Gown with Illusion Back Style 9T3299 44 44
Figure flattering for sure! I bought this dress in ivory (it's not too yellow like some ivorys). It looked so great on me, and I felt so beautiful in it! Unfortunately my wedding day was so hot (and everything was outside) that I only kept my dress on until about an hour into the reception before I changed into a shorter dress. I did purchase a photo shoot with my photographer after the wedding to capture more bride and groom portraits so I could have more pictures of me in my dress! December 6, 2013
My dress! I bought this dress today. It is nothing that I thought I would get, but I had a tear in my eye when I tried it on. It is scratchy under your arm because of the beading, but the lace is soft and beautiful. Note: most of the beaded david's bridal dresses that I tried had the same scratchy beading problem. This one is just gorgeous! Can't wait for my wedding. November 25, 2013
Romantically Beautiful I was immediately drawn to this dress when I was browsing David Bridal's selection. I never felt comfortable wearing sleeveless tops so of course I wanted a dress with sleeves. I loved the lace and beading accents of this dress. The A-Line also was figure flattering. The top half was my favorite. I usually wear a size 14 in clothing. I was able to get into the 14W size comfortably. I'd recommend the undergarments DB sells. I love the shape the girdle gave me... I had an hourglass figure (ha ha). I felt so beautiful on my special day and I want to thank David's Bridal and their wonderful customer service. I just showed up without an appointment but I had the item #'s of the dresses I wanted to try on and they had them in stock. I bought this right of the rack and no alterations were needed. I posted 2 pictures. November 17, 2013
Amazed My first day trying on bridal gowns and this was the third shop I went to. I found some dresses that I liked, some that I loved, and some that I hated. The attendant at David's Bridal was amazing. She kept bringing dress after dress for me to try, refusing to accept me just loving a dress...she wanted me to know it was the one. This one was the last one I tried. I put it on and walked outside, my mother and sister smiled and got teary-eyed. I looked in the mirror and took in the beaded lace, the way the dress hugged my body in the right places, and fell beautifully to the floor from my hips. I felt this overwhelming joy and I finally understood what it was like to find "the one". My attendant, who was watching my face, whispered "is this was the one." I didn't need to answer, she could see it in my eyes. I am so happy when I think about walking down the isle in my dream dress to marry the man I love. It's a fantasy come true. Thank You David's Bridal for helping me create my dream. October 6, 2013

MOSINEE, Wis (WSAU) The Mosinee Fire Department responded to a brush fire along the banks of the Wisconsin River on Sunday afternoon. There were concerns because of windy conditions and because the fire was near the Mosinee Paper Mill. They were able to put it out before it spread.
It's not clear how much land was blackened.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
For a time the smoke covered the Main Street Bridge, reducing visibility for drivers. Emergency equipment blocked several lanes while the fire was put out.

The Nationals still have to fend off the red-hot Atlanta Braves in the National League East over the final two months of the regular season, and a handful of wild-card contenders remain close behind in the standings. But shockingly the Philadelphia Phillies are not one of them. Instead, the Phillies arrive in Washington...
