Doing and researching aesthetic work in the visual domain
Alan Bleakley in Educating Doctors’ Senses Through the Medical Humanities, 2020
Research data were gathered in a number of ways and in differing forums: Public seminar and debate, and conference presentations: these formal settings, documented through videotaping, audiotaping and notes, involved framing of typical episodes of clinical and aesthetic judgements in the visual domain, to which invited audiences of doctors and artists responded.‘Thinking aloud’ work-based exchanges (artists to clinics and doctors to studios). These allowed practitioners to swap live practices and stories. The deliberative and reflective processes were documented through extensive notes.Doctors talking to clinical images such as X-rays, pathology slides and photographs of skin conditions. These model typical clinical formulation responses and were audiotaped and transcribed.Minuted review and round table discussions progressing models and insights with the project convenor, a medical educator and psychologist. This was an iterative process.
Victims and survivors
John C. Gunn, Pamela J. Taylor in Forensic Psychiatry, 2014
Perhaps for clinical purposes, the important issue is less one of the frequency of a relationship between military experience and PTSD, but more an acknowledgement that, for at least some returning veterans, psychological problems are a major difficulty and, where so, in many cases also for their families and wider communities through intoxication or antisocial actions. Friedman (2006) offers a useful clinical formulation and treatment strategy.
Case Conceptualization 1
Len Sperry in Behavioral Health, 2013
A clinical formulation, is an explanatory statement that answers the “Why did it happen?” question. The clinical formulation articulates and integrates the intrapsychic, interpersonal, and systemic dynamics to provide a clinically meaningful explanation of the client’s maladaptive pattern, and a statement of the causality of their behavior. An effective clinical formulation effectively links the diagnostic and treatment formulations.
A Qualitative Framework of Cumulative Risk and Protection for Understanding Neurodevelopment and Clinical Progress: A Multiple Case Study Approach
Published in Evidence-Based Practice in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, 2021
Bianca C. Bondi, Debra J. Pepler, Mary Motz, Naomi C.Z. Andrews
Overall, this qualitative framework can contribute to comprehensive case formulation and treatment planning for evidence-based, multisystemic early interventions that target key risk factors while incorporating salient protective factors. Our proposed framework for clinical formulation and treatment planning can support clinical practice by encouraging a strengths-based approach to clinical interventions with families and in writing letters of support and advocacy. This framework can also enable a better understanding of what additional supports for families may be required, and allow targeted recommendations to be made and implemented in clinical practice. In combining the clinical applicability of this qualitative framework for case formulation and treatment planning with the retrospective utility for understanding the contribution of cumulative risk and protection on neurodevelopment and clinical progress, case formulation and treatment planning can be adapted dynamically to maximize client-specific clinical progress over time.
Rats and rabbits as pharmacokinetic screening tools for long acting intramuscular depots: case study with paliperidone palmitate suspension

Invega Sustenna®, a ready to use clinical formulation preparation of paliperidone palmitate was used in this study. The innovator’s clinical formulation was purchased through a local pharmacy outlet and was used as it is without any further processing. It is an aqueous nano-suspension with low solubility leading to achieve extended release properties. The drug product was formulated with excipients comprising of polysorbate 20 (NF), polyethylene glycol 4000 (NF), citric acid monohydrate (USP), disodium hydrogen phosphate anhydrous (USP), sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (USP), sodium hydroxide (NF) and water for injection (USP). The formulation strength was 100 mg equivalent of the active drug contained per mL for intramuscular injection (Invega Sustenna®, Product Label, USA FDA, 2006).
Validity assessment in clinical neuropsychology practice: evaluating and managing noncredible performance
Published in Brain Injury, 2023
The second half of the book focuses on specific areas of practice and this format allows the reader to dip into their area of practice. This does reveal a limitation of the volume as it is written primarily with a North American audience in mind and so contains chapters specific to practitioners based in the USA. There is still information to be gleaned for all readers from these chapters however, with provision of practical examples which allow generalization to other settings, including the important consideration of the use of validity tests with culturally diverse individuals. There is, of course, a chapter on mild brain injury a population in which there has been a strong focus of validity assessment in the medicolegal setting. This, however, highlights the value and strength as the chapter contains up-to-date literature and a practical ‘how to’ focus, including treatment. Chapters on the validity assessment in individuals with psychiatric and in memory clinics provide suggestions regarding different cutoffs for validity tests and consideration of specificity; the assumption that depression and anxiety will lead to invalid performance is challenged. The chapter on patients with somatic/functional disorders follows the overall format of the book with up-to-date evidence to inform clinical practice, how to interpret results and develop a clinical formulation, and then use this information to assist the patient. Overall, the practical information supported by the literature will allow clinicians to be more confident in their conclusions and ultimately inform better diagnostic and treatment outcomes.
