Abstract

This paper discusses the inclusion of ideas from mindfulness, embodiment, and associated brain research in poststructural family therapies. Connecting research and practice across diverse fields is presented as enriching therapeutic work, increasing clinical effectiveness, and broadening options for families seeking our assistance. Ways of incorporating mindfulness and embodiment are described and offer distinctively novel practices not typically used in traditional forms of poststructural therapies. These innovative practices are illustrated by clinical work with a mother and her five‐year‐ daughter who survived a dangerous health crisis and an extremely painful hospitalization. Therapeutic work with this family exemplifies how traumatic experiences are not always accessible through linguistic means alone. Working with interpersonal mind–body practices can uniquely contribute to relaxing the sympathetic nervous system and activating the social engagement branch of the parasympathetic nervous system. The inclusion of such practices can provide valuable opportunities to facilitate the emergence of preferred experiences of self for all family members. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The effect of [Beta]-carotene supplementation on major serum carotenoid fractions (lutein/zeaxanthin, [Beta]-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, [alpha]-carotene, and [Beta]-carotene) was investigated in 224 people with colorectal adenomas (139 men, 85 women) recruited for the Australian Polyp Prevention Project (APPP). Each subject was randomly assigned to take either 20 mg [Beta]-carotene/d or placebo over 24 mo. Besides the expected increase in serum concentration of [Beta]-carotene (1073% in men, 839% in women), lycopene (176% in men) and [alpha]-carotene (211% in men and 166% in women) concentrations were also increased after body mass index, baseline concentration, change in respective carotenoid intake, and other confounding factors were adjusted for. The increase in serum concentrations of these carotenoids after of [Beta]-carotene supplementation suggests that [Beta]-carotene may interact biologically with other carotenoids and such interaction would need to be taken into consideration when the protective effect of [Beta]-carotene supplementation for cancer or other diseases is examined.

Author

Maclennan, Robert

Subjects
PARLIAMENTARY practice
Abstract

The author reflects on the defect in the parliamentary system in Great Britain. He argues that the British Parliament should be blamed for the misfortune of the country. He examines the role of the Parliament in giving democratic approval to government's policies as well as the flaws in its system. He suggests that the public should learn to accept the constitutional improvement involved in their obedience to the European Community and Parliament should become accustomed of its incompetence.
