SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Professor Peter McEvoy (School of Psychology\, Curtin University)
DESCRIPTION:Professor Peter McEvoySchool of Psychology\, Curtin University\nTitle: Can imagery-based techniques enhance outcomes from cognitive behaviour group therapy for social anxiety disorder? Outcomes from a randomised controlled trial \nAbstract: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is one of the most common mental disorders\, and it can have severely detrimental impacts on an individual’s ability to reach their social and occupational potential. People with SAD have a core fear of evaluation from others\, which is associated with a range of maintaining factors such as negative thoughts and images relating to social threat\, avoidance and safety behaviours\, self-focused attention\, negative core beliefs about the self and others\, and anticipatory and post-event processing (i.e.\, rumination). This colloquium will outline the rationale for incorporating mental imagery into CBT before describing some of the imagery ‘enhancements’ used in this new treatment. A range of published and unpublished primary and secondary cognitive\, behavioural\, affective\, and psychophysiological outcomes will be reported from a recently completed randomised controlled trial comparing the ‘imagery enhanced’ to a more traditional CBT approach.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Dr Rachel Menzies (School of Psychology\, University of Sydney)
DESCRIPTION:Dr Rachel MenziesSchool of Psychology\, University of Sydney\nTitle: Death anxiety: The worm at the core of mental health \nAbstract: Our awareness of mortality is a universal part of the human experience\, and fears of death have been recorded throughout our species’ history. More recently\, death anxiety has been proposed to be a transdiagnostic construct\, underpinning a range of mental illnesses. This colloquium will outline theoretical and empirical evidence suggesting that death anxiety may be central to numerous mental health conditions. A series of published studies will be presented\, demonstrating the causal role of death anxiety in driving clinically-relevant behaviour. It will be argued that current psychological treatments fail to sufficiently address death anxiety. Further\, specifically targeting fears of death in treatment may be necessary to produce long-term symptom improvement. Lastly\, evidence concerning the treatment efficacy for alleviating death anxiety will be discussed.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Psychology Colloquium: Dr Denovan Begg (School of Psychology\, University of New South Wales)
DESCRIPTION:TODAY’S COLLOQUIUM HAS BEEN CANCELLED. DR BEGG’S TALK WILL BE RESCHEDULED IN SEMESTER 2.Dr Denovan Begg\nSchool of Psychology\, University of New South Wales\nTitle: The neural basis of ingestive behaviours \nAbstract: Homeostatic regulation of ingestive behaviour is generally considered to be essential for survival. Despite eating often being thought of as a homeostatic behaviour\, there is little evidence to suggest that eating is an automatic response to an acute shortage of energy. Instead\, food intake can be considered an integrated response over a prolonged period of time that maintains the levels of stored energy. In addition\, many non-homeostatic factors\, including palatability\, stress\, learning\, and social influences\, interact to regulate food intake. My lab examines the neural circuitry involved in maintaining ingestive behaviours\, using advanced techniques including optogenetics\, chemogenetics and fibre photometry. In this talk I will present some of our recent data on the interaction between homeostatic signals and non-homeostatic factors regulating ingestive behaviour. Further\, we will examine how these neural circuits may be involved in the treatments of obesity\, specifically bariatric surgery.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Prof Katherine Boydell (Black Dog Institute\, University of New South Wales)
DESCRIPTION:Prof Katherine BoydellBlack Dog Institute\, University of New South Wales\nTitle: Using art to promote pockets of research brilliance in health \nAbstract: Arts-informed dissemination is an approach to enhancing knowledge translation in health sciences. Discourse on mental health(care) is plagued with references to issues/gaps. Media reports\, empirical studies\, and literature reviews focus on what is wrong\, much to the neglect of what is right. Yet\, evidence and anecdote suggest that\, despite challenges that hinder health care\, brilliance happens! To redress this imbalance\, we collaborated with practitioners\, scholars\, and artists to use art to promote and understand pockets of brilliance within the health system.\nWe invited practitioners and scholars to identify pockets of brilliance within their workplace and clarify why it was brilliant. We then enlisted artists to work with them to transform these pockets into art. Reflecting varied talents\, artists used textiles\, sculpture\, photography\, imagery\, and words to epitomise brilliance. During this process\, we facilitated workshops\, inviting practitioners\, scholars\, and artists to co-design these artworks with consumers and carers. We also captured artefacts via notes\, diaries\, and recordings.\nFindings suggest that art can promote experiences that are inspiring\, enriching\, and difficult to articulate. This study suggests using art to epitomise brilliance can be propelled by: a clear focus on positivity that respectfully addresses challenges; regular dialogue to foster psychological safety; and positive deviance\, whereby participants exercise initiative to challenge business-as-usual and trial innovative approaches.
