A Journey from Dependence, through Independence,<br />
to Interdependence<br />
Mariyam Rizvi<br />
MSCP-I<br />
Moving on in life we climb different ladders of<br />
maturity. We step into the circle of life being totally dependent<br />
on others. We are directed, nurtured and sustained<br />
by others. We look up to them for the fulfillment<br />
of our each and every need and find ourselves totally<br />
'dependent' on them.<br />
Then gradually moving ahead over the ensuing<br />
years we learn to help ourselves. We know the direction;<br />
we nurture ourselves and fight through the life's<br />
challenges. In other words we become 'independent'<br />
and more and more self reliant physically, mentally,<br />
emotionally and financially.<br />
Taking another step ahead on the ladder, we<br />
discover that our achievements are not only the work of<br />
our own capabilities but also the contribution of our relationships.<br />
We are 'interdependent'. According to<br />
Stephen R. Covey (1978), dependence is the paradigm<br />
of 'you'. Independence is the paradigm of 'I' and interdependence<br />
is the paradigm of 'we'"<br />
In this respect if someone is physically dependent<br />
upon others, he would need others to help him<br />
move or walk or do anything he desires from his physi.<br />
cal self. If someone is independent mentally, he would<br />
think on his own, have his own thought patterns and<br />
can create his own abstractions. It can be seen that<br />
independence is an achievement and at the forefront of<br />
dependence. But independence is not supreme rather<br />
a way to supremacy. It is more internal rather than external.<br />
Living in the world of material we cannot harvest<br />
before we plant. Implanting independence leads us to<br />
practice interdependence.<br />
As an interdependent person, we realize and<br />
have a chance to interrelate our abilities, thought pat.<br />
terns, abstractions and maturity of emotions with the<br />
capabilities of others giving rise to a more furnished,<br />
comprehensive and absolute reality. Interdependence<br />
is the tool well suited with reality, as life by nature is<br />
highly interdependent.<br />
As interdependent beings we have the opportunity<br />
to connect ourselves meaningfully to the vast resources<br />
of others giving rise to masterpieces at every<br />
instance of conjunction. In this context, the best exam.<br />
pie of interdependence that crossed my mind was<br />
building of the first doctor of philosophy in the Clinical<br />
Psychology Department at GCU. The vast experience,<br />
resources and expertise of each and every member of<br />
the staff helped reach the department<br />
-touching<br />
height.<br />
to the current sky<br />
Hence, being a part of this interdependent<br />
world, being interdependent<br />
harmony with the natural laws of grow1h.<br />

the underlying causes. Another way of understanding<br />
behavior is adopted by laymen. They are used to believe<br />
that demons are forces that. are controlling the<br />
abnormal behavior. In my village, when I met with the<br />
family of a child having epilepsy and got to know their<br />
side of perception that the child is under the control of a<br />
supernatural being even though some people told them<br />
the child is having epilepsy.<br />
I just fell sorry at their ignorance because in my<br />
point of view I cannot change their frame of mind with<br />
in a second by waving a magical wand. During placement<br />
in a special education institute it was the first time<br />
in my life when I was compelled to think like a layman,<br />
after my first interaction with a girl with special needs.<br />
In the first session, she was not sitting on the seat and<br />
was roaming around in the room. When I instructed her<br />
strictly and forcefully sat her on the seat, she just<br />
laughed loudly. Whenever I asked her to do something<br />
she laughed freely. I was amazed at her that how such<br />
a little girl with special needs can make fun of me and<br />
from where she has got such force to be rebellious. Il<br />
was the first time that I felt inclined to resort to the<br />
strongly held layman belief: "The girl's behavior was not<br />
her own, she was under the influence of a supernatural<br />
force."<br />
It was my first exposure in the field and with special<br />
children that has changed my feelings for these<br />
children. The first thought was that these children<br />
should not be the way they are ; why did Allah created<br />
them in this way? Why are they facing these troubles?<br />
These thoughts pushed me towards despair. But after<br />
some time, I overcame the emotional strain and collected<br />
all my energies to help these deprived children.<br />
My life started revolving around searching new ways and<br />
strategies to understand<br />
these children and then to devise<br />
different means, to improve their functional level. Whenever<br />
a new child was referred, I looked at the typical<br />
symptoms of the disorder and tried to decipher the symptoms<br />
in a different behavior. It was the first time when I<br />
got to know the difference between reading something in<br />
a book and its manifestation<br />
in a practical life.<br />
Working with these children showed me another<br />
face of life- a broader view that is beyond the daily life<br />
hassles and political and social situations in the country.<br />
With no exaggeration, it has become a life time experience<br />
of searching for hope in the sea of despair.<br />
Prevention And Management Of Posttraumatic<br />
Stress Disorder<br />
Saba Akram<br />
Clinical Psychologist<br />
MT was a 25 years old lady, working in a hospital.<br />
She came to psychiatric GPO with the symptoms of<br />
sleep disturbances, occupational difficulties, avoidance of<br />
roads near her work place, distressing flash backs and<br />
nightmares. She started having these symptoms after a<br />
bomb blast near her hospital. According to her, she witnessed<br />
the whole traumatic event of suicide bombing, had<br />
seen damaged vehicles, injured people and dead bodies.<br />
After few weeks of that incident, the above mentioned<br />
presenting complaints developed and the duration of<br />
these symptoms had been 6 weeks. She often reexperienced<br />
the traumatic event and finds it difficult to<br />
continue her job because everyday she had to take the<br />
same road to her office on which the bomb blast took

place. After meeting the Psychiatrist and the clinical<br />
psychologist the patient came to know that she had<br />
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).<br />
Unfortunately, our country is on the top of the<br />
list of countries affected by such terrorist attacks and all<br />
the above mentioned symptoms are not unusual for the<br />
survivors.<br />
PTSD is caused by any life threatening event<br />
or natural disaster such as earthquake, rape, flood,<br />
child or domestic abuse, bomb blasts and so on. Posttraumatic<br />
Stress Disorder is a type of anxiety disorders<br />
in which a person experiences symptoms inciuding<br />
flash backs of the traumatic events, night mares, disturbance<br />
in sleep, avoidance of topics and places related<br />
to the traumatic event etc. Due to these symptoms,<br />
different aspects of patient's life get affected such as<br />
social relations, occupational, educational and family<br />
life. Some people are more vulnerable to developing<br />
PTSD such as prisoners of war, soldiers, people who<br />
have seen any traumatic event in the past, having poor<br />
coping skills with stress related situations, parental discords<br />
and so on.<br />
In order to manage PTSD, first of all, it is important<br />
for the patient and the family to understand<br />
what Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is. Thus, psychoeducation<br />
is very important. Through psychoeducation,<br />
the patient and hislher family understands<br />
the symptoms of the disorder, course of the problem,<br />
nature of therapy required and its prognosis.<br />
One of the major psychotherapeutic approaches<br />
to deal with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is<br />
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Through Cognitive<br />
Behavior Therapy, the patient is helped in identifying<br />
cognitive errors in his/her thinking and the patient<br />
learns how to change negative cognitions into positive<br />
ones. There is a strong relationship between cognitions<br />
and behavior. When the cognitions are constructive,<br />
they will lead to directed behavior. Different techniques<br />
of CBT can be used such as cognitive restructuring and<br />
exposure therapy in order to manage the symptoms of<br />
PTSD.<br />
Crisis Intervention can also be helpful in managing<br />
the symptoms of PTSD. Through crisis intervention,<br />
the patient gets an understanding of his behavior,<br />
emotions and feelings about the traumatic event and its<br />
major emphasis is on bringing the patient to the previous<br />
level of functioning and to gain knowledge of his/<br />
her strengths. Through problem solving skills, the patient<br />
is taught how to cope with stress related situations<br />
during PTSD and in future as well.<br />
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is a<br />
form of crisis intervention. It is suitable for any population.<br />
In this technique, small groups are formed and<br />
patients describe in detail the thoughts, emotions and<br />
feelings related to the critical incident and also related<br />
physical sensations. Methods for dealing with stress<br />
related situations are also discussed simultaneously.<br />
Other important approaches for the management<br />
of PTSD include Eye Movement Desensitization<br />
and Reprocessing (EM DR) technique. In EMDR, the<br />
therapist teaches the patient to cope with negative beliefs<br />
and frightening traumatic memories through rapid<br />
eye movements. With this technique, the patient learns<br />
how to replace negative cognitions with positive and<br />
healthy ones. Some relaxation techniques are also in<br />
EM DR to relieve the patient of the distress caused by

the traumatic event.<br />
Sometimes, after the traumatic event, the person<br />
may indulg!l in drug abuse, develops suicidal tendencies<br />
and other symptoms of depression. Thus the<br />
management of PTSD needs to be multidimensional.<br />
The few techniques discussed here are considered to<br />
be instrumental in minimizing the symptoms of PTSD<br />
but because of the security risks in our country, there is<br />
a great need of trained mental health professionals who<br />
can help people deal with psychological difficulties related<br />
to PTSD. It is incumbent upon the Govemment to<br />
develop such programs and understand the importance<br />
of Trauma management because of the multifarious<br />
benefits it offers once initiated.<br />
Dreams ... Or More<br />
Maryam Reza<br />
MSCP -II<br />
She sat kneeling on the grass, her eyes slightly<br />
blurred and focused on the dreams only she could see.<br />
Her hands touched the blooming flowers she had<br />
planted herself, which she held closer to her heart than<br />
everything else. The grass in her little garden sparkled<br />
and shimmered with tiny, crystal drops of morning dew.<br />
Turning her face up to the sun, she let its warmth cascade<br />
over her and fill the tiny, cold corners in her heart;<br />
feeling the light breeze, soft as a wish, gentle as a kiss.<br />
Closing her eyes, she hummed with the music that only<br />
she could hear.<br />
Sighing poignantly, as if still caught in her own<br />
little dream-world, she slowly opened her eyes and saw<br />
mo curious little brown eyes peeking at her, from<br />
among her rosebushes. The woman smiled and a little<br />
face emerged from the bushes. The little girl smiled<br />
shyly and wandered over hesitantly.<br />
Soundlessly, she sat beside the ethereally<br />
beautiful and strangely serene woman, watching her<br />
with wide, fascinated eyes. The woman lifted up a<br />
cupped hand and a vibrantly colored butterfly landed on<br />
it. She stroked its delicate wings, the little girl was looking<br />
at her with an enraptured expression and whispered.<br />
"They never come this close to me".<br />
The woman looked at the child, tenderness in<br />
her expression, and moved the hand cupping the butterfly<br />
towards her. The child's smile shone out like a<br />
startling beam of sunlight.<br />
"Is this Heaven?'<br />
The woman only smiled in response.<br />
The butterfly flew away to dance to the un.<br />
earthly, whispery music of the wind.<br />
"Please, can I stay here forever?'<br />
The woman cupped the tiny face in her hands<br />
and kissed the tip of the nose gently.<br />
"This is wherever you want it to be, little faerie.<br />
Stay, for as long as your heart desires. This place and<br />
all in it belongs to yo{/'.<br />
Somehow, the soft musical voice seemed to<br />
echo around the angelic little garden.<br />
The child climbed into the woman's lap, her little voice<br />
quavered as she spoke,<br />
"Are you my mother? My daddy told me she<br />
died and became an angel and that she can see me<br />
from the sky and I can dream about her whenever I

her lips to the child's soft,<br />
soft hair, her heart breaking a lillie as she sensed the<br />
sadness emanating from the lillie girl's lillie body, and<br />
her brave, so brave lillie voice.<br />
In answer she only whispered,<br />
"Believe<br />

very hard to fail in fulfilling that hope ...<br />
to be some one's "hope" but<br />
While my stay at a special education school, I<br />
had to make assessment and management plans for<br />
children. Over there, I experienced many new things,<br />
faced many new challenges and went through new<br />
emotions. I interacted with many children and their<br />
famiiies. This interaction revealed different dimensions<br />
of problems faced by these children. Here, I would like<br />
to share the circumstances and problems faced by a 13<br />
year old boy. He was having many problems<br />
like stuttering,<br />
epilepsy and most challenging mental retardation.<br />
Now one can easily predict what kind of a life was<br />
ahead of him. We remain ungrateful most of the time<br />
even after having countless blessings from Allah, but<br />
when I met that child, I realized that how blessed we<br />
are. We are normal and complete<br />
human beings. Feeling<br />
of contentment...<br />
But that was just one part of the story. Now<br />
come towards another part ... Whenever I had sessions<br />
with that child, it gave me a feeling of satisfaction because,<br />
when the child did required tasks and I reinforced<br />
him, I could see a shine in his eyes and a sparkling<br />
face. It had always given me a sense of accomplishment;<br />
a feeling of triumph that was unexplainable. I<br />
never experienced such sentiments before, so it was a<br />
unique experience. A sense of achievement.<br />
Now come towards the last part of the story ...<br />
When I had to call the child's mother to get some detailed<br />
information regarding his developmental history,<br />
she was unable to come to the school as had another<br />
son who was mentally retarded as well, and she had to<br />
look after him at home. So I decided to send her a list<br />
of questions regarding the boy's development. I wrote<br />
all the questions on a paper, and asked the boy to<br />
handover that paper to his mother. I also called his<br />
mother to explain the purpose of sending the questions.<br />
But when I called, there was a new situation<br />
waiting for me to be handled with care. The call was<br />
received by the child's grandfather who at once got<br />
worried and asked if there was something wrong done<br />
by their child? If there was something bad happened<br />
with the child? I tried to calm him down and told him<br />
about my role and the reason of calling. Then, he got<br />
reiaxed and the next day I received a paper from the<br />
child on which there were detailed answers of all the<br />
questions I had asked from his mother. When I got<br />
those papers from the child, it made me realize that,<br />
what a miracle his family was expecting from me. His<br />
mother had sent me all the necessary details, all the<br />
relevant information, for just one thing. hope .<br />

would be enjoying all the tastes of life like other children<br />
of his age. At that point I felt that, it is very pleasing<br />
to be some' one's "hope" but very hard to remain<br />
incapable of fulfilling that hope. I am saying so because,<br />
I am just a human being, I could just try to bring<br />
some improvement in his limited areas of functioning<br />
but doing miracles was out of my reach.<br />

Redemption<br />
Mishal Tariq<br />
Semester III<br />
The movie 'The<br />
Shawshank Redemption' is<br />
about a young and suc.<br />
cessful banker whose life<br />
changes drastically when<br />
he is falsely convicted and<br />
sentenced to life imprison.<br />
ment for murder. Andrew Dufresne is sent to Shaw.<br />
shank Prison, where the usual unpleasantness occurs.<br />
He is very isolated and lonely at first, but realizes that<br />
there is something deep inside one's self, which people<br />
cannot touch. That thing is 'hope'.<br />
Over the years, he retains hope and eventually<br />
gains the respect of his fellow inmates, especially longtime<br />
convict "Red" Redding, a black marketer with<br />
whom he becomes close friends. Due to his knowledge<br />
of banks and their working, he becomes influential<br />
within the prison giving important financial advice to the<br />
guards and even the warden, who with the help of Andy<br />
creates a millionaire pllantom. Andy with his spirit and<br />
determination, leads us into a world full of imagination,<br />
filled with courage and desire. After 19 years of undeserved<br />
imprisonment he is finally able to escape,<br />
through a small tunnel he carves in the wall with a rock<br />
hammer.<br />
Set in the 1940's, the film shows how Andy,<br />
with the help of his friend Red, turns out to be a most<br />
unconventional prisoner, one whose body may be<br />
imprisoned<br />

but the spirit and hope is free. The idea of<br />
the movie is best summed<br />

Psycho is a thrilling movie (1960) directed by<br />
Alfred Hitchcock. A very famous and classical movie<br />
which portrayed serious psychopathology on screen in<br />
a beautiful manner. The story mainly revolved around 3<br />
main characters i.e. Marion crane, Norman bates, and<br />
his mother.<br />
In the beginning, Marion steals money of her<br />
employer's client and ran away from the city. On her<br />

Alumni Dinner 2010<br />
The Department of Clinical Psychology and its<br />
blossoming Alumni Society have been achieving new<br />
milestones. Every year, a memorable evening is arranged<br />
for old students of the Department of Clinical<br />
add more rhythmic notes of success and accornplishments<br />
in the composition of this association and Department.<br />
Psychology under the umbrella of this society. This annual<br />
dinner brings the recollection of steaming memories<br />
of old students and also provides them an opportunity<br />
to share their achievements and successes of professional<br />
as well as personal lives. The dinner of<br />
Alumni Society was held on 12th of November, 2010<br />
with many special aims. First was celebrating the 5th<br />
birthday of the Department of Clinical Psychology<br />
which made this dinner more auspicious. The Vice<br />
Chancellor at that time, Dr. Khalid Aftab graced this<br />
occasion and cut the cake of the 5th anniversary. The<br />
short but progressive history of the developments in the<br />
Department were made public by Dr. Zahid Mahmood.<br />
The second aim was the first constitution of the Alumni<br />
Society that was presented and approved by two-third<br />
of the majority of the members. Aiso elections for executive<br />
seats of Alumni Society were held and the<br />
Former VC cutting cake of<br />
Department's 5th Birthday<br />
members of executive body were selected with the consensus<br />
of all the members of the association. Alumni<br />
society acknowledged the academic achievements of<br />
the position holders of the Department presented and<br />
them with shields. Hopefully, this appreciating gesture<br />
would spur the ambitions and motivation of other students<br />
to achieve their academic milestones goals.<br />

melodious musical compositions of Ms. Sheeba Ashiq<br />
and Mr. Ashir Ashiq, but this journey will continue to<br />
