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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

This memorable annual dinner ended on the<br />

melodious musical compositions of Ms. Sheeba Ashiq<br />

and Mr. Ashir Ashiq, but this journey will continue to<br />
