Just how prevalent is self-injury among older adults, specifically those ages 60 and over?  Do the types and methods they use differ from those who self-injure at other ages? What about the reasons they give for self-injuring? In this episode, Dr. Lisa Van Hove from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Brussels University) is the first to reveal the prevalence of self-injury and self-harm among older adults.To see Dr. Van Hove's publications, including those about self-injury among older adults, click here.

In this episode of the coach doctor podcast, I talk with Dr Andrew Higham. Andrew has recently been appointed as an Assistant Professor at Heriot Watt University in Scotland working in the areas of psychology and sport psychology. At the time of recording, he was a lecturer in sport psychology at Shefield Hallam University in England. He has published work in multiple academic journals including Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health; Psychology of Sport and Exercise and the International Sports Coaching Journal. He has also presented internationally at the International Council for Coaching Excellence Global Coach Conference, where I was fortunate to listen to Andrew speak. I was completely blown away, not just by the originality of his research, but also his passion and devotion to his subject matter. In today's conversation I wanted to discuss Andrew's research around coach well-being and unpack some of the challenges that coaches face both in the spotlight and behind the scenes in what can be a very fickle and pressure filled world. This conversation made me think a lot about my own well-being as a coach and made me consider how often I recharge my own battery. Coaching is a demanding job that requires immense dedication, time, and energy at all levels from amateur to professional. It's easy for coaches to prioritize their athletes' needs over their own, but neglecting self-care can lead to burnout, stress, and decreased effectiveness. Maintaining well-being allows coaches to be at their best, both mentally and physically. When coaches take care of themselves, they can bring more energy, positivity, and focus to their teams. This not only enhances their coaching performance but also sets a positive example for their athletes. It's important for coaches to find a balance between their professional responsibilities and personal lives. This might involve setting boundaries, seeking support from colleagues, and making time for activities that bring joy and relaxation. Coaches should feel empowered to seek help if they're struggling and to create an environment where mental health is openly discussed and supported, and organisations should also support their coaches in providing this support.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-coach-doctor-podcast--5032805/support.

In this episode, Dr. Petah M. Gibbs returns to unpack the thinking behind the supplementary set of images in the Athletic Apperception Technique (AAT). We explore why selecting specific cards can risk shaping the narrative, the importance of using the full set, and how grief, arousal, and self-diagnosis often surface in unexpected ways. Petah also shares insights on balancing emotional intensity across cards and what happens when elite athletes mislabel performance arousal as anxiety.Also, an evocative story from Paul's early career involving a response to a projective image helped us delve into how such techniques allow access to unconscious material, often unfiltered and deeply personal. Dr. Gibbs highlights the significance of silence in therapeutic work—how it invites genuine reflection and unprompted free association, echoing the principles of classic psychoanalysis. We also touch on the nuanced themes that may emerge in such assessments, including identity, sexuality, and interpersonal dynamics, illustrating that responses often transcend any fixed domain, including sport.A thoughtful, rich continuation for anyone using or curious about the AAT.Also, If you are interested in Dr. Gibbs original research study, you can find it here: Gibbs, P.

For example, psychodynamic formulations and interpretations have begun to appear more frequently in the sport psychology literature. In keeping with emerging psychodynamic viewpoints, we believe the time is right to introduce a qualitative sport-specific projective instrument: the Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT). The AAT represents a new technique based on psychodynamic theory and established projective test construction principles. It was designed primarily as a clinical tool for practitioners and not as an instrument for quantitative research into personality. It does, however, have potential research applications, especially in clinical sport case study research and narrative analysis investigations. The AAT produces an idiographic understanding of athletes' characteristics, anxieties, and motivations (both conscious and unconscious). We briefly review the literature on the development of projective techniques, explain the rationale underlying the development of the AAT, and present three sequential studies to explain the AAT image selection procedures that led to the final product.---Discover all Dr. Petah M.

In this third episode with the Athlete Apperception Technique's author Dr. Petah M. Gibbs, we unpack the art of crafting projective images for the AAT, exploring how ambiguity opens a door to the athlete's internal world. From latent stimulus meaning to the powerful pull of interpersonal relationships, we unpack what makes a picture more than just a picture. Why focus on relationships before performance themes? What does it mean when an athlete doesn't mention anyone else at all? Tune in as we discuss the psychology between the lines—on the track, the course, or the court.Also, If you are interested in Dr. Gibbs original research study, you can find it here: Gibbs, P.

IN CLEAR FOCUS: Tom Woodnutt of Feeling Mutual discusses the evolution of online qualitative research. Tom explains how asynchronous methods yield authentic insights by allowing participants to share in real-world contexts without the social pressure of focus groups. He explores maintaining engagement, AI's impact on research, and the “qual at scale” trend. While embracing AI as a powerful tool, Tom emphasizes the irreplaceable human intuition that makes great qualitative research possible.

In this episode, I reunite with Australian psychologist Dr. Petah Gibbs to delve deeper into the Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT) — a powerful projective tool developed to foster meaningful dialogue with athletes beyond performance. Together, we explore the importance of the person-first perspective, the value of context and narrative, and how AAT can help practitioners work more effectively by uncovering the lived experiences athletes project onto storytelling.We reflect on the origins of the technique, the meaning of apperception, and the influence of past psychological research. Whether you're a sport psychologist, therapist, or simply curious about innovative methods in mental health and sport, this episode invites you to rethink how we understand, connect, and work with those who play sport for a living — as people first.Importantly, Petah emphasized the flexible nature of the test's administration. There are no rigid rules: it can be used in one-on-one settings, in written form, over Zoom, or asynchronously by having clients take home the images and respond at their own pace. Some practitioners prefer using only a subset of the 10 standard images, depending on client needs. Observational data such as body language, spontaneous utterances, or emotional reactions during story generation can also add interpretative depth. While some may argue for strict procedural controls, Petah maintains a client-centered stance: “You do you. Use it how you want to use it and get the best information you can possibly get.” This philosophy aligns with his belief that the complexity of working with human beings doesn't always lend itself to rigid administration protocols.Ultimately, the AAT is proposed not as a standalone diagnostic instrument, but as a complement to other tools—questionnaires, interviews, and behavioral observations—offering nuanced, context-rich insights into athletes' emotional worlds. It invites practitioners to listen, to reflect, and to integrate, supporting a more holistic understanding of the person behind the performance.Also, If you are interested in Dr. Gibbs original research study, you can find it here: Gibbs, P.

I'm Mathias Alberton, and today we're diving deep into the origins, development, and implications of a fascinating tool in applied sport psychology—the Athlete Apperception Technique, or AAT.This is a special episode, not just because of the subject matter, but because of our guest: Dr. Petah Gibbs.Dr. Gibbs is a sport psychologist based in Australia, with an impressive career that spans collaborations with top-tier athletes and organisations in both hemispheres—from the AFL in Australia to the NBA in the United States. But what brings us together today is not just his applied experience, but his deep academic and psychoanalytic insight. Dr. Gibbs is the author and developer of the Athlete Apperception Technique—a projective test designed specifically for athletes, rooted in psychodynamic theory and inspired by tools like the TAT and the Rorschach.We first heard about the AAT through his PhD supervisor, Professor Mark B. Andersen, who called it a bold and much-needed addition to the field. But as Petah reminds us in this conversation—behind every supervisor's suggestion, there's an author willing to take the leap.In this episode, we talk about how chance meetings, lucky mentorship, and a lifelong love for psychodynamic theory led Petah to take on a PhD that would require him to bridge the gap between century-old ideas and modern elite sport. We explore how projective techniques—so often dismissed for being "too old" or "not empirical enough"—can actually give us access to the deeper layers of athletes' inner lives. Petah speaks candidly about referencing 19th-century sources in his thesis, drawing comparisons between Freud and Newton, and reminding us that while our environments evolve rapidly, human nature doesn't change all that fast.This is a rich, thoughtful conversation about theory, practice, and the humanity of sport—and I can't wait for you to hear it.Let's jump in.Also, If you are interested in Dr. Gibbs original research study, you can find it here: Gibbs, P. M., Marchant, D. B., & Andersen, M. B. (2016). Development of a clinical sport projective assessment method: The Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT). Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health, 9(1), 33–48. https://doi.org/10.1080/2159676x.2016.1180637AbstractWithin the field of applied sport psychology, there is an increasing appreciation for diversity of training models, research methodologies, and therapeutic approaches. For example, psychodynamic formulations and interpretations have begun to appear more frequently in the sport psychology literature. In keeping with emerging psychodynamic viewpoints, we believe the time is right to introduce a qualitative sport-specific projective instrument: the Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT). The AAT represents a new technique based on psychodynamic theory and established projective test construction principles. It was designed primarily as a clinical tool for practitioners and not as an instrument for quantitative research into personality. It does, however, have potential research applications, especially in clinical sport case study research and narrative analysis investigations. The AAT produces an idiographic understanding of athletes' characteristics, anxieties, and motivations (both conscious and unconscious). We briefly review the literature on the development of projective techniques, explain the rationale underlying the development of the AAT, and present three sequential studies to explain the AAT image selection procedures that led to the final product.---Discover all Dr. Petah M.

Sport psychology meets psychoanalysis in this deep dive into the Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT) — a powerful, yet underused projective tool developed from the legacy of the Rorschach and TAT. With the birth of the AAT, we open up the conversation on what truly lies beneath performance. Discover what happens when athletes narrate ambiguous images, and how this "Blade Runner" test for the soul might reveal more than expected. In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Professor Mark B. Andersen about the AAT and to explore its implication for sport psychology and how it could help athletes beyond their performance issues.Mark B. Andersen, PhD, is an adjunct professor at Halmstad University in Sweden. He lives in Australia and collaborates intercontinentally with his Swedish colleagues in the areas of research, training, and supervision in applied sport and exercise psychology. Andersen is a registered psychologist in Australia and is licensed to practice psychology in the United States. He is the former editor of the Professional Practice section of the international journal The Sport Psychologist. He has published 9 books, and more than 190 refereed journal articles and book chapters. He has made more than 100 national and international conference presentations, including 17 invited keynote addresses on four continents.As a Supervisor, he contributed to Dr. Petah Gibbs' PhD research study: Gibbs, P.

There is a long tradition of debates on how to address the quality and rigor of qualitative research. In sport and exercise psychology (SEP), the relativist perspective has been the dominant viewpoint in these debates. In the absence of published critiques of the relativist perspective in SEP, Drs Ronkainen and Wiltshire wrote a paper Rethinking validity in qualitative sport and exercise psychology research: a realist perspective. They argued that the relativist approach becomes problematic when attempting to reject the “anything goes” problem because of the assumptions of internal, multiple, and mind-dependent realities. Drawing on realist literature in other fields of social science, they proposed using realist principles of ontological plausibility, empirical adequacy and practical utility in working with threats to validity. ___________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- Learn more about Fibion Flash - a versatile customizable tool with HRV and accelerometry capability.  --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy. Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Fibion Helix – Ideal for large scale studies.

You set up an assumption, you have a theory, you analyze your data, and you show that the assumption does not hold. Doing good qualitative research is that simple. Except that it's not, of course. On the ground, in the research and writing process, these basic rules can be quite tricky to implement. So we discuss some heuristics researchers can use to limit their conversants, settle on suitable theoretical lenses to examine their data, and collecting more data than what they thought was necessary.   References Geertz, C.

Welcome back to The Thrivecast! Today, Jason sits down for part 2 of his episode with Ian Vacin where they finish their teaching from the highly successful Deeper Weekend conference. This episode is a follow up from Ian's sessions at Deeper Weekend and they dive into the Qualitative Research they are doing for their upcoming book on Human Capacity. Come learn about the 7 qualitative research findings that help firms reach profitability and firm success.

By Bram Duffee, PhD, EMT-P Qualitative research often remains a mystery to those in medicine who are accustomed to the clear-cut, numerical results of quantitative studies. Yet, when it comes to understanding complex, human-centric issues, qualitative research is indispensable. Take the COVID-19 pandemic, for example—an event where numbers alone cannot fully capture the profound human experiences involved. Unlike quantitative research, which answers yes or no questions or delivers numerical data, qualitative methods delve deeper into the human elements of a topic. One powerful approach is conducting interviews, especially when the interviewer shares a cultural or professional background with the participants as an insider to the community. This method promotes openness and authentic disclosure, as demonstrated in two studies exploring the experiences of paramedics during the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent episode of "EMS Research with Professor Bram" a spotlight was cast on these insights.1 Paramedic researcher Nigel Barr, PhD, RN, RP, from Australia shared his research study where they interviewed Australian paramedics about the challenges and facilitators they faced while responding to COVID-19 cases. His research uncovered themes that included communication, fear and risk, leadership, protective work factors, and change. Intriguingly, some paramedics reported a reduced perception of risk and heightened empathy for COVID-19 patients after personally contracting the virus themselves.2 Highlighting the significance of qualitative research, Dr. Barr remarks, "Numbers work well for testing theories, but when it comes to generating new ones, the hard work of interviews, coding and theming is essential." Parallel to this, as a paramedic researcher myself, I was conducting a similar study in the United States, interviewing American paramedics. This research was different because it sought to understand how treatment of respiratory patients shifted when looking at the time before covid versus during the pandemic. Findings of this study showed that paramedics had a tendency to over-categorize all respiratory patients as COVID-positive. Also, participants noted changes in practice, such as reduced use of stethoscopes and avoidance of nebulized treatments in confined spaces due to transmission fears.3 These qualitative studies offer insights that mere data cannot, underscoring the need for paramedics to engage in research that directly impacts their field. “We should be trying to support the capacity of paramedics to do research. We should have the control over our own discipline ... Because if we take research from another discipline, another area, another setting, it is always going to be a square peg round hole. We have to test those outcomes in our own environment. We have to find out what works. What doesn't work,” says Dr. Barr. Research studies involving paramedics in both Australia and the United States demonstrate the unique benefits of qualitative research through interviews. By employing paramedic researchers to engage directly with their peers on topics that deeply impact them, these studies reveal the nuanced understanding that only rich, narrative-driven descriptions can provide. Qualitative interviews shed light on the human side of medical practice, revealing details and challenges that numbers alone might miss. These interviews help us understand the deeper aspects of healthcare, offering insights that go beyond traditional numbers. References https://youtu.be/_lBTF-8x7p4 Howarth, U., Zimmerman, P.

Conceptual papers that offer new theories are hard to write and even harder to publish. You do not have empirical data to back up your arguments, which makes the papers easy to reject in the review cycle. We are also typically not well trained in theorizing, and there isn't even a clear process to theorizing we could learn or follow. Does that mean that we shouldn't even try to write theory papers? We ponder these questions, figure out what is so hard in writing conceptual papers – and share a few tricks that might help if you still wanted to write such a paper.  References Berente, N., Gu, B., Recker, J., & Santhanam, R.

While we often like to talk about research findings that shows us statistical significance in data and solid numbers we can lean on for treatment approaches… What about the kind of data that ISN'T objectively measured? The kind that shows us what patients or other clinicians experience think, or believe. I'm talking about qualitative research! Is qualitative research viewed as “less reputable” than quantitative research? What kind of valuable information can we pull from patient experiences, opinions, and views?

LowCarbUSA co-founders Doug Reynolds and Pam Devine recently sat down with Dr. Erin Bellamy, a ketogenic specialist and metabolic health practitioner, for an illuminating podcast episode. Dr. Bellamy, who holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of East London and an MSc in psychiatric research from King's College London, brings a wealth of experience in using ketogenic metabolic therapy to improve mental health. A Journey into Ketogenic Diets and Mental Health Dr. Bellamy began the conversation by sharing her journey into the field of ketogenic diets and mental health. Her interest was sparked during her time working in psychiatric inpatient units, where she noticed a connection between diet and mental well-being. "I always had an interest in nutrition and diets," she explained, recounting her early research on eating disorders and her personal struggles with weight. Her curiosity led her to explore the impact of low carbohydrate diets on type 2 diabetes and subsequently on mental health. She recalled discovering a 1965 study on the ketogenic diet and schizophrenia, which demonstrated significant improvements in patients' symptoms. This study ignited her passion for investigating the potential of ketogenic diets to support mental health, ultimately leading to her PhD research. Pam highlighted the burgeoning interest in this field and the importance of collaboration among researchers and practitioners. Erin echoed this sentiment, expressing her excitement about the growing momentum in the field of metabolic psychiatry. "It's mind-boggling to me that we are actually building a little bit of momentum," she said. "We might actually get somewhere." The Foundational Role of Nutrition Throughout the interview, Erin emphasized the foundational role of nutrition in mental health. She likened metabolic health to a pyramid, with stable blood sugar levels, good sleep, and strong social connections forming the base. "You need a strong, healthy foundation," she stressed. Only after solidifying this foundation should individuals consider other interventions, such as hormonal testing or specialized therapies. One of the most impactful insights she shared was the transformative effect of nutritional ketosis on mental resilience. "Once you have somebody on a ketogenic diet for a while, they start to feel that kind of Zen feeling and sense of calm," she observed. This newfound stability enables individuals to effectively utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and other therapeutic tools. "It seems like through nutritional ketosis, people seem to have a bit more buffer space," she added. Erin's approach underscores the importance of addressing the root causes of mental health conditions. Her work demonstrates the potential of ketogenic diets to not only improve physical health but also to provide a foundation for mental well-being. As the field of metabolic psychiatry continues to grow, her insights offer a promising perspective on the integration of nutrition and mental health. Pam shared an anecdote highlighting the profound impact of metabolic health on anxiety. She recounted a story about someone who had a severe fear of bees, which subsided once they achieved metabolic health through ketosis. This led to a deeper discussion about the physiological and hormonal changes brought about by ketosis. "The really cool thing about ketones is they have lots of different roles," Erin explained. "One of them is their anti-inflammatory properties, and another is that they are anxiolytic, meaning they reduce anxiety in the body." Qualitative Research on Ketogenic Therapy for Depression Erin also discussed her recent research, which focuses on the qualitative experiences of individuals using ketogenic metabolic therapy for depression. Her study revealed that those with higher levels of depressive symptoms found it easier to adhere to the ketogenic diet and reported significant improvements in self-esteem, motivation, and overall outlook on life. "One participant said he had a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in life," she shared, highlighting the transformative potential of the diet. Doug noted the importance of these personal stories in convincing others to try ketogenic metabolic therapy, recounting a Symposium for Metabolic Health held in Boca Raton back in 2020 when Christopher Palmer MD, a Harvard psychiatrist, delivered a powerful presentation where he described a case of a patient with schizophrenia.  Palmer went into great detail explaining how traumatic the person's life was beforehand, and then told the story of how the patient used a ketogenic diet to effectively put his schizophrenia into remission. “No meds, functioning as a regular person in society,” Doug recounted. “And I'm even choking up now with that," he said. "It was amazing. And everybody in attendance just sat there and looked at each other. I think everybody had a lump in their throat. I had to kick off the Q&A session after that, and I couldn't speak." Doug continued, "What you're doing, Erin, relating all of these other anecdotes and these people's experiences, I think that's what's going to convince people that this is something that's worth trying much more than somebody giving them the physiology of it behind it – This is how different your life can be. I think that's huge." The Importance of Proper Medical Supervision Erin concluded by emphasizing the importance of proper medical supervision for individuals on psychiatric medications who wish to try the ketogenic diet. She advised working closely with a knowledgeable professional to ensure safe medication adjustments and overall well-being. Accreditation and Ethical Standards of The SMHP In the podcast, Erin emphasized the value of her accreditation as a Metabolic Health Practitioner (MHP) through the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (The SMHP™). She noted that prior to The SMHP, there was no international consensus on guidelines for therapeutic carbohydrate restriction or ethics in the field. She stressed the importance of having a governing body like The SMHP that works to establish clinical guidelines, ethics, and scope of practice. This helps ensure MHPs are providing safe and beneficial care to clients. She appreciates being part of a like-minded group of practitioners who have access to science backed information from a trusted organization.  As a chartered psychologist, under the jurisdiction of the British Psychological Society, she is governed by ethical standards through her professional body. She sees The SMHP membership as complementing this, allowing her metabolic health work to be backed by a trusted society.  Access the full podcast interview here. 9th Annual San Diego Symposium for Metabolic Health The 9th Annual San Diego Symposium for Metabolic Health will be held August 15-18.
