Kotin & Associates; Georgia Sheridan, AICP, Urban Designer, Torti Gallas and Partners Proposed as a cure-all, mixed-use is called forth to reduce traffic, improve walkability, boost economic development, and generate often intangible levels of urban 'livability.' This panel looks at when, where and how mixed-use development does and doesn't work from an architectural, urban design, planning, and economic perspective. Through an inter-disciplinary discussion, the panelists answer the following questions: Where does mixed-use work best? Why doesn't it work everywhere? Does mixed-use guarantee an active urban environment? When are the costs and challenges for mixed-use development worth it? Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
| | | APSA_NY12-204 | | Scientific Paper Prize for Psychoanalytic Research: Changes of brain activation pre- post short-term psychodynamic inpatient psychotherapy: An fMRI study of panic disorder patients Speakers: Manfred E. Beutel, MD, (Mainz, Germany); Jerald Kay, MD (Dayton, OH); Barbara Milrod, MD (New York, NY) A number of neuro-imaging studies have shown that effective psychotherapy also affects brain function. Based on a brief review of pertinent methods and previous findings, the first functional MRI study assessing panic disorder patients before and after psychodynamic therapy are presented. The results indicate psychodynamic treatment leads to changes in fronto-limbic circuitry, similar to previous findings on cognitive-behavioral treatments. In the analyses of long-term follow-up data, evidence further shows that the change in amygdala reactivity is predictive of improvement 3 years post-treatment. Opportunities and limitations of the application of neuro-imaging technologies in psychotherapy research are discussed. | | MP3 | | $20.00 | | $20.00 | |
