Ten things I wish I'd known before I started my dissertation… Writing a dissertation can be one of the hardest tasks a university student has to accomplish – but it will come to an end.

Ten things I wish I'd known before I started my dissertation…

Photograph: Randy Faris/Corbis The sun is shining but many students won't see the daylight. Because it's that time of year again – dissertation time. Luckily for me, my D-Day (dissertation hand-in day) has already been and gone. But I remember it well. The 10,000-word spiral-bound paper squatted on my desk in various forms of completion was my Allied forces; the history department in-tray was my Normandy. I remember first encountering the Undergraduate Dissertation Handbook, feeling my heart sink at how long the massive file took to download, and began to think about possible (but in hindsight, wildly over-ambitious) topics. 1) If your dissertation supervisor isn't right, change. 3) If they ask follow-up questions, they're probably just being polite. 4) Do not ask friends how much work they've done.

Virtual Environments in Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience - A book about the applications of virtual reality in medicine, neurology and psychology

Simon, 1966 We are entering the second wave of virtual reality (VR) applications in medicine. Surgical simulations and training, three-dimensional anatomy, and the new field of real-time three- dimensional physiological imaging are some of the more notable uses and applications of VR in the first wave in clinical medicine. Because first wave applications required and continue to require significant computing power, many of the Silicon Graphics and workstation-based technologies were well-suited to meet these demands.

The terms distress and impairment as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR) should also take into account the context of the sufferer's environment if attempting a diagnosis.

Phobia

The DSM-IV-TR states that if a phobic stimulus, whether it be an object or a social situation, is absent entirely in an environment — a diagnosis cannot be made. An example of this situation would be an individual who has a fear of mice (Suriphobia) but lives in an area devoid of mice. Even though the concept of mice causes marked distress and impairment within the individual, because the individual does not encounter mice in the environment no actual distress or impairment is ever experienced. Proximity and the degree to which escape from the phobic stimulus is impossible should also be considered.

The term phobia is encompassing and usually discussed in terms of specific phobias and social phobias. Classification[edit] Clinical[edit] Phobia Definitions. Fear Quotes. Famous Fear Quotes. Quotes About Phobias (14 quotes)
