indicate that a resonance model is supported in the context of the “memory-based text processing”
view (O’Brien & Myers, 1999) as opposed to the strong version of the constructionist views

5138.181 The new technology in psychiatry: The use of teleconferencing for international
collaboration, William Tucker, New York State Psychiatric Institute, USA
Videoconferencing technology has finally matured to the point that psychiatric interviews
conducted at a distance through this medium compare favorably to in-person interviews. Systems
are reliable and start-up costs are modest. The New York State Psychiatric Institute and faculty of
Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons have been conducting case-consultations to rural
mental health clinics across NY State through this medium for the past 4 years. Some populations,
such as children, appear to respond to this medium even better than to in-person interviews,
perhaps because of their familiarity and comfort with television. Segments of actual interviews
will illustrate this system.
5138.182 A “stagnation” model for depression: Apply TCM concept in treating depression, Yue
Mao, Siu Man Ng, Cecilia, L. W. Chan, David, Yaufai Ho, HKU, HK, China
Depression literally in English means "depressed mood". In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the
diagnosis "stagnation syndrome" has been used for about 2000 years. When western medicine
came to China, the word "depression" was translated into Chinese with reference to the TCM term
"stagnation syndrome". Our clinical experience suggests that the concept of "stagnation" is more
central to depression. Depressed mood is a consequence. Now we are trying to use the concept of
"stagnation" to built a new clinical model for depression, and trying to exam it in some clinical
trial. Scales and treatment manul is under developing.
5138.183 Processing traumatic experiences in working with holocaust survivors by creating an
album of memories, Tova Yedidia, Noga Levine-Keini, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
Holocaust survivors tend to use denial and repression mechanisms in an attempt to silence the
difficult visions and memories from their experience in the Holocaust. Particulary in old age,
people are busy trying to bring closure to their life circles. In order to accompany them in their
excruciating internal journey, a therapeutic means was developed, an album of memories,
comprised of a collage, which enables restoration, accompaniment and connecting the split in
childhood and adolescent memories to a more whole and processed life story. Clinical examples of
the use of this means will be presented in the lecture.
5138.184 A new simulation-based test in ATCS selection, Xueqin Hao, Institute of Aviation
medicine, China
Simulation-based ATC job-sample test have become an important constitute in the Air traffic
controller’s selection. In contrast to the Aptitude test, the simulation-based test measure the
comprehensive performance of all kind of relevant ATC core cognitive ability. In the past few
years, we have developed a simulation-based test known as the controller command test (CCT) in
order to select the Air traffic controller’s applicant. The CCT is a computer-based simulation test,
It mainly measure the applicant’s comprehensive performance of some ATCS core ability
including attention-share, work memory, decision making, and response speed.
