Psych-Aetiology Graph (PAG)

چکیده
This paper will introduce the ‘Psych-Aetiology Graph’, PAG for short. The concept of PAG is devised by the author as a way of conceptualising/formalising/summarising the client’s condition. The term ‘Psych-Aetiology’ is used to encompass all the Bio-Psycho-Social factors contributing to the client’s presenting condition. Also, the graph has no arithmetic value and is not based on any particular measurements or calculations. The target of the PAG is the client. Its main aim (amongst many) is to educate and give the client an understanding of factors resulting or contributing to their state. It is subjective, whereby the client and the therapist must cooperate in its formation.

Factorization, Inference and Parameter Learning in Discrete Amp Chain Graphs: Addendum
A probability distribution p is Markovian wrt an AMP CG G iff the following three properties hold for all C ∈ Cc(G) (Andersson et al., 2001, Theorem 2): ● C1: C⊥pNdG(C) ∖CcG(PaG(C))∣CcG(PaG(C)). ● C2: p(C ∣CcG(PaG(C))) is Markovian wrt GC . ● C3∗: For all D ⊆ C, D⊥pCcG(PaG(C)) ∖ PaG(D)∣PaG(D). Lemma 1. C1, C2 and C3∗ hold iff the following two properties hold: ● C1∗: For all D ⊆ C, D⊥pNdG(D) ∖ ...
متن کاملFunctional subdivision of the human periaqueductal grey in respiratory control using 7 tesla fMRI
The periaqueductal grey (PAG) is a nucleus within the midbrain, and evidence from animal models has identified its role in many homeostatic systems including respiration. Animal models have also demonstrated a columnar structure that subdivides the PAG into four columns on each side, and these subdivisions have different functions with regard to respiration. In this study we used ultra-high fie...
متن کاملA Logical Characterization of Constraint-Based Causal Discovery
We present a novel approach to constraintbased causal discovery, that takes the form of straightforward logical inference, applied to a list of simple, logical statements about causal relations that are derived directly from observed (in)dependencies. It is both sound and complete, in the sense that all invariant features of the corresponding partial ancestral graph (PAG) are identified, even i...
متن کاملSpinal efferents and afferents of the periaqueductal gray Mouton, Leonora
The periaqueductal gray (PAG) plays an important role in analgesia as well as in motor activities, such as vocalization, cardiovascular changes and movements of the neck, back and hind limbs. Although the anatomical pathways for vocalization and cardiovascular control are rather well understood, this is not the case for the pathways controlling the neck, back and hind limb movements. This led u...
متن کاملEffect of Neurotensin An in vitro Study on Neurons in the Periaqueductal Gray:
The effect of neurotensin (NT) on periaqueductal gray (PAG) neurons was measured with extraand intracellular recording methods in an in vitro preparation. Neurons excited by NT were heterogeneously distributed, being preferentially located in a region of PAG rich in NT-like fiber immunoreactivity. The majority of the responsive neurons were located in regions surrounding the aqueduct and the me...
