This book was released on 2005-02-10 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unifying theme of this broad-reaching volume is that responsible, ethical, and effective social work practice rests on the diagnostic skills of the practitioner. Social work diagnosis refers to the conscious formulation of an ongoing set of decisions about the client and his or her situation, which serve as the basis for intervention-decisions for which the practitioner must be prepared to take responsibility. Diagnostic skill development is an ongoing process principally enhanced by a continuous commitment to remain at the cutting edge of the profession's body of knowledge, but one of the challenges for today's practitioner is keeping abreast of the rapidly expanding body of knowledge contained in some 200 important social work periodicals in circulation. Francis J. Turner, a preeminent clinical scholar, brings together in one volume some of the best work published since 2000, each reflecting new insights into understanding psychosocial situations and innovative methods of applying knowledge and skills in an increasingly effective manner. Each of the 78 articles in this volume highlights some of the critical dimensions of contemporary social work practice, guiding clinicians to address four key aspects in order to craft an accurate diagnosis. The first section presents articles covering the developmental spectrum, each of which fully explains various ages and stages of development. The second section focuses on a range of specific situations, helping practitioners and students enrich their understanding of different types of problems they meet in contemporary practice, whether they are based in mental illness, psychosocial issues, or physical ailments. The third section addresses the crucial component of diversity, demonstrating the complexity and critical importance of truly understanding clients and their lives. The last section of the book discusses innovative approaches to practice, selected to offer practitioners easy access to the latest interventions for a host of contemporary challenges facing clients and their therapists. Broad in scope and tightly focused on the goal of providing the most up-to-date information necessary for accuracy in the diagnostic process, this volume represents some of the best research available to today's social workers.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there have been studies on the meaning or function of gorilla vocalizations, they have focused on correlations between calls and basic activity states. If gorilla vocalizations, like human speech, provide information that is both semantic and emotional, then we can expect to get a richer understanding of the meaning or function of gorilla vocalizations by looking at the novel association between an individual's personality and its vocal profile (i.e. the types of calls predominantly given). Personality drives and channels behavior and is therefore a higher level of analysis than basic activity states. Four hypotheses are tested in this dissertation: 1) Personality predicts behavior in captive gorillas; 2) Personality predicts vocal behavior (i.e. the vocal profile) in captive gorillas; 3) Personality predicts subjective well-being in captive gorillas; 4) Subjective well being predicts vocal behavior (i.e. the vocal profile) in captive gorillas. To test these hypotheses, I used behavioral observation and personality and subjective well-being questionnaires on eight male gorillas (five silverbacks; three blackbacks) at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. The personality questionnaires used a modified top-down approach, i.e. a modified five-factor model used in human personality studies. A principle components analysis of the mean personality ratings revealed three components: dominance; extraversion/agreeableness; conscientiousness. This is the first study to document a conscientiousness factor in gorillas which was previously thought to exist only in chimpanzees and humans. There were 16 significant correlations between personality and behavior with an average r value of 0.76. Subjective well-being did not predict behavior with the exception of contact aggression (r=0.71). Extraversion/Agreeableness was significantly positively correlated with subjective well-being and dominance was significantly positively correlated with ability to achieve goals. Neither personality nor subjective well-being predicted vocal rate. Contrary to previous reports, the gorillas in this study did not vocalize at a significantly different rate from wild mountain gorillas. This is the first study to document individual vocal profiles of gorillas, which have implications for captive management. Implications of the "singing" and rhythmic multiple grunt vocalizations for the origins of music and language are discussed.
