This book was released on 2004 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation process leading to a doctorate has a long history. In clinical psychology the dissertation has been an especially prominent topic at numerous conferences over the span of several decades. Discussions regarding the purpose, methodology, and ultimate usefulness of the dissertation process continued with the advent of the Doctor of Psychology degree, or Psy.D. Initial Psy.D. degree granting institutions were established for professional psychologists (rather that the research oriented Ph.D. degree), and did not include mandatory traditional dissertations as part of their degree requirements. However, the Chicago School of Professional Psychology utilizes a dissertation process as part of the doctoral students' training and degree requirements. This study provided questionnaires to internship Directors of Training, and current students and graduates of the Chicago School to evaluate the dissertation process across multiple criteria. Students and graduates alike, though working or aspiring to work in predominantly clinical, non-research oriented positions, reported the dissertation process as moderately important in their training, and as helpful in providing competency across particular criteria, such as conducting a literature review.

Download or read book Differences in Graduate Students Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Help as a Function of Field of Study written by Brie Jeweler-Bentz and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals' attitudes toward seeking psychological help play a major role in determining their actual help-seeking behavior. Among college student populations, research has focused on psychological help-seeking attitudes in an effort to understand the characteristics of college students who do and do not seek psychological treatment. These help-seeking attitudes have been found to be related to a variety of demographic and psychological variables. The present study investigated the extent to which differences in psychological help-seeking attitudes exist as a function of one particular demographic variable, field of study, in a university graduate student sample. Students in the social sciences were found to have significantly more positive help-seeking attitudes than students in both natural science and applied fields. Clinical Psychology students held the most positive attitudes toward seeking psychological help. These results may be of particular interest to college counseling center staff who wish to maximize the likelihood that students in need of psychological services actually seek treatment. Specific implications for counseling centers are discussed.

Download or read book Counseling Muslims written by Sameera Ahmed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young female client presents with anorexia nervosa and believes that her problem has its roots in magic; parents are helpless in the face of their son's substance abuse issues; an interracial couple cannot agree on how to discipline their children. How would you effectively help these clients while balancing appropriate interventions that are sensitive to religious, cultural, social, and gender differences? This handbook answers these difficult questions and helps behavioral health practitioners provide religio-culturally-competent care to Muslim clients living in territories such as North America, Australia, and Europe. The issues and interventions discussed in this book, by authoritative contributors, are diverse and multifaceted. Topics that have been ignored in previous literature are introduced, such as sex therapy, substance abuse counseling, university counseling, and community-based prevention. Chapters integrate tables, lists, and suggested phrasing for practitioners, along with case studies that are used by the authors to help illustrate concepts and potential interventions. Counseling Muslims is also unique in its broad scope, which reflects interventions ranging from the individual to community levels, and includes chapters that discuss persons born in the West, converts to Islam, and those from smaller ethnic minorities. It is the only guide practitioners need for information on effective service delivery for Muslims, who already bypass significant cultural stigma and shame to access mental health services.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study explored socialization variables (academic discipline, part-time versus full-time enrollment status, and student involvement with research and teaching assistantships) and educational psychological variables (academic help-seeking attitudes, achievement goal orientations, and dissertation self-efficacy) in relation to dissertation progress. The primary research questions were 1) What is the unique relationship between the educational psychological variables of academic help-seeking attitudes, achievement goal orientations, dissertation self-efficacy, and dissertation progress over and above the socialization variables of academic discipline, enrollment status, and student involvement in research and teaching assistantships? 2) Is there a significant difference between the academic help-seeking attitudes of PhD candidates and PhD graduates? 3) Is there a significant difference in academic help-seeking attitudes, achievement goal orientations, dissertation self-efficacy, and dissertation progress based on academic discipline using Holland's theory? Participants were two groups (N = 445) from 92 academic majors and 46 invited universities across the United States: PhD candidates (N = 236) who had completed coursework, passed oral and written comprehensive exams and were currently enrolled in a PhD program; and PhD graduates (N = 209) who had earned their degrees. The two groups were further divided into the Holland categories of Artistic, Enterprising, Investigative, and Social categories. Respondents completed an on-line survey consisting of 3 previously-validated questionnaires with minimal word modification. Results for queston 1 revealed dissertation self-efficacy to significantly and positively predict dissertation progress over and above teaching assistanships. Further analyses revealed performance-approach and help-seeking approach to significantly and positively predict dissertation self-efficacy. Results for question 2 revealed no significant difference between the academic help-seeking attitudes of PhD candidates and PhD graduates. Results for question 3 revealed that physical and life sciences PhD candidates (Holland category of Investigative) significantly differed from social sciences PhD candidates (Holland category of Social) and had higher means for mastery and performance-approach. Implications of this study are addressed. .
Download or read book The Wellness Positive Psychological Attitudes and Perceived Faculty Support of Counseling Psychology Doctoral Students written by Linnea T. Bailey and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assessed the extent to which the wellness and positive psychological attitudes of counseling psychology doctoral students differed across gender and year in program. Additionally, the variables of gender and year in program were examined in relation to levels of perceived faculty support. Finally, this study explored the degree to which faculty support predicted the wellness and positive psychological attitudes of counseling psychology doctoral students. A total of 445 counseling psychology doctoral students from 22 APA approved programs located across the United States participated in the study. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant gender differences, year in program differences, or gender and year in program interaction on the variables of wellness, positive psychological attitudes and faculty support. It was also hypothesized that the level of perceived support by faculty members would not predict wellness or positive psychological attitudes. MANOVAs, regressions, and discriminant analyses were used to test the hypotheses. Results indicated significant gender differences in the level of wellness and positive psychological attitudes, with women scoring higher than men on the wellness subscales of Health Responsibility, Nutrition, and Interpersonal Relationships, and men scoring higher than women on the positive psychological attitudes subscale of Self-confidence During Potentially Stressful Situations. No significant gender differences were found in reference to the level of perceived faculty support. Additionally, no significant year in program differences, or gender and year in program interactions were found across the variables of wellness, positive psychological attitudes and faculty support. Findings of this study did support, however, the ability of faculty support to predict the wellness and positive psychological attitudes of counseling psychology doctoral students.

Download or read book Stress Among Clinical Psychology Doctoral Students written by Narjis Fatima Hyder and published by Author House. This book was released on 2006-01-27 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressures of attaining a doctoral education among university students are well known. This dissertation examines the experience and reality of doctoral psychology students' perceived stress levels among specific years of a clinical psychology five-year doctoral program at one university. The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate any differences of student's perceived stress and sample characteristics experienced by year in the clinical doctoral psychology program. The amount of perceived stress a psychology doctoral student experiences may depend on differing variables. Psychosocial factors such as education, work, family, and relationships can detract from or contribute to the presence of either positive or negative stress during these years. Factors that may cause distress may also cause eustress. Doctoral students' response to stressors may impact physiological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. A critical issue concerning stress among doctoral students is its effect on learning and whether students will complete their doctoral program. The goal of this study is to increase knowledge of doctoral students' quality of life during the doctoral process and determine the impact of stress on academic achievement. The findings of this study show that there is no relationship between a set of demographic predictor variables (gender, age, marital/parental status, and year in doctoral program) and the level of stress due to academic concerns, family/financial concerns, or environmental concerns for doctoral students, however, a significant relationship was found between these same predictor variables and level of stress as measured by the Demand and Coping Scale. This study's results may contribute to greater understanding and support from program faculty, and help doctoral students set realistic priorities for balancing study, work and family, and reduce doctoral program attrition rates.
Download or read book The Case Against Homework written by Sara Bennett and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does assigning fifty math problems accomplish any more than assigning five? Is memorizing word lists the best way to increase vocabulary—especially when it takes away from reading time? And what is the real purpose behind those devilish dioramas? The time our children spend doing homework has skyrocketed in recent years. Parents spend countless hours cajoling their kids to complete such assignments—often without considering whether or not they serve any worthwhile purpose. Even many teachers are in the dark: Only one of the hundreds the authors interviewed and surveyed had ever taken a course specifically on homework during training. The truth, according to Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish, is that there is almost no evidence that homework helps elementary school students achieve academic success and little evidence that it helps older students. Yet the nightly burden is taking a serious toll on America’s families. It robs children of the sleep, play, and exercise time they need for proper physical, emotional, and neurological development. And it is a hidden cause of the childhood obesity epidemic, creating a nation of “homework potatoes.” In The Case Against Homework, Bennett and Kalish draw on academic research, interviews with educators, parents, and kids, and their own experience as parents and successful homework reformers to offer detailed advice to frustrated parents. You’ll find out which assignments advance learning and which are time-wasters, how to set priorities when your child comes home with an overstuffed backpack, how to talk and write to teachers and school administrators in persuasive, nonconfrontational ways, and how to rally other parents to help restore balance in your children’s lives. Empowering, practical, and rigorously researched, The Case Against Homework shows how too much work is having a negative effect on our children’s achievement and development and gives us the tools and tactics we need to advocate for change.
