Book Pioneering Paths in the Study of Families

Download or read book Pioneering Paths in the Study of Families written by Gary W Peterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 925 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the men and women whose groundbreaking work elevated the field of family studies! In Pioneering Paths in the Study of Families: The Lives and Careers of Family Scholars, you'll find 40 autobiographies written by leading scholars in sociology, family studies, psychology, and child development. Their fascinating stories demonstrate how their family experiences, educational opportunities, and occupational endeavors not only shaped the disciplines they chose but also shaped the theoretical perspectives they utilized and the topics they researched. From the editors: “These autobiographies document the experiences of scholars from the early twentieth century to the present. The descriptions of early influences on their education, of their graduate school experiences, and of their academic career paths, provides a wealth of valuable material. Since four of these scholars have died and a number are in their eighties or older, these histories provide rich case studies on factors that influence the decision to go to college, get married, pursue an advanced degree, make specific occupational choices, and investigate certain topics. These autobiographies also detail the barriers that early women scholars in the social sciences faced.” The scholars whose lives you will learn about in Pioneering Paths in the Study of Families include: Joan Aldous Katherine R. Allen Pauline Boss Carlfred B. Broderick Wesley R. Burr Catherine Street Chilman Harold T. Christensen Marilyn Coleman Rand D. Conger Randal D. Day William J. Doherty Evelyn Millis Duvall Glen H.

Specific chapters focus on working with women, individuals struggling with substance abuse, and clients with severely antisocial behavior such as psychopathy.

Revised using person-centered language, the tenth edition includes a new chapter focused on the necessary relational skills that probation and parole officers must have to be agents of behavior change. The content is divided into four parts: (1) A Professional Framework for Correctional Counseling; (2) Client Assessment, Diagnosis, Classification, and Case Planning; (3) Contemporary Approaches for Correctional Counseling and Treatment, and (4) Effective Correctional Interventions for Special Populations.

  • Author : George B. Palermo
  • Publisher : Charles C Thomas Publisher
  • Release : 2011-12-01
  • ISBN : 0398083517
  • Pages : 365 pages

Download or read book THE FACES OF VIOLENCE written by George B. Palermo and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly revised and rewritten, this new Second Edition addresses the manifestations of violence with an unusual clarity and down-to-earth objectivity that studies poverty, drugs, access to guns, joblessness, poor education, inadequate housing, and the lack of stability that comes from an integrated family. Doctor Palermo has spent a lifetime observing criminal violence as a psychiatrist for Milwaukee County. He is well known for his plainspoken, unpretentious testimony in the trial of serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. The author takes the position that there is an absence in the United States of a coherent culture, of its material obsession, the destructiveness of welfare, the disintegration of the family unit and how all these forces have come together to perpetuate and increase violence in our daily lives. Although the book deals with crimes against the physical person, other forms of criminal behavior that have recently appeared on the social scene are explored, such as Internet crimes, white-collar crimes, and identity theft. It is a must read for all those professionals in the psychiatric, criminological, and forensic fields.

Book Research for the Psychotherapist

Download or read book Research for the Psychotherapist written by Jay L. Lebow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While empirical, scientific research has much to offer to the practice-oriented therapist in training, it is often difficult to effectively engage the trainee, beginning practitioner, or graduate student in the subject of research. This fully revised and expanded edition of Research for the Psychotherapist is an engaging, accessible guide that bridges the gap between gathering, analyzing, presenting, and discussing research and incorporating that research into practice. The authors present concise chapters that distill research findings and clearly apply them to practical issues, while also helping readers progress as consumers of relevant research.

Book Troubled Relationships

Download or read book Troubled Relationships written by Elam W. Nunnally and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1988-08 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From economic hardship to emotional stress, from family violence to divorce, the family unit today may face nearly unbearable pressures -- pressures that threaten its survival as a social institution. How pervasive is stress within the family unit? Can disturbed relationships be re-adjusted and, if so, what treatment modes are available? Answering these and other significant questions associated with family dysfunction, the contributors to this volume explore such issues as the need for developing appropriate intervention theory for children of divorce; the Brief Family Therapy model for troubled parent/child relationships; problems facing families when children are placed in foster or residential care facilities; and strategic rapid intervention for wife battering. Legal policies are also discussed, emphasizing the need for social scientists to assist courts in making custody determinations, and the need for developing treatment plans for juvenile delinquents, batterers and child abusers.

Book The Comorbidity of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Diagnoses Among Delinquent Male Youth  Its Correlates and the Interventions that are Typically Employed

Download or read book The Comorbidity of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Diagnoses Among Delinquent Male Youth Its Correlates and the Interventions that are Typically Employed written by Richard J. Hooker and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lack of information on the prevalence of youth with mental health and/or substance abuse disorders in the juvenile justice system. It is essential that treatment professionals understand the problems of delinquent male youth and their families so that effective assessment and treatment planning can occur. This study examined the charts of delinquent male youth (N=255), aged 10-17 (mean age =14.9 years), who had completed a 14-day secure residential diagnostic assessment program during the period of January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2000. The youth were ordered by the juvenile court to complete the assessment prior to the disposition of their case. The sample consisted of 60% African American and 35% Caucasian youth. The prevalence of dual diagnosis was 52%. Among the dually diagnosed youth, 91% were diagnosed with a behavioral disorder while 4% were diagnosed with a "traditional" mental health disorder and 5% were diagnosed with both a behavioral and a "traditional" mental health disorder. Extensive problems of delinquency, substance abuse, mental illness, negative peer association, and cognitive impairment were found among the youth. Problems of criminality, substance abuse, mental illness, child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, and inadequate parenting were found among the families of these youth. The recommendations to the juvenile court were discussed. A significant relationship (Cramer's Phi=.33, p=.001) between witnessing domestic violence and substantiated physical abuse was found. Also, a significant relationship (Cramer's Phi=.47, p=.001) was found between maternal substance abuse and substantiated neglect. Implications for clinical practice and suggestions for future research were discussed.
