Download or read book Understanding Research in Clinical and Counseling Psychology written by Jay C. Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-02-26 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Research in Clinical and Counseling Psychology is a unique text because it is designed and written for the graduate students aspiring to careers in practice rather than in psychological science who are the vast majority in clinical and counseling programs. To motivate readers to see the value of knowledge produced by research, the book opens with an actual case report that shows how research-generated strategies incorporated into treatment allowed a woman who formerly would have been considered so hopelessly incapacitated by obsessive-compulsive disorder as to require lifetime institutionalization if not neurosurgery to return to normal family and work life. The first set of chapters introduces fundamental concepts of measurement, sampling, and validity. The next set systematically presents the kinds of investigations most relevant to budding practitioners--group comparisons, correlations, single-subject designs, program evaluations, and meta-analyses. Each of these chapters concludes with a detailed example of a study in which students can see how the techniques described are actually employed. The third set addresses enduring concerns--how to define and maintain ethical standards, how to do effective literature reviews and assess the quality of existing data, and how to collect and analyze data. It also addresses concerns that have emerged recently--how to distinguish and judge effective and efficacious treatments and how to contribute to research efforts as a private practitioner. The issues involved in the often confusing effectiveness versus efficacy debate are illuminated with a clinically relevant case example. Descriptions of alternatives to conventional significance testing, such as "clinical significance" and "reliable change analyses" help students consider new ways in which they can impose rigor on their own research and practice activities. Two final chapters examine the challenges of studying two special groups: children and older adults. Throughout, the authors, all capable researchers who are also experienced practitioners, demonstrate the ways in which research is an essential foundation for effective and ethical practice. Students and instructors alike will welcome this reader-friendly book.

The new edition has been extensively revised to take account of recent drug developments and advances in psychotherapeutic interventions. Incorporating a wealth of new information, these eminent researchers and clinicians thoroughly review all available outcome data and clinical trials and provide detailed specification of methods and procedures to ensure effective treatment for each major DSM-IV disorder.

Download or read book Learning Disability Nursing Practice written by Mark Jukes and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text encapsulates not only the origins of nursing in the learning disability field but also contemporary perspectives and areas for specialist nursing practice. The book is divided into four sections: origins, perspectives, practice, and further perspectives. Section one (origins) describes Great Barr Colony and explores the conceptions of practice of actual attendants and nurses who worked there. It gives readers an in-depth focus on aspects of work and practice not accounted for in the literature to date. Section two (perspectives) explores social policy perspectives from the past eras of the workhouse, the colony and the hospital, through to the present age of citizenship. Research in learning disability nursing practice is identifi ed through scoping exercises to identify its current status. The section questions the research and practice developments that have come of age and that constitute a challenge within an evidence-based health and social care world. Section three (practice) identifi es a wide range of specialist areas of nursing practice, including community learning disability nursing, epilepsy, forensics, health facilitation, autism, mental health, challenging behaviour, children s services and working with people with profound and multiple learning disabilities. Section four (further perspectives) addresses areas of contemporary and future concern, namely, educational curricula for nurses and the importance of inter-professional education and practice development.

Download or read book Advances in Artificial and Human Intelligence in the Modern Era written by Rajest, S. Suman and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of psychological and brain sciences, there is a growing urgency to refine individual performance using personalized interventions that account for unique cognitive and biological attributes. Yet, the quest for such tailored approaches has proven challenging, as conventional methods often fall short. The limited integration of domain expertise and human judgment curtails the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in effectively optimizing human performance, particularly in areas like customized training, health monitoring, and cognitive enhancement. Bridging the gap between AI capabilities and the specific requirements of individuals becomes crucial in meeting this rising demand. Advances in Artificial and Human Intelligence in the Modern Era present a transformative solution to tackle the prevailing challenges at the intersection of AI and human performance enhancement. This book delves deeply into the latest empirical research, literature reviews, and methodological advancements to introduce precision AI techniques for personalized interventions. By examining how the amalgamation of domain expertise and human insights can enhance AI performance, the book establishes a comprehensive framework for modeling individual distinctions and devising effective, tailored AI approaches. Tailored for academic scholars and researchers in psychological and brain sciences, computer science, and related fields, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of pioneering advancements in the convergence of artificial and human intelligence. Its diverse chapters encompass a wide array of topics, including the identification of mental health concerns, integration of human intelligence into AI tools, enhancement of reliability, and exploration of data standards. As it fuses expertise from these two disciplines, the book paves the way for a new era of personalized interventions with the potential to revolutionize human cognitive enhancement, training, and overall well-being.
