Download or read book Normality Rev written by Daniel Offer and published by . This book was released on 1974-12-19 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immediately after the publication of its first edition, Normality was hailed as a remarkable breakthrough in helping to identify the behavioral and social characteristics of mental health. But precisely what constitutes "normal" behavior is a continuing dialogue in mental health today, and the steady increase of empirical studies of mentally healthy populations has prompted the authors to undertake this revised edition in which they have paid particular attention to research on normality and the implications that this research has, and will have, for a deeper theoretical understanding of normal personality development and the psychodynamic understanding of the coping process. After classifying theoretical and clinical concepts as presently used in psychiatry, psychoanalysis, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and biology, the authors synthesize four major perspectives of normality; critically review contemporary research in the evaluation of criteria of normality; and offer guidelines for future research. They predict that the next decade will see more theory building based on the empiricism of the late 60s and early 70s.
Download or read book Normality and Pathology in Childhood written by Anna Freud and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's book deals with a most neglected aspect of psychoanalysis - normality. Its chief concern is with the ordinary problems of upbringing which face all parents and the usual phenomena encountered by every clinician. Yet, though primarily practical and clinical in its approach, it also makes a major theoretical contribution to psychology. The author begins with an account of the development of analytic child psychology, its techniques and its sources in child and adult analysis and direct observation of the child. The author then describes the course of normal development, how it can be hindered or eased, what are the unavoidable stresses and strains and how variations of normality occur. The author outlines a scheme for assessing normality and for gauging and classifying pathological phenomena in terms of the obstruction of normal progress rather than the severity of symptoms. Stress is laid on the problem of predicting the outcome of infantile factors for adult pathology in the face of the child's continual development. Finally, child analysis is considered both as a therapeutic method and as a means for the advance of knowledge.

The second part covers the construction of multivariate control charts, the calculation of Multivariate Capability Indices.
Download or read book A Time Series Approach to Option Pricing written by Christophe Chorro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current world financial scene indicates at an intertwined and interdependent relationship between financial market activity and economic health. This book explains how the economic messages delivered by the dynamic evolution of financial asset returns are strongly related to option prices. The Black Scholes framework is introduced and by underlining its shortcomings, an alternative approach is presented that has emerged over the past ten years of academic research, an approach that is much more grounded on a realistic statistical analysis of data rather than on ad hoc tractable continuous time option pricing models. The reader then learns what it takes to understand and implement these option pricing models based on time series analysis in a self-contained way. The discussion covers modeling choices available to the quantitative analyst, as well as the tools to decide upon a particular model based on the historical datasets of financial returns. The reader is then guided into numerical deduction of option prices from these models and illustrations with real examples are used to reflect the accuracy of the approach using datasets of options on equity indices.

Download or read book Adolescent Psychiatry V 26 written by Lois T. Flaherty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 26 of The Annals begins with essays that address the challenge of maintaining human connections in a biological century; Philip Katz focuses on the human encounter between therapist and patient whereas Vivian Rakoff emphasizes the continuing identity of the healer throughout history. Papers on adolescent development, which challenge readers to look beyond preconceived ideas, include Robert Galatzer-Levy's examination of adolescence as a social construction expressed in contradictory cultural narratives and Jack Drescher's exploration of the developmental narratives of gay men in order to illuminate the seeming invisibility of gay adolescents. A section dedicated to "Trauma, Violence, and Suicide" explores interventions with special groups of high-risk adolescents, including violent offendors, suicide attempters, and adolescent refugees. A special section on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and conduct disorders includes a debate on whether or not conduct disorder is actually a valid diagnosis. The final section of Volume 26 addresses social issues of continuing relevance to adolescent psychiatry: the juvenile death penalty and gays in the military. Reprinted here are the ASAP's position statements on these two issues along with its amici curiae brief in support of the petitioner in the landmark Supreme Court case of Thompson v. Oklahoma. Volume 26 of The Annals tracks the continuing evolution of adolescent psychiatry as it strives to keep pace with therapeutic and social responsibilities which, in the 21st century, have become increasingly intertwined. We have here a typically thoughtful compendium that, in drawing attention to the pressing issues before those who work with adolescents, highlights bith the field's achievements to date and the work that lies before it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new social and economic era calls for integration of ecology and economy in a system of cause and effect. The central element in this shift is sustainable development. Fundamental to the achievement of sustainable development is the requirement for environmentally responsible waste management and restoration of the environment. Solutions to the complex problems confronted by waste management and environmental restoration industry are currently handled by the geoenvironmental engineering profession that needs a good background in soil biology, chemistry, mechanics, mineralogy, and physics. In recognition of this need, this book summarizes relevant aspects of various soil physics, mineralogy, and chemistry as well as the chemistry of pollutants. This treatment will provide sufficient background to students and practicing engineers to enable them to think about how to approach waste management and environmental restoration problems.
