This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past quarter-century has witnessed a dramatic upsurge of violent crime in the United States and abroad. In this country, the rise in violent criminal activity has been consistently documented in such published accounts as the Uniform Crime Reports and the Statistical Handbook on Violence in America, published by the FBI and the Vio lence Research Group, respectively. Further, social scientists-particularly those working in the fields of sociology and psychology-have provided a convergence of findings attesting to the magnitude of one of today's most significant social problems: domestic violence (e. g. , spouse, child, and elder abuse). Such efforts have served as the impetus for heightened clinical and investigative activity in the area of violent be havior. Indeed, a wide range of mental health experts (such as psychologists, psychi atrists, social workers, counselors, and rehabilitation specialists) have endeavored to focus on strategies and issues in research and treatment for violent individuals and their victims. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive and timely examination of current psychological approaches with violent criminal offenders. Despite the fact that we continue to have much to learn about perpetrators of violent acts, in recent an increasingly large body of empirical data have been adduced about this years issue. However, these data generally have appeared in disparate journals and books. That being the case, it is our belief that such a handbook now is warranted.

Download or read book Psychological Measurement and Prediction Part I Background for Psychological Measurement written by Paul Horst and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A report is presented on psychological measurement, serving as an introduction to a more ambitious program for synthesizing and integrating the theory and methodology of psychological measurement and scaling. It has been recognized for some years that psychological measurement or psychometrics is concerned primarily with the entity mode of a two mode data matrix, while psychological scaling has been concerned with the attribute mode. Obviously, the two are inextricably interrelated, as the more sophisticated developments in factor analysis have made abundantly explicit. In spite of this interdependence an opaque, or at best a translucent, curtain continues to hang between psychometric and scaling activities. It is hoped that this series of reports may be followed by full scale progrms to integrate the two fields of investigation, and that the recent ingenious and major developments of Professor Ledyard Tucker in multimode factor analysis may lead to a further integration of psychometric and scaling theory with learning theory and developmental psychology. Obviously, these latter involve the occasion mode of a three mode data matrix.

Download or read book Applying Decision Research to Improve Clinical Outcomes Psychological Assessment and Clinical Prediction written by David Faust and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health professionals often must make judgments or decisions involving vital matters. Is an individual likely to act violently? Has a child been sexually abused? Is a police officer fit to carry a gun? An explosion of research in clinical and cognitive psychology provides practical means for enhancing the accuracy of clinical decision making and prediction and thereby improving outcomes and the quality of care. Unfortunately, this research has not been broadly disseminated in the mental health field. The book is designed to familiarize readers with essential findings from decision science and its practical, immediate applications in the mental health field.
