Cognitive Behavioral Intervention For Children With Disruptive Behavior Disorders In Residential Treatment, Kathryn Joanne Morin Silva
Cognitive Behavioral Intervention For Children With Disruptive Behavior Disorders In Residential Treatment, Kathryn Joanne Morin Silva
Theses Digitization Project
Increasing numbers of children being referred for mental health services are exhibiting problematic behaviors that can be subsumed under the category of Disruptive Behavior Disorders. This study with its foundations in a post-positivist approach was designed to explore treatment effectiveness of cognitive behavioral intervention applied to adolescents at Oak Grove Institute, a residential treatment facility. This study hypothesized that Wexler's PRISM Model, with its integration of affect, would be instrumental in modifying disruptive behavior as measured at Oak Grove Institute. Although the small sample size precluded statistically significant findings, there were interesting results with respect to two dependant variables. Findings …
Military Retirement Satisfaction And Adjustment: The Effects Of Planning, Having Transferable Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, And Having Identified With, And Been Committed To, The Navy On A Sample Of Retired Naval Officers, Peter Edward Spiegel
Theses Digitization Project
We examined military retirement. We sought to determine if preretirement planning, having knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that are readily transferable, and being committed to, and/or identifying with, the Navy would affect the retirement satisfaction and adjustment of a retired naval officers sample. Results indicated that both planning and transferability influenced retirement satisfaction and adjustment, while organizational commitment and identification did not. Implications of our findings, as well as a brief overview of some general retirement issues are included.

Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Interface Constraints In The Solution Of Hyperbolic Second-Order Differential Equations, Paul Jerome Silva
Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Interface Constraints In The Solution Of Hyperbolic Second-Order Differential Equations, Paul Jerome Silva
Theses Digitization Project
Solutions to differential equations describing the behavior of physical quantities (e.g., displacement, temperature, electric field strength) often only have finite range of validity over a subdomain. Interest beyond the subdomain often arises. As a result, the problem of making the solution compatible across the connecting subdomain interfaces must be dealt with. Four different compatibility methods are examined here for hyperbolic (time varying) second-order differential equations. These methods are used to match two different solutions, one in each subdomain along the connecting interface. The entire domain that is examined here is a unit square in the Cartesian plane. The four compatibility …

Left-Handed Teaching Techniques For The Right Handed, Martha Jane Longo-Bartel
Left-Handed Teaching Techniques For The Right Handed, Martha Jane Longo-Bartel
Theses Digitization Project
Left-handedness is an invisible handicap in today's classrooms. The education systsem in the United States makes special considerations and accommodations for special needs of students, yet left-handed individuals do not receive much consideration in a mainstream classroom. Experts say that up to twenty percent of children in Canada and the United States are left-handed. This project discusses how these left-handed children have to work in a right-handed world. The focus of this study was to provide right-handed teachers with teaching techniques, positive suggestions, and common sense approaches to accomodate the left-handed pupil.
Determining How Stressors Effect The Onset Of Substance Abuse In Runaways, Christopher Parrish Rosselli
Determining How Stressors Effect The Onset Of Substance Abuse In Runaways, Christopher Parrish Rosselli
Theses Digitization Project
In America, it is estimated that between 500,000 and two million children run away each year. A majority of these runaways become involved with illegal substance abuse. This study questions whether children experience substance abuse prior to their running away or if their substance abuse is an attempt to cope with the new stressors created by street life. Data collection will include having 50 volunteers complete a questionnaire, with consideration of race and gender. The findings suggested that no relationship exist between runaways engaging in drug use and the amount of stress experienced at home or during the runaway.

Dissociative Identity Disorder: Integration Versus Non-Integration, Kris Jane Strande
Dissociative Identity Disorder: Integration Versus Non-Integration, Kris Jane Strande
Theses Digitization Project
For the mental health professional, the client with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) can be exciting, exhausting and frustrating. Formal education offers little help in treatment and diagnosis of this disorder. This paper will explore the most utilized treatment goals available to the professional and the client. Although most "experts" in the field of Dissociative Disorders subscribe to the treatment goal of integration, this study challenges that idea. As the results of the study indicate, integration was not the most utilized goal of treatment among the participants of this study.
