Etiology And Treatment Of Panic Disorder, Linda M. Kennicott
Etiology And Treatment Of Panic Disorder, Linda M. Kennicott
Graduate Research Papers
Over the past decade, there has been much research related to panic disorder. This is probably due to the high prevalence and incapacitating nature of the disorder. In the United States, anxiety-related disorders are the most prevalent clinical disorder (Michelson & Marchione, 1991), and panic disorder is the most frequently diagnosed of the severe anxiety disorders (Leaman, 1992). Individuals who suffer from panic disorder seek professional help more often than individuals who suffer from any other mental disorder (Margraf & Ehlers, 1991). According to Leaman (1992), 3-4% of Americans either currently have, or will have, panic disorder in their lifetimes. …

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Mbti): Applications In Student Services, Susan Converse Mixdorf
Graduate Research Papers
Every year, somewhere between 1.5 million and 2 million people in the United States sit to take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), supporting the notion that the MBTI is the hottest personality inventory 1 on the market (Zemke, 1992). Developed through clinical experience and research, the MBTI makes it possible to test individuals and groups to show personality type and preferences. Basically, the MBTI has two uses; first, it is an instrument that helps individuals to understand the developmental path all individuals take; second, the MBTI can be used to study and explain relationships among group members. Using the MBTI …
A Review Of The Literature On Stepfamilies: An Investigation Of Past And Current Trends, Christy L. Johnson
A Review Of The Literature On Stepfamilies: An Investigation Of Past And Current Trends, Christy L. Johnson
Graduate Research Papers
Stepfamilies are an increasing reality in our society. As recently as 1976, it was estimated that as few as 10% of all U.S. children under 18 lived in stepparent households (Nelson & Nelson, 1982). In 1986 approximately 50% of first marriages were ending in divorce, and 65% of divorced women and 70% of divorced men were remarrying (Glick & Lin, 1986). It is clear that stepfamilies have changed from being an alternative family form to becoming a predominant family form (Duberman, 1975; Glick, 1991; Visher & Visher, 1988,1990) and is the fastest growing form of family in the United States …
Community Services In Higher Education, Heidi Jean Patterson
Community Services In Higher Education, Heidi Jean Patterson
Graduate Research Papers
When most people hear the words community service, they tend to think of "privileged" individuals going out and serving the "less privileged". Many people in society today think that only wealthy people need to perform community service as a way to deepen their sense of social responsibility (Bojar, 1989). Society needs to realize that community service participation can be of great value to everyone, not just the wealthy. The words "public" and "duty" are often considered synonyms for the terms "community" and "service", respectively. In other words, one could say that it is the "public's duty" to help one another. …
The Psychoanalytic Id And The Transactional Analysis "Child", Robert D. Peterson
The Psychoanalytic Id And The Transactional Analysis "Child", Robert D. Peterson
Graduate Research Papers
The way in which a person perceives other human beings is a key element in determining his or her interactions with others (Alexander & Neimeyer, 1989); for educators, who frequently have major impacts on students and on the community at large, this perception of others is particularly important. This conceptualization of human nature is sometimes referred to as the individual's "personality construct", with the term "construct" implying "a complex image or idea formed from a number of simpler images or ideas" (Stein, 196 7, p. 314). An individual's image of others consists of, but is not limited to, his or …

The Impact Of Father-Daughter Relationships On Daughters' Romantic Lives, Esther C. Ulrich-French
The Impact Of Father-Daughter Relationships On Daughters' Romantic Lives, Esther C. Ulrich-French
Graduate Research Papers
Research in the last few decades has concluded that 90% of Americans get married and that 80% of those who subsequently divorce also remarry (Norton & Moorman, 1987). As a result, the issue of intimate relationships has been significant in the area of counseling. Women often present in counseling with relationship issues and are more likely than males to contact a counselor about martial [sic] or relationship problems. Women appear to be more likely to pursue the relationship in an effort to resolve an area of conflict and thus, it seems, are more often willing to attempt therapy (Wamboldt & …

In Preparation Of A New Role: A Reflection In Essay Form, Catherine D. Leipold
Graduate Research Papers
The role of educational administrators, be they employed as building principals, assistant principals, or as administrative assistants at the district level, has changed over the last few decades and will continue to change as our society's interest in and criticism of the educational process continues. The staff of the Department of Educational Administration and Counseling at the University of Northern Iowa is very much aware of the changes affecting our nation's schools and as such is preparing current graduates to meet the challenges they will be assuming as new principals.
On Becoming An Effective Middle Level Administrator: A Reflective Essay, Christi A. Lines
On Becoming An Effective Middle Level Administrator: A Reflective Essay, Christi A. Lines
Graduate Research Papers
Middle school students are a breed apart. They have special characteristics and needs and require specialized care. Educators who choose to teach these unique creatures should be trained to professionally address their academic, physical, social, and emotional needs. Likewise, principals who aspire to lead middle school students and professionals through the labyrinth of the educational system should be especially attuned to the elements of effective leadership to meet those diverse needs.
Adolescent Sexuality: The Role Of Parents, School, And Counselor, Steven A. Montross
Adolescent Sexuality: The Role Of Parents, School, And Counselor, Steven A. Montross
Graduate Research Papers
The rate of teenage sexual involvement is at an all-time high. It is estimated that 11.6 million teenagers between the ages 13-19 have had sexual intercourse, resulting in over 800,000 teenage pregnancies each year. With statistics such as these, problems arise: sexually active teens are at risk for contracting diseases such as AIDS, teenage mothers may often drop out of school, and many teen mothers live in poverty (Christopher & Roosa, 1990). In addition, children learn facts about sex at younger ages than did their parents and grandparents. On the positive side, there is the increasing maternal effort to impart …

Throughout this paper I discuss the areas pertaining to administration, and I state my thoughts on the …
Child Sexual Abuse: A Guide For Mandatory Reporters On Detecting And Reporting, Jill K. (Vaux) Bryant
Child Sexual Abuse: A Guide For Mandatory Reporters On Detecting And Reporting, Jill K. (Vaux) Bryant
Graduate Research Papers
School counselors, being mandatory reporters, are required to report the sexual abuse of children. Training is done according to state standards, and additional education may occur during the school counselor's graduate study. It is estimated that 90 % of all sexual abuse allegations are true (MacFarlane & Waterman 1986), but the American Humane Society (1986) reported that many states have substantiation rates lower than 50 % . Mandatory reporters are not supposed to be investigators. However, child protection workers will not or cannot investigate an allegation that does not meet their criteria. This creates a dilemma for both parties. It …

A Personal Vision Of The Principalship And The Ideal School: A Reflective Essay, Corwin R. Dunlap
Graduate Research Papers
In reflecting on the more memorable events of my youth, a significant element began to emerge. Many of the most important of these events were centered around the activities associated with my elementary and high school education: past friendships, school organizations and activities, and those favorite teachers, who left a lasting impression on the person I was to become. These teachers influenced the direction my life was to take; becoming an educator. Regardless of the subject taught, the teachers I remembered most were the ones who made learning fun and exciting, and made me feel that I was someone special. …
A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Sheryl L. Ellsworth
A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Sheryl L. Ellsworth
Graduate Research Papers
As a future administrator, I realize that I must be both a reflective practitioner and visionary. As a teacher, I was trained to be reflective; as a future administrator, I am being trained to be visionary and reflective. 1 As a teacher, especially at the beginning of my career, I reflected only on if the lessons I had prepared were effective or if there were problems on which I could work. As time went by, I began to reflect upon my students themselves--how they learned, how they thought, and how I could help them to become better students. After some …
Sexual Abuse Experienced In Childhood: A Predisposing Factor For The Development Of Eating Disorders In Females, Lois O. Fink
Sexual Abuse Experienced In Childhood: A Predisposing Factor For The Development Of Eating Disorders In Females, Lois O. Fink
Graduate Research Papers
"An unacknowledged trauma is like a wound that never heals over and may start to bleed again at any time" (Miller, 1984, as cited in Kearney-Cooke & Striegel-Moore, 1994, p. 305). Previous research has suggested a strong relationship between child sexual abuse and the development of a wide range o.f maladaptive responses among females (Browne & Finkelhor, 1986; Sloan & Leichner, 1986). These maladaptive responses may include the development of behavioral, physical, and psychological problems. One of the more recent manifestations of psychosomatic symptoms being investigated is the possible linkage between child sexual abuse (CSA) and eating disorders, specifically anorexia …
An Overview Of Black-White Interracial Marriage: Implications For Counselors, Lisa A. Fossadal
An Overview Of Black-White Interracial Marriage: Implications For Counselors, Lisa A. Fossadal
Graduate Research Papers
Nothing would infuriate many White parents more than the thought of their offspring marrying a Black person. No other mixture touches off such widespread condemnation as Black-White mixing. Historically, Black-White interracial marriage has been the most controversial of all types of intermarriage in the United states (McLemore, 1991). In order to maintain their cohesiveness and identity, many groups have explicit rules about who may marry whom, groups such as Africans, Asians, some Europeans and even some Americans. These constraints on intermarriage may be based on religious, political, cultural, social class, and/or racial-ethnic differences (Clayton, 1979). Although changes have occurred over …
Developing A Mentoring Program On A College Campus, Jennifer Lynn Dilocker
Developing A Mentoring Program On A College Campus, Jennifer Lynn Dilocker
Graduate Research Papers
The past and continued use of mentoring confirms its reputation, which is overwhelmingly positive in the literature (Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America [BBBSA], 1995; Bolman & Deal, 1993; Bonilla, Pickron, & Tatum, 1994; Collins, 1983; Furano, Roaf, Styles, & Branch, 1993; Head, Reiman, Thies-Sprinthall, 1992; Heller & Sindelar, 1991; Jackson & Simpson, 1994; Johnsrud, 1994; Kram, 1988a, 1988b, 1988c, 1988d; Millis, 1994; Morrow & Styles, 1995; Otto, 1994; Terrell & Hassell, 1994; Weinberger, 1992; Wolfe, 1992; Wunsch, 1994b). Mentoring is firmly rooted in history, but the solid foundation of mentoring may lead to misconceptions about its power.

The Role Of School Psychologists In The Prevention Of Child Sexual Abuse, Erica Leigh Henningsen
The Role Of School Psychologists In The Prevention Of Child Sexual Abuse, Erica Leigh Henningsen
Graduate Research Papers
The role of school psychologists is currently in a state of transition from one of simple "test and place" to one which includes a diverse array of responsibilities and expectations. Johnston and Bernstein (1987) state that school psychologists' expanding roles can also include issues related to curriculum, instruction, law, and personnel in addition to their traditional assessment and student advocate responsibilities. This expanding role of school psychologists within the educational system also includes responding to a variety of social problems which affect children. One social problem which affects many children and can have a negative impact on a child's physical, …
Lessons From Intelligence: Integrating Psychometric, Triarchic, And Mi Theories, Larry F. Herzog
Lessons From Intelligence: Integrating Psychometric, Triarchic, And Mi Theories, Larry F. Herzog
Graduate Research Papers
As intelligence theory evolves, educators integrate new approaches with educational practice. In this review, the history of intelligence theory is probed. Implications of traditional psychometric theory, the triarchic theory of Robert Sternberg, and the multiple intelligences theory of Howard Gardner are cited. Utilizing the published literature and personal observation, the author concludes that future educators will have the benefit of a broader viewpoint of the construct of intelligence than is presently the case.

Short-Term Emergency Loans: An Effective Form Of Financial Assistance?, John Jay Holland
Graduate Research Papers
With the rising costs of college tuition and related fees, students attending two- and four-year institutions of higher education are becoming increasingly aware of the importance and availability of financial aid. Without some sort of financial assistance such as college work-study, grants, or student loans, many students could not afford to attend a college or university or would be forced to drop out of school once enrolled. Martin (1988) discovered that more than half of undergraduate students rely on student loans to finance their studies. Unfortunately, loans are the major type of financial assistance currently used by students (Mortenson, 1989).

Adolescent Suicide In A School Setting: A Proactive Approach, Marilyn Hupfeld
Graduate Research Papers
The rate of adolescent suicide has increased dramatically over the past few decades (Allen, 1987; Crumley, 1979; Garland & Zigler, 1993; Garrison, Lewinsohn, Marsteller, Langhinrichsen & Lann, 1991; Hendin, 1987; Henry, Stephenson, Hanson & Hargett, 1993) .

Don't Talk, Don't Feel, Don't Trust, Nancy L. Jacoby
Graduate Research Papers
In the United States there are between seven and fifteen million children under the age of eighteen living with at least one parent addicted to alcohol (Berlin, Davis, & Orenstein, 1988; Knight, Vail-Smith, & Barnes, 1992; Roosa, Gensheimer, Short, Ayers, & Shell, 1989; Webb, 1993; Weddle & Wishon, 1986). Alcoholism is a family disease, and every member of the family is affected. The family organizes itself and revolves around the alcoholic, while the needs of other family members are secondary. Plans, rules and feelings change constantly in an attempt to anticipate and placate the alcoholic's drinking behavior (Campbell, 1988; O'Rourke, …

The Community Support Program's Role In Building Social Support For The Schizophrenic Client, Patricia A. Jebe
Graduate Research Papers
Stroul {1986) wrote that in the 1950s and 1960s two events occurred that have changed the way people with chronic mental illness live today. The first event was the development of new medications which could control many of the symptoms of the illnesses, thus leading the way to the release of the majority of inpatients from hospitals and institutions into the communities. The second major event, as mentioned by Stroul, was the concurrent development of the community health movement. From this movement a number of programs have grown, including the Community Support Program (CSP), which was initiated by the National …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Joy Michelle Kelly
Graduate Research Papers
My educational experiences from childhood are truly what motivated me to become a teacher, and I revisit some of those same experiences as I reflect upon my intentions to become a high school principal. I truly believe that I became a teacher because I knew I could have an impact on young people, both academically and personally, and ultimately I could make a difference in their lives. My personal experiences with the educational system have not always been positive, but, nonetheless, they have been motivating.
