Family Psychoeducation In Clinical High Risk And First- Episode Psychosis, William R. Mcfarlane, Sarah Lynch, Ryan P. Melton
Family Psychoeducation In Clinical High Risk And First- Episode Psychosis, William R. Mcfarlane, Sarah Lynch, Ryan P. Melton
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Seventy percent of those who will have an episode of psychosis will have done so by age 25. Data from clinical trials of intervention during the clinical high risk period of psychosis have determined that the mean age is in mid-adolescence, 16-18 years of age. For those reasons, early intervention inherently involves adolescents, and by extension their parents and other family members and supports. Regarding the type of intervention, it is relevant that the current empirically-derived standard of treatment for schizophrenia, as concluded by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research survey of the treatment outcome literature, includes family …
A Counselor’S Role In Diagnosing The Proposed Dsm-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome: A Pathway To Early Intervention Or Iatrogenic Consequences?, Vanessa Jung Tirman, Ryan P. Melton
A Counselor’S Role In Diagnosing The Proposed Dsm-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome: A Pathway To Early Intervention Or Iatrogenic Consequences?, Vanessa Jung Tirman, Ryan P. Melton
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Psychosis in general, and schizophrenia specifically, are among the most debilitating and difficult to treat disorders in mental health (Correll, Hauser, Auther, & Cornblatt, 2010). Identifying a patient with at-risk symptoms before the first episode of schizophrenia can be invaluable to the patient, clinician, and the community because the patient is treated early in the course of the disease where treatment is highly effective. After years of research it has been confirmed that at-risk symptoms for schizophrenia generally precede the first episode of psychosis, which results in the diagnosis of schizophrenia (Correll et al., 2010). At present however, the assessment …
Multicultural Assessment: Research, Training, And Practice, Richard H. Dana
Multicultural Assessment: Research, Training, And Practice, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
The credibility of standard assessment has been questioned by intra-professional debate, diminished by training deficits, redefined as semi-skilled technology by managed care, and compromised for multicultural populations by research bias. Scientific psychology has been responsible for perpetuation of bias and the limited generality of published ethnic minority research. A constructive response to these issues includes more coherent scientific preparation for assessment practice, particularly with ethnic minority populations. Adequate preparation entails careful reformulation of assumptions, redefinition of variables, informed selection of research methodologies, understanding deficiencies in normative data, and using culturally responsible interpretive strategies with standard test data in addition to …

Asian American Mental Health Clients: Effects Of Ethnic Match And Age On Global Assessment And Visitation, Richard H. Dana, Glenn Gamst, Aghop Der-Karabetian, Terry Kramer
Asian American Mental Health Clients: Effects Of Ethnic Match And Age On Global Assessment And Visitation, Richard H. Dana, Glenn Gamst, Aghop Der-Karabetian, Terry Kramer
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Effects of client-counselor ethnic match (i.e., match, no match) and client age group (child, adult) on counselor-evaluated Global Assessment of Function (GAF) and visitation were investigated. The sample consisted of 253 Asian-American outpatient clients (24.9% children 75.1% adults) of a community mental health center. Unadjusted results indicated that ethnically matched clients had more positive GAF evaluations and more clinic visits than nonmatched clients. When adjusted for eight covariates, results showed ethnically matched clients continued to show higher levels of visitation. Analysis of separate diagnostic categories showed that ethnically matched mood-disorder clients had higher levels of visitation. Conversely, nonethnically matched anxiety …
Culturally Competent California Mental Health Services: Model And Example, Richard H. Dana, Myriam Aragon, Terry Kramer
Culturally Competent California Mental Health Services: Model And Example, Richard H. Dana, Myriam Aragon, Terry Kramer
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Mental health services in the United States were designed for European American consumers, but with burgeoning multicultural populations these services have proven inadequate and underutilized. This paper examines research on cultural competencies of agencies and clinicians relevant to a mental health practice model, the Multicultural Assessment-Intervention Process model (MAIP). This model was modified for systematic application in a California agency, the Tri-City Mental Health Center, to provide a flexible blueprint for major alterations in agency practice and programs that affect the entire system of care. MAIP begins with intake process including client-clinician/ethnicity-Ianguage|match, client acculturation/racial identity status, and clinician cultural competence, …
Silk Purse Or Sow's Ear? An Mmpi Commonground, Richard H. Dana
Silk Purse Or Sow's Ear? An Mmpi Commonground, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Velasquez et al allege that "rounding up the usual suspects" in my article on culturally competent MMPI assessment of Hispanics provides information that is inaccurate, raises unanswered questions, and can discourage assessors reluctant to take "extra precautions required with Hispanic clients". They contribute an overview of history and current research that leads to their own recommendations. Using the idiom of "usual" and "unusual" suspects, further investigation of all suspects appears necessary. Juxtaposition of two sets of assessment recommendations-theirs and mine-suggests that an ostensible battleground can become a commonground to better inform assessors of cultural competence issues. From the Author.
A Commentary On Assessment Training In Boulder And Vail Model Programs: In Praise Of Differences!, Richard H. Dana
A Commentary On Assessment Training In Boulder And Vail Model Programs: In Praise Of Differences!, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
This commentary on assessment training in scientist-practitioner and practitioner-scholar programs examined potential differences between these training models on assessment instruments included in the curriculum, assessment instructors, modes of interpretation, anticipated clients, and service delivery styles. Over time it appears that the potential for difference in assessment training inherent in Boulder and Vail model values has been minimized. If these models for training professional psychologists are to be effective in preparing students for assessment tasks with additional populations of consumers in new service delivery systems, attention to these potential differences in assessment training offers promise for more responsible and competent practice …

Human Services Training In Tribal Colleges, Richard H. Dana, Rodger Hornby
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Tribal colleges are providing interdisciplinary education and professional training for human services occupations at the undergraduate level. These programs also promote cultural competence as a result of required courses in tribal languages, history, culture and law. The Sinte Gelska University program is described as an example of the role of tribal college education in emphasizing cultural identity using a culture-specific instructional style and teaching method. These programs in tribal colleges will augment the availability of competent service to native Americans.

Responsible Education For Professional Psychology: Cultivation Of Public Interest, Richard H. Dana
Responsible Education For Professional Psychology: Cultivation Of Public Interest, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
This paper affirms a belief that the psychology profession can still be invested with a moral quality, or public interest, expressed by responsible education. Transformation from egocentric to sociocentric practices can be fostered by values, curriculum, students, and faculty. Suggestions for program development stem from acknowledgement of desiderata for professional education in the public interest that include the humanity of students, a sense of community, power. sharing by students and faculty, integration of knowledge and practice, training for advocacy roles, and continuity of training.
Technical Report For Personality Assessment Of Rosebud Sioux: A Comparison Of Rorschach, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory And 16pf Reports, Richard H. Dana, Rodger Hornby, Tom Hoffmann
Technical Report For Personality Assessment Of Rosebud Sioux: A Comparison Of Rorschach, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory And 16pf Reports, Richard H. Dana, Rodger Hornby, Tom Hoffmann
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Three standard assessment instruments (Rorschach, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory and 16PF) were administered to 12 participating Rosebud Sioux Indians -- 6 males, 6 females. Reports were generated for each instrument. Consensual and unique concepts contained in all the reports were analyzed in order to describe the contents. Six judges, all residents of the reservation and either college employees or social agency personnel attempted to match the participants with their reports. The judges may not have known all of the participants intimately, but they were well acquainted with the facts of their libes. Two general questions were explored: (1) can people …
Intelligence Testing Of American Indian Children: Sidesteps In Quest Of Ethical Practice, Richard H. Dana
Intelligence Testing Of American Indian Children: Sidesteps In Quest Of Ethical Practice, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Previous literature reviews are updated. Recent findings impugn the WISC-R internal consistency and document item bias for American Indian children. A pattern of Spatial > Sequential > Conceptual > Acquired Knowledge holds across ages, tribes, and heterogeneous referral sources, except for acculturated children. Kaufman's three factors are replaced by Verbal and Performance factors for Papago and Navajo children. A culturally-learned basis for intellectual functioning among traditional children supports alternative assessment functions for traditional reservation lifestyle and for acculturation and entree into mainstream society. Performance measures, SOMPA, Piagetian and Luria-derived tasks may ultimately provide less biased intelligence estimates. Recent legislation outlines ethical practice although …

Validation Of Eisegesis Concepts In Assessment Reports Using The 16 Pf: A Training Method With Examples, Richard H. Dana, Brian Bolton, Vickie West
Validation Of Eisegesis Concepts In Assessment Reports Using The 16 Pf: A Training Method With Examples, Richard H. Dana, Brian Bolton, Vickie West
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
A training method for psychological report writing uses reliably abstracted concepts from reports prepared by students and experts for the same data sets. Consensual and unique concepts are compared for student and expert reports and evaluated by assessees. Unique concepts are further subdivided into skills (assessee accepted) and eisegesis (assessee rejected). Karson 16PF Reports from assessors were similarly broken down into consensual and unique concepts. Comparisons were made between 16 PF and Rorschach eisegesis that suggest student personality effects upon reports. A procedure for providing feedback to students is presented.

Extended Report For Self-Help For Male Wisc Examiners By Pretest Exposure To Children, Richard H. Dana, Richard D. Back
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
As an effort to compensate for a previously reported female examiner effect, four male examiners spent 15 minutes with each of 16 male and 16 female third grade children prior to WISC administrations. Four female examiners administered the WISC to equal numbers of male and female children. No female examiners effects were found. Under these conditions male and female examiners obtained similar Full Scale WISC IQ scores, although the male children had higher full scale scores. PIQ was significantly higher that VIQ and girls evidenced the greatest VIQ-PIQ difference. These results are congruent with literature that implicates both sex of …

The Helping Professions And The Brave New World, Richard H. Dana
The Helping Professions And The Brave New World, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
Each year psychologists publish an annual review of current research. It was not long ago that achievement, anxiety, and authoritarianism were the major areas chosen for investigation. Today the high interest areas are conformity, social desirability, acquiescence, powerlessness, and coping behavior. This rapid change in the focus of our attention has intimate roots in the larger culture.
Extended Report Of Construct Validation Of The Barron Ego Strength Scale, Richard H. Dana, Jean T. Teter
Extended Report Of Construct Validation Of The Barron Ego Strength Scale, Richard H. Dana, Jean T. Teter
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
One component of an MMPI Ego Strength Scale (Es) definition, personal adaptability, was investigated by behavioral, conscious, and fantasy measures of persistence. Male and female, high and low Es subjects, did not differ on these measures. Measures of persistence alone may be inadequate samples of the personal adaptability component of Es.
Extended Report Of The Impact Of Fantasy On A Treatment Program, Richard H. Dana
Extended Report Of The Impact Of Fantasy On A Treatment Program, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
It is axiomatic in milieu therapy that the man on top is responsible for success or failure of the program. However, little research attention has been given to the impact of a superintendent upon an institution. One reason may be that only rarely is an institution's stewardship uncomplicated by a past history. This case report is of the first-year operation of a correctional institution for adolescent delinquent girls. The superintendent literally created policy and program and trained staff in an attempt to satisfy goals of custody and rehabilitation. In this relatively unique enterprise the values, dynamics and motives of the …

Objective Tat Scores And Personality Characteristics: Hypothesis Formulation. Statistical Summary, Richard H. Dana
Objective Tat Scores And Personality Characteristics: Hypothesis Formulation. Statistical Summary, Richard H. Dana
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
This paper contains the statistical results of a "buckshot" congruent validation study of one objective TAT scoring variable, Perceptual Organization (PO). PO was developed from personality theory and from an explicit rationale for the construction of scoring systems for projective techniques. PO is scored from a five card, short-form, TAT set which yields scores comparable to a 20 card set. A series of concurrent validation studies culminated in a manual for application of the scoring system in which PO is one variable. PO is a reliable score (scorer reliability; test-retest) and valid for prediction of clinical diagnosis (current validity). That …
Intraindividual Verbal-Numerical Discrepancies: Dichotomy Or Continuum, Personality Characteristic Or Psychopathology?, Richard H. Dana, Arnold E. Dahlke
Intraindividual Verbal-Numerical Discrepancies: Dichotomy Or Continuum, Personality Characteristic Or Psychopathology?, Richard H. Dana, Arnold E. Dahlke
Regional Research Institute for Human Services
IntraindlviduaI differences in verbal and numerical abilities have been observed since the inception of appropriate measuring Instruments. Whether verbal and numerical ability occur in the form of a continuous distribution or as dichotomous categories has both theoretical and practical importance. That such variation has meaning in terms of predictable college academic success is recognized. Less apparent, but equally important, are relationships between Intraindividual verbal and numerical variation and personality characteristics and/or psychopathology. In college situations the American Council on Education Psychological Examinatipn (ACE), with Linguistic (l) and Quantitative (Q) components, and the School and College Ability Tests (SCAT), with Verbal …
