Group Work As Interventive Modality With The Older Depressed Client: A Meta-Analytic Review, Kevin M. Gorey, Arthur G. Cryns

This review analyzes a total of 19 empirical studies dealing with the effectiveness of group work intervention with depressed older clients (65 years and older). Multiple analyses of all outcome data reported allowed for the following summative, empirically derived inferences: (1) overall, group work was found to account for 42% positive change in client affective states; however, most of this improvement (87%) appears to be attributable to nonspecific interventive variables, i.e., factors outside the control and intent of the group worker; (2) group work is optimally effective for clients who live alone and are moderately to severely depressed; (3) client …
"A Strange Liking": Our Admiration For Criminals, Martha Grace Duncan
"A Strange Liking": Our Admiration For Criminals, Martha Grace Duncan
Faculty Articles
This article explores noncriminals' admiration for the lawbreaker. Drawing on literature, films, history, and psychoanalysis, the article seeks to delineate and explain this paradox. Each part of the article adopts a different approach to the subject of admiration for criminals. Part II, "Reluctant Admiration," sets the stage by presenting evidence that such admiration, and conflict over it, are pervasive. Parts III and IV present two quite different strategies that noncriminals employ to cope with their inner conflict over criminality. Thus, Part III, "Rationalized Admiration," depicts noncriminals who express undisguised enjoyment in, and reverence for, criminals. These noncriminals justify their attraction …
An Existential-Phenomenological Investigation Of The Psychotherapeutic Interpretive Process Enabling Immediate Insight, Paul Murray Ph.D.
An Existential-Phenomenological Investigation Of The Psychotherapeutic Interpretive Process Enabling Immediate Insight, Paul Murray Ph.D.
Dr. Paul Murray
An Existential-Phenomenological Investigation Of The Psychotherapeutic Interpretive Intervention Process Enabling Immediate Insight: Theoretical and technical preoccupations with the value of interpretation in the psychotherapeutic process have established a formal understanding in the literature that has given only oblique reference to the actual experience of the therapist in practice. "Interpretation" has for the most part been left dangling above and beyond the immediate grasp of the novice therapist as an objectified ideal of great importance. Practical application of this intervention has suffered due to a mystification of its lived nature in the traditional literature. The current qualitative research study is a …

Dimensions Of Functional Social Support And Psychological Symptoms, Irvin Sam Schonfeld

In the summer following graduation a sample of 125 female college graduates (mean age = 28) completed Cohen & Wills' ISEL (1985) which includes scales measuring four social support functions: belonging (social companionship), appraisal (availability of confidants), tangible (instrumental), and self-esteem support. In the summer and fall subject status on two outcome scales was ascertained: the Psychophysiologic Symptom Scale and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Reliability of the difference scores suggested that the ISEL scales do not measure entirely different constructs and the ISEL Self-esteem Scale is operationally redundant with the Rosenberg Self-esteem scale and the CES-D. …

Mmpi Profiles Of Sexual Perpetrators, Steven G. Vaupel
Mmpi Profiles Of Sexual Perpetrators, Steven G. Vaupel
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to compare MMPI scores of 60 men referred for assessment and/or counseling at community mental health facilities. No MMPI protocols were excluded due to elevated validity configurations (70T or above). Forty of the referrals were referred for suspected child sexual abuse. Twenty of the referrals admitted (Admitter) to sexually abusing a child at the time of referral and twenty did not admit (Nonadmitter) to sexually abusing a child when referred. A control group of the remaining twenty subjects were referred for various offenses, none of which included sexual offenses against children. Significant differences were …

Seventy-two male college students classified as Type A or Type B on the basis of scores on the Jenkins Activity Survey - Form T (JAS-T) were given the Cook and Medley Hostility Scale and divided into four groups on the basis of test scores: A/High Hostile; A/Low Hostile; B/High Hostile; and, B/Low Hostile. Subjects were then randomly assigned to either Group I: Controllable Event or Group II: Uncontrollable Event. Pre- and post-experimental one-minute time estimates and pre- and post-experimental one-minute key tapping sessions were recorded for all subjects. During the experimental condition, subjects in Group I: Controllable Event estimated a …
