The Effect Of Glucose On The Food Intake Of Goldthioglucose Injected Mice, Janet Lahti

Dissertations and Theses

Jean Mayer has postulated the presence of glucoreceptors located primarily in the ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei of the brain which are activated by glucose in the measure that they utilize it. According to Mayer, hunger occurs when glucose is not available for metabolic purposes and satiation supervenes when glucose is made available. Control of this mechanism rests with the glucoreceptors. These receptors are believed to be destroyed when an injection of the compound goldthioglucose is given to mice. These animals subsequently become obese and are found to have gold deposits and lesions in the ventromedial area and also in other parts …

Artificial Insemination In The Human, John A. Board

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The idea that impregnation might occur without coitus has aroused interest since ancient times. In the second century A.D., there was recorded a hypothetical discussion concerning a woman who had been inseminated by semen previously deposited in the bath water in which she bathed. In 1322, an Arab used artificial insemination with horses. A wad of wool was introduced into the vagina of a mare and left overnight. It was then held over the nostrils of a stallion, and with this stimulus the stallion ejaculated on a cloth held in readiness. The ejaculated material was then introduced into the vagina …

"Teddy" (The Task Force For Emotionally Disturbed And Potentially Delinquent Youth), Susan G. Malbon

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The Council on Correction of the National Council of Social Workers invited other Virginia organizations dealing with children to attend a meeting in December, 1969, to form a Task Force for Emotionally Disturbed and Potentially Delinquent Youth. Someone came up with the inspired acronym of TEDDY to avoid the long title while reminding people that this task force spoke for a group of children who need help.

The Chronically Ill Child: A Challenge To Family Adaptation, Ake Mattsson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, by studying the emotional stress and the coping behavior of children with chronic physical illness, we can learn considerably about how these patients and their families learned to "play a poor hand well." In this regard it is noteworthy how often adolescent patients relate their good adjustment and positive outlook on life, despite their handicap, to their parents' early and consistent attempts to raise them with realistic and minimal restrictions. As one 16-year-old boy put it, as he was lying in bed receiving plasma infusion during a hemophilic bleeding episode, "Don't worry about the kids, Doc, but help …

The Surgical Approach To Problems Of Sexual Identification, Howard W. Jones Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

While transsexualism is a disorder which seems to affect both anatomical sexes, the gynecologist plays his principal role in the therapy of the male transsexual, i.e., the anatomical male who considers the difficulty to be that of a female psyche trapped within a male body. It is only with these male patients with a female gender orientation that this discussion will deal.

Psychological Abnormalities Of Sexual Identification, James L. Mathis

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The normal process of development of sexual identification slides almost unnoticed through well-defined, but overlapping stages to a definite end point. That end point is an individual who senses that his core gender, male or female, is consistent with the body morphology, the external genitalia, the chromosomal configuration, and the hormonal balance. Also, there must be the development of personality traits, masculine or feminine, consistent with the sense of core gender. Finally, although somewhat outside the scope of our present discussion, there must be the establishment of a role or life style in adulthood in accordance with the first two …

The Behavioral Sciences And Juvenile Justice, Kermit V. Rooke

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I would like particularly to stress the role of the behavioral scientist in the effective operation of the Juvenile Court. Perhaps you are not entirely familiar with the modern Juvenile Court operation. Perhaps you regard it as a simple one-man operation in which the judge has only to look into his law books and there find the answers to all the problems which come his way. This, I assure you, is not the picture. Every day, every hour, the judge is confronted by problems which defy solution. The Court over which I preside has a physical plant which covers eleven …

Human Interaction In Teaching And Learning: A University Approach To Improvement, Douglas F. Powers, Howard L. Sparks

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Public education, although beset with criticism from its inception, is in the midst of weathering its most severe storm. One need only note the newspaper headlines for a week to see the myriad of demands being placed upon the schools. On one hand, there is increased demand for productivity--what Talcott Parsons, in his book, The Social System, would call instrumental education (education for usefulness)--and on the other, there is the insistence upon strengthening humanism in teaching and learning--again drawing on Talcott Parsons--called expressive education (education for self-fulfillment) (1). It seems clear from the volumes being published that expressive education is …

Testing Of A Design For Client Evaluation Of A Conciliation Service, James A. Dudley, James C. Euler, Peter Njoroge, Richard Streissguth

Dissertations and Theses

This study is an attempt to develop, design, and implement procedures for better data collection in the future and for an evaluation of the services provided in the past.

Conciliation Courts have developed across the country on the notion that case work services can, at best, save a marriage from divorce and, at least, can do no harm. Evaluation of the effectiveness of conciliation services is limited and contradictory.

This practicum is an attempt to develop a research design which can measure the effectiveness of conciliation service. We consider the first priority to develop a work­able design which will insure …

A Comparative Study Of The Emotional Adjustment Of Dysphasia, Shirley J. Watson

All Master's Theses

To study emotional problems of dysphasia and the resultant effect on rate and extent of language recovery, two subjects (one male and one female) were interviewed. Interviews and data were also obtained from therapists and hospital records. The results showed that emotionality and some personality factors adversely affected language recovery. This would suggest the importance of alleviating stress immediately following the lesion, during the therapy period, and throughout the home situation.

The Relationship Between Functional Articulation Disorders And Self-Monitoring Auditory Discrimination, Geraldine Hahn Allison

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between articulation disorders and self-monitoring auditory discrimination. In developing this study, 160 children, 80 males and 80 females, from kindergarten through fourth grades, were selected as subjects. They were divided into normal and defective speaking groups based on the results of a speech screening test. An Articulation and Self-Monitoring Test was administered to these children. The results showed their total number of articulation and self-monitoring errors. These error scores were statistically analyzed with other pertinent characteristics of the subjects relative to the study. The tools of analyses were: (1) an …

A Case Study Of The Relationship Between Role-Taking Skills And Intellectual Development, Linda Suzanne Green

All Master's Theses

A series of thirteen role-taking and cognitive development tasks, taken from research done on Piaget's developmental theories, were presented to ascertain the relationship between refined role-taking skills and the level of intellectual development demonstrated by a child in Piaget's pre-operational phase (two to seven years).

The results indicated that a child in this age range is not able to remove himself from his egocentric position and utilize the concepts of decentering and reversibility in constructing a meaningful message. This would indicate a lack of role-taking skill refinement.

It was concluded that the use of this type of task series would …

The Social History Questionnaire As Related To Length Of Stay In Psychotherapy, David P. Jachim

Masters Theses

A serious problem encountered in clinical practice concerns the large proportion of clients who begin therapy but for various reasons terminate treatment after only a few interviews and without the consent of the therapist. Representative studies by Kurland (1956), Haddock and Mensch (1957), and Rosenthal and Frank (1958) have emphasized the severity of this problem by indicating that most mental health clinics face the possibility of losing half of their therapy clients prematurely.

This problem necessitates some objective means for identifying potential terminators and remainers prior to their entering therapy. Such a technique would permit a more efficient utilization of …

Experimental Modification Of Attitudes Toward Birth Control, Peggy C. Hunter

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

It is apparent in both lay and professional literature that we are living in an age of social crises. Clearly the shortage of resources and the problems of pollution and poverty would be greatly ameliorated if our birth rate were controlled. Despite this, a survey of psychological literature reveals a paucity of articles on birth control. Psychologists largely have their heads in the sand with regard to research to understand factors associated with childbearing. Meanwhile, the birth rate soars on and it is increasingly obvious that something must be done.
