Child Sexual Abuse Intervention, Jill Christine Hay Jan 1984

Child Sexual Abuse Intervention, Jill Christine Hay

Graduate Research Papers

School counselors are involved to a meaningful degree in the lives and development of children. Consequently, counselors need to be knowledgeable of the problem areas 1 that affect or obstruct the child's learning and development. One such problem area has received wide media coverage, but until recently little was known about the effects of sexual abuse on children and how to help those children.


Current Career Counseling Practices In Community Colleges, Kristin D. Stewart Jan 1984

Current Career Counseling Practices In Community Colleges, Kristin D. Stewart

Graduate Research Papers

When the community college came into being in the early 1900 1 s, its goals were trifold: (a) to offer courses traditionally taught by the four year colleges during the first two years, (b) to train workers for jobs in a flourishing industrial nation, and (c) to enhance social equality. The community college's close proximity and open door admission policy gave almost everyone a chance to attend college.


The Scarlet H: Herpesvirus Hominus -- Its Clinical Manifestations And Personal Implications, Ann K. Larson Jan 1984

The Scarlet H: Herpesvirus Hominus -- Its Clinical Manifestations And Personal Implications, Ann K. Larson

Graduate Research Papers

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) tend to affect sufferers psychologically as well as physically. Most of these diseases, however, can be cured and forgotten. Genital herpes, the leading Sexually Transmitted Disease in the United States, seems to cause more psychological damage than do any of the other STDs. (Chase, 1983) Herpetics must cope with the knowledge that their Sexually Transmitted Disease in incurable. The fact that there is a paucity of information on counseling the herpetic contributes to the need for the study. Any professional dealing with an individual who has recently learned he or she has genital herpes needs to …


An Evaluation Of Sin For Clients Who May Have A Sin Problem, Alice Jean Mosch Jan 1984

An Evaluation Of Sin For Clients Who May Have A Sin Problem, Alice Jean Mosch

Graduate Research Papers

The major purpose of the paper is to look at 11 sin 11 and its relationship to counseling. Could some counselees benefit more if their behavior was seen as sinful rather than caused by some psychological illness? According to Daubner (1982), this topic is important because a counselor's style and methodology is influenced by his views on the nature of man, whether he is aware of those views. Every theory of psychology is based on certain presuppositions (Adams, 1972). The good counselor then, should know how his assumptions and values affect his counseling.


Implications Of Existential-Humanistic Principles For Counseling Adolescents In Schools, Peter John Larson Jan 1984

Implications Of Existential-Humanistic Principles For Counseling Adolescents In Schools, Peter John Larson

Graduate Research Papers

This study focuses upon the emergence of existential humanistic psychology, particularly as developed through the work of Carl Rogers. The study attempts to display how existential humanistic psychology, as expressed through the work of Rogers, may offer valuable insights to counselors working with adolescents in school settings. By assuming that adolescents are at the forefront of society in terms of planning lives in a fast-changing and often despairing climate, the conclusion is offered that the principles of existential-humanistic psychology might be particularly relevant to counselors who are working with the adolescent in schools.


An Historical Look At Honors Student Characteristics In Higher Education, Daniel E. Key Jan 1984

An Historical Look At Honors Student Characteristics In Higher Education, Daniel E. Key

Graduate Research Papers

Having the opportunity to listen in on several Honors Committee Meetings at the University of Northern Iowa proved to be very thought provoking. The UNI Honors Committee had been discussing plans for a new honors program design when a question was asked, one that proved to be very important and needs serious consideration. "What type of student are we looking for?" What seemed to be a simple question with a simple answer gave rise to further questions and an issue which is the heart of any honors program. What characteristics will potential honors students possess? How will they be selected? …


Teacher Participation In Administrative Decision-Making And Its Effects On Teacher Morale, Adrian Paul Talbot Jan 1984

Teacher Participation In Administrative Decision-Making And Its Effects On Teacher Morale, Adrian Paul Talbot

Graduate Research Papers

As demands made upon administrators, teachers, and schools increase, the decisions which principals make often have to be justified to people who are outside the immediate educational circle. Many of these decisions are extremely complex and place the principal, who tries to shoulder the burden alone, under considerable pressure. It would seem that the days of the successful autocrat are numbered. In an attempt to deal with this problem, writers (Guba, 1960; Dallas, 1978) have proposed ideas which would involve teachers to a far greater extent in the decisionmaking process, supporting the old adage that 11many heads are better than …


The Role Of The Counselor In Working With Disabled Students In Post-Secondary Educational Institutions, James Cameron Thornhill Jan 1984

The Role Of The Counselor In Working With Disabled Students In Post-Secondary Educational Institutions, James Cameron Thornhill

Graduate Research Papers

Despite improvement in treatment of disabled students in the post-secondary education programs, there remain many problem areas (Katz, 1981). Disabled students still encounter such obstacles as: (a) faculty misconceptions of disabled students' capabilities, {b) intrapersonal problems of the disabled students concerning their internal adjustment to the disability, (c) interpersonal problems with other students or faculty, and (d) environmental barriers such as building inaccessibility.

Women In Educational Administration: Barriers/Strategies, Gail Ladria Dozier

Graduate Research Papers

Women historically have played a significant role in American education, but their role almost exclusively has been in teaching positions. Women have been excluded from authority positions within the educational system as throughout the society. Although women comprise over two-thirds of the teacher population, men dominate the positions of school administration.

A Content Analysis Of The Portrayal Of Suicide In Adolescent Literature, Roxanne Fox Jan 1984

A Content Analysis Of The Portrayal Of Suicide In Adolescent Literature, Roxanne Fox

Graduate Research Papers

The major purposes of this research were to analyze the portrayal of adolescent suicidal characters in books which adolescents are currently reading and to attempt to determine if this portrayal was realistic in the entire group of books. A panel of experts was used to obtain a sample of ten books. The portrayal of ten characters from the ten books were analyzed using an inventory of nine elements which were derived from a review of the literature currently discussing characteristics of adolescent suicide. The results of this analysis suggested that, for the most part, a realistic and generally balanced portrayal …

Tribute To Walter Stromer: Iowa Communication Association 1984 Outstanding Speech Award Recipient, Betty Zeidel

Iowa Journal of Communication

An outstanding speech teacher at a small liberal arts college must have a desire to continue to learn about everything, an interest and knowledge in all areas of speech, the patience and faith to teach public speaking to over 150 students per year, a willingness to share ideas and to challenge others in the field, the dedication and ability to promote the field of speech on campus and beyond, and the skill to set an example of excellence in speaking.


Student Service Needs Of The Nontraditional Woman Student In The Academic Setting, Jolene Phyllis Peck Jan 1984

Student Service Needs Of The Nontraditional Woman Student In The Academic Setting, Jolene Phyllis Peck

Graduate Research Papers

The past decade has seen a dramatic change in the demographic profile of college students, in part the result of an influx of students, particularly older women, entering higher education for the first time or re-entering after an interruption in their education. According to the Carnegie Council (1980), within the three-year period of 1975 to 1978 alone, the number of women between the ages of 24 and 34 enrolled in institutions of higher education increased by 187%, with women now accounting for more than two-thirds of all adult students (U.S. Department of Labor, 1979). With this increasing enrollment of older …

An Investigation Of The Impact Of The Controlled Budget On Small Iowa School Districts, Joyce N. Losure Jan 1984

An Investigation Of The Impact Of The Controlled Budget On Small Iowa School Districts, Joyce N. Losure

Graduate Research Papers

The controlled budget growth of school districts in Iowa has been determined by the State School Finance Formula since 1971. The basic idea was to promote "equal educational opportunity." But this descriptive research paper confirmed that, since the controlled budget is tied to the number of pupils enrolled, the actual percentage growth of the controlled budget in the majority of small, decreasing enrollment schools has not equaled the state's allowable percentage of controlled budget growth. This paper determined, through an open-ended survey of the superintendents of schools in Iowa with 325 or fewer students, the fiscal adjustments made for survival …

In the study, students in a SCI room will receive instruction in six specific social skills. These skills involve appropriate behaviors in getting along with others. The students will be introduced to individual social skills, practice with the skills, and review each skill, Each skill will be assessed by the homeroom teacher as to gains made in developing appropriate social skills.


Alcoholism: The Relapse Dynamic, Jim R. Hoeft Jan 1984

Alcoholism: The Relapse Dynamic, Jim R. Hoeft

Graduate Research Papers

At the time of the discovery and colonization of America, alcohol was firmly entrenched in the society of the Old World. The drunkard was common, particularly in the urban areas. He was treated poorly and often imprisoned for his alcoholic abuses. For the most part, however, he was ignored. (Ewing and Rouse, 1978) Beer and wine was simply transported across the Atlantic to the colonies as a way of life with no special significance. Drunkenness was not tolerated, but even the Puritans drank. (Royce, 1981) The drunkard was a social misfit and a source of pity. (Ewing and Rouse)


Communication Apprehension: A Critical Assessment Of Treatment Modes And Their Effectiveness, Susan Zickmund-Burns Jan 1984

Communication Apprehension: A Critical Assessment Of Treatment Modes And Their Effectiveness, Susan Zickmund-Burns

Iowa Journal of Communication

Communication apprehension (CA) is defined by James Mccroskey as, "a broad based, personality-type characteristic that is characterized by withdrawal from, and avoidance of communication, as well as feelings of discomfort and tension while communicating." Phillips describes several scenes of students in basic speaking courses being moved to the point of nausea at the prospect of giving a speech. In one case a suicide is even linked to the student's speech assignment the next day. Persons with communication apprehension often express lower self-esteem, lack trust in others, and have extreme difficulty communicating personal problems. This fear of communicating often continues throughout …

The Status Of Student Development Programs Designed For Nontraditional Women Students In Higher Education, Laura S. Kirk-Clark Jan 1984

The Status Of Student Development Programs Designed For Nontraditional Women Students In Higher Education, Laura S. Kirk-Clark

Graduate Research Papers

The mission of higher education is directed to every prospective and enrolled student. In college catalogs throughout the United States, statements of purpose or aims of institutions are recorded. Although these statements may differ in words, phrases, or structure, the content is similar. Upon completion of the college experience, the individual student will be better prepared, both intellectually and emotionally, to contribute to society (Whiteley and Sprandel, 1970).

Bereavement And Sexual Functioning, Janette Serra-Stanford Jan 1984

Bereavement And Sexual Functioning, Janette Serra-Stanford

Graduate Research Papers

"With the death of a husband, you lose your present; with the death of a parent the past; but with the death of a child you lose your future" (Linzer, 1977, p. 11). There is no more devastating experience for parents than the death of their child. The impact of a child's death is profound because the parent-child relationship is generally regarded as the most reciprocally intense interpersonal relationship (Parker, 1979). A parent's grief is often inconsolable and never ending.

Working closely l with the parish staff of the Christian Community of St. Patrick, the associate pastor and four (later reduced to three because one couple moved away) married couples began to meet regularly over a period of fifteen months. Together they constructed a marriage preparation program which included six months of preparation before marriage and twelve months …


Chemical Dependency And Rational-Emotive Therapy, David Charles Towle Jan 1984

Chemical Dependency And Rational-Emotive Therapy, David Charles Towle

Graduate Research Papers

Chemical dependency is a major health problem in the United States ranking third among major health problems and surpassed only by cancer and heart disease. The social costs associated with chemical dependency are estimated to be over $40 billion annually. These social costs are reflected by such factors as lost job productivity, the medical costs of treating alcohol and drug related illnesses and injuries, the property damages and 25,000 lives lost per year to intoxicated drivers, and the cost of administering justice to those who are arrested and convicted of chemical abuse related offenses (Zimberg, 1982).
