Black Alcoholism: Etiology, Counseling And Treatment, Charissa L. Gainous

Graduate Research Papers

Alcoholism or alcohol abuse is a multi-dimensional social phenomenon that cannot be easily understood, nor can it be defined in a simplistic or straight forward manner (Roebuck & Kessler, 1972). Any attempt to comprehensively understand the nature of alcoholism among blacks must acknowledge the fact that it has multiple causes, many of which are external to the individual (Watts & Wright, 1983). Any discussion of black alcoholism must acknowledge that certain socioeconomic and environmental factors are key determinants of alcohol problems among blacks (Kane, 1981), from etiology (Helmer, 1975), to prevention (Crisp, 1980), to policy (Yabura, 1975), to treatment and …

Licensure Of Professional Mental Health Counselors In Iowa, Jeffrey Don Hasselmann

Graduate Research Papers

The issue of licensure has divided the profession of mental health counseling (Arbuckle, 1977; Cottingham, 1978; Sweeney and Witmer, 1977). Some professional mental health counselors adhere to the philosophy that licensure advances the profession (Carroll, Griggs & Halligan, 1977; Sweeney & Witmer, 1977). Opponents to licensure purport that licensing in itself will not advance the field nor will it necessarily ensure the delivery of quality psychological services (Davis, 1981; Gross, 1977, 1978; Tiedeman, 1979).

Successful Stepfamily Development: Issues And Implications For Counselors, Cheryl A. Rammelsberg

Graduate Research Papers

The traditional meaning of "family" as the biological unit of father, mother and child(ren) can no longer be assumed in today's society. There are many other types of structures functioning in our society fulfilling all of the traditional family roles and responsibilities, and an increasingly prevalent one of these is the "stepfamily". One definition of stepfamily in the literature was the complex description offered by Sager, Walker, Brown and Rodstein (1981) of "one that is created by the marriage (or living together in one domicile) of two partners, one or both of whom have been married previously and was divorced …

Parental Involvement In Residential Treatment Facilities For Children, Michelle Suzanne Herman

Graduate Research Papers

As the function of residential child care shifted from orphanages to treatment facilities, the attitudes toward parental involvement also changed. Parents were no longer viewed as interruptive, and the parent-child emotional bond was recognized as superseding physical separation (Simmons, Gumpert & Rothman, 1973). The advent of systems theory and family therapy brought new conceptualizations which added 1 the dynamics of interpersonal relationships to the intrapsychic behavioral modes, challenging child care professionals to integrate these theories into treatment programs.

The Study Of The Effects Of Stress On Children Upon Entry Into A Stepfamily, Leslie Corkery

Graduate Research Papers

As of 1985, over 15 million children in the United States were members of a stepfamily. Each year one million more children are expected to become a part of a stepfamily. With one of two marriages ending in divorce, it is likely the statistics will rise (Martin & Martin, 1985). According to Winch (1971), "A stepfamily is a domestic family in which one or both parents have children from a previous union living most of the time in the same household" (p. 10). A stepfamily may have the appearance of a traditional family but they do not function in the …

Combined Community Resources Directory For Turkey Valley School And Its Community, Janet Carspecken

Graduate Research Papers

The object of this research project was to compile a combined community resources directory that would meet the functional, educational, and recreational information needs of both the students and teachers of a school district, as well as the members of the communities that make up that school district. Telephone interviews were conducted and questionnaires were sent to gather the data on the information sources. Approximately 800 individuals, private businesses and government offices and agencies were contacted. The information gathered from these sources was then organized and printed in a directory format. The completed directory contained listings for thirteen individuals, two …

Nursing Home Admission: Effects, Predictors Of Well-Being And Implications For Counseling, Carla Pletsch Janssen

Graduate Research Papers

Admission to a nursing home is a stressful life event demanding changes in all aspects of living. Becoming a nursing home resident was perceived by subjects in Gordon's study (1985) to be the third most stressful life event preceded only by death of a spouse and divorce and followed by pregnancy and retirement. Researchers have disputed the direct relationship of relocation trauma to mortality (Borup 1983), but agree that certain factors increase the older person's vulnerability to the stresses of relocation.

An Emerging Female Management Style, Mary Jo Souhrada

Graduate Research Papers

In 1840 Elizabeth Caty Stanton attended the World's Anti-Slavery Convention in London, England. Although women were members of the society their delegations were not seated on the convention floor. This experience led her along with Lucretia Mott eight years later to organize the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York to remedy the oppression she saw everywhere and to improve the legal status of women.

Women And Self-Esteem, Ruth Carolyn Tierney

Graduate Research Papers

Self-esteem, the condition wherein one feels both competent to live and worthy of living, enables people to provide for their own needs as well as those of others. People with high self-esteem relate to others in a healthy manner (Branden, 1981; Laskey, 1982). Self-esteem predominantly depends on the extent to which women can attain their ideal self-concept (Krausz, 1986). Sanford and Donovan (1984) stated that women's self-concept is the set of beliefs and images they all have and hold to be true of themselves. By contrast, their level of self-esteem is the measure of how much they like and approve …

Group Process With Mildly Mentally Retarded Adults, Cynthia Sue Bombella

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of the paper was to examine the basic stages of group process as it pertains to the mentally retarded adult. As a group develops, there are noticeable differences in individual behavior and the structure and functioning of a group. Theorists have found it useful to perceive the group as moving through a number of stages during its life (Northen, 1969; Yolam, 1985). The identification of stages provides diagnostic clues for the counselor. That makes it possible for the counselor to understand where a group is in its development and what the counselor can expect in the future (Northen, …

Elder Abuse, Mary Frances Osborne

Graduate Research Papers

A distinct characteristic of this century has been the increase in population of individuals 60 years of age and older (Galbraith, 1986). Recent medical advances have enabled more people to live longer, healthier lives (Galbraith, 1986). Most affected by these advances have been individuals 75 years and older. The United States Bureau of Census (1973) reported that between 1960 and 1970 the number of persons in the 75 years and older category increased at nearly three times the rate of those in the 65-75 age group. Between 1970 and 1980, the 75 years and over population increased an additional 2.4 …

The Effects Of Clinical Experience At A Rehabilitation Unit On Student Nurses' Attitudes Toward The Disabled, Marianne Brooks Reynolds

Graduate Research Papers

We know that daily, children are being born with lifelong limitations and adults are experiencing catastrophic illness or trauma. These health-care problems touch the rich and the poor, the young and the old. No one is immune to these medical dilemmas. Though they may not be aware of it at the time, the infant born with a birth defect and the child or adult who is afflicted later in life will be limited not so much by the actual disability as by society I s attitude toward that disability. It is society that will define the disability as a handicap, …
