The Community Support Program's Role In Building Social Support For The Schizophrenic Client, Patricia A. Jebe

Graduate Research Papers

Stroul {1986) wrote that in the 1950s and 1960s two events occurred that have changed the way people with chronic mental illness live today. The first event was the development of new medications which could control many of the symptoms of the illnesses, thus leading the way to the release of the majority of inpatients from hospitals and institutions into the communities. The second major event, as mentioned by Stroul, was the concurrent development of the community health movement. From this movement a number of programs have grown, including the Community Support Program (CSP), which was initiated by the National …

The Prevalence Of Females Diagnosed As Conduct Disordered When Dsm-Iii And When Dsm-Iii-R Are Employed: A Comparison, Jodee Jane Bohr

Graduate Research Papers

Historically, significant gender differences have been reported in the prevalence rates of conduct disordered youth (Zoccolillo, 1993). This differential has led to considerable confusion concerning the nature of the disorder and the individuals directly affected. Further, this differential has made it difficult for practitioners, in schools and in other settings, to comprehend the nature of conduct disorders within a rapidly changing society. Zoccolillo reports that male:female ratios have ranged anywhere from 3:1 to 9.3:8. Reasons for this variation are unclear, but may be associated with such factors as the various criteria employed, rapid change of gender roles in society, age, …

Multicultural Counseling: What Counselors Need To Be Aware Of When Counseling African-American Clients, Ethel M. Love

Graduate Research Papers

African-Americans are the largest ethnic minority group in the United States (Ruiz, 1990). The United States Bureau of Census reported 30.8 million African-Americans lived in this country in 1992 (Paniagua, 1994). The United States Bureau of Census projected that 37 million African-Americans will be residing in this country by the year 2000 (Atkinson, Morton, & Sue, 1993). With this growing population of African-Americans comes the likelihood of counselors and therapists becoming more involved in counseling this population. 1 Mental health professionals can become better prepared to counsel African-Americans by becoming aware of such factors as the historical and cultural influence …

The Impact Of Father-Daughter Relationships On Daughters' Romantic Lives, Esther C. Ulrich-French

Graduate Research Papers

Research in the last few decades has concluded that 90% of Americans get married and that 80% of those who subsequently divorce also remarry (Norton & Moorman, 1987). As a result, the issue of intimate relationships has been significant in the area of counseling. Women often present in counseling with relationship issues and are more likely than males to contact a counselor about martial [sic] or relationship problems. Women appear to be more likely to pursue the relationship in an effort to resolve an area of conflict and thus, it seems, are more often willing to attempt therapy (Wamboldt & …

Toward A Youth Development Profession, Karen Pittman, Elaine Johnson

National Youth Leadership Symposium Monographs

Earlier in this Symposium I talked about what I thought were some of the issues facing the profession and there was a very relevant discussion this morning about the attributes of the profession. Perhaps in this room there is a rather nonrepresentative sample of people who, if I say, "Are you a youth development professional?" will say, "yes." When you tell people what you do, how many people use that term or something close to it when they describe what they do? Two. How many use "youth worker?" Four. Any other generic term that says what you do? Recreation Director, …

Student Violence In The Schools, Juan J. Barthelemy

Graduate Research Papers

Acts of student violence in the schools are increasing (Chance, 1990; Crosby, 1993; Rich, 1992; Urben, 1986), especially in the larger cities in the United States (Hellman & Beaton, 1986). These acts of violence include violence toward other students as well as toward the school personnel and property. In this paper I will discuss selected aspects of violence in the schools. More specifically, I discuss the prevalence of violence in the schools, school based interventions and implications for the practice of school psychologists.
