The Effects Of Staff Training, Incentive, And Information And Feedback On Incidence Of Vandalism In A Dormitory Setting, Donald G. Landeck

The Process Of Short-Term Psychotherapy With Mentally Deficient Adults, Joan Emily Carpenter

Dissertations and Theses

This paper explores the process of individual short-term ego-supportive psychotherapy with mentally deficient adults. The literature on clinical research, case studies, process research, short-term psychotherapy, and therapy with the mentally retarded is selectively reviewed. Four case studies are presented with clients at the Portland Habilitation Center, a sheltered workshop which trains mentally deficient adults in socialization, practical living, and job skills. Finally, the case studies are discussed in terms of the selected literature.


Evaluative Styles Of Clinicians In Private Practice, Daniel R. Brophy Jan 1980

Evaluative Styles Of Clinicians In Private Practice, Daniel R. Brophy

Dissertations and Theses

A belief shared by all members of the research team was that evaluation is a tool that can be used to improve the effectiveness of clinical practice. Prompted by this interest, a research project was designed to gather descriptive data about evaluation in the private sector. The research question reads:

To what extent and in what way are licensed clinical psychologists and clinical MSW's in the private sector involved in evaluating their practice?

a. Are these clinicians using formative and/or summative evaluation?

b. What techniques and/or mental processes do they use?


Multiple Impact Therapy: Evaluation And Design For Future Study, Jacqueline H. Abikoff Jan 1980

Multiple Impact Therapy: Evaluation And Design For Future Study, Jacqueline H. Abikoff

Dissertations and Theses

The theoretical underpinnings of Washington County Children's Services Division (CSD) Immediate Conflict-Resolution Family Treatment Program include the systems theory of family therapy with a focus on communication and roles.

Finally, while it draws upon several different approaches to family therapy, the Washington County program is most closely related to Multiple Impact Therapy (MIT). Thus, a review of relevant literature must address portions of the above enumerated theories that illuminate the thinking behind the Immediate Conflict-Resolution Family Treatment Program. …

Increasing Head Extension With The Use Of Automated Contingent Music, Susan Corman Dec 1979

Increasing Head Extension With The Use Of Automated Contingent Music, Susan Corman

Masters Theses

The experiment was an attempt to increase proper head posture using automated music as a reinforcer and to determine if this behavior would generalize to another setting.

Two cerebral palsy and mentally retarded subjects participated. Subject 1 was 24-year-old female, while Subject 2 was a 17-year-old male.

The two conditions included in this study were Baseline (no-music), and Treatment (music contingent on proper head posture). Generalization (no-music) was assessed throughout all experimental conditions. Both subjects wore the mercury-switch head apparatus during Baseline, Treatment and Generalization sessions.

During Baseline, the overall mean percent of proper head posture for Subject 1 and …

Operant Control Of Pathological Tongue Thrust, George A. Thompson Aug 1979

Operant Control Of Pathological Tongue Thrust, George A. Thompson

Masters Theses

Pathological tongue thrust (reverse swallowing) has been linked to malocclusion, articulation problems, difficulty in eating, and excessive drooling. Observable tongue thrust in a 10-year-old severely retarded male was modified during lunch using a contingent pushback procedure. Comparison of baseline and treatment data collected by the partial interval method showed a significant reduction in tongue thrust and food fallout and a substantial increase in observed chewing. Results indicated the possibility that an operant approach to treatment can be effective in the modification of this physiological response.
