Positivism-Plus: A Constructivist Approach To Teaching Psychopharmacology To Counselors, Cecile Brennan, Elliott Ingersoll Dec 2000

Positivism-Plus: A Constructivist Approach To Teaching Psychopharmacology To Counselors, Cecile Brennan, Elliott Ingersoll

Cecile Brennan

In this positivism-plus approach, the chemical and neurobiological bases of psychopharmacology constitute a pervasive, positivist construction of a reality that influences client behavior. However, is it argued that this biological version of reality must be integrated into the work of counseling, that is, it must be adapted to the environmental and intrapsychic contexts that clients and counselors co-construct. This chapter reviews the relationships among the medical model, constructivism, and counselor training, describes the general components of the psychopharmacology course, then discusses more specifically the relationship between the positivist and positivist-plus elements

Gender And Achievement In Music Education: The View From The Classroom, Ruth Wright Dec 2000

Gender And Achievement In Music Education: The View From The Classroom, Ruth Wright

Ruth Wright Dr

This article originates from a research project investigating the effects of gender on achievement in music education in one secondary school. The study showed a correlation between gender and achievement in music with some surprising insights into possible causes of male under-achievement in education at Key Stages 3 (11–14 years) and 4 (14–16 years) generally. It is argued that because of national testing and school performance tables, the debate on male under-achievement in this country may have become so focused on core subjects that a very important link in the argument is being overlooked – a link provided by music …

The Status Of The Uniform Guidelines On Employee Selection Procedures: Legal Developments And Future Prospects, Andrew Ewoh, James Guseh Dec 2000

The Status Of The Uniform Guidelines On Employee Selection Procedures: Legal Developments And Future Prospects, Andrew Ewoh, James Guseh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

This article examines the legal status of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures from the perspectives of judicial opinions and race-norming provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Specifically, the analysis provides a discussion of important U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions with special emphasis on their relevance for disparate impact theory. Because the 1991 Civil Rights Act has altered the selection procedures somewhat, the article offers implications of these changes for personnel managers or specialists and recommends modification of the Uniform Guidelines.

Music, Womankind And Patriarchy: Women Break Music Industry Ideological Myths, Ann Savage Dec 2000

Music, Womankind And Patriarchy: Women Break Music Industry Ideological Myths, Ann Savage

Ann M. Savage

This paper challenges mainstream music industry myths suggesting that women, because of their gender, are not discriminating music listeners. As part of a larger interpretive audience study, fifteen women were interviewed about their relationship with female rock artists who embody a feminist and/or political sensibility. The findings explored in this paper suggest that women are clearly capable of cultivating abilities to appreciate music and cite complex sound, substantive lyrics and professional autonomy as some of their favored distinctions. Moreover, women were quite cognizant of the music industry's monolithic condescending view of not only themselves as fans, but of female musical …

Couples Therapy: A Cornerstone Approach, Linda Berg-Cross Dec 2000

Couples Therapy: A Cornerstone Approach, Linda Berg-Cross

Linda Berg-Cross

Harness the power of an integrative approach to couples counseling!

Why do marriages fail? The behaviorist or cognitive therapist explains that unhappy couples have self-defeating ways of thinking about their spouses and themselves. The sociologically oriented counselor points to the impact of social trends and dramatic changes in child-rearing and social expectations. A therapist oriented toward psychodynamics or systems theory sees the destructive patterns of childhood replayed in the marriage, with spouses taking on rigid roles. The pastoral or humanist counselor believes that partners who cannot experience self-fulfillment through commitment and trust will feel less love and grow more and …

Sweet Harmonies From Little Wooden Boxes: Mandolin Playing In Minneapolis And St. Paul, Amy M. Shaw Dec 2000

Sweet Harmonies From Little Wooden Boxes: Mandolin Playing In Minneapolis And St. Paul, Amy M. Shaw

Amy M. Shaw

The mandolin, initially popularized by Italian immigrants, became hugely popular in the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis between 1890 and 1920. The instrument attracted musicians of both sexes from various ethnic and socioeconomic groups, many of whom joined mandolin orchestras. Because it was affordable and relatively easy to play, many amateur musicians were drawn to the mandolin, but a number of professional mandolinists in the area were highly respected as teachers and soloists.
