The Case For Multisystemic Therapy: Evidence Or Orthodoxy?, Julia H. Littell
The Case For Multisystemic Therapy: Evidence Or Orthodoxy?, Julia H. Littell
Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research Faculty Research and Scholarship
In this paper, I respond to comments by Henggeler, Schoenwald, Borduin, and Swenson [Henngeler, S. W., Schoenwald, S. K., Borduin, C. M., & Swenson, C. C. (this issue). The Littell paper: Methodological critique and meta-analysis as Trojan horse. Children and Youth Services Review, doi: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2005.07.001] on my recent article, “Lessons from a systematic review of Multisystemic Therapy”. I identify factual and logical errors in their response, show how relevant research has been misinterpreted and misrepresented, and suggest constructive new directions for Multisystemic Therapy and the evidence-based practice movement.
Organizational Stress In Social Care, Brian Mccarthy
Organizational Stress In Social Care, Brian Mccarthy
Other resources
The aim of this research project was to develop a model of understanding, coping with and preventing work-related stress in social care organizations. The research was framed conceptually in a model of organizational stress developed and adapted from Beehr’s (1998) integrative model of organizational stress. The first two stages of the research project explored by interview and survey staff and management perceptions of stress in their organizations. It was found that both acute and chronic stressors occurred and were seen to have increased; organizational stressors were also likely to be more persistent and chronic when they occurred. Interviewees were

‘Poster Meets Innis: Poststructuralism And The Possibility Of Political Economy’, Robert Babe, Edward Comor
‘Poster Meets Innis: Poststructuralism And The Possibility Of Political Economy’, Robert Babe, Edward Comor
FIMS Publications
This is the fifth and final column in the Topia series exploring intersections between political economy and cultural studies. The column in Topia 15 (Babe 2006: 91-101) documents the tendency on the part of mainstream American communication/media scholars—from John Dewey in the first decades of the 20th century to postmodernist writers of today—to obscure to the vanishing point concerns and methods of political economy. The earlier column suggests that “readers should scrutinize carefully the writings of contemporary poststructuralist/postmodernist authoritative figures to determine just where they stand on issues of political economy” (98). That is precisely what we do here: we …
Why Are Hyperlinks To Business Websites Created? A Content Analysis, L. Vaughan, Y. Gao, M. Kipp
Why Are Hyperlinks To Business Websites Created? A Content Analysis, L. Vaughan, Y. Gao, M. Kipp
FIMS Publications
Motivations for the creation of hyperlinks to business sites were analyzed through a content analysis approach. Links to 280 North American IT companies (71 Canadian companies and 209 U.S. companies) were searched through Yahoo!. Then a random sample of 808 links was taken from the links retrieved. The content as well as the context of each link was manually examined to determine why the link was created. The country location and the type of the site where the link came from were also identified. The study found that most links were created for business purposes confirming findings from early quantitative …
The Study Of Urban Form In Canada, Jason Gilliland, Pierre Gauthier
The Study Of Urban Form In Canada, Jason Gilliland, Pierre Gauthier
Geography & Environment Publications
This paper examines contributions to the study of urban form in Canada by French and English researchers working in a variety of disciplines, especially architecture, planning, geography, and history. Instead of discussing contributions purely along traditional linguistic or disciplinary lines, the authors use a novel classification scheme to identify and categorize significant works according to their particular epistemological perspective, before describing noteworthy contributions of various academic disciplines by key authors and research themes. The most significant contributions to the study of urban form in Canada have come from two largely isolated camps: first, architects/planners, mostly from Québec, who examine form …
Mapping Urban Morphology: A Classification Scheme For Interpreting Contributions To The Study Of Urban Form, Pierre Gauthier, Jason Gilliland
Mapping Urban Morphology: A Classification Scheme For Interpreting Contributions To The Study Of Urban Form, Pierre Gauthier, Jason Gilliland
Geography & Environment Publications
Urban morphology is a thriving field of enquiry involving researchers from a wide diversity of disciplinary, linguistic and cultural backgrounds. While this diversity has helped advance our understanding of the complexity of urban form, confusion and controversy has also arisen over the various theoretical formulations forwarded by researchers from different philosophical and epistemological backgrounds. With the aim of improving intelligibility in the field, this paper proposes a straightforward scheme to identify, classify and interpret, or ‘map’, individual contributions to the study of urban form according to their respective theoretical or epistemological perspectives. Drawing upon epistemological discussions familiar to the readers …

The Presentation Of Complementary And Alternative Medicine Information In Canadian Midwifery Care, Pamela J. Mckenzie, Tami Oliphant
FIMS Presentations
Abstract: This paper uses discourse analysis to consider midwives’ and pregnant women’s discussions of conventional and complementary and alternative medicine interventions for inducing labour. Participants distinguished between “natural” and “medical” methods and used information sources based on both biomedical evidence and women’s experience to justify and challenge authority claims. Résumé : Cet article utilise l’analyse du discours pour examiner les conversations des sagesfemmes et des femmes enceintes au sujet des interventions en médecine traditionnelle, douce et alternative pour assister l’accouchement. Les participantes ont fait la distinction entre les méthodes « naturelles » et « médicales » et ont utilisé des …
Critical Theory And Information Studies: A Marcusean Infusion, Ajit K. Pyati
Critical Theory And Information Studies: A Marcusean Infusion, Ajit K. Pyati
FIMS Publications
In the field of library and information science, also known as information studies, critical theory is often not included in debates about the discipline’s theoretical foundations. This paper argues that the critical theory of Herbert Marcuse, in particular, has a significant contribution to make to the field of information studies. Marcuse’s focus, for instance, on ‘technical rationality’ as a tool of domination in modern capitalist society is a useful construct for understanding how discourses of information technology are being used to perpetuate modernist notions of information and capitalist logics of consumption. It is argued here that critical theory theory and …

Let’S Not Get Psyched Out Of Privacy: Reflections On Withdrawing Consent To The Collection, Use And Disclosure Of Personal Information, Jennifer Barrigar, Jacquelyn Burkell, Ian Kerr
FIMS Publications
The technologies that we use and the values we embrace construct an information hungry society. Our mass adoption of them has transformed many of us into information junkies, and those whose business it is to feed our info-pangs continuously demand quid pro quo: in order to get information, you must give some up. In this article, we investigate PIPEDA’s conception of consent, with special emphasis on the right of individuals to withdraw consent.
Anonymity In Behavioural Research: Not Being Unnamed, But Being Unknown, Jacquelyn Burkell
Anonymity In Behavioural Research: Not Being Unnamed, But Being Unknown, Jacquelyn Burkell
FIMS Publications
EMPIRICAL RESEARCH IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES should help answer a crucial question: how does anonymity influence behaviour? A quick perusal of the literature, however, reveals that the answer provided by this research is far from simple. According to the empirical literature, “anonymity” has broad, varied, and inconsistent behavioural effects. A deeper reading reveals that the complexity of behavioural effects is matched by the complexity and variety in the empirical definitions of “anonymity.” Analysis of empirical manipulations designed to operationalize the concept reveal that they reflect three distinct concepts: 1) identity protection (withholding of name or other unique identifiers); 2) visual …
