Religious Values And Client-Therapist Matching In Psychotherapy, Mark R. Mcminn Jan 1984

Religious Values And Client-Therapist Matching In Psychotherapy, Mark R. Mcminn

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

A recent debate on the roles of religious values in psychotherapy has focused on global issues rather than more meaningful issues of client-therapist matching. This debate is reviewed and the concept of religious value matching is introduced. As an example of the systematic variation in one's values as a function of religion, guilt accepting (G+) and guilt repressing (G-) values are considered. The four possible client-therapist matching categories are discussed and outcomes are considered from a tripartite model. Finally, recommendations for religious value matching and ethical implications are discussed.


Mechanisms Of Energy Balance In Obesity, Mark R. Mcminn Jan 1984

Mechanisms Of Energy Balance In Obesity, Mark R. Mcminn

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

The proper understanding of obesity requires a multifaceted approach. Behavioral considerations of eating and activity patterns do not account for the large between- and within-subjects variance associated with the energy-balance equation. Sources of adaptive and dispositional variance in metabolic rates are reviewed and suggested to be a likely source of importance for the proper conceptualization and intervention of obesity. Five proposed mechanisms of metabolic variation are reviewed with consideration of the supporting evidence for each mechanism. The generalizability of some of the proposed mechanisms is limited because of the scope of past research. However, the roles of lipoprotein lipase in …


Coaching Children In Social Skills For Gains In Self-Concept, C. Wayne Yocky Aug 1983

Coaching Children In Social Skills For Gains In Self-Concept, C. Wayne Yocky

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a four-week social skills training program upon the self-concepts of low self-concept children. The 22 third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade children who participated in the study were identified by low scores on the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale (PH). The coaching condition included: (a) small group instruction from an adult in social skills; (b) behavior rehearsal during game play with a peer; and (c) group post-play review with the coach. The control condition included: (a) small group interaction with the same adult on topics unrelated to social skills; …


Coping With Hemodialysis: Cognitive Appraisals, Coping Behaviors, Spiritual Well-Being, Assertiveness, And Family Adaptability And Cohesion As Correlates Of Adjustment, Clark Daniel Campbell May 1983

Coping With Hemodialysis: Cognitive Appraisals, Coping Behaviors, Spiritual Well-Being, Assertiveness, And Family Adaptability And Cohesion As Correlates Of Adjustment, Clark Daniel Campbell

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Twenty-eight patients with renal failure who were receiving hemodialysis at a private hemodialysis center vollllltered as subjects for this study. A global adjustment score was formulated for each subject by averaging their scores on three instruments: Linkowski Acceptance of Disability Scale, Productive Use of Time, and the Beck Depression Inventory. A C:Ompliance With Treatment questionnaire was originally designed to be part of the global adjustment scores. However, it did not correlate with the other adjustment measures, and therefore was not incorporated into the global adjustment scores. Adjustment scores were then compared or related to demographic variables, cognitive appraisals, coping behaviors, …


The Helper-Therapy Principle Applied To Weight Management Specialists, Kenneth A. Wallston, Mark R. Mcminn, Martin Katahn, John Pleas Jan 1983

The Helper-Therapy Principle Applied To Weight Management Specialists, Kenneth A. Wallston, Mark R. Mcminn, Martin Katahn, John Pleas

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

One hundred twenty applicants to a weight management specialist training program were studied over a 33-month period. Following a nine-month training period, Specialists (N = 29; those leading at least one posttraining weight management group) were compared to Contact Controls (N = 31; persons participating in the weight management program, but not in the helper role) and No Contact Controls (N = 60; those not accepted into the training program and whose only contact with the program was for data collection purposes) in a test of the helper-therapy principle. The major question was, "What are the long-term physical, psychological, and …


Christianity And Assertiveness: Response Of Adults In Two Evangelical Churches To Assertive Behavior, Paul S. Otto Jan 1983

Christianity And Assertiveness: Response Of Adults In Two Evangelical Churches To Assertive Behavior, Paul S. Otto

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

A review of the assertiveness literature from a biblical perspective produced six issues needing further examination: 1) definition of assertiveness, 2) concept of rights, 3) value issues, 4) relationship of self-denial to assertiveness, 5) goals of Christian assertiveness, 6) effects of assertiveness on others. In the present study, 114 subjects were randomly assigned to one of six conditions in a 2x3 analysis of variance design. Stimulus models were identified as "Christian" or "non-Christian" and modeled one of three types of interaction: 1) passive, 2) assertive, 3) considerate assertive. After reading one script, each person completed a 32 item adjective checklist …

Principles Of Behavior Therapy And Behavior Modification (Chapter 5 From The Human Reflex), Rodger K. Bufford

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

"This chapter examines the theoretical aspects of the application of behavioral psychology (technically, the experimental analysis of behavior) to the process of behavior therapy. Beginning with a brief history, we will then discuss the definition of behavior therapy and behavior modification, survey a conception of problem behavior that grows out of the behavioral approach, examine basic approaches to behavior therapy, look at specific behavior change techniques, discuss biblical parallels, and consider several areas of controversy."


A Third Variable In Obesity: The Effects Of Brown Adipose Tissue On Thermogenesis, Mark R. Mcminn Jan 1981

A Third Variable In Obesity: The Effects Of Brown Adipose Tissue On Thermogenesis, Mark R. Mcminn

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Approaches to weight management which consider only energy intake and/or expenditure do not consistently lead to favorable outcomes. A third variable, thermogenesis, must also be considered in a comprehensive understanding of obesity· Three types of thermogenesis have been outlined-shivering thermogenesis, nonshivering thermogenesis (NST), and diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT). The latter two types of thermogenesis, NST and DIT, may share a common biochemical mechanism which leads to heat production in brown adipose tissue (BAT) which is unchecked by energy needs. Four categories of studies are reviewed which implicate BAT as an important factor in DIT and point to commonalities in NST and …
