The structure of a course entitled Family Therapy with Major Psychopathology taught annually in the Mercer University Graduate Marriage and Family Therapy Program is presented. An epistemological presentation regarding the interface of psychiatric nosology and family systems assessment is discussed. Methods of diagnosing and assessing dysfunctional family systems are presented and training in individual psychiatric nosology is discussed, with particular attention given to family systems dysfunction as an etiological factor in the development of individual psychopathology. Learning techniques are discussed including lecture, discussion, case presentations, readings, and testing methods. 相似文献

In a randomized clinical trial, multisystemic family preservation was shown to significantly reduce rates of criminal activity and incarceration in a sample of 84 serious juvenile offenders and their multi-need families. In the current study, archival records were searched for re-arrest an average of 2.4 years post-referral. Survival analysis showed that youths who received multisystemic family preservation were less likely to be re-arrested than were youths who had received usual services. Such results represent the first controlled demonstration that family preservation, when delivered via a clearly specified treatment model, has lasting effects with serious juvenile offenders. Implications for family preservation and juvenile justice research are discussed. 相似文献

Meaningful living is a central focus of several humanistic theories and therapies. Measurement of life meaning meets many obstacles, including pragmatic concerns, such as measuring subjective experiences, and theoretical objections often offered by humanistic psychologists. The purpose of this article is to summarize empirical efforts related to logotherapy, a humanistic–existential paradigm, to illustrate the utility of assessment within the larger context of humanistic psychology. An overview of five logotherapeutic measures of meaning is provided. These measures include the Purpose in Life test (PIL), the Life Purpose Questionnaire (LPQ), the Seeking of Noetic Goals test (SONG), the Meaning in Suffering Test (MIST), and the Life Attitude Profile Revised (LAP–R). Directions for use of such measures in future research are also offered. 相似文献

This study’s purpose was to use confirmatory factor analysis to compare published factor-analytic models of the 20-item Purpose in Life test (PIL) to identify the one that provides the best fit to the data. To date many different models have been described, with limited evidence to support whether they are replicable. This study utilized data from undergraduates (N = 620) from a medium-sized university located in the southern United States. Ten different PIL models were tested, with support found for the two-factor model (exciting life, purposeful life) of Morgan and Farsides. Recommendations and implications for research are provided. 相似文献

Premarital precursors of infidelity were evaluated in a sample of 72 couples (N = 144) who were taking part in a longitudinal study of marriage. Premarital self-report and observational data were compared for couples who experienced infidelity and those who did not experience infidelity in the first years of marriage. Couples in which the male engaged in marital infidelity were characterized, premaritally, by significantly lower male sexual satisfaction, lower male positive communication, and higher female invalidation, whereas couples in which the female went on to engage in infidelity were characterized, premaritally, by significantly lower levels of female positive communication, higher levels of male and female negative communication, and higher levels of male and female invalidation. Implications of the findings for future research on the prediction and prevention of infidelity are discussed. 相似文献

To meet the needs of clients, mental health clinics must offer responsive, organized intake procedures. Clients who receive
rapid intervention when they request therapy services are more likely to attend and benefit from therapy. The present study
examined the effects of implementing a web-based scheduling program on treatment delays and first session attendance. Results
indicated that the use of a web-based scheduling system significantly reduced the number of days clients waited for a first
appointment and increased the number of kept appointments. Additionally, clients provided with an immediate response to their
request for treatment successfully terminated from therapy after fewer sessions. 相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that the moderate correlation between optimism (O) and pessimism (P) scores (their non-bipolarity)
found in earlier studies may be an artifact of the differential sensitivity of O and P items to two response sets: defensive
pessimism and Pollyannaism. The data failed to support either component of the hypothesis. Thus, defensive pessimists, as
measured in two quite different ways, had lower depression scores (BDI) than genuine pessimists, but contrary to prediction,
had higher depression scores than optimists. Moreover, deleting P items with a strong defensive quality from the P scale failed
to increase the correlation between O and P scores. Similarly, controlling Pollyannaism by a partial correlation procedure
failed to increase the strength of the relation between O and P. The results in general support the notion that optimism and
pessimism are not polar opposites.
This article is based on a dissertation presented by the senior author to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of
the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Philosophy degree. 相似文献
