Outcome Assessment in Residential Treatment
by Steven I PfeifferAs residential treatment centers and psychiatric hospitals are increasingly asked to document their effectiveness, it is essential for mental health care providers to demonstrate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the services they provide. Outcome Assessment in Residential Treatment helps health care providers demonstrate that their planned treatment is necessary and active rather than simply custodial. A practitioner’s guide to conducting treatment outcome assessment projects, this innovative book presents readers with historical perspectives, current issues, and practical suggestions for implementing an outcome assessment project.Outcome Assessment in Residential Treatment guides psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health practitioners, and social program administrators in addressing which therapeutic components contribute to the goals and objectives of their programs and which may require modification, radical revision, or even elimination. It helps residential treatment centers and psychiatric treatment facilities document treatment successes and better understand which factors (within the client, family, environment, treatment setting, or combinations therein) predict successful outcome. This objective data empowers readers to influence government and industry, enhance public awareness of the needs of severely disturbed children and youth, and validate the usefulness of intensive psychiatric treatment.Unlike other books on treatment outcome, Outcome Assessment in Residential Treatment tells readers how to determine clinically significant improvement and not simply statistically significant change. It gives practical, detailed, proven advice on how to carry out studies that will benefit residential treatment centers and the psychiatric and mental health fields. Contributors provide tools to validate/demonstrate that psychiatric and mental health treatments are effective. They offer insight into: planning a treatment outcome project recognizing ethical, practical, methodological, logistical, and clinical considerations in implementing a treatment outcome project selecting instruments to assess treatment outcome and measuring success comparing different outcome measuresHealth care providers must have accurate information about treatment outcomes to demonstrate that specific services are beneficial, cost-effective, and well-received by the client. Outcome Assessment in Residential Treatment helps readers evaluate the impact a treatment program has on a client’s clinical status and psychosocial and educational functioning, making it possible to provide an objective yardstick for the payer’s evaluation of the quality of care provided.Psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health practitioners, and social program administrators will find Outcome Assessment in Residential Treatment an essential guide to evaluating and understanding the relative effects of specific interventions or procedures on the quality and effectiveness of their services. They will use this information to make appropriate changes which guarantee that they best meet their clients’mental health care needs.

Inclusion Practices with Special Needs Students: Education, Training, and Application
by Steven I Pfeiffer Linda A ReddyExplore the challenges, opportunities, and pitfalls of the inclusion of students with disabilities in your classroom!Exciting, complex, and challenging shifts in American education are occurring today. First, schools are moving to embrace student diversity and accommodate the classroom experience to support diverse ways of organizing students for learning. Second, teachers are moving away from a traditional didactic instructional mode and embracing a facilitator role that encourages creating innovative classroom learning opportunities. Third, there is a shift from the view of the school as providing educational and psychoeducational services for students to providing educational supports for learning.Coinciding with these changes is the growing movement in special education that enourages full inclusion of students with special needs. This is a far cry from the exclusionary and separatist movements of special education less than twenty years ago. Now American education is facing the challenging situation of working with students with disabilities in the regular classroom. Inclusion Practices with Special Needs Students provides a much needed overview of the issues faced by educators committed to understanding how to best serve children with disabilities in schools.Inclusion Practices with Special Needs Students: Theory, Research, and Application provides an overview of the origins, evolution, and recent developments regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities into general education classrooms.

The contributors are authorities in their respective areas of inclusionary practices.Some of the issues you will explore in Inclusion Practices with Special Needs Students are: political, fiscal, and legal events that have shaped inclusion practices implications for school psychologists handling students with serious emotional, behavioral, or developmental problems remaining in regular education agenda for future research priorities for research, training, and policy reformInclusion Practices with Special Needs Students addresses practical, psychoeducational, philosophical, legal, ethical, and financial issues surrounding the inclusionary initiative in special education.

Christianity and Fear: A Study in History and in the Psychology and Hygiene of Religion
by Oscar PfisterOriginally published in 1948, Christianity and Fear explores the nature and history of Christian love in relation to the problem of fear. Based on methods of depth psychology and mental hygiene, the book argues for the necessity of a general concentration of the Christian religion and way of life upon the unity of love through faith and faith through love. It presents the struggle between the teaching of Christian love and the many instances of disputes on dogma that have prompted hatred and fear throughout ecclesiastical history. By using the theory of fear and compulsions, it attempts to explain the directions assumed by these aberrations in Christian history and to highlight love as the essence of the teaching of Jesus. Christianity and Fear will appeal to those with an interest in the history of Christianity, theology, and the psychology of religion.

Der Kompass zum digitalen Mentoring & Coaching: Digitale Beratung entwerfen, gestalten und durchführen
by Stephan Pflaum Markus J. SchwalbDas Buch gibt den Lesern einen praxisnahen Einblick in das Thema Digitalisierung von Beratungsprozessen im Coaching und Mentoring. 2020 war auf der ganzen Welt ein herausforderndes Jahr und wie es aussieht, werden uns diese Herausforderungen auch in 2021 begleiten. Große Teile der arbeitenden Welt fanden sich von einem Tag auf den anderen im Homeoffice wieder. Von der Grundschule bis in die Vorstandsebene, überall traten Zoom, Teams, Jitsi, WebEx, BigBlueButton ihren Siegeszug an und dominierten unsere Kommunikation. Einerseits gab diese Entwicklung der Digitalisierung einen enormen Entwicklungsschub. Andererseits aber fehlte uns allen die Zeit, sich auf diese Entwicklungen einzustellen. Vor allem die Bereiche, in denen die direkte zwischen-menschliche Kommunikation besonders wichtig ist, Beratung, Coaching und Mentoring waren betroffen. Aus dieser Situation heraus entstand die Idee für dieses Buch. Die Herausgeber und Autoren arbeiten seit vielen Jahren in den genannten Bereichen und sammelten und dokumentierten ihre Erfahrungen in 2020.
Spiel und Magie in der Psychoanalyse: Setting, Rahmen, Regeln (essentials)
by Diana PflichthoferDiana Pflichthofer nähert sich dem Thema der Psychoanalyse auf neuem Wege: Sie erläutert die spielerischen und magischen Elemente, die in besonderer Weise bei der Arbeit in der Übertragung zur Geltung kommen. Indem die Psychoanalytikerin eine ihr vom Patienten unbewusst zugewiesene Übertragungsrolle annimmt, lässt sie sich auf diese psychische Realität ein, wie jemand sich auf die Realität eines Spiels einlässt. Dabei muss sich die Analytikerin der Tatsache bewusst sein, dass ihr - gefördert durch den Rahmen und die Regeln - magische Eigenschaften zugeschrieben werden, die ihr eine Machtposition verleihen. Sie darf diese Macht jedoch niemals missbrauchen, sondern muss sie stets in den Dienst der Autonomie-Entwicklung des Analysanden stellen.

Resilient Controls for Ordering Uncertain Prospects
by Khanh D. PhamProviding readers with a detailed examination of resilient controls in risk-averse decision, this monograph is aimed toward researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics and electrical engineering with a systems-theoretic concentration. This work contains a timely and responsive evaluation of reforms on the use of asymmetry or skewness pertaining to the restrictive family of quadratic costs that have been appeared in various scholarly forums. Additionally, the book includes a discussion of the current and ongoing efforts in the usage of risk, dynamic game decision optimization and disturbance mitigation techniques with output feedback measurements tailored toward the worst-case scenarios. This work encompasses some of the current changes across uncertainty quantification, stochastic control communities, and the creative efforts that are being made to increase the understanding of resilient controls. Specific considerations are made in this book for the application of decision theory to resilient controls of the linear-quadratic class of stochastic dynamical systems. Each of these topics are examined explicitly in several chapters. This monograph also puts forward initiatives to reform both control decisions with risk consequences and correct-by-design paradigms for performance reliability associated with the class of stochastic linear dynamical systems with integral quadratic costs and subject to network delays, control and communication constraints.
Enhancing Student Education Transitions and Employability: From Theory to Practice
by Thanh Pham Behnam SoltaniThis book explores student education transition and employability negotiation experiences in various contexts. It explores determinants of student transitions at three levels including macro, meso and micro but focuses on exploring affordances, constraints and strategies at the micro level. The framework underpinning the explorations at the micro level covers a range of different forms of capital including human, culture, social, identity, psychological and agentic. The book is unique in three ways. First, it consists of chapters about critical discussion, empirical research and practical guidance about student transition experiences. The critical discussion and empirical research chapters explore and obtain insights about the complexity of student transitions and develop conceptual frameworks that guide the development of applicable practices. The book is, therefore, a useful resource for policy makers, institutions, academics, professionals and students. Second, it provides insights about how student transitions are determined by a range of factors at different levels. These insights extend discussions about student transitions in the current literature which have mainly explored impacts of policies, institutional programmes and human capital. Finally, it is international in focus because it draws on research with different cohorts of students and graduates in different contexts. Insights provided in the book are, therefore, rich, diverse and comparative.
