Anger Treatment for People with Developmental Disabilities A Theory, Evidence and ...

Anger Treatment for People with Developmental Disabilities: A Theory, Evidence and Manual Based Approach By John L. Taylor, Raymond W. Novaco(auth.)
2005 | 269 Pages | ISBN: 0470870044 | PDF | 3 MB
Anger and aggression are prevalent problems among people with developmental disabilities and constitute primary reasons for them to be admitted and re-admitted to institutions. They are also a key reason for the prescribing of behaviour control and anti-psychotic medication to this client group. Stimulated by growing research in this area, mental health and criminal justice professionals have begun to see the benefits of anger assessment and cognitive-behavioural anger treatment for people with developmental disabilities. There is no prior text to guide anger treatment provision to this client group. This text presents a manual-guided cognitive-behavioural anger treatment protocol, grounded in a solid theoretical framework and empirical evidence for its efficacy in clinical practice. The assessment and treatment approach is designed to engage and motivate patients with recurrent and deep-rooted anger problems and their manifestation in serious aggressive behaviour. Accompanying the treatment protocol are a number of worksheets, handouts, and exercise sheets for clinicians and clients that can be accessed online. Content: Chapter 1 Anger and Aggression: Conceptual Background and Historical Perspective (pages 1-14): Chapter 2 Anger and its Dysregulation: A Guiding Framework (pages 15-26): Chapter 3 Anger Treatment Effectiveness (pages 27-33): Chapter 4 Emotional Problems, Aggression, and Psychotherapy for People with Developmental Disabilities (pages 34-42): Chapter 5 Anger Treatment for People with Developmental Disabilities (pages 43-66): Chapter 6 Issues in Anger Assessment and Treatment Evaluation (pages 67-85): Chapter 7 Development, Delivery and Maintenance of a Cognitive?Behavioural Anger Treatment Protocol for People with Developmental Disabilities (pages 86-102): Chapter 8 Anger Treatment Protocol - Preparatory Phase (pages 103-119): Chapter 9 Anger Treatment Protocol - Treatment Phase (pages 120-152): Chapter 10 Therapist Training, Supervision, and Process Considerations (pages 153-166): Bruce T.

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series.The Antarctic Peninsula region represents our best natural laboratory to investigate how earth's major climate systems interact and how such systems respond to rapid regional warming. The scale of environmental changes now taking place across the region is large and their pace rapid but the subsystems involved are still small enough to observe and accurately document cause and affect mechanisms. For example, clarification of ice shelf stability via the Larsen Ice Shelf is vital to understanding the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, its climate evolution, and its response to and control of sea level. By encompassing the broadest range of interdisciplinary studies, this volume provides the global change research and educational communities a framework in which to advance our knowledge of the causes behind regional warming, the dramatic glacial and ecological responses, and the potential uniqueness of the event within the region's paleoclimate record. The volume also serves as a vital resource for public policy and governmental funding agencies as well as a means to educate the large number of ecotourists that visit the region each austral summer.Content:

2011 | 245 Pages | ISBN: 0875904823 | PDF | 16 MB
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series.Antarctic Subglacial Aquatic Environments is the first volume on this important and fascinating subject. With its underlying theme of bridging existing knowledge to future research, it is a benchmark in the history of subglacial lake exploration and study, containing up-to-date discussions about the history and background of subglacial aquatic environments and future exploration. The main topics addressed are identification, location, physiography, and hydrology of 387 subglacial lakes; protocols for environmental stewardship and protection of subglacial lake environments; details of three programs aiming to explore Vostok Subglacial Lake, Ellsworth Subglacial Lake, and Whillans Subglacial Lake over the next 3-5 years; assessment of technological requirements for exploration programs based on best practices for environmental stewardship and scientific success; and knowledge of subglacial lakes as habitats for microbial life and as recorders of past climate and ice sheet change. Its uniqueness, breadth, and inclusiveness will appeal to microbiologists and those interested in life in extreme environments, paleoclimatologists and those interested in sedimentary records of past changes, glaciologists striving to understand how water beneath glaciers affects their flow, and those engaged in developing technology to undertake direct measurement and sampling of extreme environments on Earth and in the solar system.Content:

Anteaesthetics Black Aesthesis and the Critique of Form (Inventions Black Philosop...

Anteaesthetics: Black Aesthesis and the Critique of Form (Inventions: Black Philosophy, Politics, Aesthetics) by Rizvana Bradley
English | October 24th, 2023 | ISBN: 1503637131 | 406 pages | True EPUB | 40.58 MB
In Anteaesthetics, Rizvana Bradley begins from the proposition that blackness cannot be represented in modernity's aesthetic regime, but is nevertheless foundational to every representation. Troubling the idea that the aesthetic is sheltered from the antiblack terror that lies just beyond its sanctuary, Bradley insists that blackness cannot make a home within the aesthetic, yet is held as its threshold and aporia. The book problematizes the phenomenological and ontological conceits that underwrite the visual, sensual, and abstract logics of modernity.

Moving across multiple histories and geographies, artistic mediums and forms, from nineteenth-century painting and early cinema, to the contemporary text-based works, video installations, and digital art of Glenn Ligon, Mickalene Thomas, and Sondra Perry, Bradley inaugurates a new method for interpretation-an ante-formalism which demonstrates how black art engages in the recursive deconstruction of the aesthetic forms that remain foundational to modernity. Foregrounding the negativity of black art, Bradley shows how each of these artists disclose the racialized contours of the body, form, and medium, even interrogating the form that is the world itself. Drawing from black critical theory, Continental philosophy, film and media studies, art history, and black feminist thought, Bradley explores artistic practices that inhabit the negative underside of form. Ultimately, Anteaesthetics asks us to think philosophically with black art, and with the philosophical invention black art necessarily undertakes.
