Book Synopsis With the Wind and the Waves by : Ray M. Droby
Download or read book With the Wind and the Waves written by Ray M. Droby and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In With the Wind and the Waves, psychologist Ray M. Droby tells a story of treatment and learning, drawing on experiences ranging from an ocean journey he took on the Bering Sea while serving in a Alaska Native community to his clinical work as a psychologist in rural Alaska. Like negotiating an ocean, Droby moves “with the wind and the waves” while working with substance abuse disorders and mental health issues superimposed on intergenerational trauma and internalized oppression. He captures positive momentum in work aimed at facilitating self-determination with Alaska Natives and their communities while discouraging historical dependency and colonizing patterns of thinking and doing for mental health workers. Sensitive to the history of non-Native outsiders imposing their own culture on Native land, Droby presents here principles, combined with cultural and therapy considerations, that are designed to help people avoid replicating this history of harm. Recognizing the strengths of Alaska Natives and their communities, and the stages of change human individuals and communities undergo, Droby shows how to exercise a nonjudgmental presence as a mental health worker in rural Alaska.
Book Synopsis A Grant Proposal to Study the MMPI-2 Profile of Second-generation Asian-Indian Americans by : Monica K. Kathuria
Download or read book A Grant Proposal to Study the MMPI-2 Profile of Second-generation Asian-Indian Americans written by Monica K. Kathuria and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following study will investigate the MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2) profile of second generation Asian-Indian Americans. Results hope to show that elevations on the MMPI-2 with the Asian-Indian population are more of a reflection of cultural variables rather then psychopathology. Additionally, the level of acculturation is believed to impact responses and scores on this objective personality test. The SL-ASIA (Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale) will be used to assess level of acculturation (low, bicultural, and high). A sample consisting of Asian-Indian Americans ranging from ages 18 to 35 will be recruited on college campuses, and by implementing a snowball technique. These individuals will be compared to the normative sample on the MMPI-2. A 2 x 3 MANOVA will be used to examine the effects of acculturation and gender on the 3 validity and 10 clinical scales of the MMPI-2. Low acculturated and bicultural individuals are expected to show elevations, and high acculturated individuals are expected to resemble the normative sample. This study is crucial in offering data and background information that may aid clinicians who work with individuals of Asian-Indian descent.
Book Synopsis Clinician Perspectives on Culturally Sensitive MMPI-2 Interpretation with Minnesota Native Americans by : Keyur Desai
Download or read book Clinician Perspectives on Culturally Sensitive MMPI-2 Interpretation with Minnesota Native Americans written by Keyur Desai and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Culturally Appropriate and Valid Psychological Assessments for Ethical Use with American Indians (CVE) as cited on the website of the Minnesota Department of Human Services, 26.6% of the state's Native American population who complete a diagnostic assessment take the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2nd edition (MMPI-2) in any given year. As such, a pertinent question is whether the MMPI-2 is an appropriate tool for assessing personality for this population. Nichols (2011) stated that the practicing clinicians who participated in the study failed to use research on cultural influences that may elevate the clinical and validity scale on the MMPI-2 with a specific ethnic population. In addition, Butcher and Williams (1999) stated that the MMPI-2 did not include an adequate normative representation of Native Americans. Furthermore, Butcher and Williams (1999) also stated that most studies about the MMPI-2 and Native Americans have shown numerous methodological flaws. Despite these flaws, proponents of the MMPI-2 continued to maintain that the use of the instrument is culturally valid, and it continues to be the most used personality assessment instrument with Native Americans (Butcher, 2009; Butcher & Williams, 1999). The focus of this qualitative study was to provide a detailed view of six clinicians' experiences in administering the MMPI-2 with Native Americans and their use of cultural information to interpret the profile. Using thematic analysis, the results yielded seven themes that were categorized in three distinct domains: A) trauma informs the responses to MMPI-2, B) awareness of clients' cultural belief system by the clinicians, and C) clinicians' awareness of their own cultural competence and sensitivity.

Book Synopsis Religion and Spirituality for Diverse Women by : Thema Bryant-Davis
Download or read book Religion and Spirituality for Diverse Women written by Thema Bryant-Davis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays considers the role of spirituality and religion in the lives of American women from various ethnic backgrounds, showing how faith empowers those in populations often marginalized in the United States. Religion and spirituality are sources of strength and resilience for many women, particularly ethnically diverse women. This thought-provoking text examines this psychological trend, exploring the specific ways in which women from diverse backgrounds have benefited from their faith traditions, the various spiritual pathways they have chosen, and the impact of those choices on their lives. Essays in this informative compilation show how women from African American, Latina, American Indian, Asian American, and Caucasian backgrounds recover from difficulties and traumas with the help of their faith. Contributors consider why women are more likely to endorse religious engagement than men; why ethnically marginalized women tap into spirituality for comfort more than any other population; and why many believers embrace religion as a coping mechanism throughout their lives—from adolescence to older adulthood. The work suggests ways for counselors, leaders, and religious figures to utilize this knowledge to bolster the well-being of those they serve.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Personality Assessment by : Richard H. Dana
Download or read book Handbook of Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Personality Assessment written by Richard H. Dana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2000-02 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world as in the United States, psychologists are increasingly being called upon to evaluate clients whose backgrounds differ from their own. It has long been recognized that standard personality and psychopathology assessment instruments carry cultural biases, and in recent years, efforts to correct these biases have accelerated. The Handbook of Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Personality Assessment brings together researchers and practitioners from 12 countries with diverse ethnic and racial identities and training to present state-of-the-art knowledge about how best to minimize cultural biases in the assessment of personality and psychopathology. They consider research methodology, the design and construction of standard objective and projective tests, the use of measures of acculturation, racial identity, and culture-specific tests, the social etiquette of service delivery, and the interpretation of test data for clinical diagnosis. Ranging widely through all the relevant issues, they share a common collective vision of how culturally competent services should be delivered to clients. The Handbook offers the first comprehensive view of a consistent approach to cultural competence in assessment--a necessary precursor of effective intervention. It will become an indispensable reference for all those whose practice or research involves individuals with different ethnic and racial identities.

Book Synopsis Quality of Life Assessment: Key Issues in the 1990s by : S.R. Walker
Download or read book Quality of Life Assessment: Key Issues in the 1990s written by S.R. Walker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was over five years ago that the Centre for Medicines Research organized a workshop entitled "Quality of Life: Assessment and Application". This workshop brought together a unique group of participants, some of whom had been involved in studies on quality of life for well over a decade, whilst others were meeting the subject for the first time. This blend of experienced researchers and enthusiastic newcomers was a great stimulus to the discus sions which followed individual presentations as well as that resulting from the study groups. In the ensuing publication, a balance was sought between a consideration of the complex principles underlying the assessment of quality of life and the application of such assessments to specific clinical conditions which necessitated this approach. The organization in 1991 of a second workshop entitled "Quality of Life Assessment: Key Issues in the 1990s" resulted in a further consideration of the quality of life philosophy, concepts and key instruments together with an update on assessing quality of life in a number of major disease areas. Of particular importance was an examination of various viewpoints concerned with ethical questions and their implications, and quality oflife from industry, regulatory and health care purchasers' perspectives. As a result of this second workshop, the editors of the original book referred to above decided to produce a second edition with a number of updates and additional chapters.

Book Synopsis Clinician's Guide To Neuropsychological Assessment by : Rodney D. Vanderploeg
Download or read book Clinician's Guide To Neuropsychological Assessment written by Rodney D. Vanderploeg and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuropsychological assessment is a difficult and complicated process. Often, experienced clinicians as well as trainees and students gloss over fundamental problems or fail to consider potential sources of error. Since formal test data on the surface appear unambiguous and objective, they may fall into the habit of overemphasizing tests and their scores and underemphasizing all the factors that affect the validity, reliability, and interpretability of test data. But interpretation is far from straightforward, and a pragmatic application of assessment results requires attention to a multitude of issues. This long-awaited, updated, and greatly expanded second edition of the Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, like the first, focuses on the clinical practice of neuropsychology. Orienting readers to the entire multitude of issues, it guides them step by step through evaluation and helps them avoid common misconceptions, mistakes, and methodological pitfalls. It is divided into three sections: fundamental elements of the assessment process; special issues, settings, and populations; and new approaches and methodologies. The authors, all of whom are actively engaged in the clinical practice of neuropsychological assessment, as well as in teaching and research, do an outstanding job of integrating the academic and the practical. The Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, Second Edition will be welcomed as a text for graduate courses but also as an invaluable hands-on handbook for interns, postdoctoral fellows, and experienced neuropsychologists alike. No other book offers its combination of breadth across batteries and approaches, depth, and practicality.
