Book excerpt: Research shoes that parenting a child with autism impacts parental depression and anxiety (Bent, 2006;Schwichtenberg & Porhlmann, 2007; Sharpley, Bitsika, & Efremidis, 1997), increases parental aggravation when special services are needed (Schieve, Oliver, & Innocenti, 2001; Montes & Halterman, 2007). Consequently, there is a strong need for the development of emotion-focused as well as instrumental coping to deal with such stressors. Typical Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) programming pays little attention to parents; emotional and behavioral health when parenting a child with special needs. Research in the ares of building parental motivation to engage in appropriate intervention sources focuses on other at-risk, family-related issues such as adolescent addiction and delinquency using Family Check-Up (FCU; Dishion & Kavanagh, 2003). This and other brief motivational interventions are modeled after concepts of Motivational Interviewing (MI; Miller & Rollnick, 2002), the Drinkers Check-Up (Miller & Rollnick, 2002), and motivational enhancement therapy (MET), and aim to engage and motivate individuals to move toward change. The current study calls attention to the need for intervention in the area parent-centered services and introduces a new program, the Parent Check-Up (PCU). The PCU is based on the principles of MI and adaptations from various MI protocols and treatment manuals tailored to increasing parental motivation to then result in behaviors focused on self-care including instrumental and emotion-focused coping. Formal needs analysis, baseline assessments, and program development, as well as service engagements and completion rates are examined. Satisfaction measures were also evaluated to demonstrate the personal impact of this motivationally-based program on families. Discussion is provided in regard to the practicability and feasibility of adapting an already established evidence-based intervention to an additional population, while specifically exploring the utility of the Parent Check-Up as an ancillary support intervention for families within the context of Applied Behavior Analysis services. Direction for future research, including formal outcome assessment recommendations, are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parenting Check-up (PCU) was developed as a parent consultation model that addressed the need for individual adoptive foster families. The PCU connects assessment and intervention by identifying strengths and areas of growth in parenting practices within families. The PCU is based on the premises of the Family Check-up model (FCU) (Dishion& Kavanagh, 2003), which is a brief family intervention that emphasizes motivation to change in families and utilizes Motivational Interviewing (MI) strategies (see Miller &Rollnick, 2002). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of the PCU and individualized IY parent training on adoptive foster parents and adopted foster children behavior. The study focused on changes in parenting practices that are linked to reduction in externalizing behavior problems in children. Results indicated that implementation of the PCU with tailored Incredible Years parent training program increased parent implementation of positive parenting practices, especially, total use of praise, use of behavior specific praise, use of clear commands and ignoring. Further, these changes in parent behavior contributed to positive change in children behavior, in particular increase rate of compliance and overall decrease in externalizing behavior problems. The findings reported expand the literature base on parent consultation. The results are promising because they suggest that collaborative action planning can make parents active therapeutic agents at home, thus leading to change in the areas of need.

Book excerpt: This edited volume is an anthology of institutional ethnography (IE) inquiries into psychiatry—the first ever to be written. It focuses on a large variety of different geographic locations and constitutes a major contribution to anti/critical psychiatry, as well as institutional ethnography. Themes include the DSM, the use and protection of problematic psychiatric research, the penetration of psychiatry into the workplace. Adding depth and breath, the contributors, while all are schooled in IE, come from a large variety of walks of life, authors including: academics, psychiatric survivors, investigative reporters, activists, nurses, artists, and lawyers—each bringing their own unique expertise/standpoint to bear. The result is an intellectually rigorous book, contributions to several disciplines, ammunition for activism, and a compelling read that cannot be put down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Troubleshoot the most widespread and pernicious Java performance problems using a set of open-source and freely-available tools that will make you dramatically more productive in finding the root causes of slow performance. This is a brief book that focuses on a small number of performance anti-patterns, and you’ll find that most problems you encounter fit into one of these anti-patterns. The book provides a specific method in a series of steps referred to as the “P.A.t.h. Checklist” that encompasses persistence, alien systems, threads, and heap management. These steps guide you through a troubleshooting process that is repeatable, that you can apply to any performance problem in a Java application. This technique is especially helpful in 'dark' environments with little monitoring. Performance problems are not always localized to Java, but often fall into the realms of database access and server load. This book gives attention to both of these issues through examples showing how to identify repetitive SQL, and identify architecture-wide performance problems ahead of production rollout. Learn how to apply load like an expert, and determine how much load to apply to determine whether your system scales. Included are walk-throughs of a dozen server-side performance puzzles that are ready to run on your own machine. Following these examples helps you learn to: Assess the performance health of four main problems areas in a Java system: The P.A.t.h. Checklist presents each area with its own set of plug-it-in-now tools Pinpoint the code at fault for CPU and other bottlenecks without a Java profiler Find memory leaks in just minutes using heapSpank, the author's open-source leak detector utility that is freely available from heapSpank.org The repeatable method provided in this book is an antidote to lackluster average response times that are multi-second throughout the industry. This book provides a long absent, easy-to-follow, performance training regimen that will benefit anyone programming in Java. What You'll Learn Avoid the 6 most common ways to mess up a load test Determine the exact number of threads to dial into the load generator to test your system's scalability Detect the three most common SQL performance anti-patterns Measure network response times of calls to back-end systems ('alien systems') Identify whether garbage collection performance is healthy or unhealthy and whether delays are caused by problems in the old or new generation, so you know which generation needs to be adjusted Who This Book Is For Intermediate and expert Java developers and architects. Java experts will be able to update their skill set with the latest and most productive, open-source Java performance tools. Intermediate Java developers are exposed to the most common performance defects that repeatedly show up in Java applications, ones that account for the bulk of slow-performing systems. Experts and intermediates alike will benefit from the chapters on load generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DB2® 10 for z/OS can reduce the total DB2 CPU demand from 5-20%, compared to DB2 9, when you take advantage of all the enhancements. Many CPU reductions are built in directly to DB2, requiring no application changes. Some enhancements are implemented through normal DB2 activities through rebinding, restructuring database definitions, improving applications, and utility processing. The CPU demand reduction features have the potential to provide significant total cost of ownership savings based on the application mix and transaction types. Improvements in optimization reduce costs by processing SQL automatically with more efficient data access paths. Improvements through a range-list index scan access method, list prefetch for IN-list, more parallelism for select and index insert processing, better work file usage, better record identifier (RID) pool overflow management, improved sequential detection, faster log I/O, access path certainty evaluation for static SQL, and improved distributed data facility (DDF) transaction flow all provide more efficiency without changes to applications. These enhancements can reduce total CPU enterprise costs because of improved efficiency in the DB2 10 for z/OS. DB2 10 includes numerous performance enhancements for Large Objects (LOBs) that save disk space for small LOBs and that provide dramatically better performance for LOB retrieval, inserts, load, and import/export using DB2 utilities. DB210 can also more effectively REORG partitions that contain LOBs. This IBM Redbooks® publication® provides an overview of the performance impact of DB2 10 for z/OS discussing the overall performance and possible impacts when moving from version to version. We include performance measurements that were made in the laboratory and provide some estimates. Keep in mind that your results are likely to vary, as the conditions and work will differ. In this book, we assume that you are somewhat familiar with DB2 10 for z/OS. See DB2 10 for z/OS Technical Overview, SG24-7892-00, for an introduction to the new functions.
