Evidence-based treatments for trauma among culturally diverse foster care youth: Treatment retention and outcomes

This study describes the implementation of three evidence-based treatments addressing traumatic stress symptoms within a wraparound foster care program in Illinois. Child–Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS) were implemented with a racially diverse sample of youth ages 3–18 at six agencies. Culturally sensitive adaptations were made to treatment approaches to improve client retention and outcomes. Data analyses revealed no racial differences in retention in the program and no differences in outcomes between minority youth exposed to the intervention and other participants. All three evidence-based treatments were effective in reducing symptoms and improving functioning among minority youth. Implementation issues, including challenges and culturally competent accommodations, are discussed.     

Chapter 4: Research on the Integration of Employee Assistance,Work-Life and Wellness Services

SUMMARY

This article will focus on the research exploring the degree to which organizational integration of Employee Assistance, Work/Family and Wellness Programs has evolved since the early 1990s. The first study reviewed is the National Study of EAP and Work/Family Programs conducted in 1994 by Boston University's Center on Work and Family in which 100 of the top family friendly companies were inter viewed. Two major studies conducted under the guidance of the Employee Assistance Professional Association (EAPA) are then reviewed. The Phase I research conducted in 2001 was a large-scale survey of the professionals in fields of EAP and Work-life (N = 950). The Phase II research conducted in 2002 was comprised of two stages: A pilot study surveying vendors in the EAP and Work-life fields (N = 213) and a qualitative study consisting of in-depth interviews with vendors from all three professions (N = 79). The overall theme from this body of research is one of dramatically increasing movement and market demand for some form of collaboration/integration of service delivery. Finally, the chapter offers recommendations for further research regarding integration of services as well as implications for the professional fields.     

文学真实的范畴厘定和价值探微

在创作和欣赏实践中 ,“真实”是一个被广泛运用但又偏颇最多的文学价值尺度。“真实”的概念范畴 ,可以从三个角度厘定 :( 1)真实是创造的产物 ;( 2 )真实的创造建基于人类求真向善的合规律性与合目的性之上 ;( 3)真实以文学形象方式具体存在。与真实的主观色彩相反 ,真实的价值奥妙在于它在深层对创作规律的契合 ,以及对生活客体的尊重。因此 ,真实成为文学自然态度、人文精神和作家人格的体现 ,说到底 ,成为文学的胆识、气度和一种可贵的艺术品质     

隐喻的两种理论

Lakoff的概念隐喻理论对隐喻的研究具有深远的影响 ,它使两千多年以来一直作为修辞手段的隐喻成为一种重要的认知方式 ,从而为认知语言学的发展奠定了坚实的基础。而Fau connier的合成空间理论是目前最具权威性的隐喻理论。本文试图从认知的角度研究隐喻 ,探讨了这两种理论的差异与各自的局限性。     

论二十世纪我国的汉英语音对比研究

20世纪30年代至40年代,赵元任等学者已经开始对英汉语音的异同进行研究.自那时起,英汉语音对比成了我国英汉语言对比研究的一个重要领域,涉及发音语音学、音位系统构成、语流中的音变、音节、音高体系以及重音和节奏等七个方面,其中绝大部分成果为英语和汉语普通话的语音对比分析,但也有一些成果是对英语和汉语主要方言的比较,个别成果从历时的角度对英汉语音的异同进行了讨论.尽管我们在英汉语音对比方面已经取得了一定的成绩,但依靠实验手段的研究十分不够,生成音系学的汉英对比也尚无人涉足,语音对比的成果推广以及语音对比与语言学其他领域研究的结合更需大大加强.

中小学生身体、言语和间接欺负的性别差异--中国与英国的跨文化比较

本研究采用修订的Olweus欺负/受欺负问卷对8792名中国中小学生和1061名英国中小学生受到身体、言语以及间接欺负的性别差异进行跨文化比较.结果发现(1)总体上,小学生受到三种形式的欺负的比例均高于初中生;中国中小学中言语与间接欺负的发生率低于英国中小学.(2)无论中国还是英国,男生比女生受到更多的身体欺负.(3)中国小学和初中男生比女生更多地受到言语欺负,英国小学女生则比男生更多地受到言语欺负.(4)中国小学和初中男生比女生更多地受到间接欺负;在英国则相反,无论小学还是初中,女生中间接欺负的发生率均高于男生.

论“职工中心主义”下的职工持股会制度

职工持股制度的萌芽始发于20世纪60年代的美国,后来其在西方国家进一步发展完善.人们普遍认为这种制度是一种企业内部对职工的激励机制,可以促进职工财产的形成,确保和发扬职工对公司的归属意识和忠诚心,从而提高企业的生产效率.20世纪90年代,为了适应国有企业改革的需要,中国的职工持股计划开始起步.随着实践的展开,职工持股会的设立与运行成为该制度中的核心问题.文章结合我国立法实践和学者的论著,从"职工中心主义"的视角,论述我国职工持股会制度的法律构造.
