THE PREPARATORY INTERVIEW

An educational approach to preparing clients for group is a widely held concept delineated throughout the literature and research studies on group work practice. The author is suggesting an important additional component as part of any preparation model, focusing on the client's perceptions, expectations, fantasies and concerns about what it means to be a member of an organized group. This client focused process can have a positive impact on each individual's experience within the group as well as accelerating the formation of group cohesion. This is illustrated in forming groups for children of Holocaust survivors.     

A Pilot Study of 2 Brief Forms of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training for Emotion Dysregulation in College Students

Abstract

Objective: To examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of 2 abbreviated dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training groups: emotion regulation skills only and emotion regulation with mindfulness skills. Participants: Participants were 24 undergraduates (aged 18–29) with significant emotion dysregulation who participated between February and May of 2010, 2011, and 2012. Methods: Participants participated in 2-hour weekly group sessions for 8 weeks and completed outcome measures at baseline, midtreatment, posttreatment, and 4-week follow-up. Results: Participants in both conditions made significant gains, with large effect sizes, across measures of emotion regulation, affect, skills use, and functioning. There were no differences between the 2 groups, suggesting no additive benefit of mindfulness skills. Conclusions: This pilot study provides support for the acceptability and efficacy of abbreviated DBT skills training in colleges, given significant improvements, positive feedback, and low attrition. Impediments to feasibility included recruitment difficulties, particularly due to scheduling constraints.

"阴阳合德":壮族传统文化的精华——《布洛陀经诗》的性别哲学研究之二

《布洛陀经诗》虽然已超越"孤雌繁殖"的认识阶段,但却没有完全陷入男性"惟我独尊"的窠臼。其中关于男女祖神并尊的唱颂,以及对妇女地位和作用的某种肯定,都在一定程度上体现了壮族性别哲学的精髓。这些思想是我们在寻求性别和谐发展之道时可以借鉴的。     

论回族对国家的新贡献

为祖国作出过重大历史贡献的回族在新时期也应该而且能够为祖国作出新的贡献,这些新贡献主要包括三个方面:一是文化上结构性的贡献如义利统一、理欲平衡、公私兼顾;二是经济上的贡献如多元并举的产业理念、市场伦理;三是政治上的贡献如和谐理念和协商政治等等。     

宗教应对:少数民族压力应对研究的新视角

宗教与应对密切相关,当宗教的行为和思想用于压力应对时,这样的应对便称为宗教应对。文中对宗教应对的内涵、宗教对我国少数民族压力应对的影响进行了阐述,指出宗教应对是少数民族压力应对的一种特殊方式,包括宗教行为应对和宗教思想应对。研究少数民族宗教应对具有重要的现实意义。     

彝、汉文献所见之彝族认同问题——兼与郝瑞教授对话

通过对相关彝、汉历史文献的分析,结合田野资料,从主位的角度,考察了彝族的族类自称、族源、世系的自我认识,是否属同一群人的自我界定,族内婚意义上的联姻情况等,以此表明,民族识别以前,在今天被划定为彝族的人群中,在较大范围内应当存在着族群意义上的认同.     

蒙藏关系下的文化变迁和民族认同——以青海省河南蒙古族为例

青海省河南蒙古族与藏族交错而居,两个民族长期相互接触,由于族体规模上的差异和自然条件的原因,在文化传播中主要表现为蒙古族对藏族文化的采借和适应,以致从外部特征似难将当地蒙古族从藏族中分辨出来。但细加考察,蒙古族的客观认同和主观心理归属感仍然清晰可见。在融洽的民族关系中,蒙藏之间仍然保持着融而未合、和而未同的特点。     

关于族群关系、民族关系与社会关系的关系

"族群"与"民族"概念上存在着交叉关联.族群关系、民族关系都是一种社会关系,但社会关系不一定都构成民族关系,民族关系有时也不一定能够准确地表述特殊的社会关系,族群关系却可以化解民族关系表述的"潜在危机".族群关系、民族关系与社会关系的关系具有多向性、非对称性和动态性的特点.
