Counselor Trainees' Assessment and Diagnosis of Lesbian Clients with Dysthymic Disorder

SUMMARY

Graduate-level counselor trainees completed an Assessment and Diagnostic Inventory consisting of clinical vignettes and a series of questions pertaining to conceptualization of client problem, diagnosis, and assessment of overall level of psychopathology.We hypothesized that participants would assign different diagnoses to clients with lesbian versus heterosexual sexual orientation. Participants responded to vignettes in which clients were identified as either a lesbian or a heterosexual female, with all other content identical. Participants were significantly more likely to perceive lesbian clients' problems to be related to sexual orientation for the vignette corresponding to dysthymic disorder. However, they were not more likely to assign personality disorder diagnoses, nor did they attribute a greater degree of psychopathology to lesbian clients with dysthymic disorder.     

When the Learning Disabled Go to College

Abstract

During the last decade, federal laws have provided for remedial education in elementary and secondary schools for students with learning disabilities, preparing large numbers of them for college. Federal law also mandates helping learning-disabled students with their needs once they matriculate. Declining numbers of high school graduates in the aftermath of the baby boom have made more colleges open their doors to these students. The disabilities, and the accommodations they require, arrive in college with the rest of a student's baggage, demanding attention. Colleges and universities have chosen a variety of approaches, from specific remedial programs and individual accomodations according to need to more general programs. Some colleges pretend these disabilities do not exist and seem oblivious to their presence on campus. Learning disabilities can have an impact in every class and lecture hall and can contribute to unhappiness and the college's attrition rate. On the other hand, responsive and responsible programs provide students with the resources for the same education, honors, and opportunities as their nondisabled peers.

马克思主义女权主义：概念、发展与意义

作为西方马克思主义研究中的一个主要流派，马克思主义女权主义概念的提出和运用有一定的历史背景。虽然在对待马克思主义理论方面，当代马克思主义女权主义经常是各取所需，为我所用。但在基本逻辑和特征方面有着共同性。我们要在坚持马克思主义基本原理的前提下，大胆借鉴和吸收他们所提供的对于社会主义运动和妇女运动具有开拓和指导作用的理论材料和研究观点，在新形势下更好地继承和发展马克思主义。     

Inference in Targeted Group‐Sequential Covariate‐Adjusted Randomized Clinical Trials

This article is devoted to the construction and asymptotic study of adaptive, group‐sequential, covariate‐adjusted randomized clinical trials analysed through the prism of the semiparametric methodology of targeted maximum likelihood estimation. We show how to build, as the data accrue group‐sequentially, a sampling design that targets a user‐supplied optimal covariate‐adjusted design. We also show how to carry out sound statistical inference based on such an adaptive sampling scheme (therefore extending some results known in the independent and identically distributed setting only so far), and how group‐sequential testing applies on top of it. The procedure is robust (i.e. consistent even if the working model is mis‐specified). A simulation study confirms the theoretical results and validates the conjecture that the procedure may also be efficient.     

浅谈犯罪动机

人的行为是由一定的动机支配的,而人的动机来源于人对物质和精神的需要。犯罪动机是指引起和推动犯罪人实施犯罪行为,以满足某种需要的内心起因。研究犯罪动机在我国立法和司法实践中具有十分重要的意义。     

Response to Amundson,Lux and Hindmarch: Critique of Investigative Practices Article

ABSTRACT

This article responds to a commentary by Amundson, Lux and Hindmarch (2005), in which they offer a pejorative criticism about our article (Austin & Kirkpatrick, 2004) in which we described the investigative component within comprehensive child custody evaluations–something they label as “maximalist” evaluations and contrast with a model they prefer called the “minimalist” approach. We believe our approach to custody evaluations is in keeping with the current standard of practice and professional guidelines.

学术视野中《大宅门》的“内”与“外”——对《大宅门》艺术价值及文化意义的综合透视

《大宅门》为20世纪我国的文学艺术画上了一个完整的和漂亮的句号,作为电视剧这一新兴艺术形式,《大宅门》的艺术水平,在中国电视艺术的发展史上,是具有里程碑意义的。作品中既以一个真实的家族创业与兴衰的历史过程为原型,塑造了一系列真实而生动的人物群像;又典型而全面地反映了我国2O世纪后半期的文化思潮和艺术观念。作品虽没有达到“现代《红楼梦》”那样的高度,却对21世纪艺术创造走向更高境界具有重要启示。     

试析伽达默尔《真理与方法》中的“传统”理论

“传统”是伽达默尔诠释学中一个重要的概念。他针对自文艺复兴以来崇尚理性和否定权威、传统的现象 ,重新诠释了“传统”、“权威”。他通过对理性与传统的关系、前见的合法性、理解的历史性等的分析 ,在“理性法庭”的废墟上营建了新的“传统”的理论。
