Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Bipolar Disorder: Implications for Clinical Social Workers

ABSTRACT

The purposes of this review article are to orient clinical social workers to cognitive-behavioral theory, intervention, and research on bipolar disorder (BD); identify pros and cons of applying cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to social work clients with BD; and identify specific implications for clinical social work practice. Of the 545 articles that were obtained via the systematic review, 18 studies were identified as being potentially eligible for inclusion, and 9 of those studies ultimately satisfied the inclusion criteria. The results of each study were summarized via identifying statistically significant (p< .05) differences that existed between experimental cohorts who received CBT (plus pharmacotherapy) and control cohorts who received treatment as usual. Outcomes showed CBT cohorts as having significant improvement over their respective control groups. The review's implications for clinical social workers and the need for future research are discussed.     

试论民族地区数字图书馆建设的意义

"兴边富民行动"的意义

兴边富民行动是根据党中央的精神,为配合西部大开发战略,加快边境地区经济社会发展,由国家民委倡导发起的、于2000年初启动的一项边境开发工程。兴边富民行动得到了党中央、国务院的高度重视和充分肯定。兴边富民行动成就喜人,已成为边境地区经济社会发展的加速器和催化剂。兴边富民行动,对于富民、兴边、强国、睦邻,巩固祖国的万里边疆,具有非常重要的意义。     

信仰变异与民族特征--卡力岗回族民族特征浅议

化隆卡力岗山区的藏族由于改奉了伊斯兰教而随了回族,因此其民族特征发生了根本性的交化,使他们重新确立了以伊斯兰文化为主导的价值取向和终极目标,形成了新的思维方式、行为规范、生活方式和风俗习惯,支撑着这个民族生活大厦的过去、现在和未来,而伊斯兰文化则成为他们赖以共同奋斗的精神纽带。     

Randomization tests in recursive response-adaptive randomization procedures

In a randomized clinical trial, response-adaptive randomization procedures use the information gathered, including the previous patients' responses, to allocate the next patient. In this setting, we consider randomization-based inference. We provide an algorithm to obtain exact p-values for statistical tests that compare two treatments with dichotomous responses. This algorithm can be applied to a family of response adaptive randomization procedures which share the following property: the distribution of the allocation rule depends only on the imbalance between treatments and on the imbalance between successes for treatments 1 and 2 in the previous step. This family includes some outstanding response adaptive randomization procedures. We study a randomization test to contrast the null hypothesis of equivalence of treatments and we show that this test has a similar performance to that of its parametric counterpart. Besides, we study the effect of a covariate in the inferential process. First, we obtain a parametric test, constructed assuming a logit model which relates responses to treatments and covariate levels, and we give conditions that guarantee its asymptotic normality. Finally, we show that the randomization test, which is free of model specification, performs as well as the parametric test that takes the covariate into account.     

闻一多著作的版本演变和全集成型

闻一多作为中国现代诗人和现代学者,在现代文化史上留下了丰富的文本文献,其著作的出版经过了一个漫长的过程,其版本的演变比较复杂,全集的出版经历了从旧版到新版的演变。《闻一多全集》的编印具有多方面的价值,不仅有过鲜明的政治意义,尤其具有丰富的文化意义,即在中国现代文学史和现代学术史以及中国现代知识分子的精神变迁史方面的"标本"意义。     

试论文学生产方式理论

西方马克思主义美学家坚持经济基础对文学的影响。本雅明从艺术的生产力和艺术生产关系的矛盾入手,开创了艺术生产理论的先河;伊格尔顿提出了文学生产方式理论,认为文学艺术是意识形态的再生产;马歇雷认为文学和意识形态的缝隙透视出文学的意蕴。发展文学生产方式理论,对当代中国的文艺实践有重要的价值和意义。     

茶道"四谛"略议

在中国,佛教与茶结缘甚早,禅宗兴盛以后,更形成了"茶禅一味"的佳构,为茶道形成奠定了基础.中国茶道重自然,轻礼法;重精神,轻形式;日本茶圣千利休总结出"和、敬、清、寂"的 "茶道四谛",促进了独具特色的日本茶道的形成.韩国茶礼亦有"四谛",略近于日本茶道精神.近年来,海峡两岸学者致力于总结具有华夏特色的"茶道四谛".诸家"四谛"之说,如出于开悟众生的方便,亦无不可,若要从中拣择,定出一尊,便索然无味,有违禅宗精神.     

内部控制环境理论研究

控制环境是内部控制框架的重要组成部分,它是在基于对内部控制局限充分认识的基础上逐步提出,并随着内部控制实践和研究的深入而不断发展的.控制环境理论研究主要包括控制环境范围、要素、及其在内部控制中的作用,以及内部控制中"人"与"制度"的互动关系等方面的内容.重视控制环境理论研究,对更新内部控制观念、统一内部控制标准以及从控制环境着手强化内部控制建设等,都具有十分重要的现实意义.
