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.     

博弈论视角下的征地实践：基于鄂中L村的考察

基于对既有征地研究中政治抗争视角以及批判我国当前土地制度视角的反思,研究发现,需要将国家征地行为置于村庄之中,实现征地情境的还原,揭示征地本身的复杂性、所牵涉征地主体及其利益诉求的多样性,才能整体和客观理解征地纠纷和冲突产生的实质。通过对鄂中L村征地实践过程的详细展现和考察,发现征地纠纷主要是村庄内部各主体针对征地利益博弈的结果,与抗争政治视角中农民的利益或权利受损无关,也与当前我国土地制度（包括征地制度）所隐含的土地发展权国有的规定无关。村民在利益博弈过程中,因博弈能力的差异造成了村庄利益分配秩序的失衡,引发了村庄公共资源分配失序、村庄社会关系紧张、村庄历史遗留问题被激活等社会后果,侵蚀着村级组织的合法性。     

晚清的内忧外患与日本近代化

晚清遭受西方殖民主义的屡次侵略而渐次沉沦,内部又爆发大规模的农民起义,可谓内忧外患。这向尚处锁国状态的近邻日本频频发出强烈警报,使其获得改弦更张、积极面对列强来袭的启示,并断然走上开国、倒幕、维新的近代化之路。     

Addiction science and the perception of freewill

Do people think individuals with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) have freewill? How does addiction science inform views on the issue? We distinguish between two senses of freewill: 1) libertarian freewill , in which freedom turns on a particular metaphysical conception of action (sometimes operationalized as “could have done otherwise”), and 2) compatibilist freewill , in which freedom depends on the relation between the actor's psychology and her actions (e.g., “was the act what she wanted to do?”). We argue that, in different ways, scientific accounts can impact conceived freewill by linking addictive behavior to mechanisms that observers view as peripheral to the actor ( motivation modularity) . While a variety of impacts on conceived compatibilist freewill are plausible, we argue that contemporary addiction science has no direct bearing on conceived libertarian freewill. Addiction science may, however, indirectly impact conceived libertarian freewill by priming an explanatory framework in which intention is superfluous (especially materialism).     

Deaths of people with serious mental disorder: An exploration of deaths in custody and fatal police contacts

People with serious mental disorders (PSMDs) are overrepresented both in prison deaths and during fatal encounters with the police in the community (deaths after police contact, DAPC). To identify common factors present across cases of who died during contact with the criminal justice system in Queensland, publicly available coroners reports were analysed (N = 38). The findings of the study indicated psychosis and mood disorders were the most common diagnosis in incarcerated PSMD deaths, and suicide was the most common cause of death for incarcerated PSMDs. Within incarcerated settings, access to healthcare records, medication compliance, risk assessment and monitoring, and safe housing of at‐risk prisoners may be potential areas to explore with regard to prevention. Similarly, PSMD DAPCs were more likely to be experiencing mood or psychosis disorders than other forms of mental disorder, and suicide and police shootings were the most common causes of death. In PSMD DAPC, inadequate mental health access, treatment noncompliance and comorbid substance use were included as potential areas that could direct research efforts toward prevention.     

熵理论与和谐社会

熵理论揭示了任何事物和过程都是有序和无序的辩证统一,人类社会的发展也是有序和无序的辩证统一。构建和谐社会的实质就是克服无序(不和谐)、创建有序(和谐),实现安定有序。这是建设中国特色社会主义的重大任务。     

灾疫伦理视域中的气候伦理刍议

伴随全球化进程而出现的灾疫失律,意味着灾疫问题因人类活动的干扰而日益成为一种支配性的内部风险。灾疫失律的一个重要成因,是因人力干扰而造成的包括全球变暖在内的气候危机。不同路径的灾疫伦理研究,可能为气候危机的伦理学考量提供一定的思维契机。灾疫伦理学的生态理性思想,为气候伦理研究提供了一种生态整体视角;气候治理的目标指向,在于创建具有生境化特征的生态文明;气候治理的具体路径,在于践行一种可持续生存式发展的伦理思路。     

大学生网络成瘾行为调查及干预研究

网络成瘾这一现象越来越受到心理学界的关注.通过充分调查大学生网络成瘾行为现状后发现:上网时间、网络的可获得性、网络的使用功能等与网络成瘾有密切的关系,人格特质、社交需要、从众心理等方面是网络成瘾的重要影响因素,对大学生网络成瘾的不同程度应该实施不同的干预措施.     

我国城镇化进程中家庭、学校与社会教育关系的失序与消解

农村教育承担着促进“人的城镇化”之重任,需通过横向互补和纵向有序的共谐结构体系来保障。农村城镇化进程中家庭、学校及社会教育处于一种“失序”状态,其结构功能、目的意识呈现出萎缩与非自觉,造成农村中小学生学习过程“压迫”、农村社会成员生命生活“物化”、农村传统文化精神价值颓废等危害。为消除这些危害,提升城镇化进程中农村教育的效益性,有必要采取分合位育：注重农村家庭、学校、社会教育结构的互补性;以人为本：凸显农村家庭、学校、社会教育实践的人性化;上下结合：加强农村家庭、学校、社会教育改革的草根化等策略措施。     

复杂性:包含于组织中的无序——对复杂性本质的一种解读

复杂性源于包含于组织中的无序。包含于组织中的无序不仅组织着组织,而且导致了组织的复杂性。无序只有包含于组织中才能够导致复杂性,组织外的无序对组织的复杂性产生影响,但它不能导致组织的复杂性,只有被组织吸收,成为组织内的无序,才能构成复杂性。复杂性的所有性质都因包含于组织中的无序而产生。没有无序,组织就没有偶然性、随机性、多样性和非线性等性质,就不可能出现扰动、涨落、涌现和分岔等现象,就不能突变和进化。复杂性是包含于组织中的无序,或者说包含于组织中的无序就是复杂性。
