Group Work Research (Pocket Guide to Social Work Research Methods)
by Charles Garvin Richard Tolman Mark MacgowanGroup Work Research is an essential resource for anyone seeking to conduct research on groups or develop empirically based group work practices. It illustrates how to plan and conduct group work research, including studies of the impact of groups on individual members, group conditions (e.g. cohesiveness, roles, processes, structures), and other systems external to the group. Furthermore, it will walk the reader through the process of conducting group work research, from formulating the research problem to selecting a design, measuring variables, and disseminating the findings. The authors also discuss considerations when the purpose of the research is an evaluation of a group work program.

Guide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans
by Lorraine T. Benuto Brian D. LeanyThe movements toward cultural sensitivity and evidence-based practice are watershed developments in clinical psychology. As a population with a long history of substandard treatment from mental health systems, African Americans have especially benefitted from these improvements. But as with other racial and ethnic minorities, finding relevant test measures in most psychological domains presents clinicians with an ongoing challenge. The Guide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans aims to close the evaluation/therapy gap by giving practitioners the tools to choose appropriate instruments while respecting client individuality. Expert contributors analyze scarce and far-flung data, identify strengths and limitations of measures and norms in their use with African-American clients, and advise on avoiding biases in interpreting results. The editors advocate for a theory-based hypothesis-testing approach to assessment when empirical evidence is lacking, and offer guidelines for decision-making that is effective as well as ethnically aware. The Guide's findings, insights, and practical information cover the gamut of test and diagnostic areas, including: IQ and personality.Generalized anxiety disorder, panic, and phobias.Neuropsychological assessment, cognitive decline, and dementia.Mood disorders and suicidality.Forensic assessment, risk, and recidivism.Measures specific to children and adolescents.Plus PTSD, substance disorders, eating pathology, and more. Expertly complementing cross-cultural treatment texts, the Guide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans stands out as a trustworthy resource for treatment planning useful to clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and clinical social workers.

Gute Hochschullehre: Wie man Vorlesungen, Seminare und Projekte effektiv gestaltet
by Michael Schneider Maida MustafićWie man Vorlesungen, Seminare und Projekte effektiv gestaltet Hochschuldidaktik ist ein schwammiges Forschungsfeld ohne klare Befunde? Bei fachlich kompetenten Dozierenden ist die Lehrmethode unwichtig? Hochschulen brauchen eine völlig neue Lehrkultur? – Nichts davon ist wahr. Unbemerkt von den meisten Lehrenden ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten ein erfolgreiches internationales Forschungsfeld entstanden, in dem Fragen der Gestaltung effektiver Hochschullehre mit den Methoden der empirischen Lehr- und Lernforschung untersucht werden. Mit Hilfe quantitativ-empirischer Experimente werden Kausaleinflüsse auf den Lernerfolg Studierender identifiziert. Als entscheidend erwies sich dabei, wie Dozierende Vorlesungen, Seminar und Projekte im Detail gestalten und welche Denkprozesse dies in den Köpfen der Studierenden jeweils auslöst. In Metaanalysen über Einzelstudien wurden zahlreiche Gestaltungsprinzipien gefunden, die unabhängig von Hochschultyp und Studienfach den Lernerfolg erhöhen. Das vorliegende Buch gibt Dozierenden einen prägnanten und handlungsorientierten Überblick über empirisch gut belegte Gestaltungsprinzipien effektiver Lehre. Es richtet sich an junge ebenso wie an bereits erfahrene Dozierende. Die Kapitel gehen ein auf die Themenfelder Vorlesung, Seminar, Projekt, PowerPoint-Präsentation, Prüfung und Lehrevaluation. Ergänzende Interviews mit Lehrpreisträgern illustrieren in jedem Kapitel Möglichkeiten und vermeidbare Fallstricke bei der praktischen Umsetzung.
HabitusAnalysis 1: Epistemology and Language
by Heinrich Wilhelm SchäferThis book is the first of three volumes of HabitusAnalysis that take the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu as a starting point to develop a methodical approach to the habitus of social actors. However, the concept of habitus and Bourdieu’s approach to language are somewhat disputed while his relationist epistemology is seldom paid tribute to. The present volume therefore in its first part deals with Bourdieu’s roots in relationist Neo-Kantian philosophy, the basic traits of his relationist sociology. The second part examines Bourdieu’s theoretical and empirical work on language before elaborating its own praxeological concept of language use that opens the road to a methodically and theoretically sound reconstruction of the habitus of social actors. In the second volume of HabitusAnalysis we will carefully re-read Bourdieu’s theory in order to develop a disposition-based theory of the habitus that emphasizes the creative potential of the linkage between mental orientations and socio-structural processes, classification and classes, as well as dispositions and positions. The method presented in the third volume will facilitate a detailed empirical analysis of the creative transformations operated by the habitus in relation with the social structures of domination and the dynamics of social differentiation.
Hallelujah – The story of a musical genius and the city that brought his masterpiece to life: George Frideric Handel’s Messiah in Dublin
by Jonathan Bardon18 November, 1741. George Frideric Handel, one of the world’s greatest composers, arrives in Dublin – the second city of the Empire – to prepare his masterpiece, Messiah, for its maiden performance the following spring …In Hallelujah, Jonathan Bardon, one of Ireland’s leading historians, explores the remarkable circumstances surrounding the first performance of Handel’s now iconic oratorio in Dublin, providing a panoramic view of a city in flux – at once struggling to contain the chaos unleashed by the catastrophic famine of the preceding year while striving to become a vibrant centre of European culture and commerce.Brimming with drama, curiosity and intrigue, and populated by an unforgettable cast of characters, Hallelujah tells of how one charitable performance wove itself into the fabric of Ireland’s capital, changing the course of musical history and the lives of those who called the city home.
Hallyu 2.0: The Korean Wave in the Age of Social Media (Perspectives On Contemporary Korea)
by Sangjoon Lee Abé Markus NornesCollectively known as Hallyu, Korean music, television programs, films, online games, and comics enjoy global popularity, thanks to new communication technologies. In recent years, Korean popular culture has also become the subject of academic inquiry. Whereas the Hallyu’s impact on Korea’s national image and domestic economy, as well as on transnational cultural flows, have received much scholarly attention, there has been little discussion of the role of social media in Hallyu’s propagation. Contributors to Hallyu 2.0: The Korean Wave in the Age of Social Media explore the ways in which Korean popular cultural products are shared by audiences around the globe; how they generate new fans, markets, and consumers through social media networks; and how scholars can analyze, interpret, and envision the future of this unprecedented cultural phenomenon.
Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists during the Great Depression (Fred W. Morrison Series In Southern Studies)
by Robin D. KelleyA groundbreaking contribution to the history of the "long Civil Rights movement," Hammer and Hoe tells the story of how, during the 1930s and 40s, Communists took on Alabama's repressive, racist police state to fight for economic justice, civil and political rights, and racial equality. The Alabama Communist Party was made up of working people without a Euro-American radical political tradition: devoutly religious and semiliterate black laborers and sharecroppers, and a handful of whites, including unemployed industrial workers, housewives, youth, and renegade liberals. In this book, Robin D. G. Kelley reveals how the experiences and identities of these people from Alabama's farms, factories, mines, kitchens, and city streets shaped the Party's tactics and unique political culture. The result was a remarkably resilient movement forged in a racist world that had little tolerance for radicals.After discussing the book's origins and impact in a new preface written for this twenty-fifth-anniversary edition, Kelley reflects on what a militantly antiracist, radical movement in the heart of Dixie might teach contemporary social movements confronting rampant inequality, police violence, mass incarceration, and neoliberalism.
