Foundations of Multimethod Research - Albert D. Hunter - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Foundations of Multimethod Research - Albert D. Hunter - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Drawing from authors John Brewer and Albert Hunter’s original work published in 1989, when single method research was the standard, this new text offers an explanation of how a planned synthesis of various research techniques such as fieldwork, surveys, experiments, and nonreactive studies can be purposely used to improve social science knowledge. Foundations of Multimethod Research: Synthesizing Styles explores the many aspects of the multimethod research approach, including the formulation of research problems, data collection, sampling and generalization, measurement, reliability and validity, hyposthesis testing and causal analysis, and writing and publicizing results. Key Features: - - Provides a history of multimethod research as a post-positivist approach to give an accurate understanding of the emergence of this technique - - Compares and contrasts the major primary research methods to help students determine which multiple methods are suitable for their own research - - Addresses the post-modern critique of science and reviews how it has been articulated recently to examine how it is evaluated today - - Includes examples of research designs from academic journals so that students can see how formal results are written - This book is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate research methods courses across the social and behavioral sciences. It is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a better conceptual understanding of how to do social and behavioral science research more effectively. "This is a book I wish I had written. Although nearly every page contains an interesting methodological insight, it’s the synthesizing nature of the multimethod perspective that I find most satisfying. Instead of a patchwork of precepts and procedures, Professors Brewer and Hunter present a coherent synthesis of the principal quantitative and qualitative research styles." -- Kenneth O. Doyle, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities "This is a superb resource for anyone undertaking research in the social sciences. Going beyond simple descriptions of how to use each of the individual methods, Brewer and Hunter provide compelling arguments for systematically synthesizing different research styles at each stage of the research process. In doing so, they help us to see social science research as both an art and a science. By focusing our attention on how a multimethod approach can enhance each stage of the research, they avoid the simplistic dichotomy between qualitative and quantitative research and provide us with a much more sophisticated way of looking at the multimethod approach." -- Sue R. Faerman, University at Albany-SUNY

Child Survivors and Perpetrators of Sexual Abuse - Michael G. Hunter - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Child Survivors and Perpetrators of Sexual Abuse - Michael G. Hunter - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

If you′re looking for new and innovative ways of working with survivors of child and adolescent sexual abuse--or child/juvenile perpetrators of sexual abuse--then look no further. Mic Hunter and a talented team of professionals begin by offering concise, practical discussions on topics related to survivors, including managing self-regulation disorders in sexually abused boys, treating ritual abuse survivors, and inpatient treatment of adolescent survivors of sexual abuse. Next, the contributors focus on treating the child/juvenile offender, examining such issues as treating abuse reactive children, parallel treatment for parents of abuse reactive children, societal responses to sexually aggressive children, and identifying and responding to juvenile sexual abuse offenders. For each issue examined, contributors offer concrete directions for intervention. Written both for practitioners and advanced clinical students, this accessibly written volume will serve as a valuable resource. "This book is like going to a conference and getting all the best presentations. . . . Models a nice concrete technique for use with a problem population." --Sandra K. Hewitt, Ph.D., Private Practice, Edina, Minnesota "This excellent short paperback contains well-written, well-referenced chapters by leading figures in the field of child abuse and neglect, covering an ambitious range of topics involving child survivors as well as children who sexually abuse other children. This small book is a timely and important addition to the sexual abuse literature, and will be of particular interest to those professionals working with children and young people who show sexually coercive or abusing behaviour towards other children." --Eileen Vizard in Young Minds Newsletter "The book is subtitled "treatment innovations" and this sets the tone for its whole approach. This is a readable and practical book written for clinicians, and is obviously based on much solid clinical experience. The chapter on ritual abuse is particularly good, being both readable and thought provoking. It is a very thorough examination of the difficulties which can arise in working with severely abused people, and tackles very realistically the potential risks for both client and therapist, when working with very damaged individuals. The thorny issues surrounding the validity of recovered memories are also tackled extremely well. Overall the book is an excellent review of current understanding and treatment of sexually abused children and adolescents. However, clinicians working with adult survivors of abuse will also find much that is useful in the book." --Carol Sellars in Clinical Psychology Forum

Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Small Business - Simon Down - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

`A thoughtful and reflective account of "enterprise", offering meaningful and contextualized knowledge to students at all levels, written in a style that is as engaging as it is informative – and peppered with unobtrusive dry wit′ - Professor Sara Carter, OBE, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, University of Strathclyde Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Small Business is an exciting new text for all students of business. Broad and inquisitive in its intellectual outlook, this provocative but accessible textbook covers core themes and topics in the study of enterprise, as well as looking at subjects that are often ignored, from criminal entrepreneurs and the demise of Enron, to ′entre-tainment′ and ethnic and indigenous entrepreneurship. Along the way, the reader will find an interactive exploration not only of the processes of entrepreneuring, of managing small enterprises, or of the implications of working in an entrepreneurial corporation - he or she will also be challenged to consider enterprise in its social, economic, political and moral contexts. This textbook moves beyond the narrow, prescriptive focus on the ′how′ employed by other textbooks, and places equal emphasis on the ′why′ - all the time considering the role of enterprise, entrepreneurship and small business in the world we live in. Supported by lively case studies, real-life examples and a concept guide of key terms, this text is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students on any course with an emphasis on enterprise and entrepreneurship.

The Ethical Use of Touch in Psychotherapy - Jim Struve - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Ethical Use of Touch in Psychotherapy - Jim Struve - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Is ethical touch an oxymoron? Is the bias against touch in psychotherapy justified? Can the recovery process be complete without healing touch? Mental health professionals are entrusted with the awesome responsibility of providing appropriate treatment for clients in a safe environment that nurtures trust, a necessary ingredient for optimum movement through the therapeutic process. Though treatment approaches vary, most modalities are verbally based and, in theory, exclude physical contact. Fearing that any form of touch would likely lead to sexual feelings or interaction, clinicians tend to shy away from the topic. In The Ethical Use of Touch in Psychotherapy, however, authors Mic Hunter and Jim Struve skillfully demonstrate that touch--a most basic human need--is intrinsic to the healing process along with talk-therapy, regardless of the practitioner′s theoretical orientation. While the use of touch is a given in other health care settings, it remains a benefit denied as taboo in psychotherapeutic relationships, due to transgressors whose unscrupulous use of a valuable technique have marred its reputation. This book encourages readers to conduct a meaningful self-reflection and explore possible misconceptions related to touch in order to rejuvenate its acceptance. Based on years of sound research and clinical experience, The Ethical Use of Touch in Psychotherapy promises to enrich clinical discussion and stimulate further empirical research. This insightful and progressive presentation is a must read for clinicians, interns, and advanced students, as well as lay readers interested in the dynamics and innovations in psychotherapy.

Read Stories of Transformative Leadership in the Human Services and engage as an organizational team in their activities instead. You, your staff and the culture of the organization will be transformed. As Ghandi said, "Be the change you want to see.′ The paradigm that Burghardt and Tolliver introduce will have you do just that." —Claudette C′Faison, Cofounder and President of NY Youth at Risk, Inc. Certain to excite and inspire both students entering the human services field and seasoned non-profit professionals, Stories of Transformative Leadership in the Human Services: Why the Glass Is Always Full is the first full-length leadership book to focus on the unique challenges of the public and non-profit executive, manager, and educator. Written in a lively story-telling style, the book develops a leadership model for those who inspire without bonuses and seek a powerful legacy through people′s lives. Authors Steve Burghardt and Willie Tolliver convey the stories of two social service agencies struggling to survive in a world of shrinking budgets, increasing needs, and lack of resources. While both agencies are run by hard-working managers, one is in constant crisis mode (racial tensions that simmer and boil over; professionals who end up exhausted and overeating after a crisis-filled day . . . every day), while the other, operating with no greater resources, lacks tension and turmoil as its managers respond to similar demands and client needs. Using real-life vignettes drawn from actual experiences, the stories distill important lessons and unfold in a powerful manner that will resonate with any professional asked to work harder . . . with a smaller budget. Questions woven through each story connect to the book′s more theoretical material on leadership, personal mastery, and community-building. Steve Burghardt , MSW, PhD, and Willie Tolliver , MSW, DSW, are professor and associate professor of Social Work at the City University of New York (CUNY)—Hunter College School of Social Work and partners in the Leadership Transformation Group, LLC.
