Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology A Practical Guide

Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology A Practical Guide

Single-Case Methods in Clinical Psychology: A Practical Guide provides a concise and easily-accessible introduction to single-case research. This is a timely response to the increasing awareness of the need to look beyond randomised controlled trials for evidence to support best practice in applied psychology. The book covers the issues of design the reliability and validity of measurement and provides guidance on how to analyse single-case data using both visual and statistical methods. Single-case designs can be used to investigate an individual’s response to psychological intervention as well as to contribute to larger scale research projects. This book illuminates the common principles behind these uses. It describes how standardised measures can be used to evaluate change in an individual and how to develop idiographic measures that are tailored to the needs of an individual. The issue of replication and generalising beyond an individual are examined and the book also includes a section on the meta-analysis of single-case data. The critical evaluation of single-case research is examined from both the perspective of developing quality standards to evaluate research and maintaining a critical distance in reviewing one’s own work. Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology will provide invaluable guidance to postgraduate psychologists training to enter the professions of clinical health and counselling psychology and is likely to become a core text on many courses. It will also appeal to clinicians seeking to answer questions about the effectiveness of therapy in individual cases and who wish to use the method to further the evidence-base for specific psychological interventions. | Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology A Practical Guide

Speaking With a Single Voice The EU as an effective actor in global governance?

Speaking With a Single Voice The EU as an effective actor in global governance?

Under what conditions does the internal cohesiveness of the European Union determine its external effectiveness on the world stage? This book asks this question investigating the frequent political assumption that the more cohesive the EU presents itself to the world the more effective it is in achieving its goals. Contributions to this book explore this theory from a range of perspectives from trade to foreign policy and highlight complex patterns between internal cohesiveness and external effectiveness. These are simplified into three possible configurations: internal cohesiveness has a positive impact on external effectiveness; internal cohesiveness has no impact on external effectiveness; and internal cohesiveness has a negative impact on external effectiveness. The international context in which the EU operates which includes the bargaining configuration and the policy arena functions as an intervening variable that helps us to explain variation in these causal links. The book also launches a research agenda aimed at explaining these patterns more systematically and determining the marginal impact of cohesiveness on effectiveness. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy. | Speaking With a Single Voice The EU as an effective actor in global governance?

Understanding the Adult Learner Perspectives and Practices

Understanding the Adult Learner Perspectives and Practices

Adults seek out learning for very different reasons in different contexts and this book is intended to support adult educators’ development in responding to this rich array. There is no single way to be an adult learner and so it should not be surprising that there is no single way to be an adult educator. However the authors believe that all educators must demonstrate a commitment to meeting adult learners where they are. Adult educators should help learners move forward not only with new content knowledge information and skills but also with new ways of making meaning and seeing themselves their role and the world. This volume introduces many theories and concepts that can help adult educators do this effectively. | Understanding the Adult Learner Perspectives and Practices

Transaction and Hierarchy Elements for a Theory of Caste

Transaction and Hierarchy Elements for a Theory of Caste

In this volume the author challenges a number of widely held cultural stereotypes about India. Caste is not as old as Indian civilization itself and current changes are no more radical than in the past for caste has evolved throughout its history. It is not a colonial invention nor does it result from weak state control. There is no single form of Indian kingship and power relations fundamental as they are for understanding Indian society. Nor do Indian villages conform to a single type and caste is as much urban as rural. Only in a regional ‘local’ perspective can we view it as a ‘system’. Caste does offer space for the individual though in a particular Indian mould and Hinduism does not provide for an integration of castes through ritual. In short social organization varies widely in India and cannot provide the key to the specificity of caste. This must be sought in the way society is imagined the models of society current in Indian thought. Of course as mentioned above there is no single model: Brahmins kings and merchants among others have all produced alternative models with themselves at the centre vying for hegemony while facing contesting models held by subalterns. Still a hierarchical mode of thought is hegemonic and largely explains why Indians see their social stratification differently from people in the West. The volume will be indispensable for scholars of South Asian Sociology and Culture. | Transaction and Hierarchy Elements for a Theory of Caste

Playbooks and their Readers in Early Modern England

Playbooks and their Readers in Early Modern England

This book is the first comprehensive examination of commercial drama as a reading genre in early modern England. Taking as its focus pre-Restoration printed drama’s most common format the single-play quarto playbook it interrogates what the form and content of these playbooks can tell us about who their earliest readers were why they might have wanted to read contemporary commercial drama and how they responded to the printed versions of plays that had initially been performed in the playhouses of early modern London. Focusing on professional plays printed in quarto between 1584 and 1660 the book juxtaposes the implications of material and paratextual evidence with analysis of historical traces of playreading in extant playbooks and manuscript commonplace books. In doing so it presents more detailed and nuanced conclusions than have previously been enabled by studies focused on works by one author or on a single type of evidence. | Playbooks and their Readers in Early Modern England

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature develops theological views of the natural sciences in light of the recent theological turn in science-and-religion scholarship and the ‘science-engaged theology’ movement. Centered around the Book of Nature metaphor it brings together contributions by theologians natural scientists and philosophers based in Europe and North America. They provide an exploration of complementary (and even contesting) readings of the Book of Nature particularly in light of the vexing questions that arise around essentialism and unity in the field of science and religion. Taking an experimental and open-ended approach the volume does not attempt to unify the readings into a single ‘plot’ that defines the Book of Nature still less a single ‘theology of nature’ but instead it represents a variety of hermeneutical stances. Overall the book embraces a constructive theological attitude toward the modern sciences and makes significant contributions to the research literature in science and religion. | God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science
