Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations An Integration of Theory and Practice

Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations An Integration of Theory and Practice

This newly updated and streamlined edition of Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations provides proven strategies for combating alcohol and drug addiction through group psychotherapy. The interventions discussed in the book build on a foundation of addiction as an attachment disorder rooted in the understanding of addiction as a family disease. An appreciation of group and organizational dynamics is used to address the complex experience of developmental trauma that underlies addiction. Having identified the essential theoretical underpinnings of supporting recovery from addiction in Part One the second half of the book gives a thorough nuts and bolts description of constructing a psychotherapy group and engaging productively in the successive phases of its development from initiation of treatment to termination. The book concludes with specific recommendations for group psychotherapists to increase their competence with groups deepen their appreciation of group and organizational dynamics and develop a community of support for their own well-being. These methods are important for psychotherapists working with addicted populations who are inexperienced with group psychotherapy as well as seasoned group psychotherapists wishing to enhance their work. | Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations An Integration of Theory and Practice

The Psychology of Addiction

The Psychology of Addiction

When does a harmless habit become an addition? Why do only some of us get addicted? What can make recovery possible? The Psychology of Addiction is a fascinating introduction to the psychological issues surrounding addiction and the impact they have on social policy recovery and an addict’s everyday life. The book focuses on drug and alcohol addiction and tackles topics such as whether drug use always leads to addiction and the importance of social networks to recovery. It also looks at how people can become addicted to activities like gambling gaming and sex.

Deep Learning in Time Series Analysis

Deep Learning in Time Series Analysis

Deep learning is an important element of artificial intelligence especially in applications such as image classification in which various architectures of neural network e. g. convolutional neural networks have yielded reliable results. This book introduces deep learning for time series analysis particularly for cyclic time series. It elaborates on the methods employed for time series analysis at the deep level of their architectures. Cyclic time series usually have special traits that can be employed for better classification performance. These are addressed in the book. Processing cyclic time series is also covered herein. An important factor in classifying stochastic time series is the structural risk associated with the architecture of classification methods. The book addresses and formulates structural risk and the learning capacity defined for a classification method. These formulations and the mathematical derivations will help the researchers in understanding the methods and even express their methodologies in an objective mathematical way. The book has been designed as a self-learning textbook for the readers with different backgrounds and understanding levels of machine learning including students engineers researchers and scientists of this domain. The numerous informative illustrations presented by the book will lead the readers to a deep level of understanding about the deep learning methods for time series analysis. | Deep Learning in Time Series Analysis

Time Series Modelling with Unobserved Components

Time Series Modelling with Unobserved Components

Despite the unobserved components model (UCM) having many advantages over more popular forecasting techniques based on regression analysis exponential smoothing and ARIMA the UCM is not well known among practitioners outside the academic community. Time Series Modelling with Unobserved Components rectifies this deficiency by giving a practical overview of the UCM approach covering some theoretical details several applications and the software for implementing UCMs. The book’s first part discusses introductory time series and prediction theory. Unlike most other books on time series this text includes a chapter on prediction at the beginning because the problem of predicting is not limited to the field of time series analysis. The second part introduces the UCM the state space form and related algorithms. It also provides practical modeling strategies to build and select the UCM that best fits the needs of time series analysts. The third part presents real-world applications with a chapter focusing on business cycle analysis and the construction of band-pass filters using UCMs. The book also reviews software packages that offer ready-to-use procedures for UCMs as well as systems popular among statisticians and econometricians that allow general estimation of models in state space form. This book demonstrates the numerous benefits of using UCMs to model time series data. UCMs are simple to specify their results are easy to visualize and communicate to non-specialists and their forecasting performance is competitive. Moreover various types of outliers can easily be identified missing values are effortlessly managed and working contemporaneously with time series observed at different frequencies poses no problem.

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level set methods are numerical techniques which offer remarkably powerful tools for understanding analyzing and computing interface motion in a host of settings. When used for medical imaging analysis and segmentation the function assigns a label to each pixel or voxel and optimality is defined based on desired imaging properties. This often includes a detection step to extract specific objects via segmentation. This allows for the segmentation and analysis problem to be formulated and solved in a principled way based on well-established mathematical theories. Level set method is a great tool for modeling time varying medical images and enhancement of numerical computations. | Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Contemporary British Television Crime Drama Cops on the Box

Contemporary British Television Crime Drama examines one of the medium’s most popular genres and places it within its historical and industrial context. The television crime drama has proved itself capable of numerous generic reinventions and continues to enjoy some of the highest viewing figures. Crime drama offers audiences stories of right and wrong moral authority asserted and resisted and professionals and criminals doing so in ways that are often highly entertaining innovative and thought provoking. In examining the appeal of this highly dynamic genre this volume explores how it responds not only to changing social debates on crime and policing but also to processes of hybridization within the television industry itself.
