Assessments and Measures in Psychotherapy Research: Going Beyond Self-Report Data
Tailoring the treatment to the individual patient can improve the effectiveness of psychotherapy. To do so, the treatment or strategy with the best prognosis for the individual patient can be selected at the beginning of therapy. Furthermore, the therapeutic approach can be adapted during the course of treatment. To support the therapist in such decisions, prediction algorithms are used, which are able to process complex and comprehensive data (precision mental health). Statistical methods used in psychotherapy research to analyze data and develop predictive models have recently become more advanced. However, algorithms cannot do better than what the underlying data provide them in terms of information. Therefore, our predictions and recommendations could benefit from a broader range of data beyond the traditional patient- or therapist-rated questionnaires.
René Girard, Theology, and Pop Culture
In René Girard, Theology, and Popular Culture, fifteen contributors consider how Girard’s mimetic theory can be used to uncover and probe the theological depths of popular culture. Creative and critical engagement with Girard’s theory enables the contributors to offer fresh and exciting interpretations of movies (The Devil Wears Prada, Mean Girls, Star Wars), television (Hoarders, Cobra Kai), classical literature and graphic novels, and issues ranging from anorexia to social media. The result is a volume that establishes Girard as an innovative interpreter of culture and shows him as an invaluable guide for theologically reflecting on desire, violence, redemption, and forgiveness. Written in fresh and lively prose, the contributors demonstrate not only that Girard provides a powerful lens through which to view culture but also—and more provocatively—challenge readers to consider what popular culture reveals about them. Readers looking for an accessible introduction to mimetic theory and exploring its theological application will find this a welcome resource.

Curating as Feminist Organizing
What makes curating feminist organizing? How do curators relate to contemporary feminist concerns in their local conditions and the globalized artworld? The book brings together twenty curatorial case studies from diverse regions of the globe. Reflecting their own curatorial projects or analyzing feminist-inspired exhibitions, the authors in this book elaborate feminist curating as that which is inspired to challenge gender politics not only within but also beyond the doors of the museum and gallery. Connecting their wider feminist politics to their curatorial practices, the book provides case studies of curatorial practice that address the legacies of racialized and ethnic violence, includi...
