Up-to-date information on successfully assessing children and adolescents in clinical settings This book showcases state-of-the-art assessment methods, instruments, and processes in the clinical assessment of children and adolescents. Written by leading experts, the book highlights skills and specific procedures that are relevant and distinctive for the assessment of different age groups and in different contexts so that professionals can plan interventions effectively. After an introduction to the basic concepts and approaches to the clinical assessment of children and adolescents, four further sections explore the diagnosis of psychological problems, the conceptualization of clinical problems and interventions, the assessment of intervention progress and outcomes, and the assessment of specific groups and in special contexts. The contributions are full of practical examples to address issues such as clinical judgement and bias, results integration, multi-informant data collection, and incremental validity.
The Sociology of Education: A Systematic Analysis is a comprehensive and cross-cultural look at the sociology of education. This textbook gives a sociological analysis of education by incorporating a diverse set of theoretical approaches. The authors include practical applications and current educational issues to discuss the structure and processes that make education systems work as well as the role sociologists play in both understanding and bring about change. In addition to up-to-date examples and research, the eighth edition presents three chapters on inequality in educational access and experiences, where class, race and ethnicity, and gender are presented as separate (though intersecting) vectors of educational inequality. Each chapter combines qualitative and quantitative approaches and relevant theory; classics and emerging research; and micro- and macro-level perspectives.
The ninth edition of The Sociology of Education examines the field in rare breadth by incorporating a diverse range of theoretical approaches and a distinct sociological lens in its overview of education and schooling. Education is changing rapidly, just as the social forces outside of schools are, and to present the material in a meaningful way, the authors of this book provide a unifying framework—an open systems approach—to illustrate how the issues and structures we find in education are all interconnected. Separate chapters are devoted to how schools help shape who has access to educational opportunities and who does not; issues of race, class and gender; the organization of schools...
Psicopatología de la violencia: repercusiones forenses es una buena muestra de la complejidad individuo/cultura que configura al ser humano, y de su necesaria interacción en la explicación del crimen y la violencia. Desde la neurociencia y la neurobiología hasta los parámetros sociales y culturales que crean una tierra de violencia y de silencio, desde la conciencia hasta la pugna en el foro de los tribunales. Aquí no se leerán relatos de extrema violencia, sino que se encontrarán propuestas para responder ¿dónde comienza la violencia? ¿dónde están sus límites? a partir de una premisa clara: no somos violentos por naturaleza. Porque no sólo importa lo que sabemos del crimen si...
The obrajes, or native textile manufactories, were primary agents of developing capitalism in colonial Mexico. Drawing on previously unknown or unexplored archival sources, Richard Salvucci uses standard economic theory and simple measurement to analyze the obraje and its inability to survive Mexico's integration into the world market after 1790.
