The third wave of behavioural therapies and, specifically acceptance and commitment therapy ACT , offers interesting therapeutic tools aimed at fostering the acceptance of aversive internal experiences and the commitment to personal values.
Given the chronic nature of the caregiving situation and the unchangeability of many of its elements e. Very few studies have so far analysed the efficacy of ACT or some of its components e. Assuming the need for further research in order to consider ACT as an empirically validated therapy for dementia caregivers, in this chapter we analyse, in the context of caregiving, the psychological processes highlighted in the ACT model of psychopathology, such as experiential avoidance, describing examples of them in cases of caregivers we have assisted in our clinical work, and outlining ACT-based therapeutic strategies that we have found useful on a clinical basis for modifying them.
Acceptance and mindfulness-based interventions are part of the third generation of cognitive—behavioral therapies Hayes, Among these approaches, acceptance and commitment therapy ACT and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy MBCT enjoy the greatest empirical support in the treatment and prevention of depression.
Outcome literature is more extensive for MBCT; empirical support for putative therapeutic processes specific to each appears to be stronger for ACT. Increasingly both approaches have been extended into clinical areas previously occupied by the other, with ACT being used for prevention of depression and MBCT for treatment of acute depressive symptoms. These developments have made it possible to indirectly compare their therapeutic impact and suggest shared mechanisms of action.
Randomized clinical trials in which ACT and MBCT are directly evaluated on common outcome and process variables are recommended to more fully explicate these comparisons.
The autobiographical story of Dieter is sketched here to portray his struggle to fit in the worlds of others while living in a world that is created from his luscious and profound imagination, but that is hardly possible, and mostly impossible, for others to grasp or even imagine. He is not defined by these limitations, however, even though his identity has been a burden. Instead, he believes, among many other things, in creating endless possibilities through the powers of thought, and heroically wants to share his world through poetry and writings that have not been heard or read before.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing DHH children are more at risk than hearing children for developing cognitive deficits despite universal newborn hearing screening, early intervention, early input of sign language, and pediatric cochlear implantation.
DHH children and adolescents may exhibit cognitive differences due to differences in perception and language modality. They may also experience an elevated risk of developing cognitive deficits due to periods of linguistic and cognitive deprivation and periods of chronic stress and fatigue.
This chapter describes the possible causes for cognitive deficits of DHH children and the consequences for learning, both direct because of cognitive overload and indirect because of behavior problems. Subsequently, the chapter outlines the various ways in which cognitive deficits may be accommodated through preventive measures, structured instruction, and specific interventions.
The chapter concludes that, in all areas, there is first and foremost a need for more well-constructed effect studies. At the same time, application and further evaluation of the few available well-designed interventions are highly recommended. Along with other professions, psychology engages in accreditation, a system of quality assurance to evaluate the various aspects of educating a professional psychologist. In psychology, accreditation is available for programs of study that result in the PhD and PsyD degree, for year-long internships that precede the granting of the doctoral degree, and for one or two year postdoctoral fellowships or residencies.
This chapter describes the history of accreditation, outlines the current system, documents various external influences on accreditation, and considers several challenges to be met in the future. This chapter reviews a study exploring the influence of acculturation on alcohol use disorders AUD among a sample of Mexican-origin participants residing on and off the US-Mexico border region. The purpose of this study was to: 1 determine what domains of US acculturation predict AUD; 2 determine whether retaining aspects of Mexican culture protects against AUD; 3 examine potential mediators that might explain the relationship between acculturation and AUD, including factors relevant to a stress-based model and a normative model; and 4 determine whether the relationship between acculturation measures and AUD differs by environmental contexts.
Characteristics of the border environment might exacerbate alcohol problems among more acculturated women. Findings also support a normative model of acculturation. Programs and prevention strategies at the border targeting drinking norms and motives might be particularly beneficial for women. Many college students, are susceptible to alcohol use and related problems, including Hispanic and Asian Americans.
A potential factor contributing to this risk is acculturation, which can be defined as the process of psychological, behavioral, social, and cultural change and adaptation that occurs when individuals or groups from different cultural backgrounds come in contact. This chapter provides a narrative review of the literature examining acculturation and alcohol use among these populations. One key theme to emerge from this review is that the exact direction of the association between these variables is unclear and therefore should be considered with caution.
While the existing evidence is relatively limited, gender and, to some extent, ethnic group membership appear to moderate the association between acculturation and alcohol use. Several methodological issues pertaining to the study of acculturation, future research directions, and implications for intervention and prevention are discussed.
This introductory chapter reviews current theory and research on acculturation and health and points to future directions for the field. We also propose some new ideas to help move the field forward. The chapter also lays out the structure of and goals for the book. Fundamental definitional issues regarding what acculturation is, and how it could relate to health outcomes, are covered. Despite the many health benefits of physical activity PA , the majority of Latinos do not meet recommended levels of PA.
This chapter provides an overview of research on acculturation and PA among adult Latinos in the United States. Birnbaum, Dept of Psychology,C.
