The author responds to L. I. Sank's (1997) proposal that an effective way to oppose the continuing growth of managed behavioral health care is to lodge professional ethics complaints against licensed behavioral health professionals acting as case managers. The author argues that this is not only a patently ineffective strategy, it also ignores the obvious—that no amount of effort by behavioral health professionals can turn back the clock and reimpose the fee-for-service system apparently favored by a majority of professionals in independent practice. It would behoove psychologists and other mental health professionals, then, to acknowledge the contributions of managed care to clinical and fiscal accountability as well as the problems arising from managed care models and methods of implementation. More important, they should consider what they can do to influence the shape of the service delivery systems of the future. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)  相似文献

Responds to comments by A. Smith (see record 1984-04428-001) on the present authors' (see record 1982-05864-001) discussion of recovery of function from brain damage. It is argued that current interpretations of the literature on hemispherectomy and childhood aphasia are not consistent with Smith's viewpoints on age, plasticity, and equipotentiality. An evaluation of these concepts and the issues underlying recovery of function must be based on research from normal children and a variety of brain-injured samples.

Examined whether writing about traumatic events would influence long-term measures of health as well as short-term indicators of physiological arousal and reports of negative moods in 46 introductory psychology students. Also examined were aspects of writing about traumatic events (i.e., cognitive, affective, or both) that were most related to physiological and self-report variables. Ss wrote about either personally traumatic life events or trivial topics on 4 consecutive days. In addition to health center records, physiological measures and self-reported moods and physical symptoms were collected throughout the experiment. Findings indicate that, in general, writing about both the emotions and facts surrounding a traumatic event was associated with relatively higher blood pressure and negative moods following the essays, but fewer health center visits in the 6 mo following the experiment. It is concluded that, although findings should be considered preliminary, they bear directly on issues surrounding catharsis, self-disclosure, and a general theory of psychosomatics based on behavioral inhibition.

Charges that W. Mischel (1973), in discussing the dilemmas of psychodynamic approaches, creates the illusory impression that they have clearly failed where behavioral approaches have clearly succeeded. Further documentation is provided of the differing empirical focus of research from these 2 viewpoints. Whether an integration of psychodynamic and behavioral approaches will prove fruitful remains to be seen, but the claim that current findings demonstrate the futility of such an effort is not justified.

McNeill (1985) claimed that speech and its accompanying gestures "share a common computational stage" that is located early in the speech production process. This position depends on two crucial arguments that we believe are unsound: first, that gestures "are synchronized with linguistic units in speech" and, second, that gestures "have semantic and pragmatic functions that parallel those of speech." Careful analysis of the relevant data indicated that although the processes underlying gestural production are globally autonomous, they are linked to speech production at more than just one computational stage. An account is offered that explicates these links. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)  相似文献

Suggests that J. E. Hunter and F. L. Schmidt's (see record 1979-22562-001) conclusions regarding the following 3 issues are both statistically questionable and irrelevant to practical issues involved in differential prediction: (a) the sample terms in which the present author's definitions are stated; (b) the issue of data preselection for inclusion in further analysis; and (c) the interpretation of the present author's findings of differential validity.

Our reaction to J. R. Taplin's (see record 1981-26926-001) article "Implications of General Systems Theory For Assessment and Intervention" was mixed; a little good news... a little bad news. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the way clinicians think and act with respect to the problems that clients bring to their offices must incorporate the premises of general systems theory. The great majority of the excellent articles translating systems theory into clinical practice do not appear in those American Psychological Association publications that are generally familiar to traditionally trained psychotherapists. So the good news was the appearance of an article attempting to apply general systems theory premises to traditional psychological assessment in a journal widely read by clinicians. The bad news was that Taplin, by attempting to translate systems theory into conventional, linear-causal approaches to treatment, revealed at best a partial and somewhat confused understanding of general systems theory. A translation from a linear-causal to a systems model is theoretically and pragmatically impossible. The systemic, circular model is epistemologically distinct from the linear approach. These two very different ways of thinking and understanding have separate, clear, and divergent implications for the way we understand psychopathology and the approaches available to us for treatment.

Criticizes S. Page's (see record 1989-29305-001) endorsement of the Meese pornography commission (Department of Justice, 1986), his attack on pornography researchers, and his justification of severe legal restrictions on pornography based on present research evidence. Page's suggested correlation between increased pornography and crime in North America is also critiqued. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)  相似文献

T. J. Stachnik's (see record 1980-10503-001) call for work in the area of prevention contains a naive assumption that we know what to do to prevent cancer. However, oncologists and epidemiologists involved in cancer research disagree about this very issue. Current research suggests that alterations in the tumor–host relationship, mediated at the biochemical level by endocrine or immune function and influenced by psychological response to the disease state, should not be ignored.

In reply to D. T. Lykken's (see record 1979-30044-001) review of the validity of lie detector tests and his criticisms of the present authors' (see record 1978-07412-001) survey, evidence is presented showing that control question tests of deception have an accuracy of approximately 90% in the field situation and are highly effective with both innocent and guilty Ss. Lykken's representation of the theory of lie detector tests is questioned, and the correct application of control question tests is discussed.

In a previous paper, I suggested that if an agent is a morally praiseworthy person and one of the consequences of the action she knowingly brings about is morally positive, then this consequence isn't really a side effect for the agent. Adam Feltz (see record 2008-01492-011) has recently developed a case that purportedly puts pressure on my account of side effects. In the present paper, I am going to argue that Feltz's purported counter-example fails to undermine my view even if it happens to shed new light on the difference between negative side effects and positive fringe benefits. After responding to Feltz's criticisms, I will conclude by presenting the results of a pilot study that provide prima facie support for my view.

Replies to R. E. Roughton's (see record 1994-27310-001) response to D. K. Flaks's (see record 1993-23357-001) article on homophobia and the psychologists's role in psychoanalytic training institutes. Flaks commends attempts by the American Psychoanalytic Association to combat homophobia within the organization but notes potential problems that might limit its success.

Recent evidence suggests that there is a relationship between depression and immunity. On the basis of these studies, it has been argued that depressed mood may increase susceptibility to disease by means of aberrations occurring within the immune system. Empirical research investigating the relationship between depression and immunity is reviewed here. Studies examining both clinical and nonclinical manifestations of depression are discussed and evaluated. This review reveals that indexes of immunocompetence are lower among people exhibiting depressive symptomology and suggests that immune alterations may be more related to dysphoric mood than to specific situations or events. Alternative hypotheses accounting for links between depressed affect and altered immune states are provided, and suggestions for future research are offered.

This brief rejoinder to D. V. Bishop's (1977) critique of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and in particular the concept of psychoticism (P), emphasizes that when all the evidence available is taken into account and when the theory is seen in its proper development, the criticisms advanced by Bishop will be seen not to be tenable. It is concluded that there is much evidence for the viability of the concept of psychoticism and for the validity of the questionnaire measurement of P.

10 published studies indicating that manipulated facial expressions do produce corresponding emotional experience are contrasted with R. Tourangeau and P. C. Ellsworth's (see record 1981-00499-001) failure to demonstrate this relation. Six other studies using a different but theoretically consistent paradigm also demonstrate facial feedback effects. Related results in many of these 16 studies effectively rule out experimental demand as an explanation and instead suggest similarities in process between facial feedback and hunger, attitude change, and self-evaluation.

Responds to comments by J. M. Suls and K. D. O'Leary (see PA, Vol 75:11530, and 11521, respectively) regarding their study on motivation for health behavior with adolescents. They agree with Suls' suggestion that a systems approach may eventually provide the necessary understanding of preventive health behavior and with O'Leary's comments on the effect of rewards, but they uphold their conclusions. It is noted that some societal changes in health behavior have occurred (i.e., less smoking, less sugar consumption) that are serendipitous to the findings of their study.

Replies to R. Tourangeau and P. C. Ellsworth (see record 1981-00499-001), who tested a hypothesis about the role of voluntarily innervated facial responses in the experience of emotion and disconfirmed that hypothesis. The present author's theory would also have predicted that their hypothesis would be disconfirmed. The value of the technique of voluntary simulation of facial responses for the study of innate affects is seriously questioned.

The author questions the premise on which the M. D. Rudd, L. Cordero, and C. J. Bryan (see record 2009-11890-001) argument is based and delineates some of the risks of psychotropic medication for children and adolescents. The argument is made that the diagnosis of depression should be made by specialty care providers who have particular expertise pertaining to specific developmental issues of children and adolescents. Recommendations are made for the development of psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents that may prove efficacious for the management of depression in children and adolescents.
