Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

This book offers clear and direct answers to the questions most frequently asked by students and trainees learning how to talk to clients and extract critical data from them. Its development reflects the old adage that necessity is the mother of invention. For many years the editors taught beginning level mental health clinicians. They found however no text to be satisfactory-including a number that they themselves were involved in producing. Some were too difficult; some were too simplistic; some were too doctrinaire; still others had missing elements. Written in a reader-friendly how-to style the chapters in Basic Interviewing are not weighed down by references. Rather each contributor suggests readings for students and instructors who wish to pursue questions further. After the initial overview chapter there are 12 chapters addressing the nuts-and-bolts concerns of all clinicians that can be particularly vexing for neophytes. They cover a variety of issues from the most specific-like how to begin and end interviews-to the more general-like how to build rapport and identify targets for treatment. Throughout rich clinical illustrations facilitate the pragmatic application of fundamental principles. Beginning graduate students in counseling and clinical psychology social work and other allied mental health fields as well as psychiatric trainees will find this text to be an indispensable companion. | Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

Stays and Corsets Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body

Stays and Corsets Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body

Stays and Corsets: Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body goes a step beyond traditional historical costuming texts by not only providing you with historical pattern diagrams and information but by showing you how to adapt these patterns to the contemporary body shape. Using her original pattern-drafting system author Mandy Barrington will show you how to draft a historical pattern for a modern body shape while still retaining an accurate historical silhouette. Each pattern has been generated from an original stay corset or pattern taken from a historical garment. The instructions to follow these new patterns are designed to accommodate any size of female figure allowing you to avoid extremely difficult time consuming and inaccurate historical pattern re-sizing Requiring only basic prior knowledge of pattern drafting all calculations have been worked out for the costume maker and are provided in simple tables accompanied by easy-to-read step-by-step diagrams that clearly show how the historical pattern is plotted onto the female basic block coupled with photographs of the constructed stays and corsets. | Stays and Corsets Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body

Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala

Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala

With its flexibility for programming both small and large projects Scala is an ideal language for teaching beginning programming. Yet there are no textbooks on Scala currently available for the CS1/CS2 levels. Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala presents many concepts from CS1 and CS2 using a modern JVM-based language that works well for both programming in the small and programming in the large. The book progresses from true programming in the small to more significant projects later leveraging the full benefits of object orientation. It first focuses on fundamental problem solving and programming in the small using the REPL and scripting environments. It covers basic logic and problem decomposition and explains how to use GUIs and graphics in programs. The text then illustrates the benefits of object-oriented design and presents a large collection of basic data structures showing different implementations of key ADTs along with more atypical data structures. It also introduces multithreading and networking to provide further motivating examples. By using Scala as the language for both CS1 and CS2 topics this textbook gives students an easy entry into programming small projects as well as a firm foundation for taking on larger-scale projects. Many student and instructor resources are available at www. programmingusingscala. net
