Signaling Goodness

Social Rules and Public Choice

By: Phillip J. Nelson,Kenneth V. Greene

Political, intellectual, and academic discourse in the United States has been awash in political correctness, which has itself been berated and defended -- yet little understood. As a corrective, Nelson and Greene look at a more general process: adopting political positions to enhance one's reputation for trustworthiness both to others and to oneself. Phillip Nelson and Kenneth Greene are Professors of Economics in the Department of Economics at the State University of New York, Binghamton.

Attachment in Adulthood

Structure, Dynamics, and Change

By: Mario Mikulincer,Phillip R. Shaver

Synthesizing a vast body of empirical research and organizing it around a comprehensive conceptual model, this book is recognized as the definitive reference on adult attachment. The authors explain how what began as a theory of child development is now used to conceptualize and study nearly all aspects of social functioning across the lifespan, including mental representations of self and others, emotion regulation, personal goals and strivings, couple relationships, caregiving, sexuality, psychopathology, psychotherapy, and organizational behavior. The origins and measurement of individual differences in adult attachment are examined, as is the question of whether and how attachment patterns can change. New to This Edition: *Reflects major advances, including hundreds of new studies. *Clarifies and extends the authors' influential model of attachment-system functioning. *Cutting-edge content on genetics and on the neural and hormonal substrates of attachment. *Increased attention to the interplay among attachment and other behavioral systems, such as caregiving and sexuality. *Expanded discussion of attachment processes in counseling and psychotherapy. *Additional coverage of leadership, group dynamics, and religion.

Inclusive Educational Administration

A Case Study Approach, Second Edition

By: Mary Konya Weishaar,John C. Borsa,Phillip M. Weishaar

Regular and special education administrators regularly encounter problems when attempting to work together to create and maintain successful special education programs. This updated and improved second edition seeks to overcome this obstacle by training readers in shared problem solving. Each chapter focuses on a specific issueincluding school reform, fiscal and human-resource matters, school governance, identification and placement, conflict resolution, program evaluation, transportation, and disciplinefollowed by real-life case studies and questions designed to encourage inclusive thinking and discussion within a cohort. These real-life case studies are an ideal way to hone problem-solving skills in the safety of the classroom and prepare for real-world situations. The second edition integrates new legislation, such as IDEA 2004 and No Child Left Behind, and discusses contemporary developments including Response to Intervention (RtI). Enhanced graphics and semantic maps effectively highlight key terms and concepts. The authors have added a new section featuring concept maps and key vocabulary terms for each case study. Instructors will appreciate this invaluable tool to facilitate discussion and promote critical thinking about the elements presented in each chapter.

Excitable Cells in Tissue Culture

By: Phillip G. Nelson,Melvyn Lieberman

The tissue culture approach to the study of membrane properties of excitable cells has progressed beyond the technical problems of culture methodology. Recent developments have fostered substantive contributions in research con cerned with the physiology, pharmacology, and biophysics of cell membranes in tissue culture. The scope of this volume is related to the application of tissue culture methodology to developmental processes and cellular mechanisms of electrical and chemical excitability. The major emphasis will be on the body of new biological information made available by the analytic possibilities inherent in the tissue culture systems. Naturally occurring preparations of excitable cells are frequently of suf ficient morphological complexity to compromise the analysis of the data obtained from them. Some of the limitations associated with dissected prepa rations have to do with the direct visualization of and access to the cell(s) in question and maintenance of steady-state conditions for prolonged periods of time. Since preparations in tissue culture can circumvent these problems, it is feasible to analyze the properties of identifiable cells, grown either singly or in prescribed geometries, as well as to follow the development of cellular inter actions. A crucial consideration in the use of cultured preparations is that they must faithfully capture the phenomenon of interest to the investigator. This and other potential limitations on the methodology are of necessary concern in the present volume.

Psychiatric Dimensions of Medical Practice

What Primary-Care Physicians Should Know about Delirium, Demoralization, Suicidal Thinking, and Competence to Refuse Medical Advice

By: Phillip R. Slavney

In this book, Johns Hopkins psychiatrist Phillip R. Slavney, M.D., offers a concise guide that will help primary-care physicians evaluate and treat patients who are delirious, demoralized, thinking of suicide, or refusing to follow medical advice. Although these patients exhibit emotional distress, cognitive disturbance, or maladaptive behavior, the cause of the problem is often their medical illness and treatment. For that reason, many such patients can receive excellent care from their own physicians—physicians who, given the resistance of managed care companies to specialist referrals, must now bear that responsibility in any event. After an introductory chapter on clinical assessment, Slavney discusses each of these common problems as it occurs in the clinical setting, with illustrative cases and specific advice about evaluation and treatment. "Dr. Slavney has written lucidly and carefully about these very important issues, clarifying his exposition through a series of case examples. This book should be enormously useful not only to students and house staff but also to practicing physicians and faculty, especially those making the rounds on clinical services. One wishes, in fact, that it were possible to have Dr. Slavney along on rounds; this volume is a useful move in that direction."—Jeremiah A. Barondess, M.D., from the foreword
