A Schema Therapy Based Milieu in Secure Residential Youth Care:Effects on Aggression, Group Climate, Repressive Staff Interventions, and Team Functioning
Group care workers of residential youth care settings face the challenge of creating a warm and involved treatment climate against the demands and restrictions of the treatment setting. We tested the effects of SafePath, a milieu-based intervention based on Schema Therapy principles, during the first year of implementation on two secure residential treatment units compared to two control units. Staff’s daily reports on 139 individual patients were coded on use of schema mode language (implementation check), occurrences of aggression (primary outcome) and repressive staff interventions. In addition, repeated questionnaires were filled out by patients (n = 87) on group climate and by staff (n = 50) on team functioning. Compared to the control units, SafePath units showed higher improvements in group climate and repressive interventions. Both SafePath and control units showed decreased aggression over time. Team functioning was consistently better in the SafePath units compared to the care-as-usual units from baseline through 12 months. In conclusion, a Schema Therapy based milieu as implemented with SafePath may contribute to a warm and supportive group climate with less repressive interventions in secure residential youth care
Future Prospects: Deep Imaging of Galaxy Outskirts using Telescopes Large and Small
The Universe is almost totally unexplored at low surface brightness levels.
In spite of great progress in the construction of large telescopes and
improvements in the sensitivity of detectors, the limiting surface brightness
of imaging observations has remained static for about forty years. Recent
technical advances have at last begun to erode the barriers preventing
progress. In this Chapter we describe the technical challenges to low surface
brightness imaging, describe some solutions, and highlight some relevant
observations that have been undertaken recently with both large and small
telescopes. Our main focus will be on discoveries made with the Dragonfly
Telephoto Array (Dragonfly), which is a new telescope concept designed to probe
the Universe down to hitherto unprecedented low surface brightness levels. We
conclude by arguing that these discoveries are probably only scratching the
surface of interesting phenomena that are observable when the Universe is
explored at low surface brightness levels.Comment: 27 pages, 10 figures, Invited review, Book chapter in "Outskirts of
