Principles of Clinical Practice with Older Men

Older men are much less likely to be aware of community services available to them and they are less likely to utilize services generally. This underutilization is affected by the way in which social services are organized and how practitioners function within them. Since there are greater numbers of elderly women and women utilize services more readily, practice tends to be female-centered. It is important that gender-sensitive intervention processes are established that recognize the unique experiences and concerns of older men in order to better serve them. The uniqueness of men\u27s experiences with such issues as loss of a spouse, retirement, caregiving, and victimization warrant particulara ttention by gerontologicalp ractitioners. Male-friendly interventions that take into account traditional male values will foster greater participation and better quality care for older men

Families at Five: Extending Land-Grant Research Findings to Families

Families at Five is a joint community outreach partnership between Colorado State University (CSU) Department of Human Development and Family Studies and CSU Cooperative Extension. The program provides research-based family life education and resources to families, Extension educators, and family life community professionals. Comprised of an adult program with accompanying programs for adolescents and children, Families at Five is designed to educate family members on ways to strengthen family relationships. Included in the article are suggestions for engaging Cooperative Extension agents and other community practitioners in the program planning and delivery of educational programs

The Irish and substance abuse.

This chapter introduces the clinician to the Irish people and to the key cultural features of their history and offers insight into the role of alcohol in Irish life and the current use of other substances in Ireland. Common treatment issues are reviewed and cultural guidelines are recommended. This chapter chiefly focuses on the Catholic Irish, for whom their ethnic identity is still a highly significant aspect of their lives. The author argues that, when handled with sensitivity, Irish Americans will embrace abstinence more easily than other ethnic groups. The key is to appreciate indirect language so that a therapeutic relationship can be established. A willingness to "talk around" an issue will usually be beneficial. Over time, the therapeutic process can become more direct, although increasing emotional awareness may be a slow process

Temporal variation in bird assemblages: how representative is a one-year snapshot?

Bird assemblages generally are no longer regarded as stable entities, but rather as fluctuating in response to many factors. Australia’s highly variable climate is likely to result in a high degree of dynamism in its bird assemblages, yet few studies have investigated variation on an inter-annual temporal scale. We compared two year-long samples of the bird assemblages of a series of highly fragmented buloke Allocasuarina luehmannii (Casuarinaceae)woodland remnants in south-eastern Australia, the first sample taken in 1994–1995 and the second in 2001–2002. Bird densities were almost three times higher in the second period than in the first. Mean species richness also was significantly higher. Species richness of each individual site was unrelated between the two years. Minimum species turnover was 63% and was higher, on average, for migratory and nomadic than for sedentary species. Therefore, site-level bird assemblage composition was markedly different between the two survey periods and, on average, the assemblage composition of each site bore greater resemblance to those of other sites in the same year than to that of the same site in the other survey period. Most species changed substantially in their distribution among remnants between the two periods. The change in distribution of most species did not differ significantly from that expected if the species had redistributed at random among the sites. This suggests that although the remnant vegetation of the area is highly fragmented with minimal interpatch connectivity, bird movements among remnants must be relatively frequent. Interannual variability in Australian bird assemblages may be higher than is commonly recognized. In such dynamic systems, we must be cautious when extrapolating from the findings of short-term studies to longer temporal scales, especially in relation to conservation management. A greater understanding of the processes driving distributional patterns is likely to enable better predictions of species’ responses to habitat change

Counseling Arab and Chaldean American Families

The last century has seen an increase in the population of Americans of Arab and Chaldean descent. In recent decades, clinicians have articulated the goal of enhancing their knowledge of cultural diversity for the purpose of improving their appreciation for diversity and the quality of their mental health interventions with diverse populations. However, there is currently little systematic empirical research regarding the counseling of Arab and Chaldean Americans, although awareness of the need for such research among mental health professionals has started to emerge. The purpose of this paper is to provide an integrative review of the values and socio-cultural forces that are relevant to the counseling of this population in North America, and to provide some culturally sensitive recommendations for working with American families of Arab and Chaldean ethnicity. In particular, we propose that effective interventions with clients of Arab and Chaldean ethnic backgrounds will need to be informed by an understanding of the everyday sociopolitical contextual background of target clients and the impact of values and acculturation processes on the family network
