Diagnostic Essentials of Psychopathology: A Case-Based Approach
by Cheree F. HammondDiagnostic Essentials of Psychopathology: A Case-Based Approach by Cheree Hammond brings together dozens of fictional cases which represent a range of human experiences, featuring people of different ages, ethnicities, genders, ability levels, and religions. Each disorder has several cases associated with it to capture the truly unique nature of working with various client intersections, and half of the cases provide the correct "answers" or diagnosis to allow students to check their understanding of this process. Some cases focus on a diagnosis, others with analysis, and others let the student practice on their own as a way to further student reflection and learning. This casebook is specifically written for disciplines that are grounded in a humanistic approach (Counseling, Social Work, Counseling Psychology). The author provides a framework for using the medical model that is presented in the DSM-5.

Diagnostisch Instrument voor Apraxie van de Spraak (DIAS) handleiding
by Judith Feiken Roel JonkersDoel van de testHet Diagnostisch Instrument voor Apraxie van de Spraak (DIAS) is een instrument waarmee de diagnose ‘spraakapraxie’ gesteld wordt. Daarnaast kan met het DIAS de ernst van de spraakapraxie worden bepaald. Het DIAS is het eerste betrouwbare en gestandaardiseerde instrument voor het specifiek diagnosticeren van spraakapraxie, los van eventueel aanwezige andere stoornissen, zoals afasie en / of dysartrie. Met de test legt men een goede basis voor een passend therapieplan voor de patientgroep met spraakapraxie en het instrument brengt het effect in kaart van specifiek op spraakapraxie gerichte therapie. Het DIAS onderzoekt de aard van de spraakapraxie door na te gaan welke specifieke symptomen van de stoornis aanwezig zijn en in welke mate. Daarnaast bepaalt het instrument het niveau van de doelbewuste articulatie, waarmee de ernst van de spraakapraxie in kaart wordt gebracht. Met het DIAS onderzoekt men patiënten bij wie een vermoeden bestaat dat er sprake is van spraakapraxie of waarbij al is vastgesteld dat er sprake is van spraakapraxie. Het instrument is geschikt om af te nemen aan het eind van de acute fase en bij de aanvang van de revalidatiefase. Om logopedische therapie te kunnen evalueren wordt geadviseerd het DIAS met tussenpozen van 3 maanden af te nemen en de uitkomsten van de afnamen te vergelijken.Toepassing• Diagnose: stelt de diagnose spraakapraxie en bepaalt de ernst van de stoornis.• Differentiaaldiagnose: onderscheidt spraakapraxie van afasie en dysartrie.• Behandeling: helpt bij het maken van een passend therapieplan.• Evaluatie: bepaalt het effect van gegeven therapie• Onderzoek: levert een bijdrage aan o.a. therapie- effectstudiesWat meet het DIAS?Het DIAS bevat vier taken, gericht op de articulatorisch- motorische programmering:1. aansturing van de articulatiespieren, los van de spraak (buccofaciaal)2. bewuste articulatie van individuele klanken3. diadochokinese (afwisselen van articulatieplaats en -wijze)4. articulatie van woorden met een toenemende articulatiecomplexiteitMet deze vier taken worden de specifieke kenmerken van de spraakapraxie en de ernst van stoornis vastgesteld.Voor wie?Het DIAS kan worden afgenomen zonder specifieke kennis over de achtergronden van spraakapraxie. Scoring en interpretatie mogen echter alleen worden uitgevoerd door professionals die deze kennis wel hebben. Afname en scoringAlle taken van het DIAS worden op multimodale (mondeling en schriftelijk) wijze aangeboden. Dit heeft als doel de invloed van eventueel aanwezige fatische stoornissen zoveel mogelijk te vermijden. De afname verloopt in een vaste volgorde, bij voorkeur achter elkaar door en duurt 30 tot 45 minuten. Elke afname wordt opgenomen op video en achteraf gescoord.NormenDe diagnose spraakapraxie wordt gesteld op basis van een cutoff-score met betrekking tot het aantal aanwezige kenmerken in combinatie met de aanwezigheid van combinaties van specifieke kenmerken. De interpretatie van de ernstscores wordt uitgevoerd met behulp van normtabellen. Er kan een vergelijking worden gemaakt met de scores van patiënten met spraakapraxie (percentielen) en met de scores van mensen zonder spraakstoornis (gemiddelden).Materialen• Diagnostisch Instrument voor Apraxie van de Spraak (DIAS) — complete set • Diagnostisch Instrument voor Apraxie van de Spraak (DIAS) — scoreformulieren (25)• Diagnostisch Instrument voor Apraxie van de Spraak (DIAS) — handleiding
Diagramming the Big Idea: Methods for Architectural Composition
by Jeffrey Balmer Michael T. SwisherAs a beginning design student, you need to learn to think like a designer, to visualize ideas and concepts, as well as objects. In Diagramming the Big Idea, Jeffrey Balmer and Michael T. Swisher illustrate how you can create and use diagrams to clarify your understanding of both particular projects and organizing principles and ideas. With accessible, step-by-step exercises that interweave diagrams, drawings and virtual models, the authors clearly show you how to compose meaningful and useful diagrams. As you follow the development of the four project groups drawn from the authors’ teaching, you will become familiar with architectural composition concepts such as proportion, site, form, hierarchy and spatial construction. In addition, description and demonstration essays extend concepts to show you more examples of the methods used in the projects. Whether preparing for a desk critique, or any time when a fundamental insight can help to resolve a design problem, this book is your essential studio resource.
Diagramming the Big Idea: Methods for Architectural Composition
by Jeffrey Balmer Michael T. SwisherBecoming an architect is a daunting task. Beyond the acquisition of new skills and procedures, beginning designers face an entirely unfamiliar mode of knowledge: design thinking. In Diagramming the Big Idea, Jeffrey Balmer and Michael T. Swisher introduce the fundamentals of design thinking by illustrating how architects make and use diagrams to clarify their understanding of both specific architectural projects and universal principles of form and order. With accessible, step-by-step procedures that interweave diagrams, drawings and virtual models, the authors demonstrate how to compose clear and revealing diagrams. Design thinking defines a method for engaging the world through observation and analysis. Beyond problem solving, design is a search for possibilities. Mastering design thinking begins with learning the fundamentals of visual composition. It embraces the ability to synthesize deductive and imaginative reasoning, combining both shrewd scrutiny and fevered speculation. Design diagrams make visible the abstractions that order the built environment. Premised upon the Beaux-Arts notion of the architectural parti, Balmer and Swisher adopt the ‘Big Idea’ as a foil and as a suitcase to organize fundamentals of architectural composition. The goal of this book is to make explicit to students what they are learning, why they are learning it and how to internalize such lessons toward their lifelong development as designers.

Diagrams, Visual Imagination, and Continuity in Peirce's Philosophy of Mathematics (Mathematics in Mind)
by Vitaly KiryushchenkoThis book is about the relationship between necessary reasoning and visual experience in Charles S. Peirce’s mathematical philosophy. It presents mathematics as a science that presupposes a special imaginative connection between our responsiveness to reasons and our most fundamental perceptual intuitions about space and time. Central to this view on the nature of mathematics is Peirce’s idea of diagrammatic reasoning. In practicing this kind of reasoning, one treats diagrams not simply as external auxiliary tools, but rather as immediate visualizations of the very process of the reasoning itself. Thus conceived, one's capacity to diagram their thought reveals a set of characteristics common to ordinary language, visual perception, and necessary mathematical reasoning. The book offers an original synthetic approach that allows tracing the roots of Peirce’s conception of a diagram in certain patterns of interrelation between his semiotics, his pragmaticist philosophy, his logical and mathematical ideas, bits and pieces of his biography, his personal intellectual predispositions, and his scientific practice as an applied mathematician.

Dialectics of Knowing in Education: Transforming Conventional Practice into its Opposite
by Neil HooleyDialectics of Knowing in Education strengthens the philosophical basis of formal education that has been weakened by neoliberalism over the past 30 years. It theorises and encourages human existence based on social action, culture, inquiry and creativity so that citizens in democratic association can formulate their own understandings of the world and be their own philosophers of practice. <P><P>Under neoliberal capitalism, formal education has become a key economic driver and factor for all countries, but has exacerbated social division and inequality. This has led to an increased pressure on education systems to emphasise individual gain and prosperity at the expense of community care and concern. Drawing on the work of Dewey, Mead, Freire and Biesta, the author argues that formal education at all levels must be transformed so that it does not seek to impose knowledge and truth, but situates knowledge as being constructed by democratic learning circles of staff, students and citizens. <P><P>Focusing particularly on the notion of praxis and specific issues involving Indigenous, feminist and practitioner knowing, this book will help scholars, practitioners and policy makers to transform their education theories and practices in ways that encourage democracy, emancipation, social action, culture, inquiry and creativity.
Dialects at School: Educating Linguistically Diverse Students
by Walt Wolfram Jeffrey Reaser Carolyn Temple Adger Donna ChristianLike its predecessor, Dialects in Schools and Communities, this book illuminates major language-related issues that educational practitioners confront, such as responding to dialect related features in students’ speech and writing, teaching Standard English, teaching students about dialects, and distinguishing dialect difference from language disorders. It approaches these issues from a practical perspective rooted in sociolinguistic research, with a focus on the research base for accommodating dialect differences in schools. Expanded coverage includes research on teaching and learning and attention to English language learners. All chapters include essential information about language variation, language attitudes, and principles of handling dialect differences in schools; classroom-based samples illustrating the application of these principles; and an annotated resources list for further reading. The text is supported by a Companion Website (www.routledge.com/cw/Reaser) providing additional resources including activities, discussion questions, and audio/visual enhancements that illustrate important information and/or pedagogical approaches. Comprehensive and authoritative, Dialects at School reflects both the relevant research bases in linguistics and education and educational practices concerning language variation. The problems and examples included are authentic, coming from the authors’ own research, observations and interactions in public school classrooms, and feedback in workshops. Highlights include chapters on oral language and reading and writing in dialectally diverse classrooms, as well as a chapter on language awareness for students, offering a clear and compelling overview of how teachers can inspire students to learn more about language variation, including their own community language patterns. An inventory of dialect features in the Appendix organizes and expands on the structural descriptions presented in the chapters.
