Free DownloadOffender Reentry and Cognitive Intervention : Propensity Score Matching Utility for Outcome Assessment By Ken Balusek
2014 | 161 Pages | ISBN: 1593327234 | PDF | 1 MB
The mass incarceration policies of recent decades have created the corresponding realization that the vast majority of these individuals will someday be released back into society. Failure to properly prepare these individuals for their return to society will result in a large number of these individuals returning to prison. This research uses propensity score matching to create comparison groups in order to evaluate a cognitive intervention program designed to reduce recidivism. Survival analysis reveals that offenders who completed the program were less likely to recidivate and their survival time was longer when compared to offenders who did not complete the program.

This book will help cognitive behavioral psychotherapists adopt a transdiagnostic approach in their practice. In recent years, a new approach in psychotherapy has been arguing for a move from a focus on specific diagnoses to a transdiagnostic approach that targets psychological mechanisms and processes common to different mental health conditions in order to develop more personalized treatments. This book shows how to adopt a transdiagnostic approach using different third wave cognitive behavioral therapy protocols, such as: Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Process-Based Therapy and the Unified Protocol.

Many of the new trends in the philosophy of mind are little over a generation old. They could hardly have come about without the crucial scientific and philosophical innovations forged between 1890 and 1935. During that revolutionary period, important thinkers aspired to describe dynamic processes and unearth the "genetic" foundations of their disciplines. They addressed the question of consciousness and bodily intelligence, seeking a way past inherited versions of mind-body dualism. Early neurological and phenomenalist models would more than influence computationalism, connectionism, and enactivist approaches to consciousness, representations and judgments, memory, and even lived intersubjectivity. They constitute the first act in the complex drama ongoing today.
Free DownloadOn Recursion and Its Varieties: Formal, Cognitive and Use Aspects of Recursion in Language
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031874242 | 111 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 20 MB
This book discusses linguistic recursion as a transversal property that runs through different fields, including language, computer science, mathematics, architecture, music, and art. Linguistic recursion, considered since the seminal work of Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch (2002) the defining characteristic of human language, has no analogue or homologue in other animal communication systems. This book presents different aspects of recursion from a syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic framework. Syntax recursion is largely addressed through the different types of dependencies, most notably those hierarchically composed. The semantic and pragmatic topics are respectively discussed in relation to the theory of mind and a dialogical use of language.
