Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

Mary Ainsworth’s work on the importance of maternal sensitivity for the development of infant attachment security is widely recognized as one of the most revolutionary and influential contributions to developmental psychology in the 20th century. Her longitudinal studies of naturalistic mother-infant interactions in Uganda and Baltimore played a pivotal role in the formulation and acceptance of attachment theory as a new paradigm with implications for developmental personality social and clinical psychology. The chapters in this volume collectively reveal not only the origins and depth of her conceptualizations and the originality of her assessment methods but also the many different ways in which her ideas about maternal sensitivity continue to inspire innovative research and clinical applications in Western and non-Western cultures. The contributors are leading attachment researchers including some of Mary Ainsworth’s most influential students and colleagues who have taken time to step back from their day to day research and reflect on the significance of the work she initiated and the challenges inherent in assessing parental sensitivity during naturalistic interactions in infancy and beyond. This volume makes Ainsworth’s pioneering conceptual and methodological breakthroughs and their continuing research and clinical impact accessible to theorists researchers and mental health specialists. This book was originally published as a special issue of Attachment & Human Development. | Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

From the discovery of x-rays in 1895 through the emergence of computed tomography (CT) in the 1970s and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the 1980s non-invasive imaging has revolutionized the practice of medicine. While these technologies have thoroughly penetrated clinical practice scientists continue to develop novel approaches that promise to push imaging into entirely new clinical realms while addressing the issues of dose sensitivity or specificity that limit existing imaging approaches. Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine surveys a number of emerging technologies that have the promise to find routine clinical use in the near- (less than five years) mid- (five to ten years) and long-term (more than ten years) time frames. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion of the associated physics and technology and addresses improvements in terms of dose sensitivity and specificity which are limitations of current imaging approaches. In particular the book focuses on modalities with clinical potential rather than those likely to have an impact mainly in preclinical animal imaging. The last ten years have been a period of fervent creativity and progress in imaging technology with improvements in computational power nanofabrication and laser and detector technology leading to major new developments in phase-contrast imaging photoacoustic imaging and optical imaging.

A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

This book explores the development and implementation of the Clay Embodiment Research Method (CERM) with one of the most stigmatized oppressed and marginalized groups of women in Nepal: sex-trafficked women. It argues for the use of a feminist approach to such research given the prevailing patriarchal norms cultural sensitivity of reproductive health stigmatization of sex trafficking and low literacy of the women involved. Beginning with an exploration of the author’s relationship with Nepal and the women who guide the study and the realization that a more accessible research approach was needed than the techniques otherwise commonly used it discusses the use of clay and photography as ideal entry points to engaging with the women in the research and creating this ethical methodology for self-empowerment. Not only does the volume highlight extraordinary insights offered by the women involved in this study through the application of CERM but also the recognition that its use requires expertise that can deal with the potential elicitation of trauma. The book makes the case for further study on improving the method’s use in research education and therapy involving low-literate stigmatized oppressed and marginalized populations particularly where cultural sensitivity is an important consideration. A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research is suitable for students scholars and researchers in Gender Studies Sociology Health Studies Anthropology and Asian Studies. | A Feminist Approach to Sensitive Research Designing the Clay Embodiment Research Method

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

Bayesian statistical methods have become widely used for data analysis and modelling in recent years and the BUGS software has become the most popular software for Bayesian analysis worldwide. Authored by the team that originally developed this software The BUGS Book provides a practical introduction to this program and its use. The text presents complete coverage of all the functionalities of BUGS including prediction missing data model criticism and prior sensitivity. It also features a large number of worked examples and a wide range of applications from various disciplines. The book introduces regression models techniques for criticism and comparison and a wide range of modelling issues before going into the vital area of hierarchical models one of the most common applications of Bayesian methods. It deals with essentials of modelling without getting bogged down in complexity. The book emphasises model criticism model comparison sensitivity analysis to alternative priors and thoughtful choice of prior distributions all those aspects of the art of modelling that are easily overlooked in more theoretical expositions. More pragmatic than ideological the authors systematically work through the large range of tricks that reveal the real power of the BUGS software for example dealing with missing data censoring grouped data prediction ranking parameter constraints and so on. Many of the examples are biostatistical but they do not require domain knowledge and are generalisable to a wide range of other application areas. Full code and data for examples exercises and some solutions can be found on the book‘s website. | The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis
