The Effectiveness of Simulation for Teaching Disaster Mental Health
Disaster mental health responders need training in front-line interventions such as risk assessment and psychological first aid in an environment that simulates the characteristic stress and chaos of disasters.

A mixed-methods design explored change in confidence level of employing psychological first aid and basic engagement sk…
Emerging Counselors’ Perception of Wellness
Four focus groups with 12 students indicated three themes on the topic of wellness: (a) wellness was an important, complex construct unique to the individual, (b) wellness as an “opening of the eyes” through awareness, translation, and integration, and (c) emerging counselors’ recommendations. Implications for training and research are discussed
Social Work Practitioners and Practice Evaluation
Practice evaluation is an important component of evidence-based social work practice. Previous research in this area has concluded that even though social workers receive evaluation training, it remains under-utilized in practice. This study discusses the results of a survey of 134 social workers across different social work settings, positions, and level of preparation, examining incidence and type of evaluation activity, training received, and …

Practice evaluation is an important component in the implementation of evidence-based practice. Until recently it has been difficult to assess practitioner knowledge in evaluation in the field. This study discusses the development and initial psychometrics of an 8-item scale to assess practitioner competency in evaluation. The Practice Evaluation Knowledge Scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency (alpha = .925) and validity. Results indi…

Prevalence of Postpartum Depression in a Native American Population
Control and the Dalkon Shield
This article analyzes how medical and scientific discourses surrounding the Dalkon Shield legitimized and authorized the punishment and control of women's bodies. Women who used, or were targeted as potential users of, the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device were judged according to normative constructions of sex, hegemonic heterosexuality, and race. Eugenics and population control discourses were significant in classifying particular women as infe…
Storytelling and Democracy (in the Radical Sense)
In his introduction to Best American Short Stories 1996, John Edgar Wideman wrote that that mount a challenge to our everyday conventions and assumptions stir my blood. Not only because they are exciting formally and philosophically, but because they retain for fiction its special subversive, radically democratic Wideman's own writing assumes this role. The muscular energy of his prose and his nonlinear style, which segues in and out of multiple …
