Initial Evaluation of the Secondary Trauma Questionnaire
Many measures exist to evaluate posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but there are few ways of assessing secondary traumatic stress disorder and these are limited to specific populations. Secondary traumatic stress disorder involves the transfer of trauma symptoms from those who have been traumatized to those who have close and extended contact with trauma victims. Thus, family members of those who have been traumatized and therapists who treat …

Comparison of Characteristics of Vietnam Veterans with and without Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Characteristics of 107 Vietnam veterans with and without Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), who had been exposed to varying levels of combat, were compared. Severity of psychopathology as assessed on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, locus of control orientation as measured by the Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External Control Scale, and ability to have provided structure and meaning to the Vietnam experience were examined. Compared to vete…
Therapeutic Techniques vs Therapeutic Relationships in Child Behavior Therapy
The parents of 56 children who had received behavior therapy rated a number of variables, including the degree to which they viewed the therapeutic relationship versus the specific techniques used in treatment as important, the extent to which the child improved in therapy, and the child's present functioning. Therapists also provided ratings of clinical improvement. Even though parents gave the highest ratings for the importance of the relations…
Tourette Syndrome
We investigated the self-concepts of Tourette Syndrome patients and their mothers. The subjects were 30 children with Tourette Syndrome and their mothers, and 30 children matched on age, sex, and socioeconomic status and their mothers. The results indicated that, while the children did not differ on self-concept, the mothers of the Tourette Syndrome patients had lower self-concepts than the mothers of the controls, suggesting that family members …
A Doctoral Program for the Working Psychologist
The doctoral program in School-Community Psychology at Hofstra University was designed to permit master's-level psychologists to enter a doctoral training program without giving up their full-time employment. Classes within the program take place on Saturdays, evenings and during the summer. This program helps to address the problem of the two-tier system of MAs and Ph.D. psychologists which is viewed as a highly controversial issue for the profe…
Use of Contracts in Psychotherapy
The use of contracts in psychotherapy is presented as a way of helping to address questions regarding the ‘cost effectiveness’ of psychotherapy. Contracts are also shown to be of value in protecting the client, increasing therapist's accountability, and enhancing the researcher's capability of conducting investigations on the effectiveness of therapeutic procedures. Difficulties in writing highly specific contracts for clients' vague complaints a…
Factors Related to the Efficacy of Treatment of Enuresis
The variables of sex, frequency of wetting, a family history of enuresis, and use of positive reinforcement were examined to determine if they were significantly related to response to the bell-and-pad procedure. Dependent measures were number of days required to achieve dryness and frequency of wetting in a 1-yr. follow-up. Among the findings was that girls achieved the dryness criterion more quickly than boys. Frequency of enuresis was inversel…
Perceptions of justice
The present study extended the research on perceptions of justice to the adolescent population and examined the extent to which locus of control, rationality of thought, and age were related to these perceptions. Data were obtained from 166 students in grades 7–10. Adolescents tended to perceive the world as moderately unjust and this outlook remained relatively stable through time. An internal locus of control was shown to be related to a tenden…
