This chapter explores the decision of who to include in treatment. In integrative family and systems treatment (I-FAST), this is a case-by-case decision that in and of itself is considered an intervention. Guidelines for making this decision are offered. Two special situations are examined in detail: whole-family interviews as they relate to trauma and family interviews that include both survivor and perpetrator in cases of intrafamilial sexual abuse. Criteria for when and when not to conduct these interviews, along with detailed steps are outlined. Several case examples are offered covering a wide range of issues related to who to include in treatment are given.

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.

Landslide damage has been reported in many limestone areas in Europe, where the population lives close to limestone areas, and in Guilin in southern China and Ha Long in Vietnam, which are known for their unique limestone landscapes. There are few studies on the mechanism and type of landslide motion in and around such limestone areas. The lack of basic data is a problem for risk assessment and countermeasures in limestone areas. In this study, we summarized the causes and mechanisms of landslide occurrence, including geology and groundwater, focusing on six landslides that occurred in limestone areas in northern Vietnam, and classified them into six types of landslide movement. In the case of Japan, the occurrence of landslides in limestone areas is rare despite the wide distribution of limestone, and it is difficult to classify the type of movement. Differences in the landslide mechanisms are caused by the difference between limestones generated in the pelagic environment of Japan and limestones developed along the Tethys Sea coast, which are mixed with pelitic rocks as shallow-water sediments in Europe, China, and Vietnam. It is necessary to elucidate the relationship between landslides and the formation environment and sedimentary characteristics of limestone as an accretionary prism based on comparisons of a wide range of cases in future studies.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) generates high-resolution cross-sectional images and sagittal reconstructions of the vessel wall and lumen. As a result, this imaging modality can provide accurate measurements of the degree of vessel stenosis, allow the detection of intraluminal thrombus, and analyze the plaque composition. The IVUS modality is widely used in interventional cardiology, and its use in neurointerventions has gradually increased. With case examples, the authors illustrate the utility of IVUS as an adjunct to conventional angiography for a wide range of intracranial and extracranial neurointerventions.

Chapter 5 provides an overview of fear of emotions and related physical sensations and introduces exposure methods to address the fear of what lies within. This chapter is particularly focused on planning, delivering, and processing in vivo exposures to fear of fear (interoceptive exposure). The chapter describes how to modify the exposures to fit with different patient presentations and across multiple contexts, while fading the use of safety behaviors. Case examples are presented along with methods to avoid traps that can impede improvement. Research shows that relative comfort with the experience of anxiety-related symptoms predicts resilience in a wide range of situations.

While persons with disabilities face an increased risk of sexual abuse (Sobsey & Varnhagen, 1991), awareness of the severity of the problem is still lacking among most health care professionals, including rehabilitation practitioners. The purpose of this paper is to increase awareness of the issues evolving around sexual abuse and persons with disabilities by addressing the following; the prevalence of sexual abuse, including case examples; the increased vulnerability of persons with disabilities; sexual abuse reporting; barriers to service or sexual abuse treatment; and social and cultural issues. Recommendations for addressing sexual abuse issues within the counseling relationship are provided, as are resources for additional information concerning sexual abuse among persons with disabilities.
