State Depression

Depression is the most prevalent mental disorder and one of the most important health problems in Chile. The current study shows data for validity and reliability of the State subscale (S–DEP) of the Chilean experimental version of the State-Trait Depression Questionnaire (ST–DEP). The procedure conducted with the original version of the questionnaire was replicated on a sample of 300 university students. The utilized measures were the State Depression Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and neutral depressive, mild depressive, and moderate depressive vignettes. Results indicated that the factor structure was replicable, the internal consistency was good, and the situations were ranked as expected. The scale distinguishes intensities of depression. Clinicians and researchers in Chile are provided with a new measure for state depression.

Family Centered

Although family-centered practice has been implemented nationwide in child welfare, measures for evaluating family-centered practice have not been well-established. This study aimed to evaluate the factor structure of the Family-Centered Practice Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to examine the factor structure of the Family-Centered Practice Questionnaire. The five-factor and second-order five-factor models of the revised Family-Centered Practice Questionnaire with 31 items both demonstrated adequate fit. The higher order of this scale was family-centered practice and five factors were mutual trust, shared decision-making, family as a unit, strengths-based practice, and cultural competence and sensitivity. Findings suggest that the revised Family-Centered Practice Questionnaire may be helpful to practitioners and researchers seeking to measure the implementation of family-centered practice in child welfare settings.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of an 11-item Personal Safety Decision Scale (PSDS) in a sample of child welfare workers. Methods: Data were derived from a larger cross-sectional online survey to a random stratified sample of 477 public child welfare workers in a mid-Atlantic State. An exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to examine the construct validity of the revised scale. Results: Results indicated the presence of a two-factor structure in PSDS. CFA resulted in a revised 7-item, two-factor structure. The revised PSDS internal consistency reliability was .78. Conclusions: A valid and reliable measure can be useful for assessing the level of perceived home visit risks that child welfare social workers may experience. The scale can be used to explore the risk and protective factors and worker behaviors that surround workers’ safety concerns.

In this chapter, Jaspers' views on neuroscience and its relationship to psychopathology are described. Firstly, there will is a brief historical discussion of neuroscience and its place in the first biological psychiatry of the late nineteenth century, showing how Jaspers' concerns fit into wider worries of his near contemporaries around 'brain mythology'. Secondly, the chapter offers a detailed exegesis of Jaspers' views on the psyche and neuroscience in the translated 1959 edition of General Psychopathology, including his views on the unity of the psyche and soma and the importance of both psychopathology and neurology as modes of investigation in psychiatry. Thirdly, a brief survey of Jaspers later general views on science and pluralism is presented. The chapter argues that Jaspers is not by any means opposed to a neuroscientific approach in psychiatry, but rather criticises the view that neuroscience is the only means to study mental disorder.

AbstractUse of network models to identify causal structure typically blocks reduction across the sciences. Entanglement of mental processes with environmental and intentional relationships, as Borsboom et al. argue, makes reduction of psychology to neuroscience particularly implausible. However, in psychiatry, a mental disorder can involve no brain disorder at all, even when the former crucially depends on aspects of brain structure. Gambling addiction constitutes an example.
