Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) is a program that teaches communication and interpersonal problem-solving skills to improve relationships and prevent the development of depression in adolescents. IPT-AST was developed to be delivered in schools and other community settings where adolescents are most likely to receive services, with the hope that IPT-AST can help prevent depression and other problem behaviors before they become more severe. Preventing Adolescent Depression: Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training provides a detailed description of the program to guide mental health practitioners to implement IPT-AST. Session-by-session descriptions specify the structure and content of each session. Examples of how group leaders can discuss specific topics are provided throughout the book, and the appendix includes session outlines, communication notecards, cue cards, and more. Chapters also outline key issues related to implementation of IPT-AST, including selecting adolescents to participate in group; conducting IPT-AST in schools, primary care offices, mental health clinics, and other diverse settings; working with adolescents at varying levels of risk for depression; and dealing with common clinical issues. Finally, the book outlines the research on this depression prevention program. Preventing Adolescent Depression is appropriate for a wide variety of mental health practitioners including psychologists, social workers, and school counselors.

Este es un libro pensado por y para ser un manual de consulta que oriente a los estudiantes en la realización de trabajos fin de máster (TFM) en investigación educativa. Se centra en cada uno de los aspectos que pueden mejorar la calidad de los trabajos, lo cual permitirá hacer frente a cualquier duda que le pudiera surgir a un estudiante y servirá de material de referencia para el profesorado universitario que dirija el TFM. Seguramente, los estudiantes cuentan con un bagaje y formación importante para el desarrollo de los TFM, pero en este libro iremos un poco más allá, exponiendo consejos más útiles y viables a la hora de realizar trabajos de alta calidad. Por ello, en esta obra participa un gran número de profesores universitarios procedentes de diferentes universidades presenciales y semipresenciales, volcados todos ellos en la innovación docente en torno a la realización de trabajos fin de título y que han procurado ofrecer, cada uno desde su especialidad, las mejores recomendaciones sobre la elaboración de TFM de investigación educativa. A tal efecto, el libro presenta una estructura modular en la que los capítulos se conectan entre sí, pero, a la par, posibilitan la lectura por separado. Todo ello, con el propósito de que los alumnos tomen un control autónomo de su propio aprendizaje en relación con sus necesidades e intereses de cara a emprender el camino de la realización de un TFM con la máxima garantía de éxito.

The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Este documento tiene como objetivo principal servir de orientación a estudiantes que se enfrentan a la tarea de diseñar, elaborar y redactar un TFE. Lo que se pretende es servir de ayuda dando instrucciones claras de los pasos a seguir. A lo largo de las páginas de esta guía explicaremos de forma breve y práctica el proceso de elaboración de un Trabajo Fin de Estudios (en adelante TFE), tanto de Grado, como de Máster (TFG/TFM), y aclararemos las pautas para una correcta presentación formal de la investigación. Se explicará la estructura, el formato, los tipos de investigación y sus apartados, en las distintas líneas de investigación de las autoras.

La elaboración de un trabajo fin de grado puede resultar una tarea novedosa y compleja. Por ello, esta guía busca acercar al alumnado de ciencias sociales al reto que constituye la elaboración de un trabajo de estas características. Este manual, que no pretende ser un libro de instrucciones, aporta ideas y recomendaciones que pueden resultar de utilidad en la primera toma de contacto con la asignatura. Preguntas como, qué es un trabajo fin de grado, qué y cómo puedo investigar, cómo debo redactarlo o dónde puedo buscar información quedan resueltas.

This timely practical reference addresses the lack of Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include reproducible resources for: Assessing for race-based trauma. Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.
