Experimental stress analysis is an important tool in the overall design and development of machinery and structures. While analytical techniques and computer solutions are available during the design stage, the results are still dependent on many assumptions that must be made in order to adapt them to the problems at hand. One popular method of finding structural and design weaknesses is through the use of the electrical resistance strain gage. These devices are relatively low in cost, easily applied by a reasonably skilled technician, and require little investment in instrumentation (for the general user), yet they yield a wealth of information in a relatively short time period. The information and its validity is, of course, dependent on the training and knowledge of the engineer who plans the tests and reduces the data. In addition to serving as a reference for engineers, this practical, instructive book has a high potential as a textbook for senior and first-year graduate students in engineering and related fields, such as engineering physics and geology. A solutions manual is available to instructors using the book as a text.

Addiction & Recovery

Allyn&Bacon

About a decade ago, psychologists began exploring the commonalities among alcohol and drug abuse, smoking, and obesity. The term sub stance abuse evolved into the current concept of addictive behaviors, which recognizes similarities with other behaviors that do not involve consummatory responses (e. g. , pathological gambling, compulsions, sexual deviations). Professional societies and journals now have been founded in both Britain and the United States with the purpose of focus ing on research and treatment in the area of addictive behaviors. As the field has evolved, new models have emerged to address the questions and puzzles that face professionals. This volume examines some of these current issues and, in particular, explores common pro cesses of change that seem to cut across the addictive behaviors. The chapters are based on papers presented at the Third International Con ference on Treatment of Addictive Behaviors, which was held at North Berwick, Scotland, in August of 1984. The conference was organized around an integrative model of stages and processes of change that has been useful in organizing new knowledge about how to intervene with addictive behaviors. This model is set forth by its authors, Jim Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente, in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, Fred Kanfer ex pounds his own model of self-regulation, which overlaps nicely with the Prochaska-DiClemente framework and provides a behavioral-theoretical context.

Focuses on the twin themes of involvement of estrogen hormones in the development of the normal breast, and of the evidence that both exogenous and endogenous estrogens influence carcinogenesis within the breast and the behavior of established cancers. Discusses effects on tumor behavior, sources of estrogen and sites of biosynthesis, levels and patterns within breast fluids and tissues, mechanisms of action, endocrine therapy, predicting sensitivity and dependence, and future perspectives.

The success of Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) as an effective out-patient treatment plan for addiction has brought this valuable manual back in print. MET is an adaptation of the counseling approach known as Motivational Interviewing (MI) that was developed by clinical psychologists Professor William R. Miller, PhD and Professor Stephen Rollnick, PhD. Known for its unique method of facilitating and engaging intrinsic motivation within the client to change behavior, MI was pursued by Project MATCH in 1989 to compare its efficacy for treating patients of alcohol and substance abuse. Behavioral therapists and social workers who care for clients with addiction problems will find the MET techniques extremely helpful, particularly if step-programs have proven unsuccessful. The Motivational Enhancement Therapy Manual guides therapists in developing the five components of MET that make it ideal for personalized treatment:  Empathy Goal Making Avoidance of Arguments Rolling with Resistance Supporting Self-Efficacy  In this four-session, 90-day recovery plan, the success lies in the cultivation of a client's inner willingness to overcome previous ambivalence toward treatment.
