La constellation de la défaite. Histoire d’un objet non identifié
Authors: Lamonde Yvan
Published: June 2019

L’analyse tente de dégager le sens de la notion polysémique de « défaite ». À travers les notions de pauvreté (Saint-Denys Garneau), de fatigue culturelle et politique (Aquin et Daniel Jacques), d’ambivalence, de dédoublement (Bouthillette), de travail de deuil (Létourneau) et de pensée impuissante (Bouchard), on cherche à identifier un manque de la culture intellectuelle du Québec et son dépassement épinglés par chaque auteur.AbstractThe present analysis explores the polysemic meaning of the deafeat mentality in Quebec’s intellectual history. Through the related notions of poverty (Saint-Denys Garneau), intellectual and political exhaustion (Aquin and Daniel Jacques), ambiva-lence, split personality (Bouthillette), mourning process (Létourneau) and impotent thought (Bouchard), the challemge is to identify a lack and ways to go beyond described by each author.
Aux confins de la pensée, le monstre. Chassé-croisé entre Odilon Redon et Shary Boyle
Authors: Caland Fabienne Claire
Published: June 2019

Pour faire vivre les monstres peuplant son imaginaire sans les enfermer dans une représentation violente, l’artiste choisit des techniques et des matériaux qui infléchissent le sujet, tempèrent sa violence, éliminent les tensions. Ainsi, Odilon Redon compose ses créatures en clair-obscur, au fusain, avec la même inquiétante étrangeté que l’artiste ontarienne Shary Boyle, 150 ans après, obtient par la sensualité du pastel et la brillance d’une porcelaine traitée comme une dentelle. L’euphémisation, dans les deux cas, passe par l’esthétisation. L’apaisement, aussi, par une technicité qui accepte le spontané et voit en son imperfection le chemin vers l’humanisation du monstre.
Vagabondages contemporains : Promenade de Régis Jauffret
Authors: Mahy Fanny
Published: June 2019

Cet article vise à analyser le vagabondage d’une femme du XXIe siècle, mise en pages par Régis Jauffret dans son roman Promenade. Notre approche recourt à trois concepts, explorés successivement, que sont le modernisme, le postmodernisme et la surmodernité. Même si le texte résiste à ces catégorisations d’esthétiques et de motifs sociaux et qu’on ne peut radicalement trancher en faveur de l’une ou de l’autre, elles engendrent toutefois une analyse suffisamment féconde à la saisie effective des formes du vagabondage aujourd’hui, dans la société, autant que dans l’écriture.
Ciceri et la passion dans le décor d’opéra. L’exemple de Gustave III
Authors: Wild Nicole
Published: June 2019

Décorateur de théâtre le plus célèbre du XIXe siècle, Pierre-Luc-Charles Ciceri atteint au sommet de sa gloire au début de la Monarchie de Juillet, au moment où triomphe le grand opéra. Peu de temps après avoir marqué son époque avec son très célèbre décor du cloître de Robert le diable, il perd progressivement de son influence et se voit même refuser un projet de décor d'une force expressive peu commune pour l'acte III de Gustave III d'Auber. Grâce à de nombreux documents d'archives, cet article nous éclaire sur ce mystérieux projet de décor.
Chasteté et sexualité dans Tristan und Isolde
Authors: Nattiez Jean-Jacques
Published: June 2019

L’auteur imagine tout d’abord qu’on lit le livret de Tristan und Isolde sans rien connaître de sa mise en musique. Ce qui est alors au premier plan, ce sont les règles d’honneur de la chevalerie médiévale, véritable toile de fond de leurs amours. Dans cette perspective, c’est au caractère sensuel de la musique que revient la tâche d’exprimer le désir profond des deux personnages dont l’union, vu les contraintes sociales, ne pourra être scellée que dans la mort. Après un bilan des modalités de représentation de la sexualité dans les opéras de Wagner, il est suggéré que c’est elle qui, de façon plus générale, est à la base du plaisir esthétique.
De la fantasmagorie à la physique quantique. Un revenant de Rémi Tremblay
Authors: Levasseur Jean
Published: June 2019

Le Canada français littéraire du XIXe siècle compte des œuvres relevant de l’utopie et de la science-fiction. Rémi Tremblay, Franco-Américain d’adoption, présente avec Un revenant (1884) une œuvre unique. Huit ans avant Jules Verne dans son Château des Carpathes (1892), Tremblay introduit la fantasmagorie dans la fiction. La science permet de véhiculer des idées libérales, dans le sillage de l’idéologie démocratique américaine. Par ailleurs, l’originalité du texte se trouve aussi dans le traitement fictionnel de la lanterne magique, qui fait se confronter deux philosophies scientifiques du XXe siècle, la relativité d’Einstein et la théorie quantique.
Patrick Senécal (1995-2007). De la normalité à la déviance, de la lucidité à la folie, de l’inaccessible sens à l’absurde monstruosité du non-sens
Authors: Girard Estelle
Published: June 2019

Dans cette étude, Estelle Girard traite des romans noirs — le corpus produit entre 1995 et 2007 — de Patrick Senécal, qui explorent la monstruosité non pas surnaturelle, mais humaine. Selon la critique, c’est sur le dérapage d’un personnage complexe, peint en demi-teintes, que se concentrent l’horreur fantastique et le thriller de Senécal, lui-même un « monstre » par son succès dans le paysage littéraire du Québec. Son analyse examine donc le jeu dialectique entre la raison et la folie, la norme et la transgression, le sens et le non-sens dans la genèse du personnage monstrueux senécalien.
Fictions du vide. Scénario pour une enquête cinématographique et littéraire
Authors: Carrier-Lafleur Thomas
Published: June 2019

Le présent article, sous la double forme d’un scénario et d’une enquête, se veut une réflexion volontairement ouverte sur ce qui sera défini comme les « fictions du vide », sur leurs différents modes d’apparition et sur les diverses figures qu’elles sont en mesure de proposer. Le point de départ de l’enquête se construit depuis la reprise d’une pensée de Deleuze sur ce qu’il nomme la « petite forme » cinématographique, accompagnée d’exemples choisis dans la filmographie de Chaplin, de Lubitsch et de Mike Nichols. Le second moment de l’enquête sera littéraire, afin de suivre la trajectoire intermédiatique des fictions du vide et ainsi de rendre compte de leur capacité d’adaptation. Les œuvres considérées, pour des raisons différentes, seront À la recherche du temps perdu et Le Docteur Faustus. Ce parcours expressément bifurquant sera finalement l’occasion d’interroger la portée des fictions du vide en rapport avec l’acte même qui consiste à les interpréter.
Les tourments d’un Pygmalion moderne. Stendhal face au mythe du héros dans les Mémoires sur Napoléon
Authors: Mineau Caroline L.
Published: June 2019

Dans sa préface aux Mémoires sur Napoléon, Stendhal se défend de vouloir faire comme tant d’auteurs avant lui, qui avaient magnifié l’image de Napoléon pour dorer leur propre réputation auprès d’un public friand du mythe napoléonien. Néanmoins, une analyse du texte stendhalien révèle que l’auteur se serait laissé séduire par l’image héroïque de Napoléon, dans laquelle il aurait trouvé une façon d’échapper à la plate réalité de la Monarchie de Juillet. Par les différents problèmes qu’il laisse irrésolus, cet ouvrage inachevé est exemplaire de la tension entre le désir de ré-enchanter le monde, qui incite l’artiste moderne à créer ou à reprendre des mythes, et l’exigence de lucidité qui mine son effort en l’obligeant à entretenir un rapport toujours critique à sa création et à son rôle de créateur.
Le prologue dramatique et l’allégorie générique à l’âge classique
Authors: Arnason Luke
Published: June 2019

Les études de l’allégorie dans la littérature française du XVIIe siècle se sont focalisées, pour l’heure, sur la dimension politique, malgré la présence de plusieurs autres « strates » allégoriques interdépendantes (Couton, Écritures Codées, 1990). Cet article est donc une tentative de relier les strates politique et thématique, bien connues, à un discours sur le genre élaboré pendant le troisième quart du XVIIe siècle par l’entremise de prologues allégoriques. Notre objectif est de souligner les applications théoriques de ces prologues ainsi que les enjeux du genre pendant cette période.
Réception des relations de voyage en Nouvelle-France dans quelques histoires littéraires du Québec et du Canada
Authors: Côté Sébastien
Published: June 2019

Dans cet article consacré à la réception institutionnelle du patrimoine lettré de la Nouvelle-France, je me concentre sur ce qu’on a écrit au sujet des relations de voyage dans quelques histoires de la littérature canadienne, canadienne-française et québécoise publiées depuis le XIXe siècle. Peu goûtée par la critique historienne (souvent nationaliste), tant pour son origine exogène que pour sa nature informe et dénuée de prestige, la relation de voyage fait l’objet de commentaires mitigés. À l’aide d’un parcours chronologique et d’exemples contrastés, je dresserai un portrait général de la réception historiographique des œuvres appartenant à ce genre mal aimé.
La ville palimpseste de Louis Sébastien Mercier. Spectralité, histoire et imaginaire temporel
Authors: Boucher Geneviève
Published: June 2019

Si Louis Sébastien Mercier cherche, dans le Tableau de Paris (1781-1788), à saisir sur le vif la physionomie de la capitale, il est aussi appelé à déterrer le passé qui, à l’instar d’un palimpseste, demeure partiellement visible sous la surface actuelle. Une série de spectres, représentants de ce passé révolu mais réanimé, envahissent la ville et apportent sur leur époque un témoignage précieux. Une telle intégration du passé dans le présent devient toutefois problématique après la Révolution. Dans Le Nouveau Paris (1798), le passé monarchique n’est ressuscité que dans des espaces marginaux qui soulignent son altérité; quant au passé terroriste, il est exorcisé par la mise en scène des spectres de ses représentants qui reviennent parmi les vivants pour être soumis au jugement suprême de l’Histoire.
Une mémoire d’olifant. Féerie pour une autre fois et le spectre de Roland
Authors: Wesley Bernabé
Published: June 2019

Féerie pour une autre fois abonde en allusions à toute une littérature historiographique. Au sein de cette vaste bibliothèque, La Chanson de Roland se distingue par le nombre de références et d’allusions mais aussi parce que le personnage de Roland y est une figure d’identification pour le narrateur. En revenant à l’ancêtre médiéval de Féerie, notre analyse ne cherche pas à épuiser la richesse stylistique de cet intertexte ; elle interroge plutôt sa thématisation en un cas de spectralité qui nous informe sur ce qu’est l’écriture célinienne de l’histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
La littérature migrante est-elle soluble dans l’autofiction ?
Authors: Amrit Hélène
Published: June 2019

Tout comme l’autofiction, la littérature migrante est une littérature du sujet qui mêle fiction et biographie. Cet article met au jour d’autres similitudes qui interrogent la littérature migrante tout en révélant les contours et les limites de l’autofiction. Bien que proches, ces littératures appréhendent différemment l’altérité, rendant la littérature migrante non soluble dans le genre autofictionnel. Pourtant, en plaçant le sujet au cœur de leur narration, elles ont toutes deux une même vision de l’humanité qui les inscrit, certes, dans l’histoire du roman, mais aussi dans celle des idées. Ainsi sont-elles liées dans un même mouvement qui pourrait porter le nom d’autofiction.
Era uma vez uma teoria do desenvolvimento econômico: entre contos e crônicas
Authors: Mota Emily Santos
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar como as concepções sobre uma teoria do desenvolvimento econômico é bem heterogênea na seara das escolas ortodoxa e heterodoxa. Enquanto no primeiro grupo as definições estão conectadas com os aspectos quantitativos, modelísticos e matematizados, a segunda escola não abstrai de sua teoria os aspectos quantitativos, mas ao contrário da primeira, acrescenta o caráter qualitativo e histórico nas suas analises. O Desta forma, foi utilizada uma linguagem metafórica para debater e criticar as definições utilizadas por cada grupo.  Para tal análise foi empregada a pesquisa bibliográfica já tinha como objetivo analisar as diversas definições acerca do problema anteriormente apresentado. Conclui-se o referido artigo afirmando que a teoria do desenvolvimento econômico tem uma natureza complexa e subjetiva, em que de um lado tem-se um grupo amparado na simplificação do modelo de crescimento econômico em inúmeros aspectos, dentre os quais vele mencionar a diferença conceitual inexistente entre crescimento e desenvolvimento, a racionalidade do indivíduo, e a problemática da distribuição de renda. E do outro lado tem-se um grupo que se ampara na realidade subjetiva presente no processo de desenvolvimento, amplificando aquilo que está simplificado dentro de modelos limitados que não abordam a complexidade econômica.
Friedrich List (1789-1846) e o Sistema Nacional de Economia Política
Authors: Izepão Rosalina Lima , Brito Elohá Cabreira , Borges Leonel Rodrigues
Published: June 2019

A Alemanha só conseguiu se tornar Estado Nacional em 1871, durante o período de luta por esta unificação que surgiu a Escola Histórica Alemã de economia. Os economistas alemães, pertencentes a tal escola, entendiam que o modelo clássico não servia para a realidade alemã e George Friedrich List, por meio da sua obra “O Sistema Nacional de Economia Política”, deu importantes contribuições para essa escola. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar o pensamento econômico desenvolvido na Confederação Germânica no século XIX, conhecido como Escola Histórica Alemã, até a formação do Estado Nacional Alemão, em 1871, visando verificar as contribuições de List. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa histórico-bibliográfica-descritiva. Para atendimento do objetivo proposto, o trabalho encontra-se estruturado em cinco seções, incluindo a introdução e considerações finais. A segunda seção aborda um breve histórico do processo de unificação da Alemanha. A terceira apresenta o contexto histórico do surgimento da Escola Histórica Alemã, destacando seus pressupostos teóricos mais importantes, e crítica à economia política clássica. A quarta expõe as principais ideias de List, que defendia que o desenvolvimento alemão ocorreria somente através do protecionismo, nacionalismo e um Estado forte e centralizador. A considerações finais ressaltam que no início do século XX a Alemanha se tornou uma das nações mais industrializadas do mundo seguindo estes pressupostos, mostrando que o pensamento de List apontava um caminho efetivo para o desenvolvimento. Hoje, mais de um século depois, seus pensamentos continuam atuais em razão da existência de significativas diferenças entre o nível de desenvolvimento das nações.

Public knowledge about traditional and complementary medicine
Authors: BİLİR KAYA Başak , ŞAHİN Melike
Published: June 2019

Objective:
The aim of this study was to investigate public knowledge about traditional and
complementary medicine. Methods: In a physical medicine
and rehabilitation hospital, questionnaires were administered to 534
volunteers. The questionnaires comprised of questions regarding demographic
data such as age, gender and educational level and 16 additional questions
about traditional and complementary medicine defitions. These definitions were
directly adopted from Ministry of Health Department of Traditional and Complementery
Medical Practices. The results were recorded and statistical analysis were carried
out. Results: The volunteers were 44.6%
male and 55.4% female). Acupuncture definition was known to 57.7% volunteers;
this rate was 26.6% in phytotherapy, 32.2% in apitherapy, 43.4% in hypnosis,
15.2% in hirudotherapy, 28.7% in homeopathy, 11.9% in chiropractic, 32.2% in
cupping therapy, 40.4% in wet cupping therapy, 29% in maggot therapy, 27.3% in
mesotherapy, 18% in prolotherapy, 22.1% in osteopathy, 38.8% in ozone therapy,
40.6% in reflexology, 55.2% in music therapy. Women’s correct answers regarding
hypnosis, reflexology and music therapy were found to be statistically
significantly higher than men. Acupuncture and osteopathy definitions are
better known to 18-30 years old volunteers than volunteers that are older than
65 years of age. Apitherapy, homeopathy, cupping, wet cupping, maggot therapy,
mesotherapy, prolotherapy, ozon therapy, reflexology were less known by the
older population; as the age increased the correct answers for these therapies decreased.
In addition, correct answer ratio increased with the educational level, in
acupuncture, apitherapy, phytotherapy, hypnosis, chariopractic, cupping, wet
cupping, mesotherapy, ozone therapy and reflexology.

Conclusions: The traditional and
complementary therapies need to be explained to the public. Women are more
intersted in some therapies than men. Public knowledge about the definition of
most traditional and complementary therapies increases with educational level.
People with different demographic properties have different levels of awareness
regarding traditional and complementary therapies. For example while elder
people require more basic training about these methods in general, young and
highly educated women who already have some awareness about these methods can
go through more elaborate training programs which are designed to guide them to
benefit more from these therapies.
Leveraging Science to Advance Health Equity: A Regional Health Policy Research Center’s Approach
Authors: Holden Kisha B. , Hopkins Jammie , Belton Allyson , Butty Klahe , Tabor Derrick C. , Satcher David
Published: June 2019

Advancing health equity and reducing disparities through evidence-based policy research requires the expertise, insights, and active participation of various policy stakeholders – particularly those represent­ing vulnerable populations who may be disproportionately affected by such policies. Unfortunately, there are few sustainable settings for these diverse stakeholders to convene, share their knowledge, develop and execute research in a collaborative fashion, and effectively translate evidence-based findings. The development of a health policy-focused center supports the collaborative structure needed to present a unified, multi-disciplinary approach toward informing health policy. The Transdisci­plinary Collaborative Center for Health Disparities Research (TCC) at Morehouse School of Medicine (U54MD008173) was funded in 2012 by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Dispari­ties (NIMHD) as an innovative approach for conducting health policy research and disseminating evidence-based science to diverse stakeholders. This article provides an overview of the research projects, pilot project programs, infrastructure cores, com­munications, and strategic dissemination activities supported by the TCC.

Addressing Health Disparities in Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Authors: Videlefsky Andrea S. , Reznik Jeffrey M. , Nodvin Janice T. , Heiman Harry J.
Published: June 2019

Adults with developmental disabilities are a growing population that experiences significant health disparities due to unmet health care and social needs. Few standard­ized health care guidelines are available or broadly accepted as best practices for this population. The Adult Disability Medical Healthcare (ADMH) is a community-based clinic that provides a unique multidisci­plinary team-based approach to addressing the social and health care needs of adults with developmental disabilities within the framework of a Patient Centered Medical Home model. ADMH is developing the nec­essary research infrastructure and obtaining input from individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and community stakeholders and is performing foundational analysis to inform the development of guidelines for evidence-based best practices for the care of adults with developmental disabilities. This will set the stage for future research evaluating the impact of these guidelines on health outcomes and the reduction of health disparities in this popu­lation. This commentary highlights a process for development of evidence-based guide­lines and best practices for care of adults with developmental disabilities.Ethn Dis. 2019;29(Suppl 2):355-358. doi:10.18865/ed.29.S2.355
Commentary: Collaborative Action on Child Equity: Lessons from the Field
Authors: Reese LeRoy E. , Wrenn Glenda , Dawson Shemeka , Rachel Sharon , Kirkland Yvonne
Published: June 2019

The Collaborative Action on Child Equity (CACE) pursued child-focused program and policy research through the Morehouse School of Medicine’s Transdisciplinary Col­laborative Center (TCC). CACE engaged with partners representing 13 states in the United States to implement the Smart and Secure Children Parent Leadership Program (SSC) and to develop local child-focused Policy Ac­tion Plans. The objectives of SSC are to sup­port the development of parental agency and leadership in order to achieve positive health and academic readiness among school-aged children. Of the 13 partners, 9 were able to successfully implement SSC, with more than 350 parent-peer learners completing the pro­gram. Additionally, several partners were able to successfully develop Policy Action Plans. We discuss our efforts to bring SSC to scale in a national replication effort and to build policy development, implementation and evaluation capacity in organizations serving children and families. We highlight lessons learned in this replication effort and consider their implications for revisions to our training protocols, recruitment and implementation strategies, methods for providing technical assistance and evaluation models. SSC has demonstrated encouraging efficacy results, was developed using community-based participatory research methods and, as such, the lessons learned are critical for how we engage diverse communities to advance positive child development and academic success.Ethn Dis.2019;29(Suppl 2):365-370. doi:10.18865/ed.29.S2.365
Developing a Policy Brief on Child Mental Health Disparities to Promote Strategies for Advancing Equity among Racial/Ethnic Minority Youth
Authors: Butler Ashley M. , Rodgers Caryn R. R.
Published: June 2019

Research has identified a broad range of risk factors during early childhood that have neurobiological consequences and negatively affect children’s mental health. Such risk factors disproportionately affect racial/ethnic minority youth. Disparities in children’s mental health service use have also been documented for minority youth. Yet, compared with the focus on strategies to address health disparities (including men­tal health disparities) during adulthood, very little work has concentrated on addressing the roots of health disparities that occur in childhood. The purpose of this commentary is to describe the development and dissemi­nation of a policy brief for policy advocates. The goal of this work is to help achieve the implementation of evidence-based programs, practices, and policies that target and modify risk factors to reduce disparities in child mental health burden.

A Study on the Feasibility of Vocational Rehabilitation for Older Clients
Authors: Rasch John D.
Published: June 2019

A total of 11,278 rehabilitation clients were studied to determine: (1) if client age predicted rehabilitation out· come, and (2) whether different client age groups received equal amounts of agency monies. The results indicated that older clients were as likely to be successfully rehabilitated as younger clients, and that older clients generally required less case service funds. These results support the feasibility of vocational rehabilitation services for older disabled adults. However, the lower expenditure of agency monies for older clients may indicate a selectivity factor, meaning that only the most feasible older adults are referred or eventually accepted for vocational rehabilitation services.
Issues in the Development and Implementation of a Case Weighting System
Authors: Cooper Paul G. , Harper Jim N.
Published: June 2019

A case weighting system may be defined as an evaluative information system designed to insure equitable recognition of the work performed by rehabilitation service units which serve caseloads with different characteristics. Three types of weights may be considered: individual case weights, caseload weights and case closure weights.

As part of a research project to develop and implement a system for case weighting in a vocational rehabilitation agency, the authors identified and interviewed a group of rehabilitation professionals with experience or knowledge of case weighting systems. These interviews together with a review of the literature suggested several issues to be considered in the development of such systems. These issues include the appropriate uses of case weighting systems, the elements to be included in case weighting, the potential forms of a system, the data sources and potential difficulties expected in the development, Implementation and utilization.

After a comparative review of the roles and functions of the rehabilitation counselor, vocational evaluator, and work adjustment specialist the following discusses: (a) the duties and responsibilities; (b) the knowledges, skills and attitudes and; (c) the work settings peculiar to each of these three groups of professionals. Within its summary and recommendation, the paper suggests that (a) these three professionals should strive toward the same goal—client movement toward vocational independence; (b) these three groups bring a common knowledge base to the rehabilitative process; and (c) each individual professional has refined skills in each of the common knowledge areas. Specific recommendations for facilitating professional integration among these three groups are also included.
Practical Sex Education for the Mentally Retarded: What the Rehabilitation Counselor Needs to Know
Authors: Geist Chrisann S. , Knudsen Chilton , Sorenson Kurt
Published: June 2019

Should sex education be an important topic covered in our planning for independent living for the retarded? Given the fact that many retarded persons have or will be involved in sexual activity, let us take a practical look at some of the issues involved. Birth control information should be delivered and a positive attitude toward one's own body and sexuality in general should be promoted. This article takes a practical approach to these questions, attempts to answer some and creates a few more.
Client Assistance Projects in the Rehabilitation Process
Authors: Woodrich Frank E.
Published: June 2019

In an effort to assure that people with severe disabilities are informed and advised of all rights available to them through the Vocational Rehabilitation Program, Congress established Client Assistance Projects (CAP's) through the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Without assuming an adversary role, these projects attempt to “advocate” for the client having difficulties with vocational rehabilitation services and/or the rehabilitation counselor. Recent federal legislation affecting handicapped people and the emphasis on serving people with severe disabilities, places additional responsibilities on the counselor and the agency which CAP's may effectively relieve. People with disabilities are a heterogeneous group with diverse needs. The mandate of consumer involvement challenges rehabilitation professionals and CAP's to find methods of tapping consumer expertise to develop and implement programs responsive to the needs of people with disabilities.
Independent Living Rehabilitation for Blind-Multihandicapped Persons
Authors: Counts Robert T. , Opdahl Chris A.
Published: June 2019

In 1973, Congress mandated that the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) investigate the independent living needs of severely disabled people. The authority for this activity is contained in Section 130 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112). Six demonstration projects were funded as a result of this mandate. The Texas State Commission for the Blind was awarded a grant to investigate independent living for blind-multihandicapped people in the San Antonio area. The project had two main objectives: (a) to provide in-depth training to clients; and (b) to secure involvement of community social service systems to augment each client's Written Independent Living Program (WILP). This article describes the social service systems needed and utilized by this projects clients and examples of clients served. This article concludes with a description of Title VII (Comprehensive Service for Independent Living) of P. L. 95-602 signed into law by President Carter on November 6, 1978.
Sexual Counseling for Persons with Spinal Cord Injuries: A Literature Review
Authors: Kaplan Steven
Published: June 2019

This article is a summary of a comprehensive literature search in the area of sexual counseling for persons with spinal cord injuries. It presents and analyzes some of this literature on the basis of historical significance of the various writings from 1948 to 1978 and specific counseling techniques advocated by these writings. A critique of the literature, focusing on the lack of research in this field, the lack of literature directed at the counseling of women with spinal injuries, and the lack of training for rehabilitation professionals in the sexual adjustment of the person with a spinal injury is given. Recommendations for improvements in this field are outlined. The publications cited in this article directly apply to the counseling of the spinal injured client for sexual adjustment, and focus on the psychosocial aspects of sexuality as it relates to this client group. An extensive bibliography is included.
Perceived Outcome Priorities in a State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency
Authors: Cooper Paul G. , Harper J. N. , Davis Stephanie
Published: June 2019

As part of a project to develop a system for weighting case closures, a survey was conducted among the service delivery personnel of a state vocational rehabilitation agency to assess the perceived agency priority of 12 different types of successful rehabilitation. The results of the survey indicated that agency personnel do indeed perceive a hierarchy of desirable outcomes. Additionally, supervisors, counselors, and clerical staff all seemed to have a fairly consistent perception of the priority system. The results of the survey for counselors and supervisors were used to generate a system of weights to be assigned to the different types of closures such that those higher priority closures would receive more weight than those closures with lower priority.

A 12-year follow-up survey was conducted to assess the vocational and psychosocial adjustment of 225 former clients of the Hot Springs Rehabilitation Center (HSRC). Data collected at admission to and discharge from HSRC suggested that the clients were generally the more difficult rehabilitation cases and that most were only marginally successful in achieving their rehabilitation goals. Among the major findings of the follow-up survey were: (a) 56% of the ex-clients were working at follow-up and 73% had held some employment since leaving HSRC, (b) 49% of the ex-clients who were working at follow-up had been employed on the same job for 5 years or longer, (c) 60% of the working ex-clients believed that VR services were helpful in getting their jobs, (d) 73% of the former clients were not employed in occupations directly related to the vocational training that they had received at HSRC, (e) 47% of the unemployed ex-clients indicated that they had received no encouragement from their families in their efforts to become employed, (f) 60% of the unemployed ex-clients were receiving some form of public assistance, compared to 6% of the working ex-clients, and (g) counselors' ratings of psychosocial and vocational goal attainment and overall adjustment at HSRC were significant predictors of work status at follow-up and 12-year employment history. The article concludes with 10 brief case vignettes and a list of 35 significant findings.
Vocational Rehabilitation During Economic Recession
Authors: Matkin Ralph E.
Published: June 2019

A predicted economic recession has been forecasted for the early 1980s which projects an increased unemployment rate and budgetary reductions for both state and federal programs. Rehabilitation counselors will be faced with the responsibility of following the mandates of the Rehabilitation Amendments of 1978 with less funding, greater service costs, and reduced employment opportunities for the handicapped clients served. Counselors must be prepared to apply their knowledge and training to an expanded handicapped population while, at the same time, developing cost-effective means within the community for service delivery to their clients.
A Point of Convergence in the Evaluation of Rehabilitation Counselor Education (RCE) Program
Authors: Dellario Donald J.
Published: June 2019

The current state of the art of Rehabilitation Counselor Education (RCE) program objectives and evaluative criteria presents a picture of ambiguity. A point of convergence that ties together competency-based, performance-based, professionally-based and accountability-based criteria is necessary so that RCE programs can be judged fairly and equitably. An RCE meta-objective is proposed that can serve as this point of convergence.
Applying a Systems View to Placement and Career Services in Rehabilitation: A Survey
Authors: Vandergoot David , Swirsky Jessica
Published: June 2019

This article reports a survey of 33 vocational rehabilitation programs. An effort was made to determine the focus these programs had on placement, and further, whether longer-range career enhancement was at all considered. In order to look at these programs from as wide an angle as possible, a political systems view of organizations was applied. Components of such systems include a) technology, b) individuals, c) group processes, d) administration, and e) external linkages. Results and conclusions are presented in each of these areas. Suggestions for restructuring programs to better accommodate placement and career enhancement are offered.
The Rehabilitation Counselor's Role in the Sexual Adjustment of the Handicapped Client: The Need for Trained Professionals
Authors: Ames Thomas-Robert H. , Boyle Pamela S.
Published: June 2019

Sexual feelings and needs of disabled individuals have frequently been ignored during the rehabilitation process by rehabilitation professionals. Sexuality is now identified as an integral part of every persons life. This includes the physically and mentally disabled. Rehabilitation counselors have a responsibility to provide sexuality counseling and education to their clients within the rehabilitation framework. This article suggests ways that rehabilitation counselors can prepare themselves to respond to their clients' sexual questions, concerns and needs. A very practical counseling model is outlined and a list of resources is provided.
Creativity and Innovation in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling
Authors: Mund Seymour J.
Published: June 2019

Over the years the special expertise that vocational rehabilitation counselors have shown has been through their ability to develop and create unique ways of helping the handicapped. Vocational rehabilitation successes have depended in large measure on a counselor's inventiveness in finding new approaches to what others have seen as unsolvable problems. Now as never before there is a need for these innate abilities to be used. Techniques of getting good referrals, enhancing services and developing community relationships as well as placement methods are discussed. Examples of new and different approaches to vocational rehabilitation counseling are explored.
Psychosocial Assessment in Rehabilitation
Authors: Akridge Robert L.
Published: June 2019

A conceptual model defining the parameters of psychosocial assessment from the client's perspective was presented. This four-factor self-in-situation model is organized in terms of surveying major sources of satisfaction and of dissatisfaction with self and with the personally relevant aspects of one's situation. A literature review revealed a preponderance of instruments relating to sources of self-dissatisfaction, and some relatively recent attempts to assess sources of satisfaction and of dissatisfaction with relevant aspects of one's situation. The Human Service Scale was reviewed as the best current instrument relating to these three dimensions, but little systematic attempt to assess basic life skills which are believed to be major sources of self-satisfaction, was found in the literature.

The development of a life skills assessment device, The Psychosocial Development Matrix (PDM), was summarized. The total of the three PDM sub-scores—self-control, interpersonal relations, and life planning, which summarize major dimensions of self-satisfaction, along with the Human Service Scale, wich contains items relating to the self-dissatisfaction, situation dissatisfaction, and situation satisfaction dimensions was proposed as a comprehensive self-assessment in the psychosocial domain.
Accountability: The Case Review Process in Rehabilitation
Authors: Brenes Lana C. , McFarlane Fred R.
Published: June 2019

The intent of this paper is to provide a conceptual and assumptive framework for the development and implementation of the Case Review Schedule (CRS) Process. Next, a historical perspective is offered, tracing the development of the CRS Process over the five-year period. Against this background, the components of the CRS Process are discussed, and the first six-month period of national exposure (1979) is highlighted to illustrate implementation of the CRS Process. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are offered concerning future applications of the CRS Process and relevant accountability issues that the rehabilitation community must address.

The Professional Status of Rehabilitation Counseling in State/Federal Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies
Authors: Lynch Ross K. , McSweeney Kathleen
Published: June 2019

Rehabilitation counseling in the State/Federal vocational rehabilitation agencies was empirically examined with respect to traditional professional status criteria. Sixty-eight administrators of State agencies were surveyed regarding hiring procedures, promotional procedures, certification and licensure, Civil Service classification, and employee unions. Results indicated that minimum educational requirements are variable, hiring is frequently based on subjective determinants, certification and licensure requirements are rarely employed and their future appears bleak, the career ladder for rehabilitation counselors is quite short, and there appears to be a large and expanding move toward unionism. Recommendations are presented for improvement of professional status with respect to the weaknesses identified.
Program Evaluation in Independent Living Rehabilitation
Authors: Roessler Richard T.
Published: June 2019

This paper presents an overview of evaluation questions and techniques appropriate for independent living programs. Key evaluation questions focus on the extent to which the independent living program is a) accomplishing its stated objectives, b) enabling individuals to increase functional capabilities in physical, economic, psychosocial, and educational-vocational areas, and c) increasing access to the physical and social environment for individuals with severe disabilities. Accomplishments in these areas should also have a positive relationship to the satisfaction that the individual has with the services provided. Hence, efficiency and effectiveness of program operation, client outcomes, environmental change, and client satisfaction with services are dimensions along which independent living programs should be assessed.
Rehabilitation's Unheralded Partner: Economics
Authors: Rule Warren R. , Wright Keith C.
Published: June 2019

Many rehabilitation professionals seem to be unaware of the closely intertwined relationship between rehabilitation and economics. Overlooking fundamental economic assumptions in this partnership leads to misunderstanding and mismanagement. Discussion is given to the nature and implications of these oversights for rehabilitation. Areas included are: limited resources and choices, competition and cooperation, equality and freedom, and unspoken indebtedness.
Validation: The Missing Link In Case Review
Authors: Roessler Richard T.
Published: June 2019

Case review represents a promising approach for evaluating the performance of state agency rehabilitation counselors. In some states. this review is conducted via one of several comprehensive systems (Brenes & McFarlane. 1976; Cowie & McCarthy. 1979). In other states, the agency itself has devised a case review method suited to its particular needs. Regardless of their genesis, case review procedures assess the degree to which the counselor's case documentation renects compliance with certain legislative and assumed qualitative requirements for rehabilitation counseling. Hence, case review has a certain degree of content validity. However, no validity evidence of a more compelling nature; e.g., predictive, concurrent, or construct; exists for these approaches. Therefore, this paper describes the methodology for a series of validity studies which should be given high priority in further efforts to refine the case review process. Validating evidence from case review studies would result in more appropriate assessment, supervision, and training of state agency rehabilitation counselors.
Client Feedback: A Valuable Source of Counselor Development
Authors: Emener William , Placido Denise
Published: June 2019

Professional literature documents the importance of consumerism in rehabilitation service delivery. It is proposed that the use of systematic client feedback in the evaluation of rehabilitation counselors is a valuable, but untapped, source of counselor development. A proposed-, systematic-, client feedback-, rehabilitation counselor evaluation model, its potential strengths and weaknesses, prototype instrumentation based on information gathered from a sample of 25 rehabilitation clients, and the pro's and con's of implementation alternatives, are presented. The opinions and recommendations of 52 rehabilitation professionals attending a National Rehabilitation Counseling Association Conference Program, and concluding recommendations for research and implementation are offered.
