Marriage
Authors: Robles Theodore F. , Kane Heidi S. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractFor most adults, marriage is a key social relationship that provides economic, social, psychological, and health benefits. At the same time, low marital quality and high conflict have detrimental effects on health. This chapter reviews evidence for immune mechanisms that may explain how marital functioning influences health. Poor marital functioning is related to enhanced innate immunity and diminished adaptive immunity, in a similar direction as the effects of chronic stress. Biobehavioral mechanisms that explain how marital functioning influences immunity include health behaviors; psychological mechanisms including depression, social rejection, and social support; and neuroendocrine mechanisms. Female gender and older age may magnify the effects of marital functioning on immunity, although more research is needed. Key directions for future research on marriage and immunity include further explicating biopsychosocial mechanisms, expanding the sociodemographic range of couples in marriage and immunity research, studying couples outside the laboratory, and incorporating couples intervention research.
Psychoneuroimmunology and Cancer: Biobehavioral Influences on Tumor Progression
Authors: Lutgendorf Susan K. , Costanzo Erin S. , Sood Anil K. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis chapter examines the role of psychosocial factors and stress-related neuroendocrine hormones in cancer progression. The neuroendocrine stress response appears to play a key role in modulating physiological pathways relevant to cancer progression. These include tumor angiogenesis, invasion, anoikis, inflammation, the cellular immune response, and various cell-signaling pathways. These stress-response pathways also potentially interact with cancer treatments. Bidirectional influences of tumor-derived cytokines and other molecules on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and CNS processes are also discussed along with implications for disease progression and survival. These mechanisms point to emerging possibilities for psychosocial, pharmacological, and integrative medicine interventions that have the potential to alter stress-response signaling pathways in cancer.
Regulation of Target System Sensitivity in Neuroinflammation: Role of GRK2 in Chronic Pain
Authors: Kavelaars Annemieke , Carbajal Anibal Garza , Heijnen Cobi J. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractScientists and clinicians have long used the level of hormones or the level of inflammatory mediators as an important parameter of functional activity of the neuro-endocrine or immune system. However, not much focus has been given to the role of the sensitivity of the target tissue, such as receptors or components of the intracellular signalosome. This is important because, as recent literature has shown, the sensitivity of the target tissue may change during pathological processes such as inflammation or chronic stress. This chapter focuses on changes in sensitivity of target tissue by focussing on a kinase known as G protein receptor kinase 2 (GRK2), which appears to be an important regulator of the severity and duration of inflammatory pain. GRK2 regulates the sensitivity of target systems, including immune and nervous systems, for signals given by G protein-coupled receptors via regulating receptor desensitization. In addition, GRK2 regulates intracellular signaling via direct effects on elements of the signalosome of the cell. The contribution of GRK2 to chronic pain is discussed in the context of the idea that regulation of the sensitivity of target systems is an important process during neuro-inflammation and should be taken into account when investigating neuro-immune communication in inflammatory pathologies.
Stress Management, PNI, and Disease
Authors: Antoni Michael H. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAs our understanding of the immunologic processes that underlie the vulnerability to certain infectious, neoplastic, and inflammatory diseases and other immunoregulatory conditions has grown so too has the empirical basis relating psychosocial processes and stress physiology to these same immunologic processes. This provides a rationale for first examining the influence of stress processes on disease risk and disease course, and second for the development of interventions to mitigate stress processes in persons at risk for, or managing a wide range of diseases where the immune system plays some role in health outcomes. This chapter will summarize the state of the field of research examining the effects of stress management-based interventions on psychoneuroimmunologic (PNI) processes and health outcomes using a few examples of diseases involving some type of immune system alteration.
A History of Prevention in Counseling Psychology
Authors: Conyne Robert K. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract This chapter’s two tables present illustrative markers of prevention events that have occurred within counseling psychology and within prevention per se. These markers are addressed selectively in the chapter’s narrative, which is organized sequentially as follows: (1) “Early Antecedents”; (2) “A Decade of Fomentation: The 1960s”; (3) “Prevention Emerges in the 1970s”; (4) “Prevention Expands: 1980s–Current,” with attention to 1980–1989, 1990–1999, 2000–2010; and (5) “Future Directions.” The thesis is that prevention in counseling psychology remains an artifact of hope. Although impressive scholarly production has occurred at an increasing pace since around 1985 and the Society of Counseling Psychology has formalized its support of prevention through its Prevention Section, “real world” demonstrations of gains—through training curricula, research, and employment—suggest that prevention remains still on the outside looking in. Yet due largely to the noticeable increase in prevention professional literature and to passage of health care reform legislation, the time for prevention in counseling psychology may finally have come—though we should be mindful that we’ve heard that refrain sung before.
Prevention in the 21st Century
Authors: Romano John L. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract The importance of prevention and the future of prevention research and applications in the 21st century are explored in this chapter. Specifically, eight areas that promise to be important for the future growth and development of prevention science in the years ahead are reviewed. The eight areas are: evidence-supported prevention practices, prevention and neuroscience and genetics, prevention and technology, prevention and elder populations, education and training for prevention, economics of prevention, prevention in health care settings, and multidisciplinary and community partnerships. Each of these areas is reviewed emphasizing prevention psychology generally, and counseling psychology specifically. Examples are provided for roles for psychology, and the potential for prevention research and interventions. The chapter discusses the importance of psychologists collaborating with professionals from other disciplines to understand how advances in new knowledge will affect prevention science in the future, not only in the United States but also internationally.
Best Practice Guidelines on Prevention
Authors: Hage Sally M. , Schwartz Jonathan , Murray Michelle 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
Abstract The health care system in the United States is shifting toward a focus on prevention. Several reasons account for this shift, including staggering health care costs and research indicating many illnesses are preventable through behavioral interventions. Hence, increasing evidence linking mental and physical health outcomes make the involvement of psychologists crucial in promoting a prevention orientation within the health care system. Counseling psychologists have been leaders in the development and ratification of a set of prevention practice guidelines for psychologists. These guidelines, entitled Prevention Science and Practice Guidelines for Psychologists, provide an aspirational model for best practice in the area of prevention. This chapter aims to further psychologists’ and other mental health care professionals’ understanding and application of the principles of the Prevention Guidelines (APA, Under Review) to their work. Specific examples of model programs in areas of psychological practice, research, training, and social advocacy illustrate each of the prevention guidelines.
Advocacy and Prevention
Authors: Pieterse Alex L. , Hanus Alexa E. , Gale Michael M. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract The impact of environmental factors on psychological functioning has received much attention in the psychological literature and has expanded the scholarship on mental heath beyond individual-level variables and intrapsychic processes. The current chapter therefore reviews the role of societal oppression on the psychological functioning of individuals from historically marginalized groups. In addition the chapter frames prevention as an important social justice tool that can be used in order to facilitate the well-being of individuals and groups who continue to experience oppression based on such factors as race, sexual orientation, and gender. The chapter concludes by providing a case illustration of social justice–based prevention as it applies to antiracism advocacy.
Suicide Prevention in Counseling Psychology
Authors: Rogers James R. , Benson Kathleen M. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract The purpose of this chapter is to provide a critical analysis of the status of suicide prevention in the United States and as an area of attention in counseling psychology. Following our analysis of prevention from universal and selected levels, we identify some of the major obstacles to effective prevention efforts and present an argument for a greater need for involvement from counseling psychologists. Identified areas of counseling psychology expertise that can be brought to bear on suicide prevention activities include theory development, application of diverse methodologies in research, psychometrics, and the field’s strength-based philosophy and emerging attention to the importance of fostering resilient communities.
Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence
Authors: Davidson M. Meghan , Schwartz Jonathan , Waldo Michael 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects millions of people in the United States each year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010 ; Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000 ) with devastating consequences. Prevention efforts aimed at IPV are urgently needed. This chapter will delineate critical definitions, theories of IPV etiology, and IPV prevalence. Examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention interventions aimed at IPV will be provided. Suggestions for future directions of IPV prevention efforts are provided.
Ameliorating Cancer Disparities in Medically Underserved Women
Authors: Buki Lydia P. , Montoya Yadira , Linares Deborah E. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract There is an increasing awareness of inequities in cancer outcomes for marginalized populations. A great number of these health disparities arise in the context of adverse psychosocial conditions. Thus, there is a need to focus on the psychosocial context in which disparities arise. In this chapter, we first introduce our readers to some key factors that make our work in this area imperative. Second, we present an overview of breast and cervical cancer disparities and the main factors that influence screening in medically underserved populations. Third, given the need to anchor prevention efforts in the communities in which disparities arise, as well as the need to involve community participants in the design and implementation of prevention programs, we describe the community readiness model. Finally, we discuss the use of lay health advisors as a community-based intervention that has been widely used to increase cancer screening rates in medically underserved populations.
A Life Skills, Community-Based Approach for Helping Returning Service Members and Their Families
Authors: Danish Steven J. 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
Abstract Veterans who experience a variety of stressors without accompanying psychopathology generally feel misunderstood and separate from both their families and communities, as well as from the VA system of care. The purpose of this chapter is fourfold. First, I will describe the development of a strength-based framework that serves as the basis for our approach to communities and people. Second, I will explain how this framework came to be used with service members and their families. Third, I will provide an example of how an individual without military experience is able to involve himself in military issues using a community-based approach. Fourth, I will detail several community-based programs that employ the strength-based framework I have adopted with the military. My hope is that counseling psychologists will realize how their training and philosophy can have a positive impact with a population that can benefit from our perspective.
Promoting Mental Health in Asian Immigrants
Authors: Ma Pei-Wen Winnie , Shea Munyi , Yeh Christine J. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract This chapter focuses on promoting mental health among Asian immigrants. First, we provide background information about this growing and diverse community. Next, we discuss cultural adjustment, underuse of mental health services, and why it is important to develop services for Asian immigrants. We then describe the major factors that contribute to Asian immigrants’ mental health, including acculturation, social support, and spirituality, as well as Asian immigrants’ use of collectivistic coping strategies. Finally, implications for prevention programs, research, and education are discussed.
Dismantling the Bird Cage
Authors: Haley Melinda , Adams Eve , Dickson Ginger , Hitter Tracie , Luna Laura 
Published: February 2013

AbstractAbstract This chapter explores the pervasiveness of heterosexism and its impact on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) population. In particular, we discuss the negative impact heterosexist beliefs and behaviors have on LGBT individuals at the societal, institutional, and individual levels in order to help counseling psychologists examine their own heterosexism, and/or complacency with the heterosexist discourse in our society and profession. After assessing the psychological, physical, and behavioral consequences that are associated with heterosexism and reviewing the scant literature on prevention efforts, we make suggestions regarding the steps counseling psychologists can take to enhance prevention efforts at these various levels. Finally, we highlight several areas in which empirical knowledge or action is lacking and provide stimulating questions to help focus future research and practice efforts in the prevention of heterosexism.

Forecasting Breaks and Forecasting During Breaks
Authors: Castle Jennifer L. , Fawcett Nicholas W. P. , Hendry David F. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article, which proposes a new approach to forecasting breaks by focusing on the role of information, begins by outlining the eight conditions that are necessary to successfully forecast a break. Section 2 then considers the concepts of unpredictability and information to address the first necessary condition. Section 3 separates information into two distinct sets, namely the regular economic forces affecting agents' behavior, and potentially very different information from politics, law, financial innovation, or technology, about events that cause sudden shifts in the regular determinants. Section 4 provides an overview of some potential sources for this second source of information in the context of economics. Having established the potential satisfaction of the first three conditions, Section 5 considers how to formulate a relevant (nonlinear) model class. Section 6 discusses model selection. Section 7 investigates forecasting breaks and forecasting during breaks. Section 8 draws some implications for economic modeling, forecasting, and policy analysis, while Section 9 concludes.
Multiple Forecast Model Evaluation
Authors: Corradi Valentina , Distaso Walter 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article focuses on recent developments in the forecasting literature on how to simultaneously control both the overall error rate and the contribution of irrelevant models. As a novel contribution, it derives a general class of superior predictive ability tests, which controls for family-wise error rate (FWER) and the contribution of irrelevant models. The article is organized as follows. Section 2 defines the setup. Section 3 reviews the approaches that control for the conservative FWER. Section 4 considers a general class of tests characterized by multiple joint inequalities. Section 5 presents results allowing for control of the less conservative false discovery rate. Section 6 considers the model confidence set approach and offers a simple alternative that reduces the influence of irrelevant models in the initial set. Section 7 briefly reviews the empirical evidence, while Section 8 concludes.
Forecasting Volatility Using High-Frequency Data
Authors: Hansen Peter Reinhard , Lunde Asger 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article focuses on some aspects of high-frequency data and their use in volatility forecasting. High-frequency data can be used to construct volatility forecasts. The article reviews two leading approaches to this. One approach is the reduced-form forecast, where the forecast is constructed from a time series model for realized measures, or a simple regression-based approach such as the heterogeneous autoregressive model. The other is based on more traditional discrete-time volatility models that include a modeling of returns. Such models can be generalized to utilize information provided by realized measures. The article also discusses how volatility forecasts, produced by complex volatility models, can benefit from high-frequency data in an indirect manner, through the use of realized measures to facilitate and improve the estimation of complex models.

AbstractThis article, which reviews the modeling and forecasting of energy commodities prices, with a particular focus on spot electricity prices, describes the complexities of the market and price formation, and the models that are used for forecasting in the face of these complexities. It also notes the need to adopt methods that allow for adaptation in the face of a changing environment.
Hired Men and Hired Women
Authors: Marsh John 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article identifies poets' engagements with material problems of manual labor that a more elitist critical aesthetic had preferred to ignore. It offers readings of two of the mostly frequently anthologized poems in the modern American poetry canon: Robert Frost's “The Death of the Hired Man” and T. S. Eliot's “Preludes.” Each can suggest the integral but long-neglected role that the labor problem and those who lived it—that is, the poor and working class—would play in the formation of canonical modern American poetry. Although they confront vastly different labor problems—hired laborers versus urban slums and prostitutes—both poems nevertheless wrestle with the claims such problems (and the human figures behind such problems) should make upon observers' sympathies.
