Dialectical behaviour therapy for special populations: treatment with adolescents and their caregivers
Authors: Charlton Margaret , Dykstra Eric J. 
Published: October 2011

PurposeThis paper aims to present preliminary findings regarding the types of adaptations made to dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and their effectiveness in working with a population who have both intellectual disabilities and mental illnesses.Design/methodology/approachA pilot study conducted with adolescent clients in a day treatment program was completed in an effort to determine the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy for special populations (DBT‐SP). The study utilized all three components of DBT, in addition to the normal milieu management techniques. As such, clients received DBT‐SP focused individual therapy, skills training groups using the DBT‐SP skills training manual, and the whole treatment team staff participated in a DBT‐SP supervision/consultation group. Observations of client behavior by staff, client outcome when leaving the program, and daily diary card information was collected.FindingsAlthough there are a number of issues that must be addressed when providing psychotherapy to individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental illnesses, many psychotherapeutic techniques are effective if they are suitably modified (Bütz et al., 2000; Nezu and Nezu, 1994) as has been found with DBT‐SP.Research limitations/implicationsAs with most pilot studies, there are many limitations to the data. While each client serves as his/her own control, there is no random control group as all the youths receive DBT‐SP. Further, DBT‐SP is used in conjunction with other techniques and the study lacks the ability to control for any additional factors in the students' environment that may influence their behavior. In addition, clients enter and leave the program at different times, and so the data gathered can be hard to interpret. Thus, far, the data are suggestive, but not conclusive, regarding the effectiveness of DBT‐SP.Originality/valueThe information in this paper will be useful to therapists providing treatment to clients with intellectual disabilities and mental illnesses.
Cognitive behavioural therapy for adults with autism spectrum disorder
Authors: Gaus Valerie L. 
Published: October 2011

PurposeWith the rise in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), affected adults may increasingly seek help from psychotherapists for problems managing daily life, including struggles with social functioning and self‐direction. These patients often have co‐morbid disorders for which there are evidence‐based protocols in the literature on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This paper aims to provide guidance to psychotherapists serving these adults.Design/methodology/approachRecently, there has been no outcome research on CBT with adult ASD, but there is evidence from separate literatures on cognitive functioning in ASD and CBT for non‐autistic adults that can inform treatment for this population. Based on that evidence, this paper provides a psychotherapy model that can be applied to any patient with ASD who has enough verbal ability and interest to engage in regular sessions with a psychotherapist.FindingsPeople with ASD process information in an idiosyncratic way, and their differences are likely at play in the social problems they report.Practical implicationsCBT approaches are designed to teach people how to monitor their own thoughts and perceptions in order to become more aware of interpretive errors and to target those that are associated with mood and anxiety problems.Originality/valueExtra attention to skill development is needed in this population, especially in the broad categories of social and coping skills. This paper offers a discussion of the primary objectives of CBT with examples of techniques that are particularly helpful for patients with ASD, and concludes that with modifications and extra attention to skill‐building, these approaches can be successful with adults with ASD.
Psychotherapy with families impacted by intellectual disability, throughout the lifespan
Authors: Hill‐Weld Judith 
Published: October 2011

PurposeThis paper seeks to describe the value of utilizing family systems theory as a meta‐theory in psychotherapy with persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, at different stages of the family life cycle.Design/methodology/approachFamily systems theory prioritizes the reciprocal impact of the familial group and the individual. As people with intellectual and developmental disabilities often sustain high involvement with their families throughout their lives, family systems theory might be especially relevant to their mental health treatment. In addition, because people with intellectual and developmental disabilities often live in family‐like group settings and systems theory can be applied to family‐like groups, the theory is potentially even more widely applicable.FindingsThe case studies presented describe cases in which persons with intellectual disabilities or their families presented in psychotherapy with mental health or behavioral symptoms. The cases delineate the depathologizing effect of applying a family systems filter to the presenting problems, and the unique ways in which presenting problems may be more effectively addressed by shifting the group dynamics rather than treating only the individual symptoms.Originality/valueFamily systems theory is a well established school of psychotherapeutic treatment, but its value in treating individuals with intellectual disabilities is not well documented or explained. While there is literature on the challenges faced by families impacted by intellectual disability, there is little information, particularly in the USA, about the application of family systems theory to the dynamics of such families or about the benefit to the individual with intellectual disability of this approach to psychotherapy.
A positive couple therapy model: improving relationships for people with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Dale Munro J. 
Published: October 2011

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss a model of couple intervention that has been specifically developed for helping people with intellectual disabilities who are experiencing relationship problems.Design/methodology/approachAmong other suggestions, the model recommends assessing and working not only with the couple, but also with extended family and the service system. An agency staff, familiar with the couple, is frequently asked to act as co‐therapist.FindingsPrivate couple therapy sessions have proven extremely valuable, along with specific strategies that focus on management of issues such as anger and jealousy, sexuality issues, ways partners can complement and compensate for each other's weaknesses, healthy boundary‐setting, having fun, and utilizing psychiatric consultation if necessary.Originality/valueThere is almost no other clinical literature on this topic. This paper offers practical suggestions and is quite unique in the field.
Group psychotherapy for trauma‐related disorders in people with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Razza Nancy J. , Tomasulo Daniel J. , Sobsey Dick 
Published: October 2011

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is threefold: to summarize data on rates of sexual abuse and interpersonal trauma in people with intellectual disability (ID); to demonstrate the relationship between such trauma and psychological distress; and to describe a promising treatment technique for such exposed individuals.Design/methodology/approachA review of the literature on rates of abuse and trauma among people with ID is presented with particular attention paid to the role of developmental level in both the experience and impact of trauma. Drawing from this understanding of the phenomenology of traumatic exposure in people with ID, the authors present a theoretical framework for psychotherapeutic intervention.FindingsThis paper establishes the inverse relationship between the higher‐than‐average rates of trauma and interpersonal violence in the ID population, co‐occurring with lower‐than‐average access to treatment, and lower‐than‐average treatment model development for this population. Further, this paper provides a description of a theoretically based therapeutic intervention with preliminary research efficacy.Practical implicationsThis paper documents three key areas in need of attention in order to reduce the suffering of people with ID: the need to address the high rates of exposure to abuse; the importance of taking into account developmental level when assessing the impact of potentially traumatic experiences; and the efficacy of the interactive‐behavioral model of group psychotherapy for people with ID who have trauma‐related distress.Originality/valueThis paper points to the need for systematic efforts to reduce the rate of traumatic exposure to which people with ID are disproportionately exposed. Moreover, it establishes how important the role of developmental level is in understanding how exposure to abuse may result in the development of psychological disorders. Finally, this paper provides a clear understanding of a targeted therapeutic approach and the need for a system of accessible care so that afflicted individuals may have the benefit of such therapy.
“I Tote and I Vote”: Australian live music and cultural policy
Authors: Homan Shane 
Published: October 2011

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine recent government policies that have had direct and indirect effects upon Australian live music venues.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides a review of relevant government policies relating to live music and a case study approach examining live music's role in concepts of the “creative city”.FindingsPolicy affecting venues remains tied to wider governmental notions of risk management. The rise of evidence‐based research about venue activity is one effective means of negating instinctive policies that regard live music activity as simply problematic to night‐time economies.Originality/valueThe paper reveals the current debates and practical obstacles facing live music venues. Its Australian case studies are relevant to similar global debates in the live music industries, and how live music is marketed as part of “creative city” and “cultural city” campaigns.
Typological trends in contemporary popular music performance venues
Authors: Kronenburg Robert 
Published: October 2011

PurposeThis paper seeks to explore the design of popular music performance space, focusing particularly on recent developments that are changing the form and operation of permanent venues and travelling stages. Its objective is to analyse the typology of existing venues but also to chart the emergence of new and distinct building forms in response to changing artist, promoter and audience demands.Design/methodology/approachThe paper investigates the factors that determine the architecture of live performance space, based on the research project's detailed examination of specific examples that range from small music clubs to large and complex stadium‐sized buildings. The paper introduces the research themes that have shaped the author's book Live Architecture: Popular Music Venues, Stages and Arenas, which will be published in 2011.FindingsThe paper proposes a new categorisation of buildings as; adopted, adapted and dedicated music performance environments, and explores the significance of mobile facilities as architecture in their own right, but also as a modifier of place and space. It identifies factors that are changing the scale and operation of performance venues and articulates the implications for new venues.Originality/valueThis paper presents a continuing research project that is examining for the first time popular music performance building design as a distinct architectural genre. It proposes for the first time a building typology in order to increase our understanding of how the most successful spaces have been created, and how future ones might safeguard live music's power and immediacy for its audiences.
Music festival sponsorship: between commerce and carnival
Authors: Anderton Chris 
Published: October 2011

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the cultural heritage of outdoor rock and pop music festivals in Britain since the mid‐1960s, and relates it to developments in, and critiques of, corporate sponsorship in the contemporary music festival sector.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses extant research materials to construct an account of British music festival history since the mid‐1960s. It then draws upon Bakhtin's concept of the carnivalesque and the literature on sponsorship, experiential marketing and branding, in order to understand critiques of corporate sponsorship and the changing nature of the sector.FindingsOutdoor rock and pop music festivals were dominated by the ideologies of a “countercultural carnivalesque” from the late 1960s until the mid‐1990s. In the 1990s, changes in legislation began a process of professionalization, corporatization, and a reliance on brand sponsorships. Two broad trajectories are identified within the contemporary sector: one is strongly rooted in the heritage of the countercultural carnivalesque, while the other is more overtly commercial.Research limitations/implicationsIt is argued that experiential marketing and brand activation are key methods for achieving a balance between the competing aspects of commerce and carnival. Hence, festival organisers and sponsors need to understand the history of the sector and of their own events and attendees in order to use corporate sponsorship more effectively.Originality/valueThis paper adds historical and theoretical depth to the debate between commerce and carnival within the music festival sector, and makes connections between cultural theory and the literature on sponsorship and branding.
Bharat Petroleum Company Limited's (BPCL), India one-stop truck shop (OSTS) retailing format
Authors: D'Rozario Denver , Shenoy Keshav 
Published: October 2011

Subject area
Retailing.

Study level/applicability
Undergraduate and Master's level business and management courses.

Case overview
This case looks at the second largest oil company in India (Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL)) and examines an innovative services marketing concept that they introduced into the market in India for the first time, namely, one-stop truck shops. These new format truck-stops were targeted at the highway-based truckers in India who earlier had to stop off at multiple locations to eat and re-fuel increasing their on-road time and reducing their efficiency, much to the chagrin of their truck-fleet owners.

Expected learning outcomes
Students will be expected to build their knowledge of retailing in developing markets using the example of BPCL as a learning tool. The case examines differences in consumer behavior in developed vs developing markets, paying particular attention to the required need to differentiate the retail approach to suit the market.

China's Rippo of Zippo: expanding the costs of pirated intellectual property
Authors: Amar A. D. 
Published: October 2011

Subject area
International business; business ethics; international trade law; intellectual property

Study level/applicability
Undergraduate and Master's level courses in Business and Management, particularly with a focus on international trade.

Case overview
This case covers the issues that surround piracy of intellectual property by highlighting illegal manufacture and distribution of millions of Zippo brand windproof lighters and considers the seriousness of the large-scale theft of intellectual property by civilized nations. The focus of this case is on the additional victimization of the producers of genuine products, mostly European and American, who have the policy of life-time repair-or-replace warrantee, which by extension, although wrongly, becomes applicable to their counterfeits. Some micro and macro aspects are covered in detail, some are alluded to, while others are left out for the teachers of this case to justify considering the local logic and culture.

Expected learning outcomes
There are major lessons embedded in this case: first, intellectual piracy is not less than the theft of tangible property. Second, the problem of piracy carried out by large, civilized countries is really serious because of its huge size. Third, if the rights of those developing innovation are not protected and they cut their investments in R&D, the consequence will hurt all people in the world – emerging and developed.

BioScience Argentina: BioMobile and the telemedicine market.
Subject area – Marketing and strategic decision making. Study level/applicability – Undergraduate business and management programmes, particularly with advanced marketing modules; and MBA programmes incorporating strategic management. Case overview – Claudio Bedoya, founder of BioScience (BS) and CEO has decided to launch a new product line, BioMobile (BM), to enter the new telemedicine market. BS is an Argentine company, which develops and commercializes innovative diagnosis equipments since 1995. The BM is a device which sends vital signals (from a patient with a chronic disease) through the mobile phone to a recipient's cell phone (doctor and/or relative).Three market segments, the alternative value propositions and the suggested go-to-markets for each of them are suggested. A debate between Antonio, Claudio's partner and Ydavelis, the marketing manager, highlights the underlying disagreement on which segment to serve and on the choice of value proposition. Expected learning outcomes – The case has been written having a senior classroom in mind. The case works best when used towards the end of the course, as it allows integrating all the concepts discussed in the course as such it assumes that participants have acquired basic concepts of strategic management and marketing management. Thus, it is not in the scope of the case to introduce any new theoretical concepts and no specific reading material is assigned to it:

To apply prior knowledge to an emerging economy setting:
For example: the SWOT analysis, the identification of critical success factors (CSF) for each alternative, segmentation, pricing, or the new product adoption curves.
To calculate the projected revenues with limited data.
To foster critical thinking about a company's strategic planning. Specifically, to be able to identify the underlying business decision: BS needs to decide whether to focus on the B2B/B2C market.
Critically think on the differences between B2B and B2C business models.

Authors: Ding T , Luo A , Yang S , Lai Z , Wang Y , Shen W , Jiang J , Lu Y , Ma D , Wang S 
Published: October 2011

ContentsThe objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of basal media, supplements, including mixture of 5 mg/ml insulin, 5 mg/ml transferrin and 5 g/ml selenium (ITS), bovine serum albumin (BSA), sodium pyruvate (PNa) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) compared with serum on the proliferation of diethylstilbestrol‐treated C57BL/6J mouse primary granulosa cells (GCs) to develop a serum‐free culture system and to use this system to evaluate the effects of these supplements on GCs’ processes of steroidogenesis and related regulation mechanism. DMEM/F12, McCoy’s 5a, RPMI Medium 1640, Medium 199 and a‐MEM were chosen as basal media, and McCoy’s 5a proliferated the GCs greatly (p < 0.05) with a better attachment and morphology. Granulosa cells showed a better proliferation status in serum‐containing media than serum‐free media, BSA, ITS, PNa and EGF increased the proliferation of GCs in serum‐free system gradually, while the latter three had the same effect on supporting GCs’ proliferation with serum. After 2‐day culture, the cells cultured remained P450arom positive, which sustained a normal morphology and there was no sign of apoptosis when supplements were added in the serum‐free condition. Only ITS induced oestradiol production, while ITS, BSA and PNa enhanced progesterone secretion significantly indicating the promotion of differentiation. And these supplements functioned partly through increasing the transcription level of StAR, 3β‐HSD, P450scc or P450arom. In conclusion, McCoy’s 5a medium was a better basal medium, and ITS and PNa promoted both the proliferation and differentiation of primary GCs in serum‐free culture system, showing a satisfactory state for GCs’ physiological study.
