The Riddle of Hispaniola
Authors: Harrison Lawrence E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I Offer The Following Comparison of Haiti, a former French slave colony, and the Dominican Republic, a former Spanish slave colony, to demonstrate that culture matters. The two countries share the island of Hispaniola, largely neutralizing geography, climate, and environment as possible explanations for their divergent histories.
During the first half of the nineteenth century, Haiti was far more powerful and affluent than the Dominican Republic, yet today Haiti is by far the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, while the Dominican Republic is a far more progressive society, albeit demonstrating the political, economic, and social debilities common to most Ibero-American countries—the countries that were once colonies of Spain and Portugal.
Patterns of Cultural Change
Authors: Harrison Lawrence E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
What Do The Experiences of the countries discussed in chapters 5 and 6 tell us about the nature of cultural change? First, there is no magic wand. Values are deeply rooted and are bound up with personal identity. We easily get emotional about our values, and anything that challenges them is likely to evoke a strong response. For example: many Muslim males have been acculturated to the value of male superiority from earliest childhood. They have found reinforcement of that value in portions of the Quran and have ignored other portions that may suggest gender equality. They have been taught that they are responsible for the behavior of their mothers, sisters, and wives, and that the behavior of “their” females reflects directly on them. The idea of gender equality is not merely alien; it is a fundamental threat to the Muslim male’s identity. He will not easily part with that value, that identity.
Success and Failure
Authors: Harrison Lawrence E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This Chapter Reviews eight development activities, most in Latin America, that may produce cultural change in order to learn about patterns of success and failure. The principal objective of the first four activities is cultural change: (1) Peru’s Institute of Human Development (the Spanish acronym is INDEHU); (2) the programs of the National Strategy Information Center in Washington, D.C., to promote a culture of lawfulness in several countries; (3) a project to promote political participation in Bolivia; and (4) a campaign to promote punctuality in Ecuador.
In the second group of four, cultural change may be a byproduct: (1) U.S. government programs to strengthen democratic institutions in Latin America; (2) innovative investments by the city government of Bogotá, Colombia, focused on the needs of poor people; (3) promotion of philanthropy in Latin America; and (4) American and other schools and universities abroad.
Conclusion: Guidelines for Progressive Cultural Change
Authors: Harrison Lawrence E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Vast Majority of Participants in the CMRP agree that the cultural dimension of human progress has been neglected by the government officials and development institutions who bear the principal responsibility for guiding the policies and programs whose goal is the greater freedom and well-being of humankind. The same is true of other institutions—particularly religious, educational, and the media—that influence popular values, beliefs, and attitudes. None of the CMRP participants believes that the integration of cultural factors into policies and programs will bring about instant development. But most of us do believe that by incorporating culture into the mix of factors that shape development, the pace of progress can be accelerated toward the goals of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Systemic Assessment: Everything Is Connected
Authors: Lee Mo Yee , Ng Siu-Man , Leung Pamela Pui Yu , Chan Cecilia Lai Wan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Assessment has always played an important role in social work treatment. Conventional social work assessment with individuals and families usually focuses on understanding the history of the problem, risk factors contributing to the onset and maintenance of the problem, the effect of the problem on the self and others, and current symptoms, dysfunctions, and deficits. A comprehensive assessment of the problem is thought to help clients and families understand the reasons for their problem, which will help them gain insight into it, leading to beneficial behavioral changes and the elimination of the problem. Consequently, the key tasks of a problem-based approach to assessment are (1) taking a detailed history of the presenting problem, (2) classifying the problem or making a diagnosis, (3) coming up with a case formulation of the identified problem, and (4) agreeing on a treatment plan with the clients to solve the problem.
Therapeutic Efficacy
Authors: Weiss Noel S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A randomized controlled trial is the best method of evaluating the efficacy of therapy. Nonetheless, therapeutic decisions often have to be made in the absence of results obtained in this way. Some therapeutic measures were introduced years ago, at a time when randomized trials were the exception rather than the rule. Other therapeutic measures, even today, often do not undergo evaluation in a randomized trial prior to being widely adopted: for instance, a dietary or environmental manipulation. Or perhaps a treatment has been tested and found to be modestly effective in a randomized controlled trial, but because the outcome under study was an intermediate one (e.g., control of high blood pressure in a trial of an antihypertensive agent), the influence of the treatment on the clinically relevant outcome (e.g., morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease) is uncertain. Finally, the results of a randomized trial utilizing the clinically relevant outcome may be suggestive of therapeutic efficacy, but because of the small size of the trial, the role of chance in generating these results cannot be statistically excluded (see Chapter 4).
A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach to Suicide Risk Reduction in Crisis Intervention
Authors: Weishaar Marjorie E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Working with suicidal patients can be anxiety-provoking for even the most experienced clinician because of the perceived responsibility for another person’s life, the difficulty predicting the likelihood and timing of an individual’s suicide based on population models, and the particular reliance on the therapy relationship when collaboration may be difficult.
Evidence-Based Practice and Manualized Treatment With Children
Authors: Okamoto Scott K , Lecroy Craig Winston 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In social work and allied disciplines, there has been a growing interest in identifying psychosocial treatments for children and adolescents that have demonstrated clinical efficacy and effectiveness. This chapter focuses on illustrating various treatments that have been shown through rigorous, controlled research to be efficacious for child and adolescent mental health problems. Additionally, this chapter focuses on recent literature that addresses the movement of these clinical research studies into the “real world,” or what has been described as transportability (Schoenwald & Hoagwood, 2001), diffusion of innovation (Henggler & Lee, 2002), or effectiveness (APA Task Force on Psychological Intervention Guidelines, 1995). While there has been much progress in identifying “what works” with children and adolescents, the issue of implementing these studies into practice remains a challenge for the field of child and adolescent therapy.
The Implications of Controlled Outcome Studies on Planned Short-Term Psychotherapy With Depressive Disorders
Authors: Bloom Bernard L , Yeager kenneth R , Roberts Albert R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Depressive disorders are the major component of what are referred to in the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000; see also Mays & Croake, 1997a, Chapter 4; Morrison, 1995) as mood disorders—periods of time when patients feel abnormally and pathologically happy or sad. The term depressive disorder is reserved to describe a person who has had multiple depressive episodes, periods of time of 2 weeks or longer when they feel depressed, cannot enjoy life, and have problems with eating and sleeping, guilt feelings, loss of energy, trouble concentrating, and thoughts about death. Most depressive disorders are recurrent and lifelong.
Psychoeducation as Evidence-Based Practice Considerations for Practice, Research, and Policy
Authors: Lukens Ellen P , Mcfarlane William R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Psychoeducation is among the most effective of the evidence-based practices that have emerged in both clinical trials and community settings. Because of the flexibility of the model, which incorporates both illness-specific information and tools for managing related circumstances, psychoeducation has broad potential for many forms of illnesses and varied life challenges. This paper examines the research that supports psychoeducation as evidence-based practice for the professions dealing with mental health, health care, and social service across system levels and in different contexts by reviewing the range of applications that have appeared in the recent literature. We identified the psychoeducational examples included in the review by following guidelines for evidence-based practices created by the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Task Force on Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures (1995). In the Discussion section, the common and unique themes and content across studies and populations are identified.
Imitatio Christi in Christian Martyrdom and Asceticism: A Critical Dialogue
Authors: Kinnard Isabelle 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Homer is popularly credited with the observation that “rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.” Leaving aside the question of better or worse, this observation underscores a certain lack of identity even between family members. This familial relation and lack of identity applies on a historical and conceptual level when comparing martyrdom and asceticism. From the time that martyrs began to be honored, ascetics claimed a close, familial relationship between their own daily sufferings and the martyrs’ tortures and bloody deaths. The ascetics saw themselves as the heirs of the martyrs.
Holding Parties to Their Commitments

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The CBA process is complete when the stakeholders return one last time to meet face-to-face to review the comments received when the participants took the penultimate (i.e., “next-to-final”) draft of the agreement out for review. It may be necessary to modify the package one last time to ensure the support of constituents that the participants are supposed to represent. If major changes to the package are made, however, it may be necessary to go through the final step once again.
Stochastic wave function for atomic helium
Authors: Kalos M H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper reports a first application of the Green’s function approach (GFQMC) introduced by Kalosa to the calculation of the wavefunction for an atomic system. Although the precision of the results obtained was (far) “less than that already achieved for helium in a number of existing calculations,” the study provided a useful exploration of the method. It revealed some of the problems associated with the sign change for particle weights introduced by the potential energy term (V/ E) occurring in the expression for sampling with a Green’s function. Kalos investigated several methods for avoiding or minimizing the problem. Since the ground-state wavefunction for helium is nodeless, the sign problem associated with fermion nodes does not present itself in this case.
A soft Hartree-Fock pseudopotential for carbon with application to quantum Monte Carlo
Authors: Greeff C W , Lester W A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The popular norm-conserving Hartree-Fock pseudopotentials of Stevens, Basch, and Krauss0 have been highly successful in reducing the computational effort required in several types of ab initio electronic structure calculations, including both variational and diffusion QMC calculations. These pseudopotentials create a problem specific to diffusion calculations that leads to occasional large fluctuations in local energies and correspondingly higher uncertainties in the calculated energies. In this paper Greeff and Lester propose and describe a new pseudopotential expression for carbon atoms that avoids this problem. The new pseudopotential is “soft.” It is a smooth even function of the electron-nucleus distance r, which is nonzero at r = 0 and does not diverge at r = 0. It is written in a standard form for use in quantum chemistry programs. Tests with analytic Hartree-Fock calculations showed excellent agreement with HF energies from all-electron calculations and others using standard pseudopotential functions for the small hydrocarbons CH, CH4, and CH2CH2, as well as for the triplet-singlet splitting of CH2. Tests with the new pseudopotential in VQMC and DQMC calculations for the species C and CH showed a much greater stability, allowed larger time steps without stability problems, and exhibited a much lower time-step dependence than those for earlier pseudopotentials. The C-H bond energy determined from these calculations was in good agreement with the experimental value and with values from other high-level calculations. By making possible the use of larger time steps, these soft pseudopotentials significantly increase the range of practical applications of QMC.
Quantum Monte Carlo study of Be2 and group 12 dimers :tvh (M = Zn, Cd, Hg)
Authors: Schautz F , Flad H J , Dolg M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study was undertaken as a first step toward QMC calculations for clusters of Zn and Cd atoms, following earlier studies of Hg atoms. These dimers are weakly bound in their ground states, but they have some strongly bound excited states which make them interesting candidates for use in eximer lasers, and this has stimulated several successful coupled cluster calculations and spectroscopic studies for these species. As a result, there are sufficient data for comparisons of QMC results. The QMC calculations were fixed-node diffusion calculations carried out with relativistic energy-consistent large-core pseudopod tentials. These ab initio pseuodopotentials eliminated 28, 46, and 78 electrons in Zn, Cd, and Hg, leaving only 2 electrons per atom and 4 for each dimer - like the helium dimer He2. Semi-empirical core-polarization terms were added to the potential energy expression. Relative energies, as well as static dipole polarizabilities, were determined for both atoms and dimers. The polarizabilities required an added finite-difference approach with applied fields. From the complete set of results, the spectroscopic constants Re, De, and We for Zn2 and Cd2 could be derived. As for earlier calculations for Hg2 and for test calculations, these were found to give good agreement with values derived from spectroscopic measurements and from coupled cluster calculations. Similar agreement was found for the polarizabilities.
Adiabatic diffusion Monte Carlo approaches for studies of ground and excited state properties of van der Waals complexes
Authors: Lee H S , Herbert J M , Mccoy A B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper introduced an “adiabatic” extension to simple diffusion QMC in order to provide (1) a means for generating ‘¢ 2 distributions for evaluating expectation values, and (2) a means for optimizing single-parameter node locations for excited states. The procedures were illustrated with applications to the low-energy vibrational states of the loosely bound van der waals complexes NeSH and Ar2HCl. The adiabatic scheme is based on first-order perturbation theory with a Hamiltonian expressed as fI = fI(o) +,\W and an energy approximated by En = E o) +&gt;.E 1). If a typical diffusion simulation in imaginary time T is modified by adding to the Hamiltonian a perturbation, &gt;.W, which changes slowly with time as d&gt;./dr (the adiabatic approximation), the average energy E( r) evolves linearly in &gt;.. This provides the required ‘¢ 2 sampling for expectation values of W. In the case of a nodal surface which is a function of a single parameter T/, the correct node location may be determined by varying the position T/ with time in a similar fashion. For two simulations, one on each side of a nodal surface, the value of T/ which produces the same energy for both is the optimized node location. This replaces the use of repeated simulations with T/ fixed in each. The calculations were successful in reproducing ground-state expectation values for several interatomic distances and angles determined in analytic variational calculations for each of the species NeSH and Ar2HCl. For the lowest-energy vibrational states of Ar2HCl, the nodes in some cases could be defined by symmetry considerations. In others, the node locations were successfully approximated using the adiabatic diffusion method as described, and they produced energies in good agreement with alternate predictions. The advantages of this method arise in the simplification of the search for correct values of the ,\ and T/ parameters for expectation values and node location.
Energetics of carbon clusters C8 and C10 from all-electron quantum Monte Carlo calculations
Authors: Shlyakhter Y , Sokolova S , Lüchow A , Anderson J B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Carbon clusters in the range C2 to C24 presented a challenge to both experiment and theory long before the discovery of C60, and with that discovery the challenge has been extended to larger systems, particularly to carbon nanotubes. with this paper allelectron fixed-node diffusion QMC calculations were extended to Cs and C10 and compared with those of alternative ab initio methods. For systems of this size, very accurate calculations are available from MP2, MP4, CISD, and CCSD methods. For both Cs and C10, several isomeric structures lie within 1-2 kcal/mole of each other: linear and cyclic, acetylenic and cumulenic, singlet and triplet. The FN-DQMC calculations produced total electronic energies 0.4 to 1.2 hartrees lower than those of the lowest energy analytic variational and coupled cluster calculations and only 0.2 to 0.4 hartrees above experimentally based total energies. Recovery of correlation energy was 89 to 94%. For Cs the lowest energy structures were predicted to be the cyclic C4h 1A9 structure, the linear 3:Et cumulenic structure, and the linear 1Et cumulenic structure, all within 10 kcal/mo! of each other. For C10, the predicted lowest energy structures were the cyclic D5h 1A (distorted cumulenic) and D10h1A19 (cumulenic structures), within 5 kcal/mo! of each other. These results are in good agreement with earlier high-level calculations of all types, which in turn are in good agreement with each other. This gives confidence in each of the methods for this size of molecules. The authors included an analysis of the scaling of computation effort with number of electrons Ne, showing a third-power dependence as N!.
Benchmark quantum Monte Carlo calculations
Authors: Grossman J C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this paper Grossman reported pseudopotential fixed-node diffusion QMC calculations of atomization energies for the Gl set of 55 small molecules,0 a standard benchmark set for testing methods in quantum chemistry. To maintain the uniformity in the calculations, they were carried out with the same basis sets and orbital types for single-determinant trial functions and effective core potentials (with a few exceptions). Variational QMC was used to optimize the determinan Jastrow trial functions. The mean absolute deviation EMAD in atomization energy from the experimental values was found to be 2.9 kcal/mol, the maximum deviation was 14 kcal/mol (for SO2), and the next five largest deviations were 7-8 kcal/mol. A comparison with results from other methods tested with the Gl set shows the FN-DQMC method to be competitive. For EMAD the list is: FN-DQMC, 2.9 kcal/mol; DFT (LDA), 40 kcal/mol; DFT (B3LYP or B3PW91), 2.9 kcal/mol; CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ, 2.8 kcal/mol; CCSD(T)/extrapolated, 1.3 kcal/mol; semi-empirical G1 theory, 1.6 kcal/mol. Additional calculations with different trial functions indicated that node location errors could be significantly reduced with multi determinant trial functions. Computational effort was not compared, but linear scaling for FN-DQMC was mentioned as an important advantage for QMC. 0J. A. Pople, M. Head-Gordon, D. J. Fox, K. Raghavachari, and L. A.

Fermionization of a bosonic gas under highly elongated confinement: A diffusion quantum Monte Carlo study
Authors: Blume D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
These two papers, published back to back, provide superb examples of the use of a quantum Monte Carlo method to obtain exact solutions for a problem difficult to treat by other methods. The problem is that of a bosonic atomic gas confined in a cigarshaped trap. As the cigar is narrowed the atoms are less able to pass each other, their behavior approaches that of fermions, and they are said to exhibit “fermionization.” Using diffusion QMC the authors were able to determine the ground-state energies, examine structural properties, confirm that fermionization can occur, and predict conditions under which it might be observed. The calculations by Blume were carried out for 2-20 atoms confined in axially symmetric traps of varied aspect ratios. The confining potential for each atom was given by Vk = CpPl + Czzl (radial and axial positions squared). The atom-atom interactions were simple hard-sphere potentials. The (nodeless) guided diffusion calculations used a trial wavefunction of the Jastrow type, a product of atom-trap terms and atom-atom terms. The calculations by Astrakharchik and Giorgini were carried out similarly but included both hard and soft spheres with numbers in the range of 5 to 100 atoms. Comparisons were made with predictions of the LiebLiniger equation of state.
Higher accuracy quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the barrier for the H + H2 reaction
Authors: Riley K E , Anderson J B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For many QMC calculations, the accuracy of the results may be improved by simply extending the calculation time to increase the number of samples. With an increase in computer speed of about a factor of ten every four years, and an inverse square-root dependence of statistical error on number of samples, one should expect a factor-of-ten improvement in accuracy every eight years. That is the case for the calculations reported in this paper. An “exact” QMC calculationa of the potential energy surface for the reaction H + H2 in 1992 gave a barrier height of 9.61 ± 0.01 kcal/mol. The same program was run with only minor changes on a faster machine about ten years later to give the results in this paper. This time, the barrier height was found to be 9.608 ± 0.001 kcal/mol. Energies for other points on the potential energy surface were similarly improved in accuracy. These included the energies of points for the ground state and the first excited state near the Jahn-Teller cusp. ao. L. Diedrich and J. B.
