Training to Enhance Psychiatrist Communication with patients with Psychosis (TEMPO): A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the Royal College of Psychiatrists via the DOI in this record.Background: A better therapeutic relationship predicts better outcomes. However, there is no trial based evidence on how to improve therapeutic relationships in psychosis.
Aims: To test the effectiveness of communication training for psychiatrists on improving shared understanding and the therapeutic relationship.
Methods: In a cluster randomized controlled trial in the U.K., 21 psychiatrists were randomized. 97 (51% of those approached) outpatients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder were recruited. 64 (66% of the sample recruited at baseline) were followed up after 5 months. The intervention group received four group and one individualized session. The primary outcome, rated blind, was psychiatrist effort in establishing shared understanding, self-repair. Secondary outcome was the therapeutic relationship.
Results: Psychiatrists receiving the intervention used 44% more self-repair than the control group (6.4, 95% CI 1.46 to 11.33, p<.011, a large effect) adjusting for baseline self-repair. Psychiatrists rated the therapeutic relationship more positively (0.20, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.37, p=.022, a large effect), as did patients (0.21, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.41, p=.043, a medium effect).
Conclusions: Shared understanding can be successfully targeted in training and improves relationships in treating psychosis.

Author and printer in Victorian England
No full textAuthor and Printer in Victorian England demonstrates that printing technology shapes texts. The technology involved was a nineteenth-century revolution in printing methods; the texts were classic literary works by Victorian authors. What was at stake was textual control: who would decide how the text would read - author, compositor, printer's reader, or publisher? In a unique fusion of literary history and printing history, Allan C. Dooley explores the interactions between individual authors and their publishers and printers. He takes the reader through each stage of a work's development, illustrating how authors attempted to perfect and protect their writings from compositional manuscript through stereotyped reprints. His analysis includes details of a wide range of technical innovations and changes in practices in the printing of books between the development of printing machines in the 1830s and 1840s and the introduction of the Linotype in the 1890s. Drawing on the experiences of leading Victorian authors, he shows how nineteenth-century printing practices both enhanced and diminished writers' abilities to control texts. He reveals that much more was under their control than has commonly been believed and that many authors took advantage of printing technologies in order to gain and maintain control over the texts of their works. But new kinds of errors and new sources of inaccuracy were introduced by the technology as well. One little-known but surprising fact pointed out by Dooley: Victorian authors frequently saw only one set of proofs, which they had to correct with great speed and without their manuscripts in hand. Author and Printer in Victorian England reaches some surprising and controversial conclusions, occasionally touching on current debates about the theory and practice of scholarly editing. Groundbreaking in its scholarship, it provides a basis for future work

From Farm to Fork
No full textAn author, chef and local food expert will be making a stop on her book tour at the College of Saint Benedict.
“From Farm to Fork: Beth Dooley at the College of Saint Benedict” is at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 9, at room 204, Gorecki Center, CSB.
Her conversation, which will include a look at the local food scene in the St. Cloud area and developments, concerns and history unique to Minnesota, is free and open to the public.
Dooley is promoting her book, “In Winter’s Kitchen: Growing Roots and Breaking Bread in the Northern Heartland” (2015, Milkweed Editions). The book was a finalist for the 2016 Minnesota Book Awards in the Memoir and Creative Nonfiction category.
A native of New Jersey, Dooley moved to Minnesota and discovered a local food movement strong enough to survive the toughest winter. The memoir demonstrates that even in a place with a short growing season like Minnesota, food grown locally and organically can be healthy, community-based, environmentally conscious and delicious.
CSB Sustainability Coordinator Elissa Brown said Dooley and Milkwood Editions chose CSB as a stop for the book tour because of the school’s and St. Joseph’s support of local foods and farmers.
“They were impressed in their research by the Minnesota Street Market food and art co-op in St. Joseph, and that the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota holds its annual conference at CSB each February,” Brown said.
In recognition of Oct. 9 being “Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” Dooley will be highlighting the Ojibwe and Sioux perspectives in her conversation, Brown added.
Dooley said she found it astounding that you can eat local food so well in winter in Minnesota.
“So many people dismiss the idea that you can eat local in Minnesota during the winter months, but I actually find it’s very easy to do so, you just need to be thoughtful about it,” Dooley said in a 2015 article that appeared on MinnPost.
“The change in the season forces you to slow down and pay attention to what’s present at that time, and let go of the idea of what isn’t available. So much is available. The more deeply I got to know the food that grows here, and the people who grow it, the more this place felt like my own home,” she added.
Dooley writes for Mpls.St. Paul Magazine, the Taste section of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune newspaper and Heavy Table.
She wrote “Minnesota’s Bounty: The Farmers Market Cookbook” (2013) and “The Northern Heartland Kitchen” (2011), and coauthored “Savoring the Seasons of the Northern Heartland” (2004).
Dooley also guides local food trips and teaches cooking classes at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
This event is sponsored by Milkweed Editions, the CSB Sustainability Office and the Minnesota Street Market. It’s also made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund
Manifestos for wind ensemble by Paul Dooley: A critical analysis
No full textThe subject of this dissertation is a critical analysis of Paul Dooley¿s three-movement work, MANIFESTOS . While the need for scholarly analyses of wind band works is great from those teach and perform within the wind band world, there is no common template for the analysis of wind band works by scholars within the genre. The focus of this document is a modified paradigmatic analysis of Dooley¿s work, akin to the theories of Nicolas Ruwet, wherein no analytical assumptions are presumed. The composer¿s musical decisions served to guide the author to delineate the salient analytical imperatives within each movement, after rigorous historical inquiry, intensive score study and personal interviews with the composer. The dissertation¿s body is divided into six parts: an introduction expressing the need for study and the genesis of Dooley¿s composition, updated biography of the composer, a historical primer on the early twentieth-century avant-garde movements known as Futurism and Cubism, and a description of the methodology employed to analyze the work. A movement-by-movement analysis follows the methodology, including the history of the literary or artistic subject of each specified movement, and complementary musical examples, tables, and charts. Each analytical chapter concludes with additional considerations which contribute to further understanding of a movement-specific element. Following the conclusion, the dissertation includes a transcription of an interview with the composer, a current catalog of the composer¿s works, official program notes compiled by the author and approved by the composer, an appendix which includes several historically relevant documents, and a complete bibliography

Is the debt crisis history? Recent private capital inflows to developing countries
No full textThe outlook for economic development for an important group of middle-income countries has again been buoyed by substantial private capital inflows in the 1990s. As in the 1970s, this development has been met with cautious optimism. It is generally accepted that these countries need resource transfers from the rest of the world to support capital formation and growth. It is also generally accepted that these private capital flows make the allocation of resources more efficient. But there is concern that a rapid reversal of market sentiment could impose considerable adjustment costs on these same economies. The authors try to quantify what many consider to be the main reasons debtor countries have access to capital markets again: (a) Domestic policy reform in the debtor countries. (b) Debt and debt service reduction, usually associated with Brady Plan restructuring. (c) Changes in the external market, such as changes in interest rates in industrial countries. They argue that a useful barometer for access to new loans is the market value of existing sovereign debt. It follows that a quantitative analysis of the factors that caused the market value of sovereign debts to rise rapidly after 1989 would also improve understanding of the forces behind the renewed access to international capital. Empirical historical evidence suggests that fiscal reform, privatization, and debt reduction are useful in explaining relative improvements in the standing of debtor countries in international credit markets. Debtor countries with strong reform programs, in other words, are better prepared to withstand deterioration in the external environment. But the reduction in dollar interest rates since 1989 appears to be the chief factor in the debtor countries'renewed access to international loans. The authors estimate the effect of increases in dollar interest rates and conclude that the typical debtor country remains vulnerable to increases in interest rates that are well within the range of recent experience.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Strategic Debt Management,Financial Intermediation
