Today, as the legitimacy of various forms of therapeutic intervention is under attack, and as practitioners in all areas of the human services are increasingly held accountable for monitoring and evaluating their practices in an objective manner, a sound familiarity with objective measurement techniques has become essential. In addition, practitioners must also be concerned with satisfying state, agency, or insurance company guidelines. 
 Now, this updated and expanded two-volume edition of Fischer and Corcoran's standard reference enables professionals to gather this vital information easily and effectively. In "Measures for Clinical Practice, Volume 1: Couples, Families and Children" and "Volume 2: Adults," Joel Fischer and Kevin Corcoran provide an extensive collection of over 320 "rapid assessment instruments" (RAIs), including questionnaires and scales, which assess virtually any problem commonly encountered in clinical practice. All instruments are actually reprinted in the book, and are critiqued by the authors to aid in their selection. The instruments included are brief and easy to administer and will be useful for all types of practice and all theoretical orientations. 
 Introducing the compendium of instruments, Fischer and Corcoran explain the principles of measurement and how to apply them in practice. They explore the range of assessment techniques available, including behavioral observations, rating scales, and client logs, as well as unobtrusive, electromechanical, and standardized measures. After examining the advantages and disadvantages of rapid assessment instruments, they show practitioners how to effectively select, administer, score, and interpret thesemeasures as part of the treatment process. 
 This fully updated and expanded two-volume edition will be essential to every practitioner and student of social work, psychology, psychiatry, nursing, counseling, and the rehabilitative therapies.

Junior Mining Investor brings together the combined wisdom of 14 mining-industry veterans to reveal how they make money speculating, trading and investing in junior mining and exploration stocks. These issues trade like no other sector and the potential to double or even triple your investment in 2-3 days means you have to be in the right stock at the precise time. Each succinct chapter presents the author's strategy and offers step-by-step guidance on implementing it for maximum profits. These analysts are newsletter writers, hedge fund managers, discovery geologists, and industry veterans who have one thing in common: a winning record and proven philosophy in the ever-changing gold and resource stock market. They understand the key fundamentals to investing in the resource sector and have created life-changing wealth for many of their clients.
 Gold, silver, platinum, uranium, nickel, copper and various other base metals have been in a bull market since 2001 and will most likely continue for many years as the economic growth in China, India, Brazil, and Russia demands ever-increasing amounts of the world's raw materials.
 One of the best ways to invest in these commodities is through mining and exploration companies that explore for, discover, develop and mine these valuable resources.
 Junior mining and explorations stocks provide exposure to the metals market. And since they have a 'small' market capitalization, typically between $10 and $300 million, these companies offer great leverage and the chance to multiply your money rapidly, if done correctly.
 In Junior Mining Investor, you will learn how to buy and sell stocks listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and Canada's Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX-Venture - where over 60% of the world's exploration companies are listed. Many of these companies do not trade on the broad U.S. exchanges, so it is critical that you understand how to access these foreign markets.
 This book is for investors who wish to gain the necessary fundamentals to speculate in this exciting, dynamic, and profitable market. Small-cap junior mining and exploration stocks are a proven way to play the current bull market in precious metals, base metals and uranium. And with the right knowledge, many investors are making big gains. 
 Authors include: David Morgan, The Silver-Investor; Brian Fagan, Stocks and Speculations; Adrian Day, Adrian Day Asset Management; Jason Hommel, The Silver Stock Report; Dr. Russell McDougal, Investor's Daily Edge; Scott Wright, Zeal Intelligence; Ken Gerbino, Kenneth J. Gerbino and Company; Neil Charnock, Gold Oz; Clif Droke, ClifDroke.com; Dr. Richard S.

Much has been written by practitioners advocating the emerging church phenomenon, but confusion about the nature and beliefs of those who identify with the emerging church still exists. Now that the movement has aged a bit, the time has come for a more rigorous, scholarly analysis. Here four influential authors, each an expert in his field, discuss important cultural, theological, philosophical, and biblical underpinnings and implications of the emerging church movement. Their sympathetic yet critical assessment helps readers better understand the roots of the movement and the impact that it has had and is having on wider traditions. The book includes a 60-minute companion DVD that provides a background introduction to the emerging church and video clips of alternative worship services. The DVD also contains interviews with emerging church leaders and observers, including Brian McLaren and Rowan Williams.
