1. Good Schools in Poor Neighborhoods: Defying Demographics, Achieving Success

Author

Urban Institute, Clewell, Beatriz Chu, Campbell, Patricia B., Perlman, Lesley, Clewell, Beatriz Chu, Campbell, Patricia B., Perlman, Lesley, and Urban Institute

Abstract

"Good Schools in Poor Neighborhoods" contrasts highly effective schools serving urban, low-income, minority youth with their more typical, struggling counterparts. Highlighted are two disparate schools: one serving predominately African American students in a large northeastern city and one serving Latino students in a southwestern urban area. Through solid data from original research, as well as lively vignettes and vivid quotes from principals, teachers, parents, and students, a picture of exceptional schools emerges to guide policymakers and practitioners.

3. Burnout: Summary and Future Research.

Author

Perlman, Baron and Hartman, E. Alan

Abstract

This paper reviews, compares, and summarizes writings from 1974 to 1980 which address the concept of burnout. The 48 writings are summarized in a tabular format and presented in chronological order to provide the reader with a sense of trends. The table also includes authors, year of publication, the occupation of the "burned-out" individual, and the definition of burnout used in the writing. Based on an analysis of these definitions of burnout, the paper proposes a new definition encompassing emotional or physical exhaustion, lowered work productivity, and overdepersonalization. The five sources which present statistical analyses relating individual or organizational variables to burnout are reviewed and research methodology issues are posed. The future research section is based on research to date, authors' conversations with researchers and other professionals, and writings in areas such as psychopolitics, client labeling, the interrelationships of clients, care givers, and systems, and causes and prevention of burnout. A model to aid researchers is also provided. (NRB)

4. The Forgotten Staff: Who Cares for the Care Givers?

Author

Scholom, Allan and Perlman, Baron

Abstract

The theoretical and practical importance of being responsive to the personal needs of the mental health worker is discussed. It is hypothesized that for mental health workers to function at optimal levels of effectiveness both within an agency and in delivering service to clients within an agency context their own needs for recognition, support,and enjoyment must be attended to. The view of the comprehensive community mental health center (CCMHC) as an interdependent system where clientele, service staff, and administration are continually affecting and being affected by one another is presented. Social system, family interaction, and individual personality theory are briefly discussed so as to provide a framework and rationale for this view. The authors' experiences at two mental health agencies illustrative of good and bad mental health practices with regard to staff serve to crystallize relevant issues. In conclusion, specific proposals to provide for the needs of mental health staff and the improvement of agency functioning are presented. (Author)

8. Families in the Energy Crisis: Impacts and Implications for Theory and Policy.

Author

Perlman, Robert, Warren, Roland L., Perlman, Robert, and Warren, Roland L.

Abstract

This book analyzes the effects of the energy crisis of 1973-74 and 1977 on 1440 American families in three metropolitan areas. An analytic framework was developed for interpreting the outcomes and the processes by which families responded to the crisis. This book presents a conceptual framework for tracing the interactions between large-scale events and families, and it analyses the responses of American families to the energy crisis and the impacts of their responses on other economic and social units. The analytical framework treats family adjustments to a crisis as: (1) a series of processes extending over time; and (2) changes in the performance of family tasks for its own members and for other social systems. Chapter titles indicating contents are: (1) Introduction; (2) An Analytical Model of Families and Crises; (3) The Energy Crisis Unfolds in Hartford, Mobile, and Salem; (4) 1,440 Families React; (5) Family Adjustments; (6) Attrition, Repercussions, and Energy Conservation; (7) Different Families, Different Burdens; (8) Three Years Later-Crisis II; (9) Energy Conservation and Public Policy; and (10) Focus on Families. Appendices include: (1) Survey Design and Implementation; (2) Follow-Up Mail Survey in September 1975; (3) The Validation Study; and (4) Socioeconomic Differences Among Families in Brandies Sample.

14. Explorations of the Brain, Mind and Medicine in the Writings of Jonathan Swift.

Author

Whitaker, Harry, Smith, C. U. M., Finger, Stanley, and Lorch, Marjorie Perlman

Abstract

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was one of the most celebrated political satirists of his age. However, embedded in his writing are numerous astute observations on the mind and brain. Today, Swift is perhaps best remembered as the literary author of Gulliver's Travels (1726). However, to his contemporaries he was considered a leading commentator on the politics of England's relations with Ireland, and a significant spiritual head of the Church as the Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin for over 30 years (from 1713 to the time of his death in 1745). An underlying theme that runs throughout many of his political and satirical writings (e.g. the Tale of a Tub, The Battle of the Books, The Legion Club) was an interest in madness and mental states. This chapter considers the numerous original insights and reflections on neuroscientific topics in Swift's writings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
