Assassination generation : video games, aggression, and the psychology of killing / by Grossman, Dave,author.(CARDINAL)390194; Miserany, Katie,author.(CARDINAL)629393; Paulsen, Kristine,author.(CARDINAL)629376;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-251) and index.It's worse than it looks : the case against the media --Guns, drugs, and denial : common excuses for the virus of violence --The human brain on violence : how violent video games warp the mind --The gangbanger's trainer : how video games train kids to kill --Fiction or reality? : true crimes and the games that may be linked to them --Failed attempts at change --Calling on community --The solution --What you can do today.The author of the landmark work On Killing reveals how violent video games have ushered in a new era of mass homicide--and what we must do about it. Paducah, Kentucky, 1997: a 14-year-old boy shoots eight students in a prayer circle at his school. Littleton, Colorado, 1999: two high school seniors kill a teacher, twelve other students, and then themselves. Utoya, Norway, 2011: a political extremist shoots and kills sixty-nine participants in a youth summer camp. Newtown, Connecticut, 2012: a troubled 20-year-old man kills 20 children and six adults at the elementary school he once attended. What links these and other horrific acts of mass murder? A young person's obsession with video games that teach how to kill. Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, who in his perennial bestseller On Killing revealed that most of us are not "natural born killers"--and who has spent decades training soldiers, police, and others who keep us secure to overcome the intrinsic human resistance to harming others and to use firearms responsibly when necessary--turns a laser focus on the threat posed to our society by violent video games. Drawing on crime statistics, cutting-edge social research, and scientific studies of the teenage brain, Col. Grossman shows how video games that depict antisocial, misanthropic, and casually savage behavior can warp the mind--with potentially deadly results. This book will kickstart a new national conversation about video games and the epidemic of mass murders that they have unleashed.--Adapted from dust jacket.

Parent management training : treatment for oppositional, aggressive, and antisocial behavior in children and adolescents / by Kazdin, Alan E.,author.(CARDINAL)721205;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 385-399) and indexes.Introduction -- Underlying principles and concepts -- From principles to techniques : positive reinforcement -- From principles to techniques : punishment and extinction -- Characteristics of treatment -- Evidence : key findings, strengths, and limitations -- Critical issues in applying and implementing treatment -- Parent management training in perspective -- Parent management training manual.Currently in the mental health professions, there is keen interest in evidence-based treatments. Among the psychotherapies for children and adolescents, parent management training (PMT) is without peer. No other treatment for children has been as thoroughly investigated, and as widely applied as has PMT. In this book, Dr Alan Kazdin brings together the conceptual and empirical bases of this treatment, as applied to children and adolescents with oppositional, aggressive, and antisocial behaviour. The book's first half provides the background, principles, and concepts underlying PMT, detailing the clinical application of treatment with concrete examples of how therapists should work with parents and children. Kazdin also highlights the wide body of research on PMT to demonstrate the empirical basis of this intervention, to convey what is understood about how PMT works, and to identify what can be done to enhance the effects of treatment. The book's second half is a treatment manual of PMT, as applied in outpatient treatment for children and adolescents referred for oppositional, aggressive, and antisocial behaviour.; The PMT manual, which in its entirety is included in the book, details the particulars of the therapy: what is done to and by whom, what is said by the therapist, and what to expect at each stage of treatment. It also contains handouts, charts, and aides for parents. Both halves of the book move from the general (background, principles, and theory) to the specific (e.g. techniques; dialogues among the therapist, parent, and child; and materials used in treatment). Informed by research, the book remains concrete and grounded in clinical realities. Alan Kazdin is one of the most respected clinical psychologists in the country and has dedicated over twenty years to research and treatment for children
