Beyond Significance Testing: Reforming Data Analysis Methods in Behavioral Research

Annotation “The book is intended for applied researchers and students who may not have quantitative backgrounds. Readers will learn how to measure effect size on continuous or dichotomous outcomes in comparative studies with independent or dependent samples. They will also learn how to calculate and correctly interpret confidence intervals for effect sizes. Numerous research examples from a wide range of areas illustrate how to apply these principles and how to estimate substantive significance instead of just statistical significance. Additional alternatives to statistical tests are described, including meta-analysis, resampling techniques like bootstrapping, and Bayesian estimation.”–BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Motherhood, Mental Illness and Recovery

Despite the importance of regaining social roles during recovery from mental illness, the intersection between motherhood and serious mental illness is often overlooked. This book aims to rectify that neglect. A series of introductory chapters describing current research and services available to mothers with serious mental illness are followed by personal accounts of clients reflecting on their parenting experiences. One goal of the book is to provide clinicians with information that they can use to help patients struggling with questions and barriers in their attempts to parent. The inclusion of personal accounts of mothers on issues such as stigma, fears and discrimination in the context of parenting with a mental illness is intended to promote the message of mental illness recovery to a larger audience as well. Finally, it is hoped that this handbook will help inspire more research on mothers with mental illness and the creation of more services tailored to their needs.
