English | April 2, 2021 | ISBN: 148426830X | 420 pages | MOBI | 10 Mb
Master the syntax for working with R's Descriptionting functions in graphics and stats in this easy reference to formatting Descriptions. The approach in Visualizing Data in R 4 toward the application of formatting in ggDescription() will follow the structure of the formatting used by the Descriptionting functions in graphics and stats. This book will take advantage of the new features added to R 4 where appropriate including a refreshed color palette for charts, Cairo graphics with more fonts/symbols, and improved performance from grid graphics including ggDescription 2 rendering speed. Visualizing Data in R 4 starts with an introduction and then is split into two parts and six appendices. Part I covers the function Description() and the ancillary functions you can use with Description(). You'll also see the functions par() and layout(), providing for multiple Descriptions on a page. Part II goes over the basics of using the functions qDescription() and ggDescription() in the package ggDescription2. The default Descriptions generated by the functions qDescription() and ggDescription() give more sophisticated-looking Descriptions than the default Descriptions done by Description() and are easier to use, but the function Description() is more flexible. Both Description() and ggDescription() allow for many layers to a Description.

Vicarious Trauma and Disaster Mental Health: Understanding Risks and Promoting Resilience By Gertie Quitangon (editor), Mark R. Evces (editor)
2015 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 1138793299 | PDF | 2 MB
Vicarious Trauma and Disaster Mental Health focuses on the clinician and the impact of working with disaster survivors. Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, mass shootings, terrorism and other large-scale catastrophic events have increased in the last decade and disaster resilience has become a national imperative. This book explores vicarious traumatization in mental health providers who respond to massive disasters by choice or by circumstance. What happens when clinicians share the trauma and vulnerability from the toll taken by a disaster with the victims they care for? How can clinicians increase resilience from disaster exposure and provide mental health services effectively? Vicarious Trauma and Disaster Mental Health offers insight and analysis of the research and theory behind vicarious trauma and compares and contrasts with other work-impact concepts such as burnout, compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress. It proposes practical evidence-informed personal strategies and organizational approaches that address five cognitive schemas (safety, esteem, trust, control and intimacy) disrupted in vicarious trauma. With an emphasis on the psychological health and safety of mental health providers in the post-disaster workplace, this book represents a shift in perspective and provides a framework for the promotion of worker resilience in the standard of practice in disaster management.
