INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography.

The author deeply appreciates the assistance of these friends although he accepts full responsibility for all errors within these pages. First to be recognized is my committee chairman Dr. Donald Tosi with whom I have studied since the Fall of 1979. His intellectual creativity, patience, and energetic schedule made it a pleasure and challenge to sit under him during these last eight years. Also crucial to the production of an intelligible manuscript was Dr. Pamela Wise who read and reread one rough draft after another, and helped the author separate out the irrelevant and focus the ideas presented. The other members of the committee. Dr. Pamela Highlen and Dr. Richard Kelsey, provided many useful and helpful criticisms in addition to encouragement and support. Thanks to Mr. Offer Wiseman for statistical consultation. It has been a privilege to associate with this group of scholars. Second, the author appreciates the courtesy of J. B. Lippincott Company and Western Psychological Services for their permission to use copyrighted material from Dr. Donald Tosi’s chapter in Clinical Hypnosis (p. 165-167) and Drs. Piers’ and Harris’ Children’s Self-Concept Scale respectively. Also, thanks are due to Dr. Stephen Nowicki for information he provided concerning the Nowicki- Strickland Locus of Control Scale. Third, the author would like to express his deep appreciation to the administration and staff of Buckeye Youth Center who played such a vital role in the production of this research study. Those people named below showed great insight and practical sense in working with the students of Buckeye Youth Center. Their help, comments, and criticisms served as a major practical education in working with young people. Ann Swilinger, former deputy superintendent, let me through the front gate and provided the initial support that allowed the research project to take root. Mr. John Carter, director of group life, continued to support the project, encouraged the staff to iii participate in the many aspects of the program, and gave many practical suggestions. Ms. Ruby Weems spent many hours participating in the exercise groups, monitoring the behavior of the students and encouraging students with a stern and caring spirit. Mr. Ted Bryant was an important source of support and advice concerning the format, organization, and language of the relaxation-cognitive restructuring tapes. The organization of youth leaders to assist in the daily operation of the program was primarily coordinated by Mr. Ted Riggers and his group of supervisors: Mr. Quincy Dunn, Ms. Thiesta Howard, Ms. Mildred Robinson, Ms. Bobbie Gentry, Mr. James Dorton, and Mr. Bobby Pritchett. Many an evening was spent with these people planning how to overcome the many problems presented by the program. Mr. Tom Hampton and his staff at Cardinal Hall provided many challenging suggestions to improve the quality of the program. The use of the facilities of the Recreation Department were graciously provided by Mr. Frank Watson and the recreation/activities staff; thanks also to Mr. Ed Stewart, Ms. Bo Miller and Ms. Helen Walton. The facilities used for the parties were provided by Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Watson whose kindness and energy will not be forgotten. The youth leaders, as described in Chapter 3, were a group of human service professionals whose day-to- day support and participation will remain with the author as an important memory of the project: Mr. Caneral Jackson, Mr. Tom Bennett, Mr. Gary Burke, Mr. Dan Woods, Mr. Greg Dyer, Mr. Willie McKinney, Mr. John Holland, Mr. James Garrison, Mr. Robert Jackson, Mr. Ernest Fugate Ms. Janet Willis, Ms. Debbie Stewart, Mr. Elijah Ernest. Thank you all so much! Thanks also to the nursing staff for their help in taking physiological measures. The task of managing the word processing of this document was done by Mrs. Jane Parsons. Her dedication to producing a visually pleasing and accurate rendering of many drafts and revisions of this document was of prime importance. Her power of organization and willingness to put this document ahead of other potentially more profitable ventures is greatly appreciated. The contributions of the members of my spiritual family at Jireh House deserve special mention. The prayers of support and guidance by Pastor William Ethridge, the elders, member of the praise and worship group, and membership of the church added great meaning and depth to many victories that helped me complete my graduate studies and this final written document. Likewise, the support of many friends and colleagues helped me though the process of my masters and doctoral programs: Mr. Mark Davis, Dr. Donald McGee, Dr. Russell Lewis, Dr. Robert Coover, iv Dr. Harold Pepinski, and the staff and clients at Southwest Community Mental Health Centers and Parsons Avenue Medical Clinic to name only a few. Thanks to you all. Finally, to my wife Roslyn I gratefully acknowledge the love without which all the work would have been much less enjoyable and meaningful— sharing these last few years with you has been a great blessing and I look forward to many more years of life together with you. To my son Andrew, I recognize a debt for time, attention and resources that has not been available to you during your first few years; I look forward to our having more time to grow and enjoy. To my parents William and Louise Friday and my wife’s parents James and Jane Crowell I give thanks for the lifetime of giving to their children that have made it possible for my wife and me to be nurtured, educated, and inspired to keep working to achieve worthwhile goals. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. VITA December 29, 1950 ......... Born - Denver,Colorado 1976 .......................
