본 연구의 목적은 정서의 경험과정 상에서 손상을 보이는 문제집단을 대상으로 하여 감성교육프로그램(EMTP)의 잠재적 적용가능성을 탐색하려는 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 12회기에 걸친 감성교육프로그램의 전후에 참가자들의 정서능력을 측정하고 감성교육프로그램의 실시에 따른 효과성을 검증하였다. 반복측정치를 위한 변량분석의 결과는 감성교육프로그램이 정서적 능력, 특히 자기동기화 및 타인의 감정관리 능력에 있어서는 유의한 향상을 이야기함을 확인시켜 주었다. 후속적으로 정서적 능력의 사전검사 점수를 토대로 우수, 문제집단을 선발하여 이들에게 감성교육프로그램이 서로 차별화된 반응을 야기하는지를 관찰하였다. 변량분석 결과, 잠재적 수형 인구와 유사한 특성을 지녔을 것이라 예상되었던 문제집단에게 있어서도 정서능력 우수집단에서 나타났던 긍정적인 프로그램 효과가 동일하게 산출된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 사실들은 감성교육프로그램이 공감능력에 있어 현저한 손상을 안고 있는 수형집단에게도 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것이란 기대를 갖게 한다. 국내에서는 정신병질자(psychopaths)의 범죄행위에 관련된 연구는 아직 일반화되어 있지 않음은 물론 그 중요성이 충분히 인지되어 있지 않고 있다. 또한 중범죄자 및 상습범죄자들의 재범을 억제할 수 있는 교정치료프로그램개발에 대한 충분한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 이로 인해 최근 우리사회는 전술한 바와 같이 재범률이 지속적으로 증가하여 심각한 사회문제를 야기하고 있다. 그러므로 형사정책적 노력의 일환으로 재범률의 증가를 감소시키기 위한 중범죄자와 상습범죄자들의 원활한 사회복귀를 돕는 교정치료프로그램개발의 필요성은 우리나라 교정행정의 당면과제가 아닐 수 없다. 그러나 우리와는 달리 범죄학분야에서 선진국가들의 경우, 특히 북미지역에서는 범죄자들의 정신병질적 특성이 매우 중시되어 재범 예측의 가장 중요한 개인 내적인 변수로 다루어지고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of visual block (eyes open or closed), mental task type, and participation in an exercise program on static balance in the elderly. The subjects were 34 elderly (>65 years old) residents of a social welfare institute in Gyeonggi-do. We measured the following variables. Berg balance scale, mini mental state examination, balance performance monitor (sway area, path, and maximal sway velocity), age, weight, height and whether the subject participated in an exercise program. Scores for the Berg balance scale and mini mental state examination were evaluated to assess static balance ability either alone (single task paradigm) or while performing a mental task (dual task paradigm). Static balance variables that were measured included sway area, path, and maximal sway velocity. Each test was repeated three times. Multiple regressions analysis was used to examine the effect of each variable on static balance ability. For the dual task paradigm, static balance was affected by whether the subject participated in an exercise program. The Berg balance scale score for subjects with their eyes open was affected by whether they participated in an exercise program, while this variable in addition to the height and weight of subjects were determining variables in subjects with their eyes closed. As a result, whether subjects participated in an exercise program affected their static balance irrespective of whether their eyes open or closed. Therefore, regular exercise is recommended for elderly people and further research is needed to examine the relationship between static and dynamic balance while performing mental tasks such as cognition and attention.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of obesity and depression level of obese children on body weight control program. The body weight control program included nutrition education, psychotherapy and exercise for weekly session during 9 months. The results from this study were as follows. A total of 27 obese children participated in this study. The average age of children was 11.7 years, 70% of children had regular exercise. Average exercise time was 1.2 hours and watching television time was 1.8 hours. Children's serum composition were within normal ranges. Rohrer index(RI) was significantly decreased to 163 from 167(p<0.001) and BMI was significantly decreased to 23.9 from 24.5(p<0.01) after body weight control program. There was not significant difference in depression score after body weight control program and there was not significant correlation between obesity and depression level. The response tendency of depression items indicated obese children had negative depression feelings and couldn't have hopeful mind to the future. But there were significant increase(p<0.05) in depression and hopeful mind in factor analysis. The suggestion and limitations of this study were discussed. These results suggest that body weight control program including nutrition education, exercise and psychotherapy may be effective for helping obese children.

인체측정 시, sheet를 이용한 계측치 기록에 의한 직접측정 방법은 계측치 입력시간이 오래 걸리고, 입력과정에서 착오가 생길 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 계측치 입력과정에서 발생할 수 있는 착오를 감소시키고, 계측 소요시간을 단축시키기 위해 샅높이 항목과 큰․작은․둥근 수평자 항목에서의 인체측정 실시간 입력 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 인체측정과 동시에 입력 화면에 계측치가 실시간으로 입력되고, 모든 항목의 측정을 마치면 자동으로 각 피험자명으로 저장된 Excel파일과 Access DB가 생성된다. 남녀피험자 50명을 대상으로 새롭게 개발한 인체측정 실시간 입력 프로그램을 사용하여 계측을 실시한 결과 sheet를 이용하는 기존 Martin식 계측법과 비교하여 샅높이 항목과 큰․작은 수평자를 사용하는 항목에서 유의한 시간 절감 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Nowadays, there are many issues in introducing accreditation of occupational therapy education in Korea. Accreditation is a system for recognizing educational institutions and professional programs affiliated to those institutions on a level of performance, integrity, and quality which entitles them to the confidence of the educational community and the public they serve. I believe accreditation system in the United States is well-established through nongovernmental, voluntary institutional or professional association. On the basis of analyzing accreditation system of the United States, this study introduces the arrangement for establishing of accreditation policy in Korea.

The purpose of this article is to examine the treatment program of adolescent sex offenders in America. Thereby, it attempts to provide several improvement ways in adolescent sex offender treatment in Korea. In America, the social policy response to adolescents who commit sexual offenses has undergone dramatic change since the early 1980s. Prior to this time, acts of sexual offense by teenagers were often dismissed or trivialized. And treatment programs were rare. But, the crimes are considered serious, juvenile sex offenders are routinely prosecuted since 1980s. Sex offending by teenagers has come to be viewed as a unique form of deviance that requires different rehabilitative strategies than do those employed with other offenders. So, specialized treatment programs have proliferated. The cornerstone of policies regarding intervention, both within institutions and in community, is that juveniles who commit sexual offenses should be mandated to participate in specialized treatment programs that specifically address the sex offense behavior. Specialized treatment programs for adolescent sex offender have proliferated, continuously. Specialized treatment programs for adolescent sex offender are provided within institutions and in community in America. And most programs are provided in community. Based on reviewing realities of adolescent sex offender program in America, it suggest several ways for effective treatment in Korea.

This study looked specifically at the community corrections programs in Virginia where those are being practiced statewide. For the research, the interviews with program managers not only in the state level but also in the specific field level were conducted. The major findings are as follows: (1) For the successful management of these programs, it is important to make best use of community resources and to manage the conflicts with local residents effectively. (2) Even though in Virginia community corrections programs are cost-efficient, the operation of these programs cannot be stable because of budgetary or political reason. So the success of community corrections depends upon the favorable policy environment to these fields. (3) More programs may be initiated by the existing correctional systems in lieu of creating new community corrections programs or facilities. All in all, the diversion center program, especially for non-felon women offenders can be useful and considerable in the short run in Korea. This program can be applied in private prisons, women's correctional facilities or open house facilities in our nation.
