The Black Power movement has often been portrayed in history and popular culture as the quintessential 'bad boy' of modern black movement-making in America. Yet this impression misses the full extent of Black Power's contributions to U.S. society, especially in regard to black professionals in social work. Relying on extensive archival research and oral history interviews, Joyce M. Bell follows two groups of black social workers in the 1960s and 1970s as they mobilized Black Power ideas, strategies, and tactics to change their national professional associations. Comparing black dissenters within the National Federation of Settlements (NFS), who fought for concessions from within their organization, and those within the National Conference on Social Welfare (NCSW), who ultimately adopted a separatist strategy, she shows how the Black Power influence was central to the creation and rise of black professional associations. She also provides a nuanced approach to studying race-based movements and offers a framework for understanding the role of social movements in shaping the non-state organizations of civil society.

BOYS AND MEN HEALING From Child Sexual Abuse Produced and Directed by Kathy Barbini for Big Voice Pictures This powerful documentary reveals the epidemic of sexual abuse of boys and its impact on both the individuals and their families. It highlights the importance of male survivors being healed and speaking out to end sexual abuse.The film features male survivors who are of diverse race, socio-economic status and sexual orientation. Whether it was shame, intimacy problems, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse or rage that led to violence, the effect of the trauma plagued their lives. Yet each man ultimately chose the arduous task of healing, reclaiming his life through counseling, support groups and taking action toward prevention for other boys. The men are candid about their memories of the abuse, the dark period in their lives that followed and the process of healing they have undergone. They are living proof that survivors have the ability to thrive and lead fulfilling lives. The film shows the dynamics of a male survivor support group. It will be a source of hope and inspiration.58 min.A companion film, The Healing Years: Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, is also available from Filmakers Library.

The award-winning PEARL (Positively Enriching and enhancing Residents' Lives) programme was developed to enable care homes to move from providing good fundamental care to excellent person-centred dementia care. Trialled extensively by one of the UK's largest care providers, it has been proven to dramatically increase the quality of life of people with dementia living in care homes, significantly reducing the use of antipsychotics and the incidence of stress-related behaviours. This concise and accessible guide, written by the Director of Dementia Care at the care provider which trialled and developed PEARL, describes the key criteria of the programme, and provides best practice guidelines for dementia care practitioners wishing to use the approach in their own care home. With an emphasis on the practical, achievable elements of the programme, and drawing on many useful examples, the author and contributors provide guidelines on, amongst many things, getting the fundamentals of person-centred care right; enabling decision-making; reducing stress-related behaviours; psychosocial treatments; safeguarding; supporting staff; and involving relatives.

The practice of using shackles and chains to physically restrain people with mental illness (known as pasung) is widespread in Indonesia (as in many other developing/low middle income countries) and almost universally ignored. This observational ethnographic documentary explores the beliefs and social norms regarding pasung and tells an original story about the social and political activism to free people from this practice and the process that leads to the release of victims of pasung such as Yayah, a young woman who has been chained inside a small room for 17 years. In particular, the film follows the activities that have been initiated by an organization in Cianjur (West Java) that is led and run by people with mental health problems.
