This book examines the effects of nineteenth-century industrialization on the strength of relationships within the family and between generations. Dr. Janssens' quantitative approach, based on Dutch population registers, reveals a new perspective: although family life did go through some changes, early industrialization did not lead to the destruction of nineteenth-century family life, as the traditionally dominant view contended. This innovative study also illuminates wider social issues--the nature of hierarchies, class structure and household organization.

In a culture where mental problems are often viewed as a stigma that brings shame to the family, this documentary breaks an important silence. CAN is a seminal film about Asian Americans suffering from mental illness. In a culture where mental problems are often viewed as a stigma that brings shame to the family, this documentary breaks an important silence. Can Truong is among millions of refugee “boat people” fleeing Vietnam in the 1970s. In the United States he becomes a model student, aspiring to be a doctor. After graduating at the top of his high school class and being accepted as a pre-med student at the University of Chicago, he begins experiencing difficulties and is diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder. After numerous attempts to continue his studies, he is forced to leave the university due to difficulties concentrating and studying. After leaving school, Can experiments unsuccessfully with shock treatments and medications and becomes involved in the “mental health consumer movement” which focuses on recovery through self-determination and peer support. Inspired by his peers, he embarks on a healing journey of a different kind—trying to resolve cultural differences with his traditional Confucian father, deconstructing his painful childhood wounds, volunteering with mental health organizations that promote recovery, and exploring spiritual and holistic healing modalities. Can ultimately reconciles with his father and graduates with a degree in marketing. Adult College

Suitable for practice courses at the BSW or MSW levels, the 40 carefully crafted vignettes in this collection are drawn from actual cases and combine practitioner expertise, rigorous scholarship, and current social work knowledge. A wide range of settings, client systems, and problems are presented, as are suggestions for assessing the information provided and formulating an intervention plan. The first three units are organized chronologically, proceeding from beginning to middle and ending phases of practice with clients. Unit four includes cases focusing on special issues—exceptions to the rule—in social work practice, such as conflicting values and ethics, working with diverse populations, and working with involuntary clients. Readers interested in focusing on particular groups and kinds of issues will also find a helpful index of cases organized by issue and client population.

Challenges in Professional Supervision draws on the latest research and theory to explore issues, trends and developments in supervision work. The provision of excellent supervision is strongly linked to improved performance and staff retention. In this book, supervision is examined across a broad range of settings, addressing concerns common to a range of professions, including health, social work and counselling. The book is divided into two sections: the first describes the contemporary themes in professional supervision and the second discusses the models and skills being employed to deliver it. Issues such as supervising ethically, practitioner wellbeing and managing the process are all explored. There are also chapters on group supervision, supervision of managers and how to have difficult conversations. This book is ideal for managers and senior practitioners in health and social care with an active interest in developing, energising and inspiring their supervision practice, as well as academics interested in keeping up-to-date with developments in the field.

What are the social and cultural features that have the most impact on the interpretation of the legal standard, 'best interest of the child'? One method for answering this question is through a comparison of two societies, Sweden and the United States, both of which apply the same legal standard to similar contested custody and visitation cases. This study views love, law, and knowledge as separate discourses. Love encompasses the interpretations of the actors whose claims arise from the emotions associated with care, concern, and relationships, namely parents, the children who are the subject of a case, and other family members. Justice encompasses the interpretations and claims which are made by judges, but its discourse includes the legal process and legal policies. Knowledge is encompassed by the concerns and claims of professionals and/or experts including social science discussions of care, welfare, and psychology and the interpretations and descriptions given by the professionals and experts regarding the actors in the cases. This book hypothesizes that a comparison of two societies that focuses on the interaction between the discourses of love, justice, and knowledge, in the process of decision-making in best interests of the child disputed custody cases, reveals features of decision-making that would be unavailable to researchers studying custody disputes in only one society.

Social workers and other professionals often struggle with how to identify and deal with child maltreatment. Mary Mulvaney describes the different types of child abuse and neglect, discusses the risk and protective factors involved in assessing for maltreatment, and highlights the use of strength-based interventions needed in such cases. She demonstrates how to engage a 19 year old Latina client whose two children were removed from her care due to neglect, by accepting her initial resistance to what she feels is interference in her family, and identifying and utilizing the strengths in the client, her system, and the community to develop a case plan that meets both protective services and client goals.
