Download or read book Exemplary Social Intervention Programs for Members and Their Families written by David Guttmann and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this uplifting book, a number of organizations and individuals are featured as exemplary prototypes whose experiences are worthy of being disseminated to persons working in the social services. In a coherent and coordinated manner, the organizations presented reveal how their programs function to make a difference. Readers can analyze the details behind these models and utilize them in their own work to make a difference in the lives of whom they serve. Exemplary Intervention Programs for Members and Their Families reveals to readers that, in many instances, exemplary program developers were risk takers who deviated from traditional modes and practices. Their steadfast belief that they and their organization could improve the workplace and service to the client and society resulted in actions of heroic proportions, even when derided by professional peers. Social services providers to families will be inspired by these featured innovative approaches to making a difference, which include programs, individuals, and organizations: Through the Looking Glass--An organization which provides clinical and supportive services, training, and research involving families where an adult with a disability or medical condition takes responsibility for the care of well-functioning children. Serving Holocaust Survivors and Survivor Families--An intervention program that recognizes that older survivors of the Holocaust express diversity in personality, perception of reality, memory of trauma and loss, and control of stress. Craig Whitman's "Make a Difference Phenomenon"--His empowering story of being an adult developmental home provider for two mentally retarded individuals, who lived semi-independently in a house next door. McKnight Foundation's Families in Poverty (FEP) Initiative--Seven parenting/family stability programs which achieved success by high levels of exchange of information, a resonated agency mission, and behavior characterized by altruism, responsibility, egalitarianism, justice, and honesty. An Israeli Experience of Intervention with Families in Extreme Distress (FED)--A holistic family approach which utilizes a team of dedicated professionals who can deal with the intrafamily power dynamics and the normative demands of organizations and institutions outside the family. The Impact of New Medical Technologies in Human Reproduction--Explores how interventions which plan to make a positive difference in the lives of parents and children may have negative consequences on both. Stepcouples in Stress Inoculation Training (SIT)--An intervention program where therapists can reduce the high stress experienced in stepfamilies. A Pilgrimage by Kris Jeter--Indicates that human service professionals can utilize the pilgrimage process in treatment of emotionally and mentally ill individuals and gain a viable ally in rebuilding the family's structure. Efforts to keep up with modifications in values, ideologies, beliefs, institutional policies and practices requires modifications, even cosmetic ones, in service delivery. Social service providers who want to go beyond cosmetic changes and move to a new model of service buttressed by new values, ideologies, myths and practices, are empowered to do so from the experiences spotlighted in Exemplary Intervention Programs for Members and Their Families. Service providers who adopt new paradigms like those featured in this key resource, are able to become the social artists who will "make a difference."
Download or read book Biomental Child Development written by Frank John Ninivaggi and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-27 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomental Child Development: Perspectives on Psychology and Parenting coins the novel term “biomental” to denote the interaction of the actual and gradually integrating body and mind from conception through development over infancy, childhood, and adolescence. This innovative approach presents a vision that recasts descriptions and explanations of child development to capture the inter-connectedness of the physical and the emotional experience. This book provides the reader with a basic understanding of normal or typical child, adolescent, and adult psychology that is life-positive and energetic. Concrete details—charted chronologically and thematically—of development are outlined stressing both their overlapping biological and psychological significance. In addition to a clear and succinct overview of child development in one user-friendly volume, concrete parenting strategies and numerous examples are given throughout. Time tested theories, modern problems (for example, “bullying” and toxic electronic media use), and pragmatic parenting techniques are integrated, using current findings from psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. Parents, grandparents, and other caregivers will learn techniques to help parents achieve a working understanding of child development and effective skills for each stage. The biomental perspective emphasizes that positive parenting encompasses a diversification of styles that characterize differences among both children and caregivers. Biomental Child Development highlights children’s emotional development and the all too often neglected role of fathers. Bold attention is given to considerations of gender, especially fathers as males, as well as the emotions of envy, greed, jealousy, and competitiveness as they influence development and parenting. How these apparently negative emotions may be recognized and used constructively to enhance development is discussed in detail. This new understanding and approach to child development and parenting is a welcome addition to the resources on parenting currently available.
Download or read book Families written by Alex Liazos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other family textbooks that mostly emphasize conflicts and problems, this book also features the joys and pleasures of family living and its mutually nourishing qualities. Its perspective reflects polls, surveys, and student essays indicating that most people value their families. Families everywhere provide love, support, and sustenance to their members, but they do so in many different arrangements.Understanding the wide variety of families historically and across cultures gives the student a better basis for understanding how families change and a better grasp of more controversial changes such as the gradual acceptance by Westerners of same-sex marriage and child-rearing by single people. Liazos offers two poignant chapters not found in other texts. Family Living (Chapter Six) focuses on the social value of caregiving and family meals. Kin and Community (Chapter Seven) focuses on relationships among kin and the larger community.
Download or read book Traumatic Divorce and Separation written by Lisa Fischel-Wolovick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an integration of the study of trauma, divorce, and separation impacted by domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental illness. While the original research on divorce took place at roughly the same time as the field of trauma, social scientists did not integrate an understanding of trauma into their understanding of domestic violence and divorce. During divorce, such families are impacted by a history of traumatic exposure to abuse and require court intervention that cannot be addressed by mediation or alternative dispute resolution. They require a trauma-informed interdisciplinary response. The text also discusses gender bias against women in the courts and the gender bias task force movement.

Download or read book Death of a Parent written by Debra Umberson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a parent dies, most adults are seized by an unexpected crisis that can trigger a profound transformation. Using in-depth interviews and national surveys, Dr Umberson explains why the death of a parent has strong effects on adults and looks at protective factors that help some individuals experience better mental health following the death than they did when the parent was alive. This is the first book to rely on sound scientific method to document the significant adverse effects of parental death for adults in a national population. Exploring the social and psychological risk factors that make some people more vulnerable than others, readers will come to view the loss of a parent in a new way: as a turning point in adult development.
Download or read book Gender Equality written by Janet C. Gornick and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the labor market and workplace, anti-discrimination rules, affirmative action policies, and pay equity procedures exercise a direct effect on gender relations. But what can be done to influence the ways that men and women allocate tasks and responsibilities at home? In Gender Equality, Volume VI in the Real Utopias series, social scientists Janet C. Gornick and Marcia K. Meyers propose a set of policies-paid family leave provisions, working time regulations, and early childhood education and care-designed to foster more egalitarian family divisions of labor by strengthening men's ties at home and women's attachment to paid work. Their policy proposal is followed by a series of commentaries-both critical and supportive-from a group of distinguished scholars, and a concluding essay in which Gornick and Meyers respond to a debate that is a timely and valuable contribution to egalitarian politics.
Download or read book Protean Literacy written by Concha Delgado-Gaitan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1996. During the author's decade of critical ethnography in Carpinteria, California, she has illuminated the intricate relationships between Latino families as together they build a sociopolitical community to bridge family and school alliances. How they extend their learning from the social networks to the family arena and to the personal, and in reverse, represents their protean responses to the diversity and adversity in their lives. This life-story captures the collective and individual texts of the Latino children, their parents and educators used to empower themselves to transform discontinuity in an age where continuity is increasingly foreign.
