Reasons for Hope for Children and Families: A Perspective and Overview
Authors: Burns Barbara J. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter argues that there are reasons for hope in terms of improved treatment and better outcomes in the field of child mental health. It cites four factors that provide the basis for hope and the rationale for taking action to implement care in the community instead of institutional settings. There is increasing evidence documenting positive outcomes for community-based interventions, improved understanding about how to change clinical practice, the availability of tools and training approaches to improve clinical practice, and policy to facilitate and support the implementation of selected community-based interventions. The aims of the book and overview of the subsequent chapters are presented.
Community-Based Interventions in a System of Care and Outcomes Framework
Authors: Duchnowski Albert J. , Kutash Krista , Friedman Robert M. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThe response of the mental health system to troubled youth and their families is in a period of transition, and changes are occurring in both the conceptualization of what constitutes effective intervention and in how services are delivered. This chapter describes the initiatives and research findings that have driven these changes within a system of care and outcomes framework. It traces the history of children's mental health services, and presents forecasts for future developments.
Mentoring to Facilitate Resiliency in High-Risk Youth
Authors: Vance J. Eric 
Published: January 2009

AbstractCommunity mentoring is a rapidly growing movement that affiliates high-risk youth with healthy adult role models from outside their immediate families. This chapter looks at the notion of mentoring, discusses the rationale for this type of intervention, and describes a model of community mentoring designed to enhance psychosocial resiliency in high-risk youth. Research evidence for the effectiveness of mentoring as an intervention strategy for youth with severe emotional disorders is examined.
Family Support and Education
Authors: Ireys Henry T. , Devet Katherine A. , Sakwa Diane 
Published: January 2009

AbstractFamily support programs involve systemic efforts to support the psychological and social resources of family members as they respond to a continuing stressor. These programs often involve “experienced peers,” “veteran parents,” or “supporting partners” who develop relationships with target parents based on their previous experience with similar stressors or consequences. This chapter focuses on community-based support programs for families of children with serious emotional disorders. It presents the theoretical foundations for family support interventions, and then discusses various issues and parameters affecting the development, implementation, and evaluation of the family support program, Parent Connections.
Policy Implications Relevant to Implementing Evidence-Based Treatment
Authors: English Michael J. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter presents policy implications for emerging community-based interventions for children with severe emotional disorders, highlighting their theories of change, the changing roles of key participants, and their potential impact on environments within which these practices are evolving. Policy implications for the following topics are addressed: systematic service delivery, community-based care, prevention and early intervention, families, payers, providers, child-serving agencies, research, and training.
Responding to Legal Mandates
Authors: Perlmutter Felice Davidson , Bailey Darlyne , Netting F. Ellen 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter discusses critical legislation that impacts professionals within human service organization. Information is provided about various laws that affect the workplace (e.g., The Family Leave Act, The Equal Opportunity Act, The Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination Act). Case examples are presented to familiarize managerial supervisors with the issues and approaches to be considered in meeting legal mandates.
Building Strategic Alliances
Authors: Perlmutter Felice Davidson , Bailey Darlyne , Netting F. Ellen 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter discusses the developmental stages and issues faced when managerial supervisors engage in building new interorganizational relationships. It begins with an example of alliance building, which is used as reference throughout the chapter as it defines alliance, identifies how different types of interorganizational alliances can be structured, and focuses on how supervisory managers can skillfully work with and in human service alliances. Maria Rodriguez and the Elder Care Management Program is used to illustrate each concept.
Supporting Diversity
Authors: Perlmutter Felice Davidson , Bailey Darlyne , Netting F. Ellen 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter seeks to support the managerial staff in human service organizations who similarly wish to address the reality of diversity within their agency. It focuses on human service organizations since their mission is concerned with meeting the needs of the wide array of consumers being served, with special attention to diversity. The chapter begins with a discussion of the changing population mix within the United States, followed by a definition of diversity. It explores a four-level organizational typology of working with diversity, along with the costs and benefits inherent in the process. A parallel typology is then presented that shifts from the organizational to an individual perspective as a continuum of personal orientations toward diversity is discussed. It concludes with an example of diversity intervention in two human service settings that can serve to stimulate practical approaches to this challenge.
Creating and Sustaining Interdisciplinary Teams
Authors: Perlmutter Felice Davidson , Bailey Darlyne , Netting F. Ellen 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter examines interdisciplinary teams, with the managerial supervisor as team leader and highlights some of the critical intra-team issues. It argues that interdisciplinary teams are one of the most effective organizational strategies for responding and proactively beginning to challenge the rapid, complex changes occurring in both the professions and the environment. Teams have costs and benefits. If correctly created and maintained, with the appropriate leadership and membership, the benefits can far outweigh the costs. Managing teams means dealing with team dysfunction, addressing the paradox of relationship, and providing leadership in the form of designing, coaching, and advocating.
Protecting Managers as Workers
Authors: Perlmutter Felice Davidson , Bailey Darlyne , Netting F. Ellen 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter discusses the protection and nurturing of managerial supervisors, given the problem of employment instability in the human services. It discusses employment-at-will, whistleblowers, and trade unionism for professionals. It concludes with suggestions for organizational supports of management and staff in this challenging time.
Evaluating Program Effectiveness
Authors: Perlmutter Felice Davidson , Bailey Darlyne , Netting F. Ellen 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter explores the professional challenges managers face as they encounter several paradoxes related to program effectiveness. It begins by setting the context within which the supervisory manager can examine the forces that are propelling human service agencies toward outcome-based measurement as a form of accountability. It then highlights what supervisory managers need to know in order to oversee the documentation of program effectiveness through outcome measurement. Given the reality that all contemporary funding sources will reinforce the importance of outcome measurement for program evaluation, it is essential that supervisory managers provide effective leadership in this arena.
Teaching Spirits
Authors: Brown Joseph Epes , Cousins Emily 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This book offers a thematic approach to looking at Native American religious traditions. Within the great multiplicity of Native American cultures, the book observes certain common themes that resonate within many Native traditions. It demonstrates how themes within native traditions connect with each other, at the same time upholding the integrity of individual traditions. The book illustrates each of these themes with explorations of specific native cultures including Lakota, Navajo, Apache, Koyukon, and Ojibwe. It demonstrates how Native American values provide an alternative metaphysics that stand opposed to modern materialism. It also shows how these spiritual values provide material for a serious rethinking of modern attitudes—especially toward the environment—as well as how they may help non-native peoples develop a more sensitive response to native concerns. Throughout, the book draws on the author's extensive personal experience with Black Elk, who came to symbolize for many the greatness of the imperiled native cultures.
Fixing a Center
Authors: Brown Joseph Epes , Cousins Emily 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter focuses on Native American interactions with the land. Many tribes believe in the sustaining power of the land. According to most Native American traditions, the land is alive. Every particular form of the land is experienced as the locus of qualitatively different spirit beings; their presence sanctifies and gives meaning to the land in all its details and contours. These spirits also give meaning to the lives of people who cannot conceive of themselves apart from the land. Apache stores of place, Navajo relationship with the land, conflict over sacred lands, and sacred architecture are discussed.
Cognitive-Behavioral Group Treatment with Mothers of Sexual Abuse Victims
Authors: Corcoran Jacqueline 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter describes and illustrates through case example the use of cognitive-behavior group treatment with non-offending parents (typically mothers) whose preschool children have been sexually abused. The empirical evidence for cognitive-behavioral treatment with sexual abuse victims and their families is presented, followed by a rationale for the use of a group modality with this population. Techniques are targeted toward decreasing maternal stress and improving coping; building maternal support; and providing information on sexual abuse dynamics and how to handle symptoms in children.
Structural Family Therapy with Adolescent Conduct Disorder
Authors: Corcoran Jacqueline 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter begins with a brief overview of structural family therapy and then follows with an empirical rationale for the use of structural family therapy with adolescent conduct disorder. The central goal of structural family therapy is to create a well-functioning structure, which is hierarchically organized with clear boundaries around subsystems. These goals are achieved through enactments, working with interactions in the session, so that new patterns are formed. Assumptions of structural family therapy and its techniques are applied to a case study.
Reinforcement Training with the Partners of Those Who Abuse Substances
Authors: Corcoran Jacqueline 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter covers a type of treatment for substance use that targets partners of the problem drinker. Variations of this type of treatment are categorized together as “reinforcement training,” which revolve around operant behavioral theory and the central importance of reinforcement for increasing desirable behavior (sobriety in the case of substance use). Also central is the concept of antecedent conditions that cue certain behaviors to occur. Applied to substance abuse, partners are trained to pay more positive attention to their partners when they are not drinking and to create opportunities for sobriety. Skills training in communication and conflict resolution are also offered as part of a behavioral approach. Before presenting the application of the model, its empirical evidence will be briefly described, followed by a discussion of when it is appropriate to use reinforcement training as an option for treatment.
Introduction
Authors: Corcoran Jacqueline 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis book covers the family treatment practice theories that have begun to develop an evidence basis to support them. It not only reviews the research evidence to support these theories, but most importantly delineates how to implement them with problems that human service and mental health practitioners commonly see in today's practice settings. Theories discussed include psychoeducation, behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, structural family therapy, and multisystemic therapy. The organization of the book is developmental stage (childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and older adulthood) and type of presenting problem (social problems and mental health disorders).
Phases of the Strengths-and-Skills-Building Model
Authors: CORCORAN JACQUELINE 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter describes a template of the helping process for the strengths- and skill-building model, which includes engagement; exploration of the problem; exploration of the solution; goal-setting; taking action; and evaluation and termination. Treatment phases exist as constructive parameters that serve to define activities and direct focus. For example, problem- and solution-finding opportunities are not necessarily linear; rather, strengths are identified and solution pathways constructed at all points in the process. Specific techniques, procedures, and principles are drawn from each of the three theories, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Treatment of Adolescents With Disruptive Behavior Disorders
Authors: CORCORAN JACQUELINE , SPRINGER DAVID W. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter highlights how the strengths- and skills-building model can be used with adolescent disruptive behavior disorders, which include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing can be used together to build strengths and motivation and to get teens to take responsibility for the change process. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is then offered to address cognitive or behavioral deficits that may have played a role in the disruptive behavior.
The Strengths-and-Skills-Building Model
Authors: CORCORAN JACQUELINE , BELL HOLLY 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter applies the strengths- and skills-building model to women who are living with intimate partner violence. In this approach, the woman's ambivalence about the violent relationship is targeted, and her readiness to take action toward leaving the relationship is assessed through motivational interviewing techniques. The model empowers women by focusing on the strengths and coping capacities that they bring. Skills and capacities are further built by employing cognitive-behavioral techniques, particularly when there is distorted thinking about the acceptability of violence or attributions of blame toward the self. Most importantly, the role of the helper in the strengths- and skills-based model is collaborative rather than confrontative or authoritative in nature.
Child Maltreatment
Authors: Kurst-Swanger Karel , Petcosky Jacqueline L. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter explores a variety of issues and concerns relating to the maltreatment of children. It begins with an examination of the social and historical context in which society views and treats children, and the economic, political, and social conditions related to the evolution of child welfare policy. Various forms of child maltreatment are addressed including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and the various forms of neglect. Current issues related to the various forms of maltreatment are examined including: corporal punishment, Munchausen syndrome by proxy, prenatal substance abuse, ritual abuse, and juvenile sexual offenders. The chapter also discusses ways that child development is affected by maltreatment, specifically reviewing the research regarding the short-term and long-term consequences to cognitive, affective, and physical growth and development.
Preventing Violence in the Home
Authors: Kurst-Swanger Karel , Petcosky Jacqueline L. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter explores the prevention of family violence by examining systemic issues, prevention ideology, the roles of various professional groups in prevention and education, and the role of technology. Systemic issues discussed include the fragmentation of intervention systems, the lack of strength-based models, conflict between professionals in the delivery of services, and the lack of evaluation of various policy and service models. The chapter explores how educators, policy makers, employers, and the mass media can specifically contribute to prevention and how technology is being applied in various ways to improve victims' protection and safety. It includes a discussion of how people can get involved to work toward solutions to the problem of violence in the home.
EAST AND WEST
Authors: Bohlman Philip V. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThe cultural and historical tensions between East and West are among the most complex forces in Jewish history. Jewish music has historically embodied this tension, and it is one of the ways in which modernity emerges as a quality of Jewish music. In the synagogue, prayer and song are directed toward the altar at the eastern end of the sanctuary. Several styles and repertories of modern popular music in Israel are designated as musica mizrahit, literally “eastern music.” In modern Europe East and West also formed along a cultural fault line between Jews speaking Yiddish as a vernacular language in Eastern Europe and Jews speaking other vernaculars in Central Europe, especially German. As Jewish musicians increasingly entered the domains of popular and entertainment music in the late nineteenth century, East and West came to represent two different, even contested, identities in the Diaspora.
PATHS TOWARD UTOPIA
Authors: Bohlman Philip V. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThe ontologies of Jewish music changed to reflect a transformation of the past into a utopian future at the end of the long nineteenth century, especially as World War I brought about the end of much traditional Jewish life in Europe. New cultural movements swept the Diaspora, not least among them Zionism, both in cultural and in political forms. Jewish music absorbed the images of the new utopias beyond the crisis of modernity: the paradise of a modern Israel; new forms of settlement, such as the collective kibbutz; the pioneer songs that allowed Jews in the Diaspora to sing in Hebrew about the past that had the potential to be the future. The case studies in the chapter include the attempt to create a canon of national Israeli art songs in the 1930s and the endeavors of the first organization cultivating Jewish music in the Yishuv, the World Centre for Jewish Music in Palestine, in the late 1930s.
1 Confounded by Faith
Authors: Farr Thomas F. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter describes the “avoidance syndrome” that has characterized U.S. diplomacy's failure to engage religion in the international order. It surveys the evidence for what scholars call the desecularization of the world. It then identifies the two major issues—religious persecution and transnational Islamist terrorism—that ought to have forced U.S. policy makers to address the underlying religious nature of problems in the international order. Diplomats have fallen short in both areas. The chapter ends by describing two key elements of the explanation for diplomacy's ineptness: the culture wars and “secularization theory”—in particular the latter's Rawlsian assumption that religion is inherently emotive and irrational.
2 The Intellectual Sources of Diplomacy's Religion Deficit
Authors: Farr Thomas F. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter explores how the premises of the secularization theory have affected the diplomatic climate of opinion. After some cautions about the limits of intellectual history, it surveys the writings of scholars and policy makers in each of the three major schools of thought in contemporary U.S. foreign policy: realism, liberal internationalism, and neoconservatism. Each of these schools avoids the subject of religion, but for very different reasons. Realists, generally uninterested in the internal affairs of nations, see religion only as a “passion” and a drive to power. Liberal internationalists, although interested in domestic issues, see traditional religion as an obstacle to the furthering of progressive goals like human autonomy. Neoconservatives, despite their commitment to democracy promotion, have seen little connection between religion-driven culture and political development.
6 Interregnum (2000–2002)
Authors: Farr Thomas F. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
With the 2000 election of George W. Bush expectations were high among supporters of an energetic IRF policy. Events, however, were soon to disappoint them. It quickly became apparent that the new President's enthusiasm for religious liberty had few foreign policy implications. Most strikingly, the Bush administration allowed the IRF ambassador's position to remain vacant for some 16 months. Meanwhile, the State Department considered “double hatting” the IRF ambassador's job under the new Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. Within Foggy Bottom the IRF office remained quarantined. Despite the efforts of the author, who was the de facto head of the office, and his small but hardy crew of colleagues, religious freedom remained an insignificant factor in U.S. foreign policy. Surprisingly, this remained true even after the attacks of September 11, 2001. One bright spot was the annual IRF Report, which accurately catalogued the facts of religious persecution.
7 The Lion's Den
Authors: Farr Thomas F. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
The story behind the nomination and confirmation of John Hanford as IRF ambassador brings credit on no one, least of all the IRF supporters who opposed Hanford; the Bush administration which let the wrangling proceed too long; or Hanford himself, who delayed in taking his position even after Senate confirmation. When he finally arrived in May 2002, the Bush-Powell team had been operating well over a year and Hanford had to fight even to maintain authority over his own staff. He quickly discovered what his predecessor had learned: IRF was not a mainstream concern at Foggy Bottom. But John Hanford had a certain comfort level with this arrangement. He preferred to oppose persecution rather than advancing religious freedom. The results over the next few years were decidedly mixed, especially in China, but his work in Vietnam and Saudi Arabia was potentially ground-breaking.
8 Seeking the Heart of Islam
Authors: Farr Thomas F. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
Chapter 8 is woven around the author's trip to Saudi Arabia six months prior to 9/11. There are two faces of Saudi Arabia: Mecca, the birthplace of Islam and the prophet Mohammed, and Riyadh in the Nadj region, the home of Mohammed bin Abd al-Wahhab and the birthplace of Osama Bin Laden. The chapter explores the tensions between the two kingdoms, and the connections between Islam and Islamist extremism, especially as manifested in Saudi understandings of jihad and tawhid. It traces the pernicious Wahhabi public theology from its origins in the 13th century to its ideological covenant with the House of Saud. The author's experiences with Saudi officials, religious minorities in the kingdom, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and the State Department lead him to conclude that Wahhabism will remain a source of terrorism, and a threat to U.S. national security, until the Saudis contain or destroy it via political reform grounded in religious freedom.
