Multiple-Family Psychoeducational Group for the Parents of Persons with Schizophrenia
Authors: Walsh Joseph 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter discusses multiple family psychoeducational group interventions and their rationale for use with the family members of persons who have schizophrenia. Psychoeducation offered in multiple family groups (MFGs) for schizophrenia can be helpful in decreasing stress to family caregivers of people with severe mental illness and preventing relapse and hospitalization. Common group topics include theories of schizophrenia, its course, the positive and adverse effects of medications, the relationship between stress and symptoms, available resources for persons with schizophrenia and their families, the nature of professional interventions, managing family emotional responses to the illness, and mobilizing strengths for improved family functioning. The group process, as exemplified through a case study, is intended to help families experience less burden and stress, reduce their sense of stigma, help them assist each other with parenting, and normalize their communications.
Motivational Interviewing
Authors: CORCORAN JACQUELINE 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of motivational interviewing, which is a client-centered and collaborative, yet directive approach for working with a person's intrinsic motivation to change. Originally formulated for the treatment of alcohol use disorders, motivational interviewing — a brief treatment model (one to four sessions) — has now been applied to many problem areas. Several guiding principles underlie the techniques of motivational interviewing: expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance, supporting self-efficacy, and developing a change plan. These principles are enacted through the following techniques: listening reflectively/demonstrating empathy, eliciting self-motivational statements strategies to handle resistance, and enacting a decisional balance.
Substance Abuse
Authors: MATTO HOLLY C. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter describes how to apply the strengths- and skills-building model to substance use disorders after building a rationale for the use of the model with this problem area. Specifically, motivational enhancement strategies help increase client commitment to changing substance abusing behaviors, solution-focused interviewing focuses on strengths-finding, and cognitive-behavioral therapy targets skills-building. Clients are seen as agents of change, and practitioners use language that implies and encourages change. A rationale is also provided for the use of art therapy in this particular chapter as it is consistent with a strengths orientation. Art therapy uses a non-confrontational, collaborative approach and validates the client's construction of the problem. The strengths- and skills-building model is applied, along with art therapy techniques, to a case example in a short-term inpatient substance abuse treatment facility.
Working With Physical Abuse and Neglect
Authors: CORCORAN JACQUELINE , JONES AUDREY , ANKERSTJERNE CHRISTINE 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter continues to explore the application of the strengths- and skills-building model to work with parents in the child welfare system. It focuses on physical abuse and neglect. No matter the role of the Child Protective Services worker — investigator, ongoing worker, or foster care worker — it is essential that a collaborative relationship is set up with the client in which concern, empathy, respect, and acceptance of the individual are conveyed. Three case examples are described to illustrate techniques at the various stages of the strengths- and skills-building helping process.
Working With Nonoffending Parents of Sexual Abuse Victims
Authors: CORCORAN JACQUELINE , HART DIANNA , GARELL KRISTIN A. , BERRY-EDWARDS JANICE 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter covers the use of the strengths and skills-building model with non-offending parents whose children have recently disclosed sexual abuse. One important goal is to assess and enhance the parents' supportiveness of the child, using motivational and solution-focused techniques. Specifically, solution-focused scaling interventions allow parents as well as professionals to view supportiveness on a continuum rather than in a dichotomous way. Seeing a mother as either supportive or not can create cognitive dissonance in which a mother might be forced to defend a premature position of not believing and protecting her child. Another goal of the work is to provide parents with information about sexual abuse dynamics. This information needs to be relayed through a collaborative process in which the worker uses deductive questioning, adult analogies, and normalizes parents' concerns. Case examples illustrate major techniques and involve both individual and group modalities.
Theoretical Perspectives
Authors: Kurst-Swanger Karel , Petcosky Jacqueline L. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter examines the historical roots of family violence research and theory. Four major theoretical models and their specific theories are presented. Theories are explored within micro, meso, and macro levels of analysis and include: psychiatric/psychopathological models; and socio-psychological theories such as traumatic bonding theory, stress theory, social conflict theory, power theory, resource theory, exchange/social control theory, symbolic interactionist theory, socio-biological/evolutionary theory, and social learning theory. Socio-cultural models are examined including: patriarchal/feminist theory, culture of violence theory, political economy theory, and environmental stress/strain theory. Multidimensional models are also presented including general systems theory/global theory and ecological theory.
Intimate Partner Abuse
Authors: Kurst-Swanger Karel , Petcosky Jacqueline L. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter explores the unique characteristics of violence between intimate partners. It begins with an overview of the trends that have guided the salience of domestic violence intervention throughout history. The evolution of intervention strategies are discussed, including the institutionalization of advocacy and services for victims, police and court responses, and legislative reform. The chapter examines abuse in intimate relationships in more depth, focusing on special populations such as gay and lesbian couples, elderly couples, and men as victims. It also reviews the different forms of abuse often found in intimate partner relationships such as emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; stalking, homicide, and parental kidnapping. It concludes with a discussion of some of the key consequences of intimate partner violence including: poverty, homelessness, physical and psychological injury, and the impact such abuse has on children.
INVENTING JEWISH MUSIC
Authors: Bohlman Philip V. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractAs the first of three chapters on the “ontologies” of Jewish music — music’s aesthetic, cultural, and musical identities and capacity to exist in the world of modern Jewish society — this chapter includes a series of case studies that illustrate moments when Jewish music is identified as such. Invention refers to the ways in which imagining Jewish music undergoes a change to practicing and performing it. The music of the urban synagogue, therefore, passes from oral tradition to the hands of professionals in the nineteenth century, the Jewish cantors whose lives and publications the chapter details. Folk music attracts the attention of Jewish scholars, who ascribe specific attributes and categories to the music they collect in villages and publish in the cities of Europe. Above all, terms such as “Jewish music” acquire new currency by the end of the nineteenth century, inventing Jewish music for modern Jews as if that music had existed since time immemorial.
PARABLES OF THE METROPOLE
Authors: Bohlman Philip V. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractCentral to the chapter’s survey of emerging Jewish popular-music genres is the role of the city as a new cultural context for Jewish music making by the turn of the century. Immigrants from rural Eastern Europe, Jewish musicians entered all areas of the urban musical cultures of Vienna, Berlin, and other cities, where they performed for Jewish and non-Jewish audiences with enormous success. The city was also the site for mixing musical genres, creating new sounds in popular music and establishing new genres—for example, cabaret and Yiddish theater. The chapter analyzes numerous broadsides and hit songs such as Gustav Pick’s “Viennese Coachman’s Song.” Individual musicians, music publishers, and ensembles serve as a collective biography throughout the chapter.
JEWISHNESS IN MUSIC: MIRRORS OF SELFNESS IN JEWISH MUSIC
Authors: Bohlman Philip V. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractIdentifying certain forms of music as Jewish and establishing the criteria for how Jewishness in music would be recognized preoccupied ideological and aesthetic concerns of many Jews entering modernity by the end of the nineteenth century. This chapter concerns itself primarily with the ways in which Jewishness would counterbalance the nineteenth-century notion of absolute music, in which textual meaning negated contextual functions. Richard Wagner’s invective 1850 essay on “Jewishness in Music” unleashed responses until the Holocaust, and the chapter summarizes many of these, especially by leading Jewish music critics. Examples are drawn from Mahler, Jewish social organizations, and political musical traditions of Bertolt Brecht, Hanns Eisler, Kurt Tucholsky, and others from the Weimar period separating the world wars.
STAGING JEWISH MUSIC
Authors: Bohlman Philip V. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter employs the metaphors of drama and the stage to bear witness to the vastly varied forms Jewish music had taken on the eve of World War II and the Holocaust. The first stages are those of popular theater, especially cabarets like the original Budapest Orpheum Society, which mixed styles and genres, and revolutionized European popular music and the music brought by immigrants to North America and used for Yiddish theater and film. By allowing hybridity, the stage also encouraged Jews and non-Jews to cross the cultural borders separating them. The Holocaust radically altered the path of border crossing, however, and the chapter concludes by examining case studies of music in the Holocaust and the concentration camps, especially that of Viktor Ullmann (1898–1944) from the camp at Terezín, which together provide transcendence in the historical drama of European Jewish music.
3 Religion and Stable Self‐Government
Authors: Farr Thomas F. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter examines how a more realistic and historically accurate understanding of religion and democracy can increase the effectiveness of U.S. foreign policy in influencing the natural desire of peoples for freedom. It begins with a discussion of the nature of democracy and what makes it stable and lasting. It asks how and why U.S. diplomacy has ignored the connections between religion and democracy, and how the deficit might be remedied. It surveys America's understanding of religion at the founding and beyond. It describes concepts vital to a refurbishing of American diplomacy in an age of faith: religious pluralism and the free market, the “twin tolerations,” and social and spiritual capital. It analyzes the history of Protestant and Catholic experiences with liberal governance and provides insights into the larger question of how religious societies might accommodate themselves to democracy.
Social and Economic Justice Foundation
Authors: Delgado Melvin , Staples Lee 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter presents a four-part definitional and philosophical foundation upon which to build a contextualization of youth rights and their social-political status within society. It includes definitions of social justice, adultism, youth rights, and a social and economic justice agenda. These four perspectives on justice are influenced by moral philosophy and sociology. It is argued that these four concepts are intertwined and that a commitment to these four concepts is essential if adults are to play meaningful roles in working respectfully and effectively with young people in youth-led community organizing.
Buddhist Romanticism: Art, Spontaneity, and the Wellsprings of Nature
Authors: McMahan David L. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter investigates the articulation of Buddhism in terms of Romanticism and Transcendentalism by examining how Buddhism has come to be conceived as having a special link to art and creativity. D. T. Suzuki, a key figure in this conception, amalgamated German idealist and American Transcendentalist cosmological concepts with Buddhist ones and presented the Japanese poets, Zen monks, and samurai warriors as deeply and religiously attentive to nature in ways similar to the English Romantics and American Transcendentalists. His conception of spiritual freedom as a spontaneous, emancipatory consciousness that transcends rational intellect and social convention drew heavily on these figures. The idea caught on with other influential figures like Lama Govinda and Sangharakshita and has inspired a plethora of popular books, as well as programs in meditation and creativity in monasteries and universities.
A Guide to Evidence-Based Group Work
Authors: Macgowan Mark J. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis book illustrates, step by step, how to practice evidence-based group work. As group workers are increasingly being held accountable to evaluate, monitor, and improve their practice, there are scant resources available that apply specifically to their practice. The book is organized around the process and philosophy of evidence-based practice, and consists of the following four stages, which provides the framework for the book: how to formulate a practice question; search for evidence; critically appraise the evidence for its research merit, impact, and applicability; and apply the best available evidence and evaluate if desirable outcomes were achieved. The evidence-based group work framework teaches how to apply skillfully best practices through practical learning activities, case examples, research designs, step-by-step guidelines and checklists, assessment tips, and detailed instructions for formulating questions and evaluating answers.
Social Work with Latinos
Authors: Delgado Melvin 
Published: January 2009

AbstractDespite evidence showing Latinos to be among the fastest growing populations in the US, very little attention has been given to practice with Latino individuals, families, and communities. Beginning with a comprehensive definition and demographic map of Latinos, Latino culture, and a cultural asset paradigm, this book identifies strategies for designing culturally relevant programs and services. Chapters highlight health and social concerns including issues surrounding gender, religion, language, immigration, substance abuse, and health conditions. More importantly, the chapters also outline a practice framework that places cultural assets at the center. The book provides a rich paradigm for understanding perspectives on culture, access, assets, and how they intersect to inform best practices. The step-by-step framework guides through six stages: pre-contact assessment, initial contact and asset identification, resource mapping, relationship building, intervention, and evaluation. Each stage is heavily grounded in theoretical and socio-political considerations with particular attention to thinking critically about selecting best practices and how to sustain an evidence-based practice.
Latino Cultural Values and Beliefs
Authors: Delgado Melvin 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter discusses the most salient and important Latino cultural values and beliefs (“spiritual beliefs” and “cultural values”). It argues that these cultural values and beliefs form a core that either directly or indirectly influences numerous other values, which in turn influence behaviors. The chapter also presents personal experiences, or stories, of how cultural values and beliefs were manifested in social work practice at the micro and macro levels. The planning of any social intervention at the micro or macro level will necessitate that these Latino values and beliefs be seriously considered.
The Implementation of Market-Based Child Welfare Innovations
Authors: Meezan William , McBeath Bowen 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter describes the changes that foster care agencies made, or anticipated making, as they shifted to a performance-based contracting system. Using qualitative analyses of sixty-four in-depth interviews with administrators and supervisors from nine non-profit child welfare agencies, the study compares the actual adaptations made by agencies working in this environment to changes that other agencies anticipated making as they moved into to this environment. The chapter identifies multiple organizational, managerial, and staff-related changes undertaken by child welfare agencies entering this contracting environment, finds that agencies entering performance-based environments do not anticipate the depth of change necessary to succeed within them, discusses the differences in perceptions of changes that occur between staff at various organizational levels, and notes the impact of this performance-based contracting on agency staff and foster children.
The Need for a Moral Order
Authors: Kupperman Joel J. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter examines attempts to base ethics entirely on some conception of a moral order. It argues that a necessary base of any acceptable moral judgment is that it can play a part in an acceptable moral order, and that what counts as an acceptable moral order cannot be accounted for in purely contractualist terms. Hence, contractualism is true, but it is far from the whole truth about ethics.
Coming to Terms with the Values of Science: Insights from Feminist Science Studies Scholarship
Authors: Wylie Alison , Nelson Lynn Hankinson 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter examines the role of feminist values in archeology and developmental biology. It considers two case studies that illustrate a number of kinds of constructive difference that (feminist) contextual values can make to scientific practice. In the first set of cases considered, from archeology, the value commitments of knowers—their nonobjectivity in the second sense—is instrumental in improving objectivity in the third, epistemic sense. The second case study, from biology, illustrates the play of contextual factors in this process of interpreting and weighing constitutive epistemic values; here a feminist angle of vision generates a fruitful reassessment of accepted metamethodological conventions that have had the (unintended) consequence of allowing sex/gender stereotypes to persist in the explanatory framework of the field.
Evidence and Value Freedom
Authors: Sober Elliott 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
This chapter examines values and scientific evidence. It argues that one way to put the ideal of value freedom is believing that a proposition has good or bad ethical consequences is not evidence for its truth. The evidence relation is a three-place one between data, hypothesis, and background knowledge, thus allowing background knowledge to link fact and value. It is also argued that there is a qualified sense in which the value-free ideal is right: judgments about the moral consequences of a proposition cannot provide new information about its truth.
The Development and Use of Data for Child Welfare System Reform
Authors: Goerge Robert M. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThe University of Chicago's Chapin Hall Center for Children proposed the use of administrative data collected in Illinois public child protective services agencies' computerized information systems to create a longitudinal database of the reporting and investigation of child abuse and neglect, children's experiences in foster care, children's and their families' characteristics, and foster care provider characteristics. This initial database ultimately grew to become the Integrated Database on Child and Family Programs in Illinois (IDB), an analytic resource that made it possible for researchers to create a comprehensive picture of the interactions children and their families have with various services offered by the state. This chapter describe the sequence of events that led to the implementation of the Quick Response project, which drew on the findings in the database.
The Relationship Between Research and Practice in Implementing the RAF Method for Quality Assurance in Residential Settings for Children in Israel
Authors: Zemach-Marom Tamar 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
The RAF method for regulation, assessment, and follow-up is aimed at improving the quality of care provided by an institution or a service using a more objective, systematic, and uniform method of regulation. This chapter provides a retrospective report on the collaboration between the Myers-JDC-Brookdale Institute and the Children and Youth Services in implementing the RAF system. It presents an overview of the project and its context, a description of the RAF method, and an account of its impact on the Children and Youth Services system of residential settings for children at risk. It also describes the project's mode of operation and identify the key actions taken. Finally, it discusses the lessons learned about the ways in which data can have an impact on practitioners.
Research-Based Practice Tools to Improve Child Welfare Services in England: Using theGoing Home?Practice Tool to Support the Effective Reunification of Families
Authors: Axford Nick , Berry Vashti , Bullock Roger , Little Michael , Madge Jill , Morpeth Louise , Mount Kevin 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThe Going Home? practice tool was developed to help professionals responsible for looking after children who have been separated from their families to manage the children's care careers more effectively and so ensure that their eventual reunification has the best chances of success. This chapter begins by describing the policy context in which the practice tool was developed, focusing on the problem of drift in residential and foster care. It considers some of the limitations of orthodox methods of research dissemination in social care as they appeared at the time, summarizes the broad approach to dissemination embodied by practice tools, and outlines the rationale for their application in children's services in the United Kingdom. The chapter then describes the Going Home? tool itself, along with the studies that underpin it, and outlines how the tool was evaluated, the degree to which it affected social work practice and, ultimately, its impact on children's well-being.
Two Puritan New England and the Foundations of the American Jeremiad
Authors: Murphy Andrew R. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis chapter provides an in‐depth exploration of the jeremiad in second‐generation New England (c.1660–1685). Delivered primarily in the form of election or fast day sermons, the New England jeremiad decried the community's falling‐away from its godly origins, praised the colonies' founders and founding generation, and called for repentance and reformation. The New England jeremiad's lamentation of decline appeared hand in hand with parallels between New England settlers and the ancient Israelites, reinforcing the community's sense of chosenness. The jeremiad was used by clergy and magistrates in New England as a form of social control, but performed this function not merely by suppressing dissent but by offering early New Englanders a vision of their community as singularly blessed by God. The jeremiad did not fade away after the seventeenth century, but continued into the Revolutionary and early national periods as a central part of American politics and culture.
