The Two Views . . . Both Are Real
Authors: Wicks Robert J. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
One of the greatest gifts people can enjoy and share with others is a sense of one’s own inner peace, but people can’t share what they don’t have. This book offers a succinct list of essential elements for effectively mentoring oneself—especially during difficult times. They are designed to help shape the right attitude (clarity balanced with kindness) toward improving self-exploration and enhancing personal understanding. Following this, 50 brief lessons and illustrative stories are offered with the belief that it is not the amount of darkness in the world or people that is crucial; it is how people stand in that darkness (having a healthy perspective) that makes all the difference. The main topics include unlearning, preventing loss of emotional energy, self-forgiveness, toxic compassion, detachment, posttraumatic growth, the four types of friends needed in a strong interpersonal network, and inhabiting and modeling unpopular strengths. Underlying the contents and philosophy of the book is that vulnerability cannot, and should not, be ignored, avoided, or escaped. Instead, it needs to be psychologically inhabited with a spirit of humility because when one takes knowledge and adds humility, one gets wisdom. And, when one takes this very wisdom and adds it to compassion—including self-compassion—one gets the love that is at the heart of a rich and caring life.

Introduction
Authors: Carten Alma J. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The introductory chapter notes the substantive influence of W. E. B. DuBois on the academic culture of the School and his continuing influence on contemporary black thought leaders, identifies targeted audiences and the continuing relevance of social work programs housed in the historically black colleges and universities, and clarifies the definition of the Afrocentric perspective as used by contemporary scholars and its alignment with social work’s ecological strengths-based perspective. Important lessons are identified that can be learned from an examination of the School in promoting the humanistic goals of the social work profession in meeting the ongoing challenges of and illusive quest for a more perfect union in what is often a socially unjust societal context.
The Scientific Heritage
Authors: Carten Alma J. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Social work’s ongoing quest for professional status began with the 1915 Flexner Speech, and continued with a struggle to achieve balance between micro and macro practice interventions. The Social Work Grand Challenges, a national initiative of the Academy of Social Work and Social Research, promoted an emphasis on science to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Mary Richmond’s publications explicated the casework method, and the Pittsburgh Survey and The Philadelphia Negro were early efforts to use science to advance informed and planful approaches for understanding and developing evidence-based interventions for solving the pressing social ills of the times.
