Crime & Elder Abuse: An Integrated Perspective by Brian K. Payne     

Kathy Kellett PhD 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(3):239-240

The problem of reducing withdrawal and enhancing the lives of nursing home patients and other elderly members of society becomes more serious as the number of aged increases. Declines in the ability of elderly may be attributable, in certain cases, to disuse of intellectual capacities. Social reinforcement through reading activities has been proposed as a means of enhancing the performance of the aged and relieving the pain of social deprivation. In order to investigate this hypothesis, two reading groups were formed in a 100‐bed convalescent home; each group met for 6 weeks for 45 minutes. Short stories of high interest were read and discussed. Patients appeared to appreciate and enjoy the sessions. Problems of conducting similar programs were discussed and further research suggested.  相似文献   

Shaking the “Magic 8 Ball”: Reflections of a First-Time Teacher     

Eileen McGranahan MSW  PhD 《Journal of Teaching in Social Work》2013,33(1-2):19-34

Social work doctoral candidates and others without much or any formal teaching experience or training are frequently invited to teach a variety of graduate-level social work courses. This beginning teaching experience can be quite challenging both personally and professionally. Yet, it is seldom discussed in the literature, especially from a personal perspective. This paper seeks to address that gap by providing a narrative account of the author's first-time experience teaching an Advanced Clinical Practice course to fifteen second year social work masters students. Included is an examination of influences on the experience of teaching, with particular attention to the importance of attending to student needs, teaching techniques, and to who the “self” is that one brings to teaching. Implications of the author's experience, including an appended “list” of what might have been done differently is presented as a general guide for other new social work educators as well as for those who mentor them.  相似文献   

Factors Influencing M.S.W. Students' Interest in Clinical Practice     

Robin Perry PhD 《Journal of Teaching in Social Work》2013,33(1):47-70

This study utilizes linear and log‐linear stochastic models to examine the impact that a variety of variables (including graduate education) have on M.S.W. students' desires to work in clinical practice. Data was collected biannually (between 1992 and 1998) from a complete population sample of all students entering and exiting accredited graduate programs of social work in California (n = 5,793). The influences of past practice experiences, professional motivations, socio‐demographic characteristics, ideological affiliations, and education and training experiences while a graduate students were all examined. Findings suggest that there is tremendous commonality in the variability of interest toward doing clinical practice among all student groups both before and after the completion of graduate studies. Male and female students, students of varied ethnic, social class and political identifications/affiliations, along with students of varied ages did not differ in their desire or interest to engage in clinical practice. The desire to prepare for private practice had the strongest influence—that was maintained over the course of their education—on students' interests in clinical social work. Desires to work with the poor were not associated with students' desires to be clinicians who wish to apply their trade across a wide variety of problems and populations.  相似文献

Accessibility and Order: Crossing Borders in Child Abuse Forensic Reports     

Marlee M. Spafford OD  PhD  Catherine F. Schryer PhD  Lorelei Lingard PhD  Marcellina Mian MDCM  MHPE 《Technical Communication Quarterly》2013,22(2):118-143

Physicians write child abuse forensic reports for nonphysicians. We examined 73 forensic reports from a Canadian children's hospital for recurrent strategies geared toward making medical information accessible to nonmedical users; we also interviewed four report writers and five readers. These reports featured unique forensic inserts in addition to headings, lists, and parentheses, which are typical of physician letters for patients. We discuss implications of these strategies that must bridge the communities of medical, social, and legal practice.  相似文献   

Helping Youth in Underserved Communities Envision Possible Futures     

Martha L. Slattery PhD 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(2):209-212

Empowering youth through the exploration of their possible futures is a fresh and innovative approach to the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model (TPSR). The purpose of this study was to examine the combination of TPSR with the theory of possible selves. This combination, called the Career Club, was a program specifically designed to better assist students in understanding and facilitating reflective discussions on their future decisions. Career Club was taught weekly for nine sessions, 90 min each, at an inner city elementary school in a large metropolitan city. Participants comprised 12 seventh- and eighth-grade boys and girls who had at least 1 year and up to 5 years of experience in a TPSR program. Data sources included document analysis, lesson observations, formal interviews, and observational field notes. Themes were classified into the following categories: hopedfor-selves and feared selves—a delicate balance, coaching as a necessary component, and coming to understand possible futures. These results indicated that Career Club was effective in providing the participants a meaningful career exploration in coaching. Data also suggested these coaching experiences facilitated reflective discussions on realizing their future orientation choices.  相似文献

How Not to Work and Play with Others: An Updated Taxonomy of Dysfunctional Individual Behaviors in Groups     

Judith A. Kolb PhD 《Performance Improvement》2016,55(2):12-20

Much of what we do in today's organizations involves working collectively in groups or teams. Certain individual behaviors hinder this effort. In this article, the author proposes a taxonomy of dysfunctional individual group member behaviors that is informed by the much‐cited list of self‐serving behaviors proposed by Benne and Sheats in 1948. This taxonomy identifies six individual dysfunctional behaviors using the categories of personal relating, power, and performance.  相似文献
