Taylor & Francis Ltd The Nature of Health: How America Lost, and Can
Book SynopsisThis pioneering work addresses a key issue that confronts all industrialised nations: How do we organise healthcare services in accordance with fundamental human rights, whilst competing with scientific and technological advances, powerful commercial interests and widespread public ignorance? "The Nature of Health" presents a coherent, affordable and logical way to build a healthcare system. It argues against a health system fixated on the pursuit of longevity and suggests an alternative where the ability of an individual to function in worthwhile relationships is a better, more human goal. By reviewing the etymology, sociology and anthropology of health, this controversial guide examines the meaning of health, and proves how a community-centred healthcare system improves local economy, creates social capital and is affordable, rational, personal, and just. "This is badly needed nourishment for a medical system glutted on technology, individualism, profit and the pursuit of longevity. Read and be fed." - Christopher Koller, Health Insurance Commissioner, The State of Rhode Island, USA. "Unique. Surprising. A real eye-opener. Just about everyone who doesn't have a vested financial interest in maintaining the status quo will agree that U.S. healthcare is badly broken. [This book] is making it possible for us to refocus from how to provide healthcare to how to achieve health. Their description of health as successful functioning in community, rather than as a measure of longevity is a definition that can make a reader feel healthier as they take gradually appreciate the power of the concept. On this foundation, it is not as hard as one might think to outline a healthcare system that is equitable, affordable and achievable." - Alexander Blount EdD, Professor of Family Medicine, University of Massacusetts Medical Center.Trade Review'Compelling [...] raises important questions about the goals of health- care spending.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Assessing Needs and Planning Care in Social Work
Book SynopsisThe assessment of needs and the process of planning care are central issues in modern social work practice. Skilled assessment of client needs and strengths is essential to effective planning and efficient provision of quality social work services including both counselling and personal care. The focus of this book is on the development of the skills required at each stage of the social work process: assessment, care planning, implementation and evaluation. Throughout the book a balance is maintained between the focus on client involvement and the role of the social worker in an agency. The latter part of the book addresses practical issues in developing new approaches to assessment and care planning: primary workers, individual support and managing change. Social work practitioners, managers and trainers and students on qualifying and pre-qualifying training will find this an invaluable aid to the development of sound and yet creative practice.Trade Review'...written clearly, is free of jargon and contains a wealth of information and thoughtful discussion. The theoretical content is skilfully related to examples of practice and I felt I was being gently lead through concepts which were sometimes complex and profound.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Personal Safety for Social Workers
Book SynopsisThis book is aimed at employers, managers and staff in social work agencies. Historically there has been a slowness to acknowledge the risks which social workers routinely face and some employers have adopted a re-active approach, waiting for incidents to occur before taking action. They are thus placed in the position of having to make policy 'on the hoof' and at a time of crisis. Support to staff who have been attacked has been patchy, and in some instances sadly lacking. The absence of agreed procedures for dealing with violent attacks can leave the staff concerned, feeling unsupported, anxious and stressed. Social work staff, in their turn, may have experienced feelings of guilt when they have been unable to prevent aggression or assault; at best they may lack confidence in the level of understanding and support their line managers will show, and at worst they may feel that they will be blamed for the incident. As a result there is a tendency towards under reporting violent acts. For these reasons a joint approach to the problem is urged which involves social workers, support staff and managers. Personal Safety for Social Workers examines the special issues which social workers, and their employers, need to address. Part 1 reviews some of the information now available about violence in social work settings and within the context of violence in society at large. The respective roles and responsibilities of employers and employees are discussed, and guidance offered on developing a workplace personal safety policy and on the steps which will need to be taken for effective implementation. Advice is given on developing procedures for reporting violent incidents and for providing after-care to staff who have been on the receiving end of violence. This section of the book also looks at the ways in which the design and management of the workplace can enhance personal safety and provides guidelines to social workers on the issues to consider when working away from the normal work base. Part 2 contains detailed personal safety guidelines for use by individual social workers in a variety of work situations. Part 3 addresses training issues and provides a number of sample training programmes. A Reference Section gives information about further reading, training materials and sources of further help, advice and information. The message of this book is that proper attention to risk can reduce both the incidence of aggression and its development into violent acts. Preventive action can have the dual effect of protecting staff, and also of providing quality services in a more sensitive way to social work clients.Trade Review’There is a profusion of good advice, with checklists frequently used. Readers will gain a good overall grasp of the issues involved in this increasingly important field, and an expanded set of ideas on how to keep themselves safe.’ Professional Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: Background: Violence at work; The risks in perspective; Violence against social workers; Defining violence and aggression; Employer and employee roles; Safety in the social work setting; Developing a policy; Implementing a policy; Reporting violent incidents; The workplace; Residential and day care settings; Away from the workplace; After-care.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cognitive-behavioural Social Work in Practice
Book SynopsisCognitive-Behavioural Social Work in Practice appears at an interesting time for social work and social services. More than ever, practitioners are required to provide evidence for the effectiveness of what they do, while the rights of service users to ethically competent practice in which they are partners is high on the agenda. Drawing on a wide area of research, as well as the practice experience of its 18 contributors, it covers a broad range of cognitive-behavioural intervention with different client groups in a variety of settings, including child care, family work, probation and offending behaviour, mental health, disability and issues concerning older people. The first chapter sets out lucidly the theoretical and research basis for cognitive-behavioural practice and is rich in case examples. Each subsequent chapter adopts a case study approach to its subject, either by providing a single case study or by the detailed exploration of an area of practice combined with case examples. The volume is unique in not only bringing together practitioners and academics but in presenting the work of the 'academic, reflective practitioner'. It is thus an accessible, informative guide for professionals, students and educators who, with all their working pressures and constraints, strive to provide help based on best evidence.Trade Review’I would recommend this book to practitioners wishing to breathe some fresh air into practice possibilities and to trainee social workers who wish to learn an approach which will build upon other behaviourally-based approaches in their intervention toolbag.’ British Journal of Social Work ’An accessible practice-based book on behavioural social work...’ European Journal of Social Work ’...informative and timely...a rich mixture of theory, research and practice...The text is a thoroughly good buy and should form part of every social work training course.’ Cognitive Behavioural Social Work ReviewTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Research and theory; Direct clinical work with children; Intervention to protect the child; Treating children who fail to thrive; Children with severe learning disabilities; Behavioural work in residential childcare; Working with young offenders; Adult probationers and the STOP programme; Working with carers using the birthday exercise; Learning theory, addiction and counselling; Behavioural work, crisis intervention and the mental health call-out; Intervention in group care for older people; The prevention and management of elder abuse; Epilogue: education for effective practice.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Children: Noble Causes or Worthy Citizens?
Book SynopsisSince the International Year of the Child in 1979, advocacy for children has intensified. The Convention on the Rights of the Child has propelled this advocacy decisively into the midst of the political debate over human rights. Attempts to construct and support the theoretical and empirical underpinnings for a fresh approach to children and childhood are also intensifying. Nonetheless, policies targeted at children continue to suffer from pervasive theoretical weaknesses. This is persistently constraining appropriate action. This book argues that for both theoretical and practical reasons children need to be understood in their own right. It asks fundamental questions about the perceptions we have of children and childhood and about the ways these perceptions emerge to influence and shape our assumptions, preferences and choices concerning children. It tries to deepen understanding and interest by clarifying the theoretical, ethical and pragmatic reasons for transforming the political neglect of children into recognition and action. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines cultural and social variations in perceptions concerning children and the second part draws conclusions from the analysis. It concludes by proposing practical lessons which may be learned from the debate about children.Trade Review’This is a compelling book which unravels and conceptualises the many contradictions in the children’s rights debate...It is a salvo in the ideological battle which will greatly appeal to the converted and provides us with, in Knutssen’s words, tools for a better understanding.’ Social Work Review ’This book is an articulate, engaging and purposeful blend of hard facts and even harder polemic.’ International Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: The Nature and the Location of the Debate: The many environments of the child; Different times, different children; Commonalities and variations in perceptions about children; The nature and the location of the debate; The debate in practice: the case of UNICEF; Learning From the Debate: the Need for Change: Tools for a better understanding; The need to rethink development; Recognizing the citizen child; Bibliography.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Welcoming LGBT Residents
Book SynopsisWelcoming LGBT Residents is the first comprehensive guide to working with LGBT older adults in senior living settings. The LGBT older adult population represents one of the fastest-growing subpopulations within our aging society. Despite the increasing demand for LGBT-affirming services there is an absence of training books for care providers. This dual-purpose text is appropriate for training and as a guide to answer questions that may come up during daily tasks. It is based on the most recent research and includes stories and testimonials from LGBT older adults and providers in the field. Chapters include: LGBT-inclusive intake and conversations; Gender identity and expression; Memory care and LGBT people; Navigating family dynamics; Addressing conflict between residents; Staff opinTrade Review"Tim Johnston's book is a timely, grounded, and most importantly useful guide for how to make our services more open to LGBT seniors. It can serve as a reference text for leadership staff and also an accessible educational tool for students and staff. I would encourage anyone working with older adults, not only those working in senior living, to take a look and see what they can learn." — Paula Basta, Director of the Illinois Department of Aging and Former Chair of the LGBT Aging Issues Network of the American Society on Aging. "For far too long, LGBT older people have encountered bias, stigma, and discrimination across the senior living environment. In response to this profound problem, Tim Johnston has written a comprehensive and accessible resource for the entire eldercare workforce—one that acknowledges that many LGBT older people live at the intersection of multiple identities, and they, as much as anyone, deserve to have a place they can call ‘home.’" — Robert Espinoza, Vice President of Policy, PHI "Combining current research, best practices, and his own experiences training providers across the country, Dr. Johnston has created a road map for providers of services and supports to create safe and affirming environments where LGBTQ older adults can thrive. This comprehensive text is a valuable guide and resource for any provider looking to make their organization a place where older adults, their families and staff can be who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity." — Kevin Bradley, Associate Director of Online Learning, LeadingAge "With an extensive background in advocacy and training, the author has significant experience and working knowledge of the needs of older LGBT adults. The history of LGBT people includes discrimination, criminality, being considered deviant or mentally ill and subjected to inappropriate medical "therapies". This coupled with the dearth of research into the needs of older LGBT adults makes this publication most welcome. Raising awareness of the uniqueness of each person and alerting care providers to the fact that LGBT people are not a homogenous group can only be a positive contributor to the provision of ‘safer and more inclusive spaces." — Patricia MacGabhann BNS (Hons) HDip Gerontology MSc Science MHSc Specialist Nursing (National University of Ireland, Galway) Clinical and Operational Director, Nightingale Nursing Home. "This book presents significant insights into creating inclusive environments for older LGBT people. It will also enable professionals to respond appropriately to challenging situations in residential care homes." — Dr Ralf Lottmann, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Surrey, UK (Research Project: ‘Ageing & Diversity: LGBT* Housing and Long-term Care’).

This workbook should be on the bookshelf of anyone doing this work!" — Lisa Conradi, PsyD, president/founder of Conradi Consulting, LLC, and former director of clinical operations at the Chadwick Center, one of the largest trauma treatment centers in the U.S. "This book features a wealth of information, including many neuro-based strategies to help the helper heal from compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout. A great companion text for workshops geared towards assisting those who work with traumatized populations to reduce inevitable work-related stress and improve their resilience." — Vidette Todaro-Franceschi, PhD, RN, FT, professor of nursing at the CUNY College of Staten Island and the Graduate Center at the City University New York and author of Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Nursing: Enhancing Professional Quality of Life"Compassionate care is the greatest gift that we can give to our community members who are facing a challenge, but it can come at a cost. Dr. Steele has given us a gift with this publication. It dives deeply into evidence-based solutions with excellent exercises and self-check assessment tools that help us understand how best to stay healthy and resilient in this most worthy field of caregiving." — Syd Gravel and Brad McKay, retired Canadian police staff sergeants with distinction; currently senior police advisors with Badge of Life Canada and coauthors of Walk the Talk: First Responder Peer Support—A Boots-on-the-Ground Peer and Trauma Support Systems"This is an engaging journey in self-care for the clinician and caregiver." — Jessica Hackenberg, PsyD, psychotherapy coordinator for the VA’s Northern Indiana Health Care System and assistant adjunct professor at University of Notre Dame"In this work Dr. Steele invites us into a much deeper experience than understanding compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress. He invites us into the practice of healing and walks us through this process every step of the way. Every servant of traumatized people will benefit from the ‘sessions’ in this book and the transformative experience waiting to be had." — Jules Alvarado, MA, LPC, international organizational wellness consultant, founder and senior clinical consultant with Alvarado Consulting and Treatment Group, and a foster parent the past 25 years"This engaging, comprehensive, and cleverly designed workbook is a much-needed addition to the self-care literature. Thoughtful narratives within sessions are accented with a range of useful tools to nurture reflection, self-care, and personal development. This is a helpful resource with which to check in with and look after ourselves and one another." — Sarah Parry, PhD, clinical psychologist and senior clinical lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University in England"Packed full of thoughtful, interactive, and practical advice, this book takes readers on a journey that promotes awareness, sensitivity and practical application of knowledge to combat secondary trauma, burnout and related conditions. This workbook should be within arm’s reach on any trauma professional’s bookshelf." Ginny Sprang, PhD, professor at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and Psychiatry, executive director of the Center on Trauma and Children, and co-chair of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network’s (NCTSN) Secondary Traumatic Stress Committee"With its activities, resources, and opportunities for self-reflection, this workbook is an essential resource and fills a huge gap in the field of trauma.
