Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Erziehungs- und Bildungspartnerschaften:
Book Synopsis'Erziehungs- und Bildungspartnerschaften' im Spannungsfeld von Schule, Jugendhilfe und Familie sind derzeit nicht optimal gelöst. Vielmehr befindet sich das Thema auf einem eher dürftigen Entwicklungsstand - vor allem im internationalen Vergleich. Trotz vorhandener Praxis und teilweise langer Traditionen im Bereich der Elternarbeit mangelt es in Deutschland an modernen Konzepten zur Kooperation mit Eltern in der Bildungs- und Erziehungsarbeit. Dieses Buch gibt einen ersten, umfassenden Einblick in Konzepte, Handlungsfelder und zeigt Wege in eine gelingende Praxis.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Tierische Sozialarbeit: Ein Lesebuch für die
Book SynopsisTiergestützte Praxisansätze stoßen in der Sozialen Arbeit und Pädagogik auf großes Interesse. Tiere werden zur Herstellung eines therapeutischen Milieus und in diagnostischen und heilenden Prozessen eingesetzt. Oftmals erscheinen sie als die besseren Helfer. Wenig entwickelt ist eine kritisch-wissenschaftliche Distanz und das Wissen zu den vielschichtigen, auch problematischen Facetten der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung. Das interdisziplinär angelegte Buch mit Texten aus der Sozialen Arbeit, Sozialgeschichte, Kulturanthropologie, Soziologie, Psychologie und Heilpädagogik liefert einen wichtigen Beitrag, um die Mensch-Tier-Beziehung als paradoxes lebensweltliches Alltagsphänomen und pädagogisches Feld für Disziplin und Profession der Sozialen Arbeit und Pädagogik in den fachlich-reflexiven Fokus zu rücken.Trade Review"[...] aufgrund der transdisziplinären Perspektiven informativ und bisweilen auch sehr unterhaltsam."

Book SynopsisKatharina Gosse untersucht in ihrer ethnographischen Studie erstmals Veränderungsdynamiken in der offenen Kinder‐ und Jugendarbeit im Zusammenhang mit dem Ganztagsschulausbau. Ausgehend davon, dass die Praktiken durch die institutionellen Ordnungen beeinflusst sind, in denen sie sich ereignen, analysiert die Autorin Strukturlogiken von Erziehungspraktiken und bindet sie anhand eines ideologiekritischen Diskursverständnisses an Wissensformen zurück, welche durch die Professionellen (re‐)produziert werden. Sie zeigt, dass ambivalentes Wissen vorliegt, das sich sowohl an der emanzipatorischen Tradition der offenen Kinder‐ und Jugendarbeit und dem Alltagswissen zum Handeln Lehrender orientiert als auch an Wissensbeständen, die die Erziehungspraktiken als Betreuungspraktiken herstellen.Table of ContentsDie offene Kinder- und Jugendarbeit und die Ganztagsschule - der Kampf um den Nachmittag.- Institutionelle Ethnographie, ethnographischer Prozess und das Forschungsfeld.- Die Ergebnisse zu Freizeit, Mittagessen, Hausaufgabenbetreuung.- Das ambivalente Wissen der offenen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Genussmittel und Soziale Arbeit: Eine Einführung
Book SynopsisDas Lehrbuch bietet einen Einstieg in Fragen rund um drei für Soziale Arbeit bedeutende Genussmittel: Kaffee, Tabak und Zucker. Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit sind wiederkehrend in ganz verschiedenen Perspektiven mit ihrem Konsum befasst. Neben gesundheitsbezogenen Fragen aufgrund der gesellschaftlichen Ächtung von (zu viel) Zucker und Tabak lassen sich an ihnen bedeutende sozialpädagogische Fragen aufmachen, die jenseits gesundheitsbezogener, z. B. Fragen der Gastlichkeit, der Gestaltung professionell angenehmer Atmosphären, der Verteilung sowie des offenen Zugangs betreffen. In nahezu jedem sozialpädagogischen Setting werden täglich Verzehrsituationen bzw. Mahlzeiten geplant, angeboten und durchgeführt. Für die Soziale Arbeit über die Bereitstellung ausreichender und ausgewogener Ernährung hinaus verantwortlich ist für die Bereitstellung von Genussmitteln und deren Konsum vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlich relevanter eingelebter Kulturen und Traditionen.

Oxford University Press Inc AntiOppressive Social Work Practice and the
Book SynopsisWith violent policing, inhumane detention and imprisonment, community surveillance and loss of civil rights, the criminal legal system is unjust; and it is crucial for social workers to understand and take steps toward change. Under the guise of helping adults in multiple correctional contexts, social workers have historically engaged in efforts that privilege the carceral system and reproduce its harmful apparatus that extends to families and communities. Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice and the Carceral State plots a path to change by using an anti-oppressive and transformative approach. Patricia O''Brien and Judith S. Willison critically examine strategies to shift punishment-centered practices to build collaborative partnerships and possibilities toward decarceration and individual and community power.Trade ReviewAnti-oppressive Social Work Practice and the Carceral State is a contribution that fills a significant gap. Increasingly there are calls for anti-oppressive social work, particularly related to carceral systems, and this book provides language and context. O'Brien and Willison have created a text for those who are new to the topic to begin to understand the important issues, and for someone who is familiar, to expand their knowledge. Anyone interested in anti-oppression should add this resource to their library. * Henrika McCoy, PhD, Associate Professor, Jane Addams College of Social Work, University of Illinois at Chicago *It's not easy to find space for anti-oppressive frameworks in a place that is created for and animated by oppression. And yet this space is in deep need of both humanity, for those who are currently locked in, and disassembled. O'Brien and Willison attend to both sides of this spectrum with wisdom, strategies for anti-oppressive social work practice, and some of the most important ethical considerations for this period in social work. The books attention to practice and ethics makes it invaluable to students and practitioners. * Elizabeth L. Beck, PhD, Professor, School of Social Work at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies. Georgia State University *The social work profession is at a critical point where we must question our role in maintaining the carceral state and the conflicts this creates with our professed values. Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice and the Carceral State raises the important questions we must consider and provides some paths forward. If the profession does not address the questions raised in this important text, it risks moving towards irrelevancy. * Alan Dettlaff, Dean and Maconda Brown O'Connor Endowed Dean's Chair, University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work *Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice and the Carceral State delivers fully and dynamically on its stated promises. Patricia O'Brien and Judith Willison offer a creative and timely book that greatly expands the reader's grasp of the U.S. carceral state as a whole and as a set of parts. The contours and mechanisms of Its operations and unjust aspects are clearly illuminated through illustrations from the reports of people caught up in the bowels of the carceral state and from the reflections of experienced social work practitioners. * Barbara Levy Simon, PhD, Professor Emerita and Special Lecturer, Colombia School of Social Work *Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice and the Carceral State stands out as a timely and practical book. * Ran Hu, Affilia: Feminist Inquiry in Social Work *Table of ContentsPART 1: FOUNDATIONS FOR ANTI-OPPRESSIVE SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE IN THE CARCERAL STATE CHAPTER 1: How We Got Here and Where We Want to Go How We Got Here: Carceral State Summary Where We Want to Go: Social Work in the Carceral State Overview of the Criminal Legal System A Brief History Functions and Components of the Criminal Legal System Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice (AOP) Book Structure and Chapters Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References CHAPTER 2: The Sociopolitical Context of Social Work Practice and the Carceral State Anti-Oppressive Social Work: Why Sociopolitical Context Matters Understanding the Sociopolitical Evolution and Expansion of the Carceral State Defining the Carceral State Evolution and Expansion of the Carceral State Introduction to Institutional Mechanisms of the Carceral State Transforming the Carceral System: Implications of a Sociopolitical Analysis for Anti-Oppressive Social Work Conclusion Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References CHAPTER 3: An Anti-Oppressive Framework for Social Work Practice in the Carceral State Empowerment and Strengths Perspectives Anti-Oppressive Practice in the Carceral State Engagement Phase Teaching and Learning Assessment Phase Action and Accompaniment Intervention Phase Evaluation Phase Evidence-Informed Practice in the Criminal Legal System Trauma-Informed Care Public Health Approach Conclusion Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References CHAPTER 4: The Criminalization of People with Mental Illness The Evolution of the Criminalization of Mental Illness Mechanisms of the Criminalization of Mental IllnessAnti-Oppressive Social Work and Public Health Interventions Conclusion Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References PART 2: ANTI-OPPRESSIVE SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE IN CARCERAL SETTINGS CHAPTER 5: An Anti-Oppressive Social Work Approach to Public Safety and Judicial Responses Anti-Oppressive Social Work and Policing he Changed Nature of Contemporary Police Forces Policing and Community-Based Behavioral Crises An Anti-Oppressive Analysis of Police-Social Work Collaborations A Community-Based Approach to Public Safety Anti-Oppressive Social Work and Problem-Solving Courts Drug Courts Mental Health Courts (MHCs) An Anti-Oppressive Analysis of Problem-Solving Courts Community-Based Restorative Responses Conclusion Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References CHAPTER 6: Transparency and Transformation in Carceral Detention Healthcare During Detention Suicide in Jail Immigrant Detention Anti-Oppressive Social Work in Jails and Detention Centers Conclusion Expanding Our Vision References CHAPTER 7: Challenges and Possibilities of Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice in Prison with Men The Mass Incarceration of Man The Build-up of Incarcerated Men: A History of Gendered Racism Mechanisms of Men's Criminalization Men's Convictions Violent Crime Men Sentenced to the Death Penalty for Capital Offenses Life Sentences Prison Conditions Solitary Confinement and Supermax Prisons Prison Suicide and Self-Injurious Behavior Health Conditions Practice Interventions with Men in Prison Conclusion Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References CHAPTER 8: Challenges and Possibilities of Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice in Prison with Women Prison as a Gendered Organization The Buildup of Women's Incarceration: Reform The Buildup of Women's Incarceration: Punishment Characteristics of Women in Prison Women's Convictions Drug Crimes Sexual Crimes Women Sentenced to the Death Penalty for Capital Crimes Pathways to Criminalization Prison Conditions Solitary Confinement Pregnancy/Birth/Loss Sexual Assault in Prison Health Conditions Social Work Practice with Women in Prison Promising Interventions From Prison to the Community: Advocacy and Concluding Thoughts Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References PART 3: LEVELS OF INTERVENTION CHAPTER 9: How Families Resist the Carceral State and MoveToward Healing Parental Incarceration Caregiving Compounded Pain: The Child Welfare System Visitation During Incarceration Community Rebuilding Conclusion Expanding Our Vision Online Resources References

Oxford University Press Inc Youth and Their Families
Book SynopsisThough a number of books covering adolescent substance abuse are available, there are very few resources that explore the topic in the context of Family Systems Therapy (FST). Youth and Their Families offers an expanded view of the therapeutic process with a specific focus on the relationship between therapists, adolescents, families, communities, and substance use. By applying an FST lens, the clinician learns to view their client as an entire family system being affected by adolescent substance abuse. Furthermore, FST can be used at every stage of the substance abuse intervention continuum (from prevention to intervention) to provide increased functioning and strength in the family system. This book incorporates easily applicable clinical skill acquisition with the use of lively cases to give the reader requisite skills to be an effective family systems therapist.Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1: Defining Systems Theory Chapter 2: Defining Family Chapter 3: Defining Family Systems Therapy Chapter 4: Defining Substance Abuse in Adolescence Chapter 5: Evidenced-Based Treatment and Family Systems Therapy: Complementary Practices Chapter 6: Prevention Chapter 7: Outpatient, Community-Based Treatment Interventions Chapter 8: Inpatient/Residential (Non-Hospital) Chapter 9: Marijuana Legalization and its Effect on Substance Abuse Programs in the U.S. Chapter 10: The Opioid Epidemic Chapter 11: Conclusions and Self-Care Appendix Index

Oxford University Press Inc Strategic Leadership and Management in Nonprofit
Book SynopsisNonprofit organizations need smart, informed managers. This comprehensive introductory textbook aims to expose students to the range of responsibilities expected from modern nonprofit organizations and their boards, executive management, frontline staff, and community volunteers. Section 1 focuses on the characteristics of a nonprofit organization, with an explanation of the specific attributes of both charitable and member-serving nonprofits. It considers the historical development of the nonprofit sector as a whole and of the human services subsector in particular, culminating with a review of the political and economic climate in which nonprofits operate. Section 2 considers theories of leadership. The multiple roles of the nonprofit professional leader are delineated, to recognize that the same person may serve as manager and administrator, motivated by different priorities when functioning in each capacity. Ethical issues are also considered, along with the theoretical and practicTrade ReviewIntended as a textbook for students and a resource for young nonprofit professionals, this book brings together classic management and organizational change theories and practical discussions about the nonprofit sector. Though the work mostly reads like an academic literature review, the last half of many chapters provides links to the theories, planning steps, nonprofit management, nonprofit-related definitions, and exhibits (e.g., a sample job description, budget report, performance appraisal form). Recommended. * Choice *Strategic Leadership and Management in Nonprofit Organizations includes the classic content on nonprofit management, while at the same time weaving through the most current research and innovative thinking in the subfields of nonprofit management across the different chapters. ...The authors provide a practical overview of the nonprofit sector and the challenges of leading a nonprofit organization in turbulent times. The sections that follow provide the most thorough coverage of essential topics on leading a nonprofit organization of any book on nonprofit management I know...The content of each section is illustrated with real-world examples from the authors practice experience, making this book a fun and engaging read. * Kristina Jaskyte, School of Social Work and Institute for Nonprofit Organizations University of Georgia *Strategic Leadership and Management in Nonprofit Organizations", in its second edition maintains the excellence of the first edition, but adds further depth into our understanding of management and leadership. A must-have book for aspiring leaders in the sector and a first-rate textbook for nonprofit management courses. It details process integral to nonprofits form from strategic management to resource generation and human resource management paid and unpaid. I am hard-pressed to think of another book that covers the breadth and depth of nonprofit management using research and case studies to help students understand and master how to lead and manage nonprofits. * Femida Handy, Director, Ph.D. program School of Social Policy & Practice University of Pennsylvania *This new edition of Martha Golensky's book, with useful additions and updates by Mark Hager, is very accessible to students new to nonprofit organization administration. It also covers key subjects with enough detail to be useful to practicing administrators and to stimulate and freshen their thinking about their important work. * Tom Packard, DSW, Professor EmeritusSchool of Social WorkSan Diego State University *Martha Golensky and Mark Hegar's new edition of this classic is most welcome.

Oxford University Press Inc Counseling Persons with Parkinsons Disease
Book SynopsisWhat is it like to live with a chronic illness? How can counselors support those living with one? Allan Hugh Cole Jr. offers answers to these two questions and so many more in Counseling Persons with Parkinson''s Disease. In ten succinct chapters, Cole offers a glimpse into life with Parkinson''s and presents an insightful approach to counseling someone living with a chronic illness. Cole was diagnosed with Parkinson''s Disease in 2016, and--though it hardly happened overnight--he has since discovered a new passion and drive for life. A teacher of social workers and counselors for many years, Cole has unique insight into chronic illness and the care required to help someone diagnosed with one. He delves into the importance of accepting a chronic illness and how this can create an opportunity for personal transformation, newfound meaning, and rejuvenated purpose. In addition to emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, he also offers evidence-based approaches to counseling. Cole''s approaches to counseling draw on task-centered social work practice. Throughout the book, he engages with five purposeful actions tied to principles of constructivism, Aristotelian thought, American pragmatism, and theories of interpretation (hermeneutics). At once informative, realistic, humorous, and hopeful, this is a thoughtful guide for clinicians who give counsel, educators who teach counseling, people supporting someone else, and anyone living with a chronic illness.Trade ReviewThis book provides a thoughtful balance between personal narrative and clinical guidance on how to help someone through the losses associated with Parkinson's disease. * T. A. Babb, CHOICE *This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Parkinson's disease (PD) and is a detailed manual for Loss-Based Counseling (LBC) for working with persons with Parkinson's disease (PwP). [It] also includes powerful, inspiring, and extremely informative first-person accounts of Dr. Cole's personal journey following his diagnosis of young-onset (i.e., <50 years of age) PD in late 2016. The book alternates between chapters that provide these personal accounts and chapters that provide the foundations and details of LBC. Dr. Cole's unique, dual perspectives as a social work educator and as a PwP make this book exceptionally well-suited for preparing social work professionals to assist people with PD or other chronic and progressive illness as they cope with a series of life-altering losses. * Namkee G. Choi, Steve Hicks School of Social Work University of Texas at Austin, Journal of Gerontological Social Work *In this unique and enlightening book, Professor Allan Cole tells his story of life with young-onset Parkinson's disease while guiding counselors on how best to understand, support, and empower persons living with this illness. His adept knowledge of both Parkinson's and counseling approaches, paired with his honesty, vulnerability, strength, and hope, models work in the health humanities at its best. I highly recommend this book to physicians, counselors, persons living with Parkinson's, and to those who offer them support and care. * Bastiaan R. Bloem, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Director, Department of Neurology at Radbound University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands *Inspired by decades of existential searching and emotional learning, Allan Cole turns inward as he reflects on the meaning of a new diagnosis for him, Parkinson's disease, and what it might mean for others as well. This book is as personal as it is informative. More than a pathography, readers will learn the latest information on this disease as well as effective strategies for counseling people with it. It is insightful, heart-breaking, authentic, and hopeful. * Nathan Carlin, Ph.D, Samuel Karff Chair and Professor at McGovern Medical School in Houston, Texas *Dr. Allan Cole has written a poignant first-person account of living with Parkinson's full of intimacy and insight. His personal story and professional wisdom as a social worker combine to offer the reader an unprecedented guide through the life of a person with Parkinson's (PwP). This book should be essential reading for all counselors and caregivers wishing to support PwP. The personal narrative is inspirational and pulls you directly into the lived experience of a young man facing a new diagnosis and trying to create meaning for himself and his family. Cole then introduces us to a new short-term counseling approach, which is both evidence-based and deeply personal. This book is hard to put down, beautifully written and full of vulnerability, humor, and wisdom. I will be recommending this book to all of my staff and students. * Barbara L. Jones, PhD, MSW, FNAP, Chair, Department of Health Social Work, Dell Medical School, The University of Texas at Austin *A distinct, practical, and philosophically sound approach to counseling those with Parkinson's disease. As a seasoned teacher of counselors who also lives with Parkinson's, Allan Cole knows firsthand of what he writes. Equal parts memoir and professional resource, his authenticity is refreshing; his insights, profound; his writing, elegant. An important book for clinicians who provide counsel and for educators who teach counseling. * Harold G. Koenig, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine *Parkinson's disease is the fastest growing neurological illness in the world. This thoughtfully written, must-read book effectively provides a framework for those that may be in a position to counsel people impacted by living with Parkinson's or any chronic, progressive illness. Allan Cole is able to personalize the theory being taught in a way that is extremely engaging, touching, and relevant. By sharing his personal experiences in such an honest, candid way, he gives all of us insights into the lived experience and emotional toll this disease takes, as well as the perseverance and the hope we need for the future. * Soania Mathur, M.D., Co-Chair, Patient Council, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research *Counseling Persons with Parkinson's Disease is a book that is a necessary addition to one's professional library. It is also a volume that patients can read, reflect upon, underline, and go back to when they feel a bit disoriented by what they are going through. As I relaxed with, and reflected upon, its content and spirit I thought to myself: This is what sound psychosocial information should be all about—simple, heart-felt, informative, and prepared in order to make life better for those in pain. * Robert J.

This textbook provides students with case examples, questions, and exercises to help them apply what they are learning in a range of practice situations (including individual counseling, group work, family practice, community organization, advocacy, antiracistpractice, research, or other areas of generalist social work practice). Students will learn not only how to integrate the principles of honesty, integrity, social justice, respect, access to service, human relationships, and professional competence in their everyday practice, but also how to collaborate withclients, supervisors, and other stakeholders when ethical conflicts arise and challenging decisions need to be made.Trade ReviewThe text is straight-forward, simple to read and understand, and incorporates social work code of ethics. Each chapter has discussion questions and exercises. Overall, I think this text is groundbreaking in that it incorporates legal explanations to key social work ethical issues. * Consoler Teboh, Saint Cloud State University *This is easy to read, relevant to current issues, and the author provides not only information but is consistent with use of examples, and providing communicative and client-centered intervention skills, helping to reinforce the concepts. I appreciate the creative approach to making this applicable to general practice. * Theresa Maher, Roberts Wesleyan College *Dr. Barsky provides a very clear and understandable writing style. I especially appreciate his use of case studies that are then used to explain application of the concepts presented. This is done in a way that invites the reader to consider the concept and how it applies to 'real life' situations. I personally feel this is very important as ethics can be very personal * and this format invites the reader the opportunity to explore the differences between personal and professional values. Dr. Barsky does an excellent job of providing other views so that the material does not appear biased, if anything it allows the reader to understand the complexities and 'grey areas' of ethics.Carolyn D.
