Indiana University Press Americas Poor and the Great Recession
Book SynopsisContends that the well- being of low-income Americans is at substantial risk despite economic recoveryTrade ReviewThe Kristin Seefeldt and John Graham primer on the state of America's poor in the wake of the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009 cuts through Beltway theater and provides a clear picture of the magnitude of poverty of the United States as well as the patchwork nature of social services targeting the poor. * Journal of Policy Analysis and Management *All in all, Seefeldt and Graham fulfill their primary goal since they do manage to present a book which can be used as a 'readable [] supplementary text in undergraduate and graduate courses' . . . on poverty and social policy in the U.S. at present. Moreover, precisely because the work offers substantial evidence and thoroughly systematized data about these social phenomena but also provokes questions and debates on these pressing political issues, it may well serve as a guide for future research and may equally prove instrumental in triggering novel responses by both researchers and policy makers. * European Journal of American Studies *Kristen S. Seefeldt and John D. Graham have produced a thorough and enlightening survey of the impact and legacy of the Great Recession on low-income Americans, and the 'safety net' of philanthropic and government programmes on which they rely. . . . [Their] prose remains accessible and readable even whilst negotiating an array of statistics and complex layers of state and federal government programmes. * Journal of American Studies *Table of ContentsForeword by Tavis SmileyIntroduction1.

Wiley-Blackwell Community Psychology Theory Practice
Book SynopsisCommunity Psychology Theory and Practice Jim Orford, University of Exeter, UK Community psychology is a comparatively new area within psychology. Its perspective is that people and their problems can only be understood by considering the social settings and systems of which they are part and with which they interact continuously over time.Trade ReviewFrom a published review '...Orford's book is written in a measured, cautious and scholarly style, does not exaggerate what community psychology has actually achieved so far, yet inspires with its vision of what community psychology could become. I used it as a core text for teaching a final year option on community psychology. The undergraduate group was wildly enthusiastic about the book. Indeed, the only complaint, raised equally energetically by the students, was that they had not been given access to such exciting material until the final year. The book is essential reading.'

University of California Press Injustice Inc. How Americas Justice System
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Hatcher, a professor of law and advocate for social justice, delivers a well-researched, scholarly, disturbing synthesis of social history and legal treatise, tracking the long-term monetization of the justice system. . . . A useful, bleak exposé of a little-understood legal labyrinth constructed to harm the most vulnerable.” * Kirkus Reviews *"Hatcher meticulously reveals a nefarious, unethical operation within juvenile and criminal justice systems. . . . This book will serve as a valuable contribution to many fields and provides an insightful resource for educators, families, and communities." * CHOICE *"Hatcher’s Injustice, Inc. provides an entirely new line of inquiry examining the hidden internal juvenile legal practices that center on capturing money— from federal funds to individuals’ income and assets. This book provides a dizzying eye opening deep dive into the juvenile legal system to highlight the strategies and practices which courts, police, prosecutors, probation offices, and confinement institutions use to generate revenue for state and local jurisdictions and even for personal profit." * Social Forces *“Daniel L. Hatcher, in his book Injustice, Inc., describes in detail a frankly apartheid system finely designed to milk every source of revenue from poor children..

Harvard University Press Stand by Me
Book SynopsisThis book describes the extraordinary potential that exists in youth mentoring relationships, and discloses the ways in which nonparent adults are uniquely positioned to encourage adolescent development. Yet the book also exposes a rarely acknowledged risk: unsuccessful relationships can actually harm at-risk youth.Trade ReviewEveryone who cares for and worries about today's youth--parents, teachers, program operators, policy makers, funders and citizens who want to make a difference--should read this book. It not only provides useful advice about mentoring programs, but reminds us of the essential role that relationships with outsiders play in successful human development. -- Gary Walker, President, Public/Private VenturesStand by Me provides the clearest presentation of mentoring theory and research I have seen. And importantly, it gives practical guidelines for increasing mentoring's impact on youth. I highly recommend this engaging and readable book not only to mentors and mentoring organizations, but also to all adults who work with our nation's youth. -- Peter L. Benson, President, Search InstituteJean Rhodes' Stand by Me is an important, insightful, creatively integrative, and engagingly written book. Rhodes has discussed with great precision the breadth and depth of academic theory and research pertinent to youth mentoring. In addition, she conveys a sophisticated understanding of the forces within the policy making community and among youth-serving professionals that, together, place a great burden on mentoring to provide a solution to the challenges to healthy development confronting America's young people. -- Richard M. Lerner, Tufts UniversityStand by Me is a treasure trove of ideas for adults who want to make a difference in the lives of young people. Jean Rhodes' research and synthesis of the "do's and don'ts" of mentoring will help create the types of meaningful bonds between young people and others that will help them thrive, not simply survive. The book contains useful, important information about when and why mentoring works. She explains the quality of relationships needed to create the types of bonds that matter. -- Karen Hein, M.D., President, William T. Grant FoundationThis extraordinary book is a must read for anyone involved in youth mentoring. Jean Rhodes' wonderfully lucid writing and wise reflections on years of research illuminate how mentoring works---and how it can be improved. -- Judith Vredenburgh, Executive Director and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of AmericaEveryone who cares about expanding the availability of quality mentoring should read this book. It reaffirms that we must continue to seek creative ways to meet the wide array of mentoring needs that exist among this country's wonderful young people. -- Geoffrey T. Boisi, Chairman, National Mentoring PartnershipWith over two million young people now involved in an adult volunteer program and further growth expected, mentoring is an important topic. Here Rhodes...well summarizes the results of her decade-long analysis, as well as other studies...of what exactly makes youth mentoring programs effective...Demonstrating strong research and writing skills, Rhodes also defines mentoring, discusses some of the social and political factors that have heightened interest in mentoring, reviews the risks of these relationships, highlights some of the lessons from behavioral therapy that might be profitably applied to mentoring, and makes recommendations for further research. Highly recommended. -- Dale Farris * Library Journal *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Inventing a Promising Future 2. How Successful Mentoring Works 3. The Risks of Relationship 4.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Social Policy for Social Work
Book SynopsisContemporary social work cannot be understood without an appreciation of the broader context of social policy in which it takes place. Such an understanding is increasingly important as social workers are expected to work across institutional, professional and even national boundaries in new ways profoundly affected by the changing global context.Trade Review"Beautifully written and informed by extensive scholarship, Social Policy for Social Work will be of value to a wide range of audiences. Students will find its accessible style most helpful, and academics will find it a vital reference point for teaching in this area. It is really excellent and I recommend it wholeheartedly."Brid Featherstone, University of Huddersfield "This book will be essential reading for social work students, practitioners and educators. It makes a uniquely thoughtful and analytical contribution to the knowledge base for practice, and offers a comprehensive introduction for social workers to contemporary thinking in social policy. A must read!"Kate Morris, University of Sheffield "Social work is intrinsically impacted and, in part, defined by its context of social values, social theories and social policies. This book brilliantly explores these interactions and also why social work is a profession which should be treasured and championed. I found it informative, illuminating and invigorating. I expect you will too."Ray Jones, professor of social work at Kingston University and St George's, University of London "Lorraine Green and Karen Clarke have produced a book that is well written, and in fact in places is exquisitely written. ... This really is a must book for social work students that are studying social policy." British Journal of Social Work �This is a highly accessible, well-written and challenging book [�. T]he authors have sought to locate social work within a context of social values, the wider social policy agenda and a recognition of the power of political ideologies, impacting at the individual, family, market and the state levels. [�] The book provides an excellent introduction for social work and social policy students whilst reminding social workers of the need to uphold their professional values in negotiating the personal and the political.� Hugh McLaughlin, Journal of Social Policy �The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the challenges facing social work by situating practice within its wider social policy context. It is carefully argued, well-referenced and [�] makes a positive contribution to the literature. Its recognition of problems outside the Global North strengthens its global appeal.

Cornell University Press The Politics of Nonstate Social Welfare
Book SynopsisAcross the world, welfare states are under challengeor were never developed extensively in the first placewhile non-state actors increasingly provide public goods and basic welfare. In many parts of the Middle East and South Asia, sectarian organizations and political parties supply basic services to ordinary people more extensively and effectively than governments. In sub-Saharan Africa, families struggle to pay hospital fees, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) launch welfare programs as states cut subsidies and social programs. Likewise, in parts of Latin America, international and domestic NGOs and, increasingly, private firms are key suppliers of social welfare in both urban and rural communities. Even in the United States, where the welfare state is far more developed, secular NGOs and faith-based organizations are critical components of social safety nets. Despite official entitlements to public welfare, citizens in Russia face increasing out-of-pocket expenses as they aTrade Review"The Politics of Non-state Social Welfare begins to fill a major gap in the welfare literature. Almost all of the previous literature on welfare provision in developing countries has focused on relations between citizens and the state. This book offers the first comprehensive examination of how citizens and states are affected by the growth of NGOs, sectarian organizations, informal brokers, and other types of non-state actors. The authors of the case study chapters offer in-depth accounts of such providers, drawing on extensive fieldwork. In introductory and concluding chapters, Melani Cammett and Lauren M.

It quickly outlines each field�s philosophical origins, educational requirements, and opportunities for licensure, typical work settings, and average salaries by people in the field.It is too narrow for a careers course, but since it solely focuses on the mental health professions that require graduate school and culminate in licensure or certification, it could be a good supplementary text for either that course or an Introduction to Counseling course. Careers in Mental Health could also be a good resource for faculty advising students about graduate school but confused by the variety of apparently similar professions out there�clinical, counseling, and school psychology; guidance counseling; social work; and licensed professional counseling. I am a clinical psychologist, have worked in the field for 25 years, and have advised students about these fields for most of that time, yet as a result of reading this book, I better understand issues I�ve talked about and taught for years. For example, why do these similar fields go by different names? Metz argues that this is at least in part because these are homologous fields, appearing similar but having different philosophical roots... Much of the information in Careers in Mental Health is available on the Internet, but Metz provides it in a simple and available manner that allows students�and faculty�to compare apples with apples. She filters the information about fields in a straightforward manner that makes their comparisons easy."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Enabling Independence
Book SynopsisThis book is designed as a companion text for the variety of support workers in the field of rehabilitation. It recognises the diversity of roles and array of training and education options; formal routes such as S/NVQ and schemes which are tailored to an individual workplace. Therefore the focus of the book is simply to provide an accessible introduction to rehabilitating the patient, no matter what discipline or service leads this activity. Enabling Independence provides practical information by reflecting different approaches to assisting with rehabilitation. The first section introduces the framework for the book and considers the philosophy of enablement. The second section is dedicated to enhancing function' and details the most common activities of daily living, such as mobility and dressing. This is followed by a problem oriented approach' in the third section, which addresses typical problems which support workers are likely to encounter, such as patients who fTrade Review[This book provides] much needed guidance and examples of good practice for the UK and other interested parties abroad. Many workers (especially in parts of the UK) want to study NVQs and cannot get access to them, so this book will also help them… I like the ‘typical day’ approach as this gives examples and can answer frequently asked questions. It is also easy for the reader to follow. This book appears to get right into the subject from the workplace level and give a variety of styles, i.e. case studies, problem solving, diagrams… I believe this work is extremely important. There is nothing like it out there and there is a real need for it.

Temple University Press,U.S. Selling Transracial Adoption
Book SynopsisWhile focused on serving children and families, the adoption industry must also generate sufficient revenue to cover an agency's operating costs. With its fee-for-service model, Elizabeth Raleigh asks, How does private adoption operate as a marketplace? Her eye-opening book, Selling Transracial Adoption, provides a fine-grained analysis of the business decisions in the adoption industry and what it teaches us about notions of kinship and race.Adoption providers, Raleigh declares, are often tasked with pitching the idea of transracial adoption to their mostly white clientele. But not all children are equally desirable, and transracial adoptiona market calculationis hardly colorblind. Selling Transracial Adoption explicitly focuses on adoption providers andemploys candid interviews with adoption workers, social workers, attorneys, and counselors, as well as observations from adoption conferences and information sessions, toillustrate how agencies institute a racial hierarchyespecially whTrade Review"Elizabeth Raleigh boldly dares to address adoption’s proverbial elephant in the room in her powerful and enlightening book, Selling Transracial Adoption.... The organization of the material, the explicit detailing of the objectives, and the rich content make a compelling case for her arguments in each chapter and the book overall.... In a sea of books on transracial adoption from psychological, counseling, and social work perspectives, this sociological contribution is much needed and appreciated."--Contemporary Sociology

University of Toronto Press Becoming Strong
Book SynopsisDrawing on more than 150 in-depth interviews, Becoming Strong: Impoverished Women and the Struggle to Overcome Violence explores the diverse effects of trauma in the lives of homeless female victims of violence. Laura Huey and Ryan Broll closely examine the negative patterns common to cases of homeless female victims of violence and develop informed solutions for responding to issues that perpetuate cycles of female homelessness. Becoming Strong offers not only a comprehensive examination of trauma and the role it can play in shaping homeless women’s lives, but it also explores how women may recover and develop strategies for coping with traumatic experiences.Trade Review"The authors analyzed interviews conducted with nearly two hundred homeless women in U.S. cities, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Detroit. Most of the women who suffered a wide range of traumas exhibited signs of resiliency. Where women remain in negative patterns, they may be solutions, rather than perpetuating female homelessness." -- Anne Burke * Feminist Caucus, July 2018 *"As the book title suggests, the message of the book is that marginalized and victimized women can become strong, often already are (but not realized to be) strong, and there are ways that society and other individuals can assist women on the journey to becoming strong." -- Richard Tewksbury, Arizona State University * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, online *Table of Contents1.
