Mandated Reporting In Education: Getting Through The Gray, Tara M. Dahlager
Mandated Reporting In Education: Getting Through The Gray, Tara M. Dahlager
Theses and Graduate Projects
Educators play a critical role in the mandated reporting of child abuse for the school is one of the few institutions where we can find almost every child for a good portion of their lives. If educators are expected to be effective mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect, it would make sense that they should receive intense training on the subject. A review of the literature indicates that this is not happening. The purpose of this research was to identify whether educators in a midsize school district are qualified to make decisions regarding the mandated reporting of child maltreatment. …
Factors Influencing Attitudes Of Social Workers Toward Spirituality In Practice, Dena M. Wheeler
Factors Influencing Attitudes Of Social Workers Toward Spirituality In Practice, Dena M. Wheeler
Theses and Graduate Projects
Recently, there has been growing interest in the role of spirituality in social work practice. Many practitioners support the inclusion of spirituality in social work practice, but there is a lack of understanding of how this can be accomplished. This exploratory qualitative study was undertaken to expand the understanding of social worker attitudes toward spirituality in practice. Five hospital social workers were interviewed using a structured interview schedule. The interviews focused on practitioners' definitions of spirituality, the factors that had influenced their definition, and the factors that influence how they respond to spirituality in practice. Themes of childhood experiences, academic …

An Historical Perspective Of Mental Health And Criminal Justice Policies: Current Policies In An Urban County For Offenders With Mental Illness, Carol Cochran
Theses and Graduate Projects
This descriptive study investigates whether offenders with mental illness are diverted from the criminal justice system to the mental health system in an urban county. Interviews were conducted with key decision makers to determine policy and procedures. Admissions to the county medical center psychiatric unit were correlated with arrests and in-custody county jail data for years 1985-87 and 1995-97.
Interviews reveal offenders with mental illness are detained in jail while awaiting mental health screening and court dispositions. If competent, offenders with mental illness can be sentenced to a corrections facility to serve their sentences with the general population. If incompetent …

An Exploratory Study Of Minneapolis Truant Adolescents And School And County Interventions, Lois E. Lewis
Theses and Graduate Projects
Truancy is one of the most alarming social problems schools and educators face daily. Because of the complex conditions that contribute to truancy, the etiology and development of the problem are unclear. In this study, fifty subjects ages 12-14 were described by using two measures. An intake form was used to abstract information, at the county level, on the variables gender, age, race, grade, education, number of people in the home, living situation, chemical use, mental health, prior court involvement, and other factors pertinent to this study for the 1997-98 school year. The second measure was used, at the school …
Only God Decides': Young Children's Perceptions Of Divorce And The Legal System, Kyle D. Pruett, Marsha Kline Pruett
Only God Decides': Young Children's Perceptions Of Divorce And The Legal System, Kyle D. Pruett, Marsha Kline Pruett
School for Social Work: Faculty Publications
Objective: To describe research on perceptions of children aged 6 and younger from 21 families of their parents' divorce, of its impact on their families, and of legal officials. Method: Semistructured play interviews were conducted during home visits as parents were conjointly interviewed as part of a larger study on divorce in legal context. Results: Children had much misinformation about divorce as an event and process. What they did know was often inappropriate, frightening, and confusing. They resented how the process 'ruined their parents' being friends any more' and proposed reforms based on their wishes and observations. Conclusions: Greater awareness …
An Empowering Approach To Crisis Intervention And Brief Treatment With Preschool Children, Katherine Tyson Mccrea
An Empowering Approach To Crisis Intervention And Brief Treatment With Preschool Children, Katherine Tyson Mccrea
Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works
This paper presents an approach to crisis intervention and brief treatment for young children based on the new psychology, intrapsychic humanism. After presenting central theoretical principles, these principles are applied and treatment guidelines demonstrated in the treatment process of a three-year-old child named Paul. The research design for the case study is naturalistic, uses qualitative methods of data analysis, and draws from the heuristic paradigm (a postpositivist metatheory of social and behavioral research).

Finding A Fit Between Work And Family Life: Support For Working Caregivers, Eileen M. Brennan, Julie M. Rosenzweig, Alice Myrth Ogilvie
Finding A Fit Between Work And Family Life: Support For Working Caregivers, Eileen M. Brennan, Julie M. Rosenzweig, Alice Myrth Ogilvie
School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Presentations
This article examines the ways in which families with employed caregivers and children with emotional and behavioral disorders manage to meet the demands of employment and family responsibilities. Finding a fit between the demands of work and family life is a struggle for every employed mother and father. For parents whose children have emotional, behavioral, or mental disorders, meeting this challenge can prove extremely stressful, particularly since supportive services are notably lacking. There has been little research on the perceptions of employed parents of children with mental health concerns about the ways in which work and family responsibilities can fit …
Restaging The Welfare Diva: Case Studies Of Single Motherhood And Social Policy, Iara Lessa
Restaging The Welfare Diva: Case Studies Of Single Motherhood And Social Policy, Iara Lessa
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The single mother has been an enduring and representative character in the development of social welfare. Casted as the embodiment of the various crises of the family which Western democratic nations have experienced throughout the twentieth century, she is the representative of what is outside the foundation of a desirable life: an economically dependent family unit without a male head. Nevertheless, the single mother is also an actual woman raising children alone struggling for survival under very adverse circumstances. In its materiality, it is this body, not the allegorical character, who is the subject of studies and interventions concerned with …
Rehabilitation For Deafened Adults: A Puzzle With Missing Pieces, Miguel Oswald Aguayo
Rehabilitation For Deafened Adults: A Puzzle With Missing Pieces, Miguel Oswald Aguayo
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This study explored the psychological and social impact of adventitious deafness, and the rehabilitation services that were offered to individuals who acquired this condition in adulthood. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of eight deafened adults, who were recruited from across Ontario. The results show that medical interventions (e. g., audiometric testing, hearing aid provision, and cochlear implantation) were relied on exclusively as a rehabilitation approach in providing care to deafened people. None of the study participants were offered individual, family, or group counselling by their hearing health service providers. This lack of attention to the socio-emotional needs of …

The Construction Of Homelessness As A Social Problem: Linking Contributing Factors, Mediating Factors And Interventive Strategies, Heather Elizabeth Jeffery
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
There are many interacting factors that influence our response to social problems and needs in our communities. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the discursive literature about the nature of homelessness and to understand how it is that individuals develop their own personal theories about contributing factors and interventive strategies. The thesis uses grounded theory methods to explain the attitudes of the members of five focus groups that were comprised of homeless individuals, service providers, and community members. Focus group participants provided their ideas about both the contributing factors that lead to homelessness and possible interventive strategies …
