Norman N. Goroff - In Memoriam, Shimon S. Gottschalk

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Norman was a radical humanist - not a secular humanist, but a spiritual one. His definition of self was inextricably intertwined with his affirmation of life and of all humanity. He loved all of us, and in turn, he taught us all how to better love each other.

Advocacy/Empowerment: An Approach To Clinical Practice For Social Work, Stephen M. Rose

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Social Work has been embedded in a structural and ideological contradiction throughout its history. The profession, its employing institutions, and the problems confronted by its clients are all produced by the same political economy that pays its workers and supports its schools. Ideologically, the profession has avoided the confrontation implied by its dependency upon individual defect explanatory or causal analysis frameworks that constitute a betrayal of its real constituencies. An advocacy! empowerment paradigm is offered as an alternative.

Empowerment Through Advocacy And Consciousness-Raising: Implications Of A Structural Approach To Social Work, Maurice J. Moreau

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Empowerment of oppressed clients requires of social workers to act as advocates and to assist clients in changing the dynamics which contribute to self-oppression or the oppression of others. The paper explores a five-stage process wherein oppressed individuals contribute to the social order that devalues them and, in the process, also participate in the oppression of others. The practice implications of a structural approach to social work committed to client empowerment in each of these stages are described.

Detecting And Reporting Child Abuse: A Function Of The Human Service Delivery System, George E. Fryer Jr.

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper reports the results of a regression analysis performed on 48, 499 reports of known or suspected child abuse submitted from 1974 through 1983 to the Colorado Department of Social Services Central Child Abuse Registry. Enrollments in human service programs, combined with events which precipitate enrollee use of services, and the presence of human service professionals and institutions are strongly related to the number of abuse cases reported.

The Generalized Basis Reduction Algorithm, Herbert E. Scarf, László Lovász

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Let F ( x ) be a convex function defined in R n , which is symmetric about the origin and homogeneous of degree 1, and let L be the lattice of integers Z n . A definition of a reduced basis, b 1 , …, b n , of the lattice with respect to the distance function F is presented, and we describe an algorithm which yields a reduced basis in polynomial time, for fixed n. In the special case in which the bodies { x : F ( x ) < t } are ellipsoids, the definition of a reduced basis is identical with that given by Lenstra, Lenstra and Lovasz (1982) and the algorithm is the well known basis reduction algorithm. We show that the basis vector b 1 , in a reduced basis, is an approximation to a shortest non-zero lattice point with respect to F and relate the basis vectors b i to Minkowski’s successive minima. The results lead to an algorithm for integer programming which executes in polynomial time for fixed n, but which avoids the ellipsoidal approximation required by Lenstra’s algorithm. We also discuss the properties of a Korkine-Zolotarev basis for the lattice.
