In this update of the 1999 edition, Kilpatrick and Holland (both of the U. of Georgia) and several contributors survey the diversity of family dynamics and practitioner models to meet those needs focusing on strengths rather than pathology. Includes expanded coverage of ethics and spirituality, discussion questions, the National Association of Social Workers' Code of Ethics, ethics cases and commentaries, and a glossary. Annotation c.

Working with Families presents an innovative model for choosing specific intervention methods that meet the discriminate level of need of a particular family. This is one of the few texts that addresses work with families from a social worker's perspective. It assesses families by their level of need, from the most basic level (needs for food, clothing, and shelter) to more advanced levels (needs for intimacy and self-actualization), and provides students with models for assessment and interventions at each level. While other family practice texts present many different models of family work and many fields of practice, often focused on middle-class, private practice clients (leaving students feeling undecided about which model to use and when), this text provides an integrative model with guidelines for when and how to use different practice methods. Several new authors have contributed to the Fouth Edition. A new section on “Ethical Challenges” is included for each method of practice chapter to help students give special thought to this important area of practice. And each practice method chapter now includes Internet Resources to assist students and faculty in accessing new and relevant material. An Instructor’s Manual is available to supplement this edition as an aid to instructors and to the learning experience of students. The Companion Website includes seven ethics case studies and experts’ responses to them. Students are encouraged to formulate their own responses and compare them to those of the experts. A Professional Codes of Ethics is also featured. NEW VideoWorkshop on Marriage and Family Therapy includes a Student Learning Guide along with 85 minutes (20 clips) of course specific video footage is included on a CD-ROM. Available free when packaged with Kilpatrick.

Long-range Effects of Child and Adolescent Sexual Experiences: Myths, Mores, and Menaces

Making a unique contribution of placing the current sexual exploitation of children and adolescents firmly in its historical context, this book looks at the family's and society's roles in child and adolescent sex abuse. Unlike most previous studies, this study allows a range of responses from negative to positive and avoids the methodological problems inherent in many other studies. Most studies combine the age groups of children and adolescents, whereas this study separates these different age groups and compares the nature and outcome of sexual experiences of children with those of adolescents. Utilizing sophisticated analytical measures, the author's findings repudiate many commonly held assumptions and serve to calm current hysteria regarding sexual abuse of minors. Written to disseminate findings that could be helpful in realistically confronting the phenomenon of human sexuality, the results presented in this book dispel many current myths about early sexuality, including ethnic differences. The author wanted to separate scientific inquiry from the perpetration of pervading mores or social norms, and identify the real menaces to healthy adult functioning.
