African American Parents and Attitudes About Child Disability and Early Intervention Services
Few studies have explored the attitudes of African American parents about child disability and early intervention services. Research and data suggest that early intervention services are effective in preparing preschool-aged children identified with disabilities for school. However, the underrepresentation of African American children enrolled in early intervention is an ongoing policy concern. This exploratory study examined the perceptions and …

Integrated Care Services
Drug use and abuse continues to be one of America's major dilemmas, and for decades there have been formal discourses regarding drug abuse as a major societal problem. These discussions have shifte
The Role of Fathers in Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention
Adolescent substance abuse has been a major problem in society for many decades. Prevention has been deemed the most successful approach for dealing with this problem. Most research on this area focuses on family and emphasizes the role of mothers as either protective factors or as risk factors. The role of the father is more ambiguously discussed. The father figure can either be a member of the biological family or of the selective family. This …
Attachment Theory and Substance Abuse
Some often describe substance abuse as a disease with no cure. An alternative etiology of substance abuse may be examined through a modern attachment theory lens. Examining substance abuse as a symptom of an underlying problem rather than a stand-alone disease leads to discussing alternative treatments. This article explores substance abuse as a faulty activation of attachment strategies stemming from insecure attachment relationships in infancy …

Avoiding Type III, IV, and V Errors through Collaborative Research
Major types of empirical errors reviewed by a number of leading research textbooks include discussions of Type I and Type II errors. However, applied human service researchers can commit other types of errors that should be avoided. The potential benefits of the applied, collaborative research (in contrast to traditional participatory research) include an assurance that the study begins with the "right" questions that are important for community …
Contemporary Social Policy Analysis Methods
This article focuses on how policy analysts address complex social issues and problems by organizing them into ethic-based analytic components and utilizing an array of quantitative and qualitative methods, including program outcome and impact evaluation, cost-benefit analysis, and assessments of local political influence on implementation process. Four articles generated by doctoral students under the guidance of their faculty instructor demonst…
Social Group Work Practice
As treatments for different client groups have evolved, group therapy has grown in popularity. Evidence-based practices have expanded their range to the treatment of different clientele and specifi
Dietary and Behavioral Strategies of Neandertals and Anatomically Modern Humans
This article describes how decision-makers may use a relatively simple cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) method in policy formulation in human service organizations. The main contention of this article is that decision-makers need to know how to better effect policy decisions based on quantitative data. CEA is a decision-making tool which has been used sparingly in human service organizations, even though it is considered to be extremely useful i…
Substance Abuse among Professionals
Professionals throughout America work to reduce the number of drug abusers in our society. Drug abuse is a very familiar topic that receives a great deal of attention from the media and health care organizations. The information provided in this paper emphasizes the lack of attention that professionals receive as they struggle with substance abuse. This paper focuses on studies and the lack of research pertaining to the treatment of social work p…
Substance Abuse Treatment in United States Prisons
A literature review was completed to explore the existing, scholarly articles concerning substance abuse treatment programs offered in different U.S. prisons. The theoretical perspectives that were applied in the treatment of inmates were analyzed, and recommendations were given about how to expand upon completed work with these individuals. Upon examination, it was discovered that the primary theories and models used in various types of substanc…

The need to publish in academia is motivated by the drive to survive in an environment of educators even though the individual's foundation has been or may still be as a social work practitioner. T
Executive Cognitive Function of Older People with HIV/Aids
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been a growing area of concern for social workers and other health care professionals. Living with HIV/AIDS in the primary care clients are more vulnerable to be subjected to executive cognitive impairment. Clients' cognitive impairment can prevent their families and health care professionals from understanding concerns about executive cognitive functioning. Althoug…
Social Service Research
This article and each of the articles in this journal discuss general social service research applications with different populations at risk. While sharing much in common with respect to many of the technical characteristics of the research process, each of these articles was selected through a peer-review process because of its applicability to the field. Understanding phenomena requires an openness and exposure to a complex array of methods de…
Toward a Definition of Social Work Practice
The nature of social work practice is explored, and whether a definition can be achieved that is inclusive of all social work practitioners. Several sources of difficulty in achieving an inclusive definition are presented, such as the profession's history, the range of social work jobs and the different settings. The original definition of social work practice was conceived as a work in progress. There is no reason to believe that a uniform defin…
Workfare Programs
Workfare initially originated as an approach to guide welfare recipients towards self-sufficiency. Today, the same strategy is being utilized as a desperate means by the States to move welfare recipients into the workforce in order not to suffer further cuts in federal assistance. This paper reviews many of the common barriers which participants experience as they attempt to move from being welfare recipients to employees. In addition, it present…
An Integrated Human Behavior Theory
In this article, the behavioral exchange model as derived from the work of Emerson, is presented to help the practitioner more adequately conceptualize the interaction between the clinician and the client. This model can help the clinician develop and further his/her understanding of how power differentials between the clinician and the client affect the therapeutic relationship. This model describes how clients use a cost-benefit framework to de…
Cognitive Variables
The literature indicates systematic attempts have been made to combine the approach of cognitive therapy with behavior therapy. The following paper reflects that much research has been done in this area showing great promise. Certainly the cognitive variable is significant in the treatment of human behavior, yet it can not be considered in isolation of other dimensions of behavior. Significant contributions have been made in the treatment of depr…
Human Behavior Theory
This manuscript addresses emerging trends and issues in human behavior theory with special reference to the relevance of these trends to social work practice. Specific items addressed are: gender and ethnic racial variables, biological variables, life span development, cognitive variables, learning theory, group level variables, exchange theory, macro level variables and the labeling and perceptual process
Graduate Social Work Education
In this article we review the current state of empirical research on graduate social work education, focusing on the major curriculum content areas of research, practice skills, human behavior and social environment, policy, values, and field instruction. We address what has been accomplished to date and which areas are especially in need of quality research investigations
