From Family of Origin to Romantic Relationships
This cross-cultural study explored the impact of positive childhood family experiences on the romantic relationship satisfaction of emerging adults in the US and China. Findings affirmed that parent-child closeness significantly predicts romantic relationship satisfaction (β = 0.249, p < .001 for the US; β = 0.269, p < .001 for China). The secure dimension of adult attachment served as a key linking variable (standardized indirect effect are 0.14…

Professional quality of life in home visitors
Infant and early childhood home visiting models are gaining prominence as effective programs for families. Most U.S. state infant mental health associations (IMHAs) recommend reflective supervision (RS) and Infant Mental Health (IMH‐E ® ) Endorsement ® as components of home visitor professional development. These efforts may promote workforce professional quality of life. It is unknown whether a workplace policy to provide RS improves the likelih…
Screening for Housing Instability and Homelessness Among Families Undergoing Child Maltreatment Investigation
Highlights Mixed methods, population survey of housing instability and homelessness. Three‐question screening tool intended to identify housing instability and homelessness. Housing problems and homelessness were associated with outcome of child welfare investigations
I am part of every decision’
The majority of children in the child welfare system enter because of neglect and come from poor families with high rent burden, substandard housing and risk for homelessness. In this paper, we describe a model programme for families with dual vulnerability in housing and child welfare. Clients presented with a variety of parenting, substance use and/or mental health issues. The Supportive Housing for Families (SHF) programme prioritizes prompt f…
Mothers’ Resolution of Their Young Children’s Psychiatric Diagnoses
Emerging Adults’ Identity Exploration
The study investigates the experiences of emerging adults who had worked as counselors at overnight summer camps; identity-related issues emerge as most salient in the analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with 12 women and 8 men from 8 camps. Their descriptions portray the identity exploration that took place within the camp context, through opportunities to try out roles and responsibilities ranging from the adult-like role model to the mor…

Measuring Parent Engagement in Foster Care
Today, child welfare agencies widely endorse a family-centered approach to foster care casework. This approach centers on a collaborative parent-caseworker relationship as a mechanism for maintaining parents' engagement in services and presumes that continued engagement will propel parents toward reunification. However, despite the importance of engaging parents, parents of in foster care are understudied. The existing literature offers little in…

Psychological Abuse in Family Studies
One of the first documented psychoeducational programs to educate college students about the perils of psychological abuse is described. The intervention was designed to help students examine their personal experiences of psychological abuse and consider how the information could be used in their careers. The process of creating the intervention and publicizing it to the campus community is discussed. The content of the intervention, participants…
Writing Amicus Curiae and Policy Briefs
In this article, we make an argument for the importance of policy education for marriage and family students as a way of promoting critical thinking and engagement in science translation or advocacy. Several relevant active pedagogical approaches to teaching about law/policy are reviewed. We then describe the objectives and assignments from a class on Child Welfare, Law, and Social Policy, including written policy briefs and amicus curiae (friend…
Mentoring special youth populations
Whereas mentoring programs are well received as support services, very little empirical research has been conducted to assess the effectiveness of these programs to meet the diverse needs of different special populations of youth. Potentially useful theoretical orientations (attachment, parental acceptance‐rejection, social support, adult development, host provocation) and a sociomotivational model of mentoring are presented to complement Rhodes'…
Bridging Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory and Attachment Theory in the Preschool Strange Situation
Parental acceptance-rejection theory (PARTheory) and attachment theory evolved independently but along parallel lines, creating many similarities but also significant differences. This article is the first attempt to describe these similarities and differences, and to test expected linkages between theories using attachment theory's Preschool Strange Situation procedures. Results of analyses showed that PARTheory's parental behavior measures were…

Worldwide Mental Health Correlates of Parental Acceptance-Rejection
Cross-cultural and intracultural evidence converges on the conclusion that four classes of mental health issues are possible worldwide correlates of parental acceptance-rejection. Strongest evidence supports parental acceptance-rejection theory's personality subtheory that postulates a universal relationship between perceived parental acceptance-rejection and psychological adjustment. Substantial evidence also supports the likelihood of worldwide…
Mothers' resolution of their children's diagnosis
In this paper we examine mothers' representations of one form of trauma to the caregiving system: the experience of receiving a diagnosis of a chronic illness or disability in their child. An interview and classification system was used with 91 mothers of children ages 15–50 months with cerebral palsy or epilepsy. Mothers were classified as Resolved or Unresolved with respect to their child's diagnosis and grouped into subcategories within these …
