Fathering and Child Maltreatment
Current gaps in the knowledge base concerning fathers who have maltreated a child affect social workers’ ability to provide effective services. The purpose of this study was to better understand the challenges and strengths of fathers related to child maltreatment, as well as the ways context, attitudes, and behaviors affect their parenting relationships. A traditional grounded theory study was conducted with 15 fathers involved in a treatment pr…
Physical and Emotional Sibling Violence
With physical and emotional sibling violence being one of the most common forms of violence against children (Straus, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 2006), the implications of this type of violence should be understood as a significant part of family violence across the life span. Social work, with its person-in-environment focus, should consider and address all types of violence affecting children and adults, including physical and emotional violence betw…
Capacity Building Legacies
What strategies did early boards of managers of charitable human service agencies pursue to build capacity in a way that sustained their efforts for more than a hundred years? Using primary and secondary documents to focus on two organizations- The Male Orphan Asylum (1846) and the Protestant Episcopal Church Home (1875)-three norms emerged: run it like a business, keep it like a house, and base it in the community, along with a host of associate…
Multiple Ways of Coordinating Volunteers With Differing Styles of Service
Volunteerism is changing, and traditional ways of coordinating volunteers need re-examination in order for human service programs to survive. Our practitioner/academician team has been using well-known frameworks to reveal deep-seated assumptions about how people volunteer at the dawn of the 21st century and how changes in volunteering influence the organization and coordination of those efforts. The different styles of volunteering demand that c…
Grounded Theory
The authors examine one of the earliest systematic forms of qualitative inquiry to identify some of the boundaries needed in grounded theory designs to provide a small corner of clarity in the discourse about what is acceptable science from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) perspective. Beginning with an overview of grounded theory research as it was originally conceived and extended, the challenges for establishment of a uniform standard are …
Emergent Program Planning as Competent Practice
Built on the assumption that both rational and nonrational thought go into problem solving, but only rational approaches have been presented as appropriate technology for program development, this article offers an alterative way of designing social programs. We call this approach “emergent planning.” Our aim is to provide a conceptualization of planning processes that will be useful regardless of culture, mission or goals of the human service or…
Belief Systems in Faith-Based Human Service Programs
Using a grounded theory design and methods, 65 key informants in 15 faith-based organizations having promising programs in four urban areas were interviewed. Respondents were asked what makes their direct service programs faith-based. A story emerges, motivated by mission-driven visions tied to forces beyond local programs and steeped in deep traditions. A major implication of the findings is that in teaching people about the various practices of…
Teaching Students About Collaborative Approaches to Organizational Change
This article explores the implications of teaching students about collaborative practice in organizations and how collaboration in making changes requires finding and developing alternative models to traditional approaches. It discusses the limits of models of planned change that are taught in organizational practice, identifies the underlying assumptions of collaborative approaches to change, and proposes a beginning framework for teaching stude…
