Can the Council on Social Work Education Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards Be Exported to Cuba
The purpose of this article is to examine Cuba’s social work profession through the lens of the United States’ Council on Social Work Education’s Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards. The examination, based on observations made during a research trip to Cuba, deepened our understanding of transcultural perceptions of social work, social problems, modes of practice, and standards of professional competence. We sought to answer the questi…
Intergenerational Families of Holocaust Survivors
Researchers from the Templeton study, "Forgiveness, Resiliency, and Survivorship Among Holocaust Survivors," and the Transcending Trauma Project, combined efforts to examine six transcripts of interviews with survivors of the Nazi Holocaust. The researchers focused on the nature of parent-child family dynamics before, during, and after the Holocaust. They refined a Family Resilience Template (FRT) originally based on an ecological-systems design,…
Resilience as Effective Functional Capacity
This article presents the premise that resilience rests on an ecological-systems conceptual base that explains how people adapt to stress and maintain their daily functioning. The resilience ecological-stress model presented here uses the ecological-systems perspective, commonly known as the person-environment approach, as a unifying, overarching framework to describe an integrated approach for social work research, education, and practice. It ev…
Holocaust Survivors
Three waves of resilience research have resulted in resilience-enhancing educational and therapeutic interventions. In the first wave of inquiry, researchers explored the traits and environmental characteristics that enabled people to overcome adversity. In the second wave, researchers investigated the processes related to stress and coping. In the third wave, studies examined how people grow and are transformed following adverse events, often le…
A Holocaust Survivorship Model
This article uses quotations from interviews with survivors of the Nazi Holocaust to illustrate the components of the Holocaust Survivorship Model. How better to understand the Holocaust than through the words of the survivors? Their voices speak for those whose voices were stilled forever and help create a history for those who perished
Erikson's Healthy Personality, Societal Institutions, and Holocaust Survivors
The researchers conducted a content analysis of transcripts of interviews with survivors of the Nazi Holocaust. They coded relevant passages as representing favorable or unfavorable outcomes of each of eight psychosocial crises according to Eriksonian criteria. Data also included survivors' self-assessments of their success in meeting Erikson's eight stages of development and their evaluations of other survivors' "success" at each stage. Transcri…
Family Dynamics, the Nazi Holocaust, and Mental Health Treatment
This article describes survivors' family dynamics before, during, and after the Nazi Holocaust. Demographics and the Danieli Typology were used to explore family dynamics among the full sample. The researcher constructed a family resilience template, synthesizing the assumptions of ecological, family systems, and risk and resilience theories about family adaptability, to guide the analysis of interview transcripts. The survivors' own words became…
Conceptualizing a Holocaust Survivorship Model
This article is one of the first in an issue that presents the findings of the study “Forgiveness, Resiliency, and Survivorship Among Holocaust Survivors” funded by the John Templeton Foundation. The issue includes findings from a major quantitative study of 133 survivors and a number of smaller qualitative studies of sub-samples of survivors. The Templeton study incorporated a number of theoretical frameworks to describe critical events in survi…
Holocaust Survivors
This article revisits the findings of an earlier study, "Holocaust Survivors: A Study in Resilience," that appeared in the Journal of Gerontological Social Work in 2002. That study's findings were generally consistent with other research related to resilience that suggested that survivors rebuilt their lives, forming families, establishing careers, and engaging in community service. These findings are also consistent with the theme of this issue,…
Role of Resilience Among Nazi Holocaust Survivors
This article reports preliminary results of a Templeton Foundation-funded research project on the role of resiliency and forgiveness in 133 elderly Holocaust survivors. We use resilience theory to explore how individuals heal following exposure to an adverse event. We present preliminary findings on survivors' perceptions of their resiliency before, during, and after the Holocaust and suggest a paradigm shift to one in which maintaining competenc…
Resilience in the Face of Disasters
This paper discusses the use of risk and resilience theory to understand how individuals and communities respond to natural disasters that present ongoing developmental challenges to personal and collective well-being. In the past two to three decades, mental health workers have developed numerous disaster relief strategies; while economists have become expert at estimating risk. These develops are explored

Chapter 10. Care Needs of Older Adults Following a Traumatic or Disastrous Event
This chapter addresses biopsychosocial and spiritual needs of older adults following a traumatic or disastrous event. It assumes that most older adults have established a pattern of positive adaptation over the life course as they encountered acute stress or chronic adversities. The importance of social supports and mutual aid is also described
Chapter 2. Intervention Continued
This chapter describes the case management process-a process for assisting individuals and families with multiple service needs-and its use in various fields of practice including mental health, human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), and services for older adults. It addresses the role of the case manager as the person responsible for ensuring the timely and adequate delivery of suitable community-based s…
Chapter 1. Introduction
This chapter introduces the Functional-Age Model and its recent modifications. It describes how FAM is used to assess and intervene with families of later years who are experiencing potentially stressful caregiving situations. The chapter also presents research on interventions designed for caregivers
Reflections on Hurricane Katrina by Older Adults
This article presents three case studies of older adults who survived Hurricane Katrina. Their narratives are used to illustrate risk and resilience theory as well as principles of survivorship. Implications for social work practice are provided
The Contemporary Older Man
This edition of the Journal has included a series of articles on the contemporary man in his elder years and the challenges and opportunities he may face. For example, an article by Bullock brings attentions to the increasing number of grandfathers who are becoming responsible for their grandchildren in the absence of fathers. Her study of 26 men age 65 and above who are responsible for the care of at least one grandchild revealed perceptions of …
Redefining Social Work for the New Millennium
Social workers began the new millennium enmeshed in a climate of change. Educators are revisiting debates about how best to conceptualize the social work curriculum. Clients are facing a wide range of problems as they confront the uncertainty of daily life. These conditions call for a “sustained, critical examination of the profession” and “our definition” of social work (Call for Paper, 2000). In response to this current crisis in social work, t…
Resilience Theory
This paper examines the theoretical assumptions of resiliency theory and tests these assumptions through a qualitative research design. Eighteen professionals were interviewed to gain a clearer understanding of what conditions practitioners thought act as buffers to life stress and contribute to coping and resilience. Themes that frequently emerged from the data included personal attitude, spirituality/religion, education, and multilevel attachme…

Ageism, Death Anxiety and the Caseworker
This paper presents the results of an exploratory research study designed to identify some of the attitudes and socio-cultural characteristics of social workers practicing in the field of aging. Data were collected from two groups of caseworkers-one group with a geriatric caseload, the other with a non-geriatric caseload. There were striking and significant differences between the two groups in their preferences for working with particular client…
