A family of trust: African American parents' stories of adoption disclosure
Dramatic increases in same-race adoptions of African American children have stimulated interest in the experiences of these families, including those related to disclosure. Data from interviews with 27 African American adoptive parents (7 mothers and fathers interviewed conjointly, 13 mothers interviewed alone) from 20 different families revealed the following themes: (a) efforts to prevent trauma to the child; (b) respect for the child's differe…
Emotionally and behaviorally disturbed children in the child welfare system: Points of preventive intervention
Research is demonstrating more clearly than ever before the association between abuse and neglect and serious emotional and behavioral problems in children. Studies suggest that from 30% to 60% of children currently entering the child welfare system demonstrate some form of psychiatric disorder. At the same time, there is evidence that the child welfare system is failing to address the needs of these children in their care. This article proposes …

Despite widespread recognition of the risks that parental drug use pose to children, few resources are available to help such children. Using a developmental intervention approach, the authors designed and tested a model curriculum for use with groups of latency-aged children in schools located in communities where drug use is pervasive. In implementing this curriculum, the authors documented the need that children affected by family drug use hav…
The Retail Method of Social Work: The Role of the New York School in the Development of Clinical Practice
It has been 100 years since the New York School of Philanthropy opened its doors to the first training class for social workers. During the past century clinical social work has developed a philosophy and method of practice that sets it apart from other forms of professional helping. This article traces the essential and enduring contributions of faculty and students of the New York School to the development of this form of social work practice. …
The role of women's therapy groups in the treatment of chemical dependence
The distinctive needs of chemically dependent women are contrasted with those of men and discussed in relationship to traditional mixed-gender therapy groups. A qualitative study of the contrasting experiences of women in mixed-gender and women-only treatment groups confirmed the hypothesis that their treatment needs are better met in the latter, and that these groups are an essential component of programs treating chemically dependent women

Functional Theory: Its History and Influence on Contemporary Social Work Practice
This article traces the development of functional theory at the Pennsylvania School of Social Work in the 1920s and 1930s against a contextual backdrop of social work's struggle to carve out a professional identity. The evolution of this theoretical orientation to social work practice is discussed, including the often acrimonious functionaldiagnostic debates of the 1930s and 1940s. Finally, the lasting influence of functional theory on current so…
Residential Group Care for Children Considered Emotionally Disturbed, 1966-1981
Trends in the organized provision of residential group care for children considered emotionally disturbed are identified in data collected by two national surveys carried out 15 years apart, in 1966 and in 1981. Major findings include a marked increase in the use of this form of care and a shift toward the use of smaller facilities for briefer periods of time. Competing alternative explanations for these and for other changes over time, observed …
