The Effects of Relative Income Deprivation and Low Income on Adult Mental Health
The Vernacular Ethics of Stigmatized Care
Social workers in Palestine routinely navigate issues of stigma with their clients without formal ethical guidance. This constructivist grounded theory study examines how Palestinian social workers in the West Bank organize themselves ethically to provide stigmatized care—where social workers supporting people with socially rejected conditions and experiences can face community scorn by extension. We conducted focus groups and individual intervie…
Staying in their own lane
Clinical activism in community-based practice
The Eromin Center was founded in Philadelphia in 1973, aiming to provide lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) affirmative mental health treatment 6 months before the American Psychiatric Association voted to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II; American Psychiatric Association, 1968). This study of archival records and oral histories with Eromin Center staff and volunteers reveals …
Renewing the Ethics of Care for Social Work under the Trump Administration
Under the Trump administration, social workers across the United States are facing frequent and fundamental ethical dilemmas about the treatment of marginalized and oppressed people. This is evident in many practice and policy domains, but one particularly stark example is social workers tasked with providing clinical care for undocumented youths separated from guardians in detention facilities. These social workers are typically isolated in thei…

Learning Together
In this coauthored reflection, we share our experiences as three MSW students and one PhD student working closely together over the 2013–2014 academic year on MSW thesis projects. The PhD student served as research advisor for our group, but we created a collaborative supervision structure. We met weekly by Skype during busy periods, read each other’s drafts, coded excerpts of each other’s interviews, pushed at and challenged each other’s analyse…
Attitudes among young adults in Palestine about peers with substance use problems
Social reintegration is necessary to support people in recovery from addiction, but it is often difficult in Palestine due to stigma. Bin Hussein’s instrument for measuring receptivity to social reintegration in various contexts in Saudi Arabia was employed for comparison in the West Bank. Data were collected in 2013 at Al-Quds University at the Abu Dis campus. More than half of the respondents have moderate attitudes toward social reintegration …
Teaching Clinical Social Work Under Occupation
The authors were invited to teach clinical social work in the Palestinian West Bank. In order to teach, we designed a study exploring how 65 Palestinian social work students described the psychological and social effects of working under occupation. Students described social stressors of poverty, unemployment, lack of infrastructure, violence, imprisonment, separation of families, and severe constraints on travel. They identified depression, suic…
Recognition of Social Pain among Peers
Antibullying interventions that encourage bystanders to intervene have variable outcomes, some even associated with increased rates of bullying. In this article, I account for these challenges with a reconceptualization of the bystander role within an intersubjective field of traumatic enactment. Bystanders in adolescence and emerging adulthood can learn to play a crucial role in mitigating the traumatic effects of peer aggression by providing re…

The Restoration and Preservation of Some Objects from Etowah
Steps taken to clean copper objects from the Etowah site, and to eliminate malignant patina or 'bronze disease,' are discussed. The objects are considered in terms of paraphernalia attributed to the Southern Cult. One bilobed hair emblem bears representations of figures in ceremonial dress. One of the figures may be an impersonator of the Long-Nosed God
The Rape of Wayland
The removal of loam from the grounds of the Old Mansion Inn, Wayland, Massachusetts, exposed blackened areas which were investigated by local collectors. The site was obviously a rich and unusual burial area, probably including cremations, with good possibilities for radiocarbon dating of the entire tool assemblage. Unfortunately, the site was destroyed within a very short time by children, their parents, and friends, assisted by some local colle…
The Eastern Archaic
Unraveling an archaeological problem has often been compared to the solution of a crime, differing from the latter in the coldness of the trail. The 'whodunit' detective approaches omniscience; the archaeologist can only hope for a small degree of information about the material clues to his case. It might be more apt to compare the archaeologic process in the Northeast to an attempt to find out what went into the hash, for scraps of leftovers are…
Radiocarbon Dates for the Bull Brook Site, Massachusetts
Descriptive articles (Eldridge and Vaccaro 1952; Byers 1954, 1955, 1956) have discussed various aspects of the Bull Brook site. Byers (1955) describes in considerable detail the conditions under which certain artifacts were recovered. In August and September, 1957, crumbs of charcoal were found in another part of the site by W. A. Eldridge and the Vaccaros; Byers was notified and in September he personally recovered charcoal under conditions whic…
An Introduction to Five Papers on the Archaic Stage
The word 'archaic' appears in the literature of New World archaeology with more than one usage. In 1910, the existence of three levels of human remains was demonstrated in the Valley of Mexico. The lowest level, in which well-developed ceramics were included, was characterized by hand-modeled human figurines in contrast to the mold made ones of Toltec and Aztec horizons. The civilization of the lowest level came to be called 'the archaic type' (B…
Unfired Clay Objects from Waterfall Ruin, Northeastern Arizona
Waterfall Ruin (N.A. 2676), a cave ruin in the Chinlee Valley about 12 miles south of Poncho House, has been briefly described by Guernsey (1931: 32-6) and was the subject of further excavation by Peabody Museum parties led by Oliver La Farge in 1924 and by the senior author in 1933. A number of modeled clay objects obtained in 1933 are of interest as tending to bridge the gap between the Basketmaker III clay complex and certain later manifestati…

Radiocarbon Dates from Ellsworth Falls, Maine
Through the kindness of H. R. Crane and the Radiocarbon Laboratory, Michigan Memorial, Phoenix Project, ages of 2 samples of charcoal submitted by us have been determined. The samples in question were secured by us at the Smith Farm, Ellsworth Falls, Maine, during the summers of 1949 and 1950. Sample M89 was run twice and assays at 4150±450, and 3800±400, average 3959 ±310 or 2005 B.C. Sample M90 assays at 3350 + 400 or 1400 B.C.These samples wer…
Additional Information on the Bull Brook Site, Massachusetts
Due to the kind invitation of William C. Eldridge and the Vaccaro brothers, discoverers of the site, I have had opportunities to visit and excavate in this flutedpoint site during the current spring. In part of the work I was accompanied by Theodore L. Stoddard.In April we went to examine a possible hearth area where concentrations of charcoal had been reported in association with fragments of artifacts and chips of the stone used by the paleo-In…
Bull Brook - A Fluted Point Site in Ipswich, Massachusetts
The Bull Brook Site, near Ipswich, Mass., was discovered in the spring of 1951 by William C. Eldridge, of East Lynn, and Joseph Vaccaro, of Beverly, Massachusetts. Both are members of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society. A brief notice of the site appeared over their names (Eldridge and Vaccaro, 1952). The site was worked by them, with the assistance of Nicola, Frank, and Tony Vaccaro, Alfred Thibodeau, Tony Orsini, E. E. Tizzer, Howard A. J…

Fluted Points from Wisconsin
Recently, two fluted points from Wisconsin were brought to the writer's attention by W. F. Spengler, a student at Phillips Academy. They are the property of his father, Mr. S. L. Spengler of Menasha, Wisconsin, who very kindly sent them to Andover for the writer's inspection. Both finds were surface finds, but in spite of this fact it seems worth recording them, since both are known to have come from the vicinity of Madison. The smaller of the tw…

Some Methods Used in Excavating Eastern Shell Heaps
This paper is intended as an aid for those conscientious amateur archaeologists who are interested in preserving their specimens and the data which goes with them. In answer to many questions, and in the hope that this paper may be of some help to those desiring to systematize their field methods, there are here set down some of the practices that have been applied to shell heap excavation with fair success

On the Interpretation of Faunal Remains
There is little doubt that the archaeologist in marginal areas who attempts to interpret his finds may be led to false conclusions if he accepts at face value statements concerning ranges of species whose remains he discovers in village refuse. He should remember that in nature living beings are not subject to marshalling behind sharply defined limits, but will almost inevitably be found outside the accepted 'range,' either because of migration o…
Concerning Sandia Cave
With the publication, in this issue of American Antiquity, of a review of the Hibben-Bryan report on evidence of early occupation in Sandia cave and its correlation with the glacial chronology, there will doubtless come to the minds of many readers the interchanges which have occurred in these pages from time to time since the publication of 'A Chronological Problem Presented by Sandia Cave' by Wesley L. Bliss, V. 5, p. 200, this series. The revi…

A Further Note on the Squibnocket Cliff Shell Heap
In the recently published paper Two Sites on Martha's Vineyard , the section devoted to the Squibnocket Cliff site included speculation as to the manner of accumulation of the midden deposit, and included a statement that of the portion of the site remaining, the most complicated in structure lay near the edge of the cliff. It was further implied that the center of the deposit had vanished into the sea, and that only the outer fringes remained. D…
