U.S. social work students’ attitudes on social media as treatment modality: A prepandemic national survey
The present U.S.-based study adds to the ongoing discourse on the ethical use of digital technology in social work practice, made more urgent by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Following the achievement of Human Subjects approval, we obtained a stratified, random sample of 150 institutions of higher education with Council on Social Work Education-accredited undergraduate and graduate social work programs. Prior to COVID-19, we administer…
Social work & social media: A survey of use, attitudes, and knowledge among U.S. students
The propagation of social media carries important ethical ramifications for communication norms, democracy, societal wellbeing, and individual mental health. These issues fall within the professional purview of social work. The purpose of this national survey study (N = 430) was to describe social media use, attitudes, and knowledge among social work students across the United States. To achieve this stated purpose, the authors obtained IRB Human…
Abolish the Monopolizing of the Earth
At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, an industrial capitalist order stretched its grasp across the globe, placing control of farms, mines, and forests in the hands of wealthy industrialists. Living through this period of rapid and unequal economic and environmental change, anarchists denounced what they called the monopolizing of the earth and its products. Anarchists were deeply critical of the privatization of the environment …
“Human behavior and the social media environment”: Group differences in social media attitudes and knowledge among U.S. social work students
Social media has ethical implications for social work practice, and accordingly, for professional identity and social work education. In Spring 2019, we administered a 57-item survey to undergraduate and graduate social work students (N = 42) in order to ascertain attitudes about and knowledge of social media at a public university in the Southeastern United States. The purpose of the present study is to explore group differences between social w…
Aboveground, Underground, and Locked Down
Incarcerated people in Washington have published a variety of periodicals, ranging from general prison news to radical newspapers that debated ideologies like communism, anarchism, and Black nationalism. This article examines radical periodicals published in and concerning prisons to better understand struggles over the prisoners' press in Washington. First, it contextualizes this history with a discussion of militant prisoner support movements i…
Social media use, attitudes, and knowledge among social work students: Ethical implications for the social work profession
The propagation of social media carries potentially rich ethical implications for communication norms, societal well-being, and individual mental health (i.e., human development and behavior). These concerns fall within the professional purview of social work. The purpose of this pilot survey research study is two-fold: (1) to describe and explore variables of interest, and their ethical implications, within the data pertaining to social work stu…
The Criminalization of Immigration and Intellectual Disability in the United States
Public attitudes, negative stereotypes, and stigma are essential to cultural narratives about the membership status of people with intellectual disability and people who have immigrated to the United States. With a concern for the exclusion of people from participation in democratic societies, this mixed methods study explores conceptual links between the criminalization of intellectual disability and immigration. The overlay of criminal justice …
Understanding American Power: Conceptual Clarity, Strategic Priorities, and the Decline Debate
What does it mean for the United States to be powerful? The prospect of a decline in American power, especially relative to a rising China, has attracted considerable scholarly and political attention. Despite a wealth of data, disagreements persist regarding both the likely trajectory of the US ‐China balance and the most effective strategy for preserving America's advantage into the future. This article locates the source of these enduring disp…
Chronicling subversion: The Cronaca Sovversiva as both seditious rag and community paper
The Cronaca Sovversiva (Subversive Chronicle) was an anarchist newspaper, known today for the views of editor Luigi Galleani, whose ideas are associated with multiple bombings carried out in the United States throughout the 1910s and 1920s, the First Red Scare and the executed anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. A broad reading of the Cronaca Sovversiva , which focusses on more than its connections to controversy, violence and repres…
Killing Norms Softly: US Targeted Killing, Quasi-secrecy and the Assassination Ban
This article argues that when actors engage in controversial new security practices, it is misconceived to view secrecy as an opposed, counterproductive alternative to the pursuit of legitimation. Rather, we propose, deployment of “quasi-secrecy”—a combination of official secrecy with leaks, selective disclosure, and de facto public awareness—can be an effective strategy for achieving normalization and legitimation while containing the risks enta…
A Scoping Review of Treatments for Older Adults with Substance Use Problems
Objectives: To identify effective treatment services for older, substance-using adults, an examination of the evidence associated with interventions for this group is presented. Methods: Using explicit, validated criteria to identify effective interventions, 22 publications were included in a review and were subject to a critical appraisal of study methodology. Results: The review identified four types of substance use treatment service settings …
Overreach: Delusions of regime change in Iraq
With the benefit of 12 years' hindsight, the United States (US) government's decision to invade Iraq in 2003 now looks assured of its status as a pre-eminent case study for those interested in self
Does the Flaw Lie within Us? Classical Realism and Unrealistic Policy
This paper argues that one of classical realism's most useful contributions may be to explain “unrealistic” behaviour of the sort that structural realists find vexingly contrary to their prescriptions. The paper engages in detail with the writing of two of the primary scholars of the classical realist school, Hans Morgenthau and Reinhold Niebuhr, to demonstrate that these theories do not posit simplistically that individuals or states always act …

A Person-Centered Approach to Multicultural Counseling Competence
This article examines current and historical trends in psychotherapy research and practice with racial/ethnic minority populations. Initially, research on Derald Sue’s multicultural counseling competencies is provided as a foundation to further examine the evidence regarding effective cultural adaptations to mainstream treatment approaches, such as cognitive-behavior therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy. Next, a brief outline of Carl Rogers’s …

A Person-Centered Approach to the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder
This article addresses psychotherapy with a person described as possessing a borderline personality disorder (BPD), or possessing features consistent with this diagnosis.

Following this review, an expanded analysis of person-centered therapy is offered, examining current research evidence and…
The art of declining politely: Obama's prudent presidency and the waning of American power
Predictions of 'American decline' have come and gone before, apparently in cycles, leading some to regard it as a cultural trope stemming from domestic insecurities rather than a serious prospect. There is reason to believe, however, that this time is different. Fundamental erosion of the United States' decades-long primacy may finally be at hand, and wise analysis should resist the temptations of contrarianism or denial. Critics of 'declinism' h…
Perceptions and policy in transatlantic relations: Prospective visions from the US and Europe
The Deal: The Balance of Power, Military Strength, and Liberal Internationalism in the Bush National Security Strategy
The Bush National Security Strategy, even as it calls for “a balance of power that favors freedom,” in truth rejects a balance of power approach to international order. It foresees instead the cooperation of all Great Powers under American leadership in furtherance of a common agenda imagined to be founded in universal values. Such rejection of a genuine “balance of power” approach represents a coherent evolution from America's long tradition of …
A Person-Centered Approach to the Treatment of Combat Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Posttraumatic stress disorder as attributed to military combat trauma results in a breakdown of a combat veteran's sense of self and the world. In the effective treatment of combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder, a therapist must help the veteran reorganize the self-structure that has become incongruent with his or her precombat-trauma self following his or her return home from war. For the therapist to facilitate a veteran's becoming whol…
Renovating Realism
Security First (Etzioni, 2007) is a weighty and worthy addition to the growing debate on how to redefine U.S. foreign policy post-Iraq. In seeking to reintroduce clarity and prioritization into U.S. strategic thinking while retaining a place for morality, Etzioni's ideas have much in common with America's 20th-century classical realist tradition. Although it does good service by restating some sound principles, the Security First model still face…
The Great Illusion: Chimeras of Isolationism and Realism in Post‐Iraq U.S. Foreign Policy 1
In light of the Bush Administration's failures in Iraq, some have foreseen a turn toward a new isolationism or realism in U.S. foreign policy. This article argues that such an ideological reorientation is unlikely. America's level of economic entwinement with others, and its role in maintaining strategic stability in certain regions, present formidable practical barriers to isolationism. Though realism might be a more plausible prospect, the natu…

For Better, for Worse: How America's Foreign Policy became Wedded to Liberal Universalism
No country has been more closely associated with the practice and ideology of “the liberal peace” than the United States. Indeed, the prominence of the concept is in major part the result of America's rise to global power. As this article sets out, the ideological history of the United States has wedded it to a brand of internationalism that rests for its integrity, in American eyes, on the pursuit of liberal universalism. Those who favour interv…
