Method: The Elements of Child Welfare Practice (ECWP) measure was developed following an extensive literature review, with input from child welfare research experts and an anti-col…
Benjamin’s Rhetoric
The welcome expansion of kairos beyond its traditional locus in public debate to a broad range of discourse forms and persuasive actions has not been matched by a reevaluation of the temporal logic of kairos, which is still seen as located in teleologic time.

Factors associated with the decision to investigate child protective services referrals
Limited resources for child protection create challenging decision situations for child protective services (CPS) workers at the point of intake. A body of research has examined the factors associated with worker decisions and processes using a variety of methodological approaches to gain knowledge on decision‐making. However, few attempts have been made to systematically review this literature. As part of a larger project on decision‐making at i…

Using integrated visualization techniques to investigate associations between cardiovascular health outcomes and residential migration in Auckland, New Zealand
The negative health effects of living in a deprived neighborhood may influence the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), even after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, and there is evidence that residential mobility is associated with mortality and morbidity rates. However, few studies have investigated the application of integrated visualization techniques and statistic modeling to communicate the association between residenti…

Child Maltreatment and the Justice System
Objectives: Characteristics of the child victim, perpetrator, and maltreatment incident were used to examine predictors of court involvement in cases of serious child maltreatment. Method: Cases were drawn from those reported to: child protective services (n = 225), sheriff's office ( n = 225), prosecutor's office ( n = 60), and dependency court ( n = 65). Logistic regression was used to calculate predicted probabilities of criminal court involve…

Freud's Rat Man and the Case Study
Freud's Rat Man and the Case Study: Genre in Three Keys" analyses the Rat Man case in terms of literary, sociolinguistic, and rhetoric genre theories, focusing on his use temporality and quotation to create the institutional setting in which the case is read. Freud's case is then contrasted with a contemporary psychiatric case study, in which clinical and institutional discourses are juxtaposed. The essay argues for a productive dialogue among li…

Out of the Dead House
From a twentieth-century perspective, one of the most unexpected activities of Martha Bal-lard, a late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century midwife in frontier Maine, was her participation with local physicians in performing autopsies, even that of one of her own relatives who was in many ways a daughter to her. In her book, Susan Wells uses medical dissection as a factor with which to explore the history of nineteenth-century women physician…
