Childhood attachment insecurity and shame-proneness in adulthood
Shame-proneness refers to one's dispositional tendency to experience shame across a variety of situations. Shame-proneness is significantly related to a wide range of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse, and more.

Bringing SBIRT into the Community
Continuing education (CE) is critical to effective social work practice.

One school of social work offered 3 annual, 1-day CE opportunities focusing on different aspects of SBIRT for practicing social workers. Data on participants’ knowledge, attitude, skills, self-efficacy, and behavioral intent w…
The power of siblings and caregivers
Children affected by HIV and AIDS have significantly higher rates of mental health problems than unaffected children. There is a need for research to examine how social support functions as a source of resiliency for children in high HIV-prevalence settings such as South Africa. The purpose of this research was to explore how family social support relates to depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress (PTS). Using the ecological model as a fra…

Factors Related to the Delivery of Trauma Services in Outpatient Treatment Programs
In recent years there has been growing recognition of the role of trauma in substance abuse treatment; however, only 20% of outpatient treatment programs report offering trauma services. We conducted a secondary analysis of the 2012 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) and explore how demographic, population served, and organization variables distinguish those programs that offer trauma services from those that do not. …
Mental health of youth orphaned due to Aids in South Africa
This research explored the biological and social support relationship between youth orphaned due to AIDS and his/her caregiver to identify protective factors that are related to positive mental health outcomes. These youth have significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms compared to those orphaned due to other causes and non-orphans. Using a 2009 cross-sectional data-set from South Africa, 254 yout…
Development of the Policy Advocacy Behavior Scale
Contemporary trends in social service delivery systems require human service agencies to engage in greater levels of advocacy to reform structures and protect programs that serve vulnerable populations. Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to measure the policy advocacy behavior of nonprofit human service agencies. Method: Organizational demographic and policy advocacy behavior data were collected from 43 nonprofit hu…
Religion and Substance Abuse Treatment
The relationship between personal religiousness and substance abuse treatment outcomes has emerged as an important issue in the public health arena. Using the 'moral community' perspective, a conceptual framework developed byStark, Kent, and Doyle (1982)to analyze the contextual effects of religion, we explore the degree to which religion influences two drug treatment outcome measures-critical retention and commitment to treatment. The data are d…
Changes in Satisfaction and Institutional Attitudes of Catholic Priests, 1970-1993
A 1970 survey of American Catholic diocesan priests was replicated in 1985 and 1993, producing trend data on morale, theological and ecclesiological attitudes, and professionalization. Overall morale and happiness were higher in 1985 and 1993 than in 1970. Problems of overwork and of meeting the rising expectations of laity rose over time; they were greater in 1993 than earlier. Self-identity as professional men gradually increased. In 1993 the y…

In order to understand the psychological impact of divorce on individuals the theory of mourning developed by John Bowlby has been used by many clinicians to inform their practice. Using data collected from 123 separated or divorced adults an instrument designed to measure Bowlby's th…

Changing Age Distribution and Theological Attitudes of Catholic Priests, 1970-1985
A 1985 survey of American Catholic priests replicated a 1970 survey and permitted tests of earlier projections made by Schoenherr and Sorensen regarding the future of the Catholic priesthood. We found that the age distribution shifted toward older ages, as projected, but not quite as drastically as expected. Contrary to the projection, theological attitudes did not shift in the conservative direction; they became more modern, especially regarding…
