Voices Amidst the Smoke—Social Workers against Police Brutality in Hong Kong
Social unrest occurred across the latter half of 2019 through to early 2020 in Hong Kong. It changed the lives of many Hongkongers, and also changed the identities of a group of social workers in the city. Initiated by the Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union, around 140 social workers organised themselves into the ‘Battlefield Social Workers’. Their voices were often heard at the frontier of scenes of social conflict that were full of smoke c…
Re-Engagement and Negotiation in a Changing Political and Economic Context: Social Work in Hong Kong
This paper provides a commentary and analysis on the half-century development of social work in Hong Kong, from its origins in the twin roots of Christian ideology accompanying British colonialism and Chinese family values, the transfer of sovereignty in 1997, the Asian financial crisis and subsequent economic recession and major cuts in government funding for social welfare. We pointed out that the government had tried to co-opt social work for …
Re-empowering social workers through the online community: The experience of SWForum in Hong Kong
This paper focuses on the new form of social participation created by information and communication technologies (ICTs), as experienced by an online professional community, SWForum, in Hong Kong. The group has expressed resistance and contributed to social welfare policy development since 1997, when frontline social workers were disempowered and lost their previously influential status. From this experience, we argue that the online community has…
The Paternal Involvement of Chinese Drug Abusers: An Exploratory Study in Hong Kong
This study attempted to investigate the relationship of drug abusers' performance in fathering, drug use status, self-esteem, and marital satisfaction in a convenience sample of 125 drug abusers referred by a social service agency that is serving ex-offenders. The Chinese Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale, the Chinese Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Inventory of Father Involvement were used to measure respondents…

Reliability and validity analyses were performed. The refined version was then cross-validated on a group of identified drug abusers (N = 77). Results: The final version of the Chinese …
The Widowers' Bereavement Process and Death Rituals: Hong Kong Experiences
This study explores the function of death rituals in the widowers' bereavement process. Four widowers holding different beliefs were interviewed. It was found that the respondents benefited from the performance of death rituals and the participants' support. They also had self-evolved postfuneral rituals for creating a continuing bond with their deceased wives, and this is a crucial step toward the goal of accommodation in bereavement for the res…
Psychotropic Drug Prescribing to Chronic Schizophrenics in a Hong Kong Hospital
There is little information on the prescription practice for chronic schizophrenics, especially in Asia. A survey in a mental hospital in Hong Kong revealed a high mean daily dose of antipsychotics and a high frequency of use of anticholinergic drugs. The significance of these findings is discussed
