Impact of Covid-19 on the Perinatal Period Through a Biopsychosocial Systemic Framework
Metoo
A review of literature in the fields of psychology and social work confirm an exploration of the experiences of sexual harassment of students by faculty and supervisors within training programs since 1979.

The findings will be presented chronologically and parallel to important milestones in the history of the women’s movement within the United States through the curre…

The researchers collected faculty gender, academic rank, institution’s Carnegie Classification and program type data from 126 COAMFTE accredited programs. Findings confirmed that even though women faculty tend to be larger in number, there is a higher proportio…
In Their Own Words
Last statements have been a common practice as part of capital punishment as far back as the 1300s in Europe. In the United States, the first execution occurred in 1608, and currently, 32 states have the death penalty. In 1991, Missouri integrated death row inmates into the general prison population, which makes this population unique compared with other death row populations across the United States. This article is a qualitative study on the th…

The research collaboration itself became a heuristic, feminist praxis, a co-creation of insight, support network, and profess…
