Ethiopia’s social protection landscape

It does so in the context of examining six such forces, namely: tradition and culture, drought and famine, relations among key actors, the mainstream paradigm of development, the poverty reduction agenda of the ruling party, and constrained fiscal space that have…
The Role of Religion and Spirituality in Clinical Social Work
Social work has a history of treating the whole person in his/her environment, however, the effort to be scientific in our approach to clinical practice often has obscured our examination of the religious and spiritual beliefs and practices of our clients and in our own lives. Consequently, there has been very little guidance to date on how curriculum can help integrate the professional identities of MSW/MDiv students. An elective practice course…
Pedagogy in diversity
The role of religion and spirituality in clinical work is often a particularly sensitive subject, rich with diverse opinions and experiences. As professional, psychodynamically oriented clinicians and instructors, we have had an ambivalent relationship with religion and spirituality extending as far back as Freud. The concepts of postmodernism, identity complexity, and transitional space are revisited and utilized in this paper as tools to help d…
Constructivism
The authors propose that constructivism provides a theoretical framework suitable for the complexities of contemporary social work practice. The specific focus is on the areas of confluence of cognitive‐behavioral and psychodynamic theory and technique. Building on their earlier work on psychotherapy integration, the authors extend their notion of “starting where the client is,” is in fact a constructivist concept, critical to the meaning‐making …
The slippery slope of constructivism
While constructivism as both a philosophy and a clinical practice is being embraced by many individual and family practitioners, it remains controversial. This paper examines the difficulties one encounters in trying to balance the client's “relative truths” with those around them, including that of the therapist. Through the use of clinical vignettes, the authors demonstrate the difficulties inherent in dealing with ambiguities in the clinical s…
Assessment of cognitive schemas and attributions in psychodynamic treatment∗
The authors draw upon cognitive‐behavioral, psychodynamic, and the integrative theories and literature to propose assessment guidelines which pay attention to the understanding and use of cognition in treatment. They demonstrate how the careful assessment of schemas and attributions, when completed as part of a general ego psychological assessment, engages the client, facilitates the integration of historical and current affects and events, and o…
