Are two a family? Older single mothers assisted by sperm donation and their children revisited
This study follows 40 older single-mother families created with the aid of sperm donation using either insemination or in vitro fertilization. The study is based on qualitative data obtained from the mothers 3 years after a previous study with these families. The mean age of the mothers at this time was about 47 years and of the children 7 years. The findings provide insights into the mothers' and children's current sociodemographic characteristi…
Use of the global positioning system to measure the out-of-home mobility of older adults with differing cognitive functioning
Cognitive impairment manifests in changed out-of-home mobility. Until recently, the assessment of outdoor mobility relied on the reports of family care-givers and institutional staff and used observational approaches, activity monitoring or behavioural checklists. This article presents data for 41 mildly demented, mildly cognitively impaired and healthy men and women aged 64–90 years in Tel-Aviv (Israel) who took part in an interdisciplinary proj…

Sleep patterns of 7‐week‐old infants at familial risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Sleep patterns of 26 seven‐week‐old boys at familial risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 18 control infants were compared by objective (actigraph) and subjective (maternal sleep diary) measures, over five consecutive 24‐hr periods. Actigraph findings indicated that the groups differed on stability ( SD ) of quiet sleep only during the day. Reports in maternal sleep diaries indicated that they also differed on stability of…
Parenting of 7‐month‐old infants at familial risk for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Patterns of interaction between parents and 7‐month‐old boys at familial risk for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a comparison group were studied during a warm‐up and two play episodes. The sample included 78 (47 at‐risk, 31 comparison) mother–child and 45 (27 at‐risk, 18 comparison) father–child dyads. A coding system developed by G. Kochanska (1997, 1998) was used. Infants in the risk group did not differ from the comparison…
Families' and Professional Caregivers' Views of Using Advanced Technology to Track People With Dementia
in this study we examined the ethical aspects of the use of the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to track people with dementia. The findings are based on qualitative data gathered from focus groups of family and professional caregivers. The most important theme was the need to balance patients' need for safety with the need to preserve their autonomy and privacy. The main potential benefit of the use of GPS was related to the peace of mind of the…
Attitudes of Family and Professional Care-Givers towards the Use of GPS for Tracking Patients with Dementia
This study examined the attitudes of family and professional care-givers towards the use of advanced electronic tracking such as GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) for elderly people with dementia. The study revealed four principal findings. First, care-givers' views ranged from feeling obligated to use the tracking device for the sake of patients' safety through support of the use of the device for the sak…
Reference to Emotion States During Narrative Co-Construction With Three-Year-Old Kibbutz Children
In this study of young kibbutz children, we considered similarities and differences between mother-child dyads and metapelet (nonmaternal female caregiver)-child dyads on their rates of mentioning positive and negative emotion states and emotion calls during narrative co-construction from a text-free picture book illustrating emotionally charged situations. Thirty-two kibbutz children approximately 3 years of age, their mothers, and their metaplo…
Professional and personal hierarchies of ethical principles
We explore social workers’ perception of the importance and rank ordering of ethical principles. Do they have a generally agreed upon hierarchy of ethical principles? Do they apply similar hierarchies of ethical principles when facing different cases? Are their professional and personal hierarchies of ethical principles similar? The findings based on a structured questionnaire indicated that while social workers attach high importance to most eth…
Mother–child and metapelet–child touch behavior with three‐year‐old kibbutz children in two contexts
The frequency and function of self‐touch and of touching another was studied among 32 three‐year‐old kibbutz children, their mothers, and their metaplot [caretakers; singular: metapelet] in two contexts: coconstruction of a narrative with Duplo toys, and coconstruction of a narrative with an emotion‐evoking picture book without text. Self‐touch, mainly fidgeting, was more frequent for children during the task with the picture book and more freque…
Religiosity, nationalism and human reproduction
Israel is 280 miles long and 10 miles wide at its narrowest point; it is comparable in size to the State of New Jersey. The total population of Israel is currently about 6.5 million, of the same order as the populations of Austria, Switzerland or Denmark. Eighty per cent of the population are Jews, 15 per cent Muslim, 3 per cent Christians and 2 per cent Druze (Yaffe, 1999). Israel is a highly urban and industrialized country, with over 95 per ce…

Adult attunement and child availability
Relationships of mother and nonmaternal caregiver with 33 three-year-old kibbutz toddlers were investigated. Attunement and intrusiveness of these caregivers in their contact with children were determined by analysis of discrete child–adult interactions rather than by a global assessment of their relationships. The validity of these adult attunement scores was examined first by comparison of the attunement and intrusiveness scores of mother and o…

Professional Socialization, Ethical Judgment and Decision Making Orientation in Social Work
This cross-sectional study, which collects data at three points of time in the course of social workers' professional socialization, aims to shed more light on the impact of professional socialization on ethical judgment and decision making orientation. Utilizing both a standard measure of ethical judgment and six vignettes to identify changes in ethical decision making orientation in social work, the findings provide no support for the hypothesi…

Ethical Dilemmas in Treating Cases of Abuse of Older People in the Family
Neglect, exploitation, and violence against older people are not new, though professional treatment of the subject in practice and research started only two decades ago. This paper examines the ethical dilemmas that professionals encounter in dealing with the abuse of older people, particularly by members of their own families. Abuse of older persons, which is part of the more general phenomenon of abuse in the family, raises many ethical dilemma…
Eligibility Criteria for Cash Assistance for Older and Disabled People in Hungary
The political and economic changes presently taking place in the Central and Eastern European countries are accompanied by profound social changes for which, in terms of personal well-being, older and disabled people pay the highest price. Having lost the security of a minimum standard of living, many are exposed to poverty in its broadest sense. The collapse of governmental arrangements to provide for the minimum needs of this population led to …
Terrorism and the social worker
The volume of natural and man made traumatic events is increasing. So is the provision of counselling and support services following disasters. This means that there is a growing population of social workers at psychological risk. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the impressions and conclusions derived from the author's talks with social workers who worked with the victims of two terrorist acts that occurred within a week of one another,…
Availability of three‐year‐old kibbutz children to mothers and metapelets in two functional contexts
Responsiveness and availability of kibbutz children to mothers and to metapelets in two functional contexts were studied. Thirty-three 3-year-old children, participated in the study. Every child participated twice in two co-construction tasks: once with the mother and once with the metapelet. A factor analysis conducted over the present categories yielded six orthogonal factors: Three pertained to cooperative child involvement of the adult and th…

Assisted Reproduction in Israel and Sweden
The technological innovations in the field of human reproduction which have been advancing at a dizzying pace, especially in Israel, have posed complex ethical dilemmas for social workers and social scientists. Do these developments, particularly in vitro fertilisation, offer a feasible solution for infertile couples or are they at the same time creating difficult, intricate problems whose outcome has yet to be clarified? Is it not paradoxical th…
Infant Crying and Fussing
The study investigated infants' rates of fussing and crying in five environments in the following situations: An entire observation day in the child's natural surroundings, in the presence of familiar people, when alone, and when the main caretaker was requested to elicit a smiling response from the infant. Observed were 96 male infants aged 2, 4, 7, and 11 months from urban middle and lower class, kibbutz, Bedouin, and institutional environments…

A program for increasing early identification and prevention of mental health problems in infancy
Dealing with mental health in infancy as a specific clinical modality is relatively recent.1 Preventive programs during infancy were mainly directed to promote cognitive development. Indeed, the review on prevention by Murphy and Frank2 indicated that there are scarcely any programs directed specifically to improve mental health in infancy. This paper will describe a preventive program, conducted by the author, aimed specifically towards mental h…

Probing the Validity of Normative Data
Data validity is as critical an issue for practice as it is for research. This Research Note is a brief account of an effort to subject family functioning data to a validity analysis by using multiple informants. Results indicate that knowledge about variations in degree of validity by subject areas canenhance the quality of data for use in professional practice
Affect and attachment
In this study, the role of affect in attachment was reconsidered, and the relation between kissing, hugging, and patting behavior and attachment in infancy was explored. Ninety-six male infants, aged 2, 4, 7, and 11 months in middle- and lower-class populations in city, kibbutz, Bedouin, and institutional settings, were observed in their natural surroundings for the equivalent of a complete waking day. The affectionate responses first appeared at…
Adjustment to Loss of Spouse as a Multivariate Construct
Interview data collected in 1985–86 from a stratified random sample of widows under the age of fifty-four ( n = 150) in Israel were analyzed in an attempt to answer the following question: is adjustment to widowhood a univariate or a multivariate construct? Using four indicators for adjustment to widowhood—functioning in everyday living, depression level, health status, and life satisfaction—factors that may affect adjustment to widowhood are exa…
The Impact of New Medical Technologies in Human Reproduction on Childrens Personal Safety and Well-Being in the Family
By nature and law, parents are expected to be the guardians and protectors of their children. Yet, evidence is available that the majority of children at risk are victimized by those who should protect them: their closest family. Parenthood is a desired and valued task by individuals and soci- ety, and the new medical technologies in human reproduction assist individuals and couples to realize their wish for parenthood. Regret- fully, they also c…

Sex and Sociocultural Correlates of Urinary Incontinence in Israeli Preschool Children
Urinary incontinence in children aged 2 to 6 years whose mothers varied in ethnic descent, in level of education, and in immigration status was studied in Israel. Mothers of 302 children were interviewed in well-baby clinics regarding primary and secondary urinary incontinence of their children. A significant age trend was found for attaining primary urinary continence. However, various interactions between mothers' ethnic descent, mothers' level…
