Masculine and feminine orientations on emotions and alcohol use in response to romantic conflict
This research examines associations of gender role (i.e., masculine and feminine) orientations with drinking alcohol shortly after a recent significant romantic relationship conflict, and whether experiencing specific emotions in response to the conflict has indirect effects on gender role orientation effects on drinking. Participants included 410 American and Canadian adults (59% female) in committed romantic relationships who consumed alcohol r…

The Shifting Labour Process in Professional Care
Though the rationalisation of health care has been well documented, less is known about its impacts on mental health social workers. Drawing on qualitative data collected from 120 interviews and the qualitative comments on a Canadian four-province survey, the article explores the shifting labour process through profession-linked and organisational care strategies. The article argues that power is shifted from mental health social workers to manag…
Beyond medicalized approaches to violence and trauma
Social workers are positioned to respond to clients with a history of trauma by practicing bio-psycho-social, trauma, and violence-informed care but frequently encounter systemic barriers to providing holistic care. The research presented in this article was initiated by a College of Social Work in Canada in response to concerns raised by social work providers that their practice was constrained by ideological, structural, and system limitations …
Dismantling Addiction Services
The McDonaldization of Social Work
In this paper, we report on a provincial consultation in Canada, of the adoption of the CAPA model, which was designed to improve mental health service delivery to mental health stakeholders. While the delivery of mental health services in Canada is largely the purview of the medical profession, the implementation of an interdisciplinary team approach has included the social work profession as a significant part of that team, but the direction an…
Challenging the Constraints of Neoliberalism and Biomedicalism
This article explores the impact of neoliberalism and biomedicalism on social work mental health care practice through presenting the results of a Canadian provincial study which illustrates the experiences of social work service users, providers, and supervisors. While Canada has a universal health care program, the intensification of the free-market approach is evident in the shifts from public sector support to growing rationalization and mark…
Harm Reduction for Women in Treatment for Alcohol Use Problems
The objectives of this study were to profile the landscape of women’s alcohol use programs in Canada. We explored service users’ and providers’ beliefs about alcohol use problems and how this affected treatment choices for alcohol use problems. Data were collected through standardized measures alongside in-depth semi-structured narrative interviews in six women’s alcohol treatment sites in Canada. Findings demonstrated that service users and serv…
Critical Clinical Social Work and the Neoliberal Constraints on Social Justice in Mental Health
Despite a strong history of social justice–based social work professional education in Canada, there has not been an intentional integration of direct critical clinical mental health practice with social justice–based theory. Progressive social work has tended to view clinical work as focusing on the individual and failing to contribute to social change. In this article, I elaborate upon a critical clinical social work approach influenced by post…
Speaking of Women’s Depression and the Politics of Emotion
Women are at least twice as likely to experience depression as men, and up to 25% of women can expect to be depressed in their lifetimes. Depression is likely to recur in up to 85% of women, yet most women who experience depression cope on their own. Feminist research has explored the discursive, and social context of depression among women and acknowledges women’s agency as they simultaneously struggle and cope with depression. “Getting on with …
Why Do Women with Alcohol Problems Binge Eat
Questionnaires assessing heavy drinking and binge eating were administered to 58 women with alcohol problems. A sub-sample of the binge-eaters then participated in qualitative interviews about their perceptions of the connections between their two problems. Seventy-one percent self-identified as binge-eaters with most reporting 'severe' binge eating. Binge-eaters were younger, more frequent drinkers and drank more often for emotional relief than …
