Response to the Respondents
Seven distinguished respondents have critiqued the invited article titled “The NIMH Task Force on Social Work Research Report: Past Accomplishments and Current Challenges.” The article reviewed significant gains in social work research since publication of the Report in 1991 and, also, identified nine significant challenges that still must be addressed if social work research is to optimally meet the needs of practitioners. While the respondents …
The Nimh Task Force on Social Work Research Report
Following the publication of the groundbreaking report by the National Institute of Mental Health Task Force on Social Work Research in 1991, major gains have been made in building a potent infrastructure for social work research. Since then, however, progress has faltered in key areas and complex new challenges have emerged. These developments are examined and suggestions are set forth regarding how best to address the most serious challenges
Reinventing Social Work Accreditation”
Stoesz and Karger contend that the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) has promulgated accreditation mechanisms and processes that have failed to assure sufficient quality in social work education. Although certain of their conclusions are subject to challenge, their central propositions are credible and warrant serious consideration on the part of social work educators. Many of the systemic problems associated with CSWE accreditation also ap…
Children at Risk
Parental Mental Illness, Family Living Arrangements, and Child Behavior
The association between family living arrangements and children's behavior problems is examined in 306 children with mentally ill parents. Children living with alternative families (with adoptive or foster parents or with other relatives) display fewer behavior problems than children living with two biological parents, a single biological parent, or a biological and a stepparent. The proportion of mentally ill family members and the degree of mot…
A multivariate risk model for childhood behavior problems
In a study of 306 children whose parents have a mental illness, the relationship between coping skills and environmental assets and deficits determined the degree of behavior problems among these high-risk children. Two environmental stressors (proportion of mentally ill family members and mother-child discord), two coping skills (activity competence and school competence), and an interaction (between proportion of mentally ill family members and…

A Brief Measure of Children's Behavior Problems
This article reports the evaluation of the Behavior Rating Index for Children, a 13-item summated category partition scale that provides a prothetic measure of children's behavior problems
The St. Louis Conundrum
"Traditional" Community Agencies and the Prevention of Mental Illness
[This paper examines some of the unique problems encountered by developing nations and the impact of such problems on the provision of preventive mental health services for children and youths. Several prerequisites for effective program delivery are reviewed and synthesized in order to formulate the broad outlines of a potential prevention model for developing nations. A brief analysis of the GAIN (Group Activities for Individual Needs) Program …
Gastrointestinal illness on passenger cruise ships, 1975-1978
Following investigations in 1972-1973 of outbreaks of enteric disease on cruise ships using American ports, a surveillance system was established which required that 24 hours before arrival in port, each ship report the number of persons with diarrheal illness seen by the ship's physician during the cruise. The reported data were found to be reliable; they established a baseline incidence for diarrhea on cruise ships. A significantly high portion…

Social Work Experience and Client Behavioral Change
This study examines the effects of social work experience upon client behavioral change. A 2 x 3 x 3 factorial design was implemented in order to ascertain the interaction between two levels of social work experience (experienced, inexperienced), three methods of group treatment (social learning, traditional group work, minimal treatment), and three modes of treatment group composition (referred groups, nonreferred groups, mixed groups). Througho…
Inter-agency referrals and the establishment of a community-based treatment program
Based upon a treatment program involving the referral of more than 400 "antisocial" children to a community agency, common problems associated with inter-agency referral processes are discussed. The efficacy of selected inter-agency referral processes (computation, bargaining, judgment, and inspiration) are examined. Causes of misreferrals also are discussed. These include those generated separately by the host agency and by the donor agency and …
Integrating Antisocial Children into Prosocial Groups at Summer Camp
This manuscript reviews the results of a three-year project involving the integration of twenty-nine antisocial children, as defined by professionals using a variety of measures, into a summer camp primarily composed of prosocial children. Each year a selected number of children was integrated into prosocial groups. Behavioral measurements were derived for all three years and for both antisocial and prosocial children. These yielded mean proporti…
Client Costs and Early Discontinuance from a Community-Based Treatment Program
In social work circles client withdrawal from a treatment program commonly has been labeled as "discontinuance". Discontinuance rates have been inordinately high for both casework and group work endeavors, ranging in some instances to 59Z of all clients following the first interview (Aronson and Overall, 1966; Empey and Erickson, 1972; Goldstein, Heller, and Sechrest, 1966; Levinger, 1960; Overall and Aronson, 1963). Discontinuance represents an …

An Experimental Study of Conformity Behavior as a Small Group Phenomenon
Bureaucratic constraints and methodological adaptations in community‐based research
Social Work, Social Welfare, and the American Family
The following discussion proceeds from two basic premises: (1) that the family constitutes one of the most basic units of social structure in contemporary American society, and (2) that the social work profession represents a major, if not the primary, institutional mechanism for coping with the myriad of social problems encountered by American families. The former premise is readily substantiated in view of the observation that the vast majority…
Delinquency Theories, Group Composition, Treatment Locus, and a Service-Research Model for 'Traditional' Social Work Agencies
Rehabilitative endeavors within correctional institutions have failed because of overpopulation, high costs, labelling and stigmatization of inmates, low transferability of treatment changes to the outside community, and deviant peer group composition. Community treatment programs have fared little better because they also entail client stigmatization and typically are conducted within the context of deviant peer groups. Consequently, in order to…

Power Distribution, Integration, and Conformity in Small Groups
Utilizing data from 61 children's groups, this study examines interrelationships among peer power distribution, conformity behavior, and three modes of social integration discussed in early sociological writings, namely, interpersonal integration, functional integration, and normative integration. With requisite mathematical adjustments for interaction effects and for the effects of subjects' sex, age, camp, and group size, interpersonal integrat…

Interrelationships Among Three Bases of Group Integration
Phenomena such as group integration and group cohesiveness can be best studied through the examination their functional components, or bases. Three bases group integration are operationally defined: functional integration, interpersonal integration, and normative integration. Results from a study 61 children's groups indicate that functional integration and interpersonal integration manifest the highest positive correlation whereas normative inte…
