Social Work with Lesbian Parent Families: Ecological Perspectives
by Lucy R. Mercier Rena D. HaroldThe traditional concept of family as being exclusively heterosexual has resulted in myth-generation about lesbian parents as well as fostering limitations in the programs and benefits that support more diverse nontraditional families. Social Work with Lesbian Parent Families: Ecological Perspectives explores the variety of social systems with which lesbian parent families interact, with a focus on implications for improved, diversity-affirming service delivery and policy development. Unlike other literature on lesbian parent families, this revealing resource pulls together work on lesbian parenting from various researchers across a broad range of disciplines and presents this work from the ecosystems perspective so that the reader may view the experiences of lesbian parent families in a holistic way. The research goes beyond simple comparisons between lesbian and straight mothers. This useful text provides more complex research data, including both a more sophisticated view of the diverse communities in which lesbian parents are found, and more innovative ways of studying the issues relevant to social service providers. Developmental and life issues negotiated by lesbian parent families are discussed in detail using a strengths-based approach to intervention with individuals, families, small groups, communities, and larger systems. This unique book has the strong potential to influence the policies that impact lesbian parent families.Social Work with Lesbian Parent Families: Ecological Perspectives is a valuable resource for social workers, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, marriage and family therapists, public policy and administration professionals, students, and academics doing research on sexual orientation and family.This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Gay & Lesbian Social Services.
Social Work With Multi-Family Groups
by D Rosemary CassanoHere is a remarkable new volume for understanding the interrelatedness of the primary family group and the formed therapeutic group. Multiple family therapy is a special type of group practice that involves the members of several families meeting together with a professional to work on common family concerns. Rosemary Cassano, acclaimed for her qualitative research on multiple family group therapy, has produced an exciting volume that reflects the diversity of client populations and patterns and processes in these groups. Social Work With Multi-Family Groups reveals to the professional what actually goes on in the process of group interactions and practitioner interventions. In this state-of-the-art volume, social workers set forth a specific and careful definition of multiple family practice and examine the successful use of multi-family groups with families with child-labeled problems, institutionalized elderly suffering from physical and cognitive impairments and their family members, patients with life-threatening illness and their families, and several other support groups. Each of the practical examples illustrates how professionals can design helping systems for their clients that combine both professional and peer help and activate the help that is embedded in each client’s own family.

Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy
by Carmen Knudson-Martin Melissa A. Wells Sarah K. SammanThis path-breaking volume introduces Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy for clinical work with troubled couples. Practice-focused and engaging, it integrates real-world knowledge of the intersections of gender, culture, power, and identity in relationships with empirical findings on the neurobiology of attraction. Case examples detail the process of therapists in the moment as they develop both their clinical skills and their understanding of the social contexts fueling couples' difficulties. Applications of the method, which can be used with same-sex couples as well as heterosexual ones, are shown in addressing infidelity, tapping into partners' spirituality, and modeling and encouraging mutual respect and support. Among the topics covered: Undoing gendered power in heterosexual couple relationships. Interpersonal neurobiology, couples, and the societal context. How gender discourses hijack couple therapy--and how it can be avoided. How SERT therapists develop interventions that address the larger context. Building a circle of care in same-sex couple relationships. Couple therapy with adult survivors of child abuse: gender, power, and trust. Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy opens out practical new possibilities for marriage and family therapists, clinical psychologists, social workers, and counselors seeking ideas for more meaningful couples work.
The Socio-Emotional Relationship Workbook for Couples: Closing the Gap Between the Relationship You Want and the Relationship You Have
by Carmen Knudson-MartinThis supportive and empowering guide helps readers identify and build on their relational values, which the dominant culture tends to minimize, inhibit, or disparage.Written in an engaging, easy to read and use format, this workbook offers clear case examples and activities that readers can apply to their own relationships. The introductory chapter describes the problem––how unrecognized power imbalances in who notices, accommodates, and attends to one another make attaining satisfying, mutually supportive intimate relationships difficult. Chapters 2-5 introduce practices that help readers recognize the connections between their social worlds and how they engage in their relationships, with exercises that facilitate this personal awareness and enable them to share these experiences with their partners. Chapters 6-10 guide readers through assessing reciprocity in their relationships and exercises to apply each of the four components of the Circle of Care (mutual vulnerability, attunement, influence, and relational responsibility) and strategies for maintaining commitment to their relational goals over the long term. In each chapter, exercises are structured to first teach personal socio-emotional awareness, followed by relational practices that facilitate engagement based on mutual attunement and shared commitment rather than debate.This book views emotion and meaning as the link between individuals and the larger society and helps readers develop awareness of their social contexts and societal power processes that work against relationships.

Sociologising Child and Youth Resilience with Bourdieu: An Australian Perspective
by Guanglun Michael MuIn this book, Mu crafts a sociology of resilience through his multi-year research with Australian students. The content is not merely concerned with individual achievements in precarious conditions but also ponders over transformative, reflexive, and power-rejective everyday practices that make social change possible, probable, and even inevitable. Since Emmy Werner and her colleagues discovered the "self-righting" and "invincible" children on the Hawaiian island of Kauai who fared well despite exposure to significant household risks, positive psychology has markedly advanced the knowledge about child and youth resilience to adversities. Yet, many children and adolescents continue to slide through system cracks. This fact does not invalidate psychology of resilience; rather, it urges new frameworks to break the reproductive circle of inequality. Reframing the traditional psychological notion of resilience through recourse to Bourdieu’s relational and reflexive sociology, the book moves beyond individual adaptation to adverse conditions and takes a deep dive into sociological resilience to structural problems. It offers school professionals and educational researchers an epistemological tool to reapproach resilience and reappropriate Bourdieu for social change. Offering scholarship that will interest researchers in the areas of child and youth resilience, sociology of resilience, and sociology of education, the volume is written to engage with the intellectual work of both established scholars and emerging researchers within Australia and beyond. The empirical analyses also provide useful insights for educational professionals in schools and resilience researchers in universities.

Sofía o el origen de todas las historias
by Rafik SchamiSingular mezcla de la vivacidad de los cuentos orientales con el rigor formal de la prosa europea, Rafik Schami nos ofrece un oportuno recordatorio de que el entendimiento y la reconciliación entre todos los seres humanos es un sueño realizable. Que la vida es un constante alejarse y regresar a aquellos años tempranos en los que la conciencia es incapaz de abarcar toda la complejidad del mundo lo corrobora la rica trayectoria literaria del escritor alemán de origen sirio Rafik Schami. Nacido en Damasco y exiliado desde hace más de cuarenta años en Alemania, donde se ha granjeado una enorme legión de fieles lectores, Schami ha sabido utilizar como pocos la fuerza evocadora de los recuerdos para plasmar con maestría los ásperos contornos del presente. Como ya hizo en El lado oscuro del amor y El secreto del calígrafo, Schami dibuja un colorido retrato de la convivencia de judíos, cristianos y musulmanes por las calles del Damasco de su juventud, recreando escenas, olores y sabores de una ciudad viva y radiante, en la que la legendaria hospitalidad del pueblo sirio contrastaba con la ciega brutalidad del sistema, que ya exhibía sus mortíferas garras. Instalado en Roma, casado con una farmacóloga italiana y padre de un niño, Salman, álter ego de Schami, regresa a su país empujado por la añoranza. Pero el emocionante reencuentro con la familia y los amigos, y los paseos por los barrios de su infancia, por los zocos y los cafés de su juventud, enmascaran una realidad amenazante. Los acontecimientos se precipitarán y el azaroso encuentro de Salman con el septuagenario Karim, antiguo gran amor de Sofía, su madre, le dejará una lección inolvidable para el resto de sus días. La crítica ha dicho...«Las aventuras de Salman en sus diversos escondites componen una magnífica obra de espionaje político que representa una profunda visión de la sociedad siria y de las causas de la sangrienta carnicería que devasta hoy el país.»Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung «Rafik Schami, quien no sólo cuenta historias que parecen sacadas de Las mil y una noches sino también sobre clanes patriarcales, intrigantes servicios secretos y familias desgarradas, es como una Sherezade en el exilio.»Zeit Online «En Sofía o El origen de todas las historias, Rafik Schami habla de la añoranza que siente un expatriado por su país natal y revela con ello los paralelismos con su propia vida.»Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger «Un libro sobre las mujeres, sobre la fuerza de los sentimientos, sobre el amor en la vejez. [...] Reúne todas las cualidades de un buen relato: amor, drama, tensión, poesía, tragedia...»Deutschlandradio Kultur «Rafik Schami es uno de los autores en lengua alemana de mayor éxito en la actualidad.»Deutschlandfunk
