Invisible Jews : Does Internalized Anti-Semitism Play A Role In Unaddressed Jewish Poverty In America?, Lilith Gabrielle Wolinsky
Invisible Jews : Does Internalized Anti-Semitism Play A Role In Unaddressed Jewish Poverty In America?, Lilith Gabrielle Wolinsky
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This theoretical study looks at unexamined Jewish poverty in contemporary America through the two lenses of internalized anti-Semitism/internalized oppression/self-hate, and internalized superiority/Jewish exceptionalism/ethnocentrism with the intention of determining whether or not the constructs represented by these composite lenses have any bearing on the continued existence of Jewish poverty in the United States. Study results indicate that while the relationship between Jewish poverty and internalized Jewish oppression is not causal, unexamined internalized anti-Semitism may be a factor which prevents Jews from acknowledging and addressing this ill within their midst and as such, which perpetuates Jewish poverty. Study results also indicate that …
Experience Of Undocumented Immigrant Children In The Child Welfare System, Brenda M. Flores
Experience Of Undocumented Immigrant Children In The Child Welfare System, Brenda M. Flores
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
As the number of undocumented immigrants entering the U.S. continues to increase, the number of undocumented children and families who come into contact with the child welfare system is also increasing. Currently, there are no federal or state guidelines addressing the immigration status of undocumented children placed in out-of-home care. They are assessed using traditional models without consideration of their unique needs and are referred for the same general types of treatment and services. It is important to identify and address the needs and challenges faced by this population. The goal of the study was to obtain a detailed understanding …
Acculturative Stress, Coping, And Approaches To Working With Refugee Immigrants In The United States, Adiel Uzabakiriho
Acculturative Stress, Coping, And Approaches To Working With Refugee Immigrants In The United States, Adiel Uzabakiriho
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Every year, due to environmental, political or social reasons, a large number of people worldwide are forced to leave their homes and many become refugees. Based on the U.S. Refugee Act of 1980, the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 protocol, some of those who fall into the legal definition of refugees get the chance to be resettled in the United States. During the course of migration, refugees encounter various experiences which contribute to adjustment outcomes in the United States. One of the significant factors involves acculturation and related stress identified as acculturative stress. This exploratory study identified and examined …
The Grief Experience Of Caregivers When The Child Has A Life Threatening Illness, Avigail Ward
The Grief Experience Of Caregivers When The Child Has A Life Threatening Illness, Avigail Ward
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Using a mixed method approach, this study explored the impact of attachment styles on the grief experience of parents and guardians of a child who has a hematological or oncological illness. The grief experience was evaluated through the lenses of Chronic Sorrow, Ambiguous Loss and Anticipatory Grief. This study was conducted at the Loma Linda University Medical Center Hematology Oncology Pediatric Clinic and was completed by 106 participants who responded to a quantitative survey with open-ended questions. An open-ended questionnaire regarding the impact of the child’s illness on the couple relationship was completed by six couples. The results indicated that …
Integrating The Development Of Children And Gestalt Therapy, Jennifer J. Thompson
Integrating The Development Of Children And Gestalt Therapy, Jennifer J. Thompson
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
There are many theories that have contributed to what we know about the development of children; for instance, theoretical diversity supports the complexities of human nature. A child's developmental level will impact his ability to relate. Gestalt theory supports the child's phenomenological view by focusing on the here-and-now of what is happening in the therapeutic environment. Most of what a child will do is in response to a need or want. The child will work toward fulfilling that need. The child may develop maladaptive ways to fulfill his needs based on the environment in which he lives. Gestalt play therapy …
Intermediality, Rhetoric, And Pedagogy, Kris Rutten, Ronald Soetaert
Intermediality, Rhetoric, And Pedagogy, Kris Rutten, Ronald Soetaert
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their article "Intermediality, Rhetoric, and Pedagogy," Kris Rutten and Ronald Soetaert discuss how the notion of intermediality challenges the institutions that traditionally "mediate" culture and they discuss implications for pedagogy. First, they focus on how the museum as an institution is questioned and problematized by describing it as a "medium" that is increasingly influenced by cultural and technological developments. Second, they focus on the implications of new material culture and intermedial practice and how this requires new perspectives on pedagogy. Rutten and Soetaert elaborate on previous work on the curriculum as a "contact zone" (Pratt) by focusing on the …
Video Games As Equipment For Living, Ronald Soetaert, Jeroen Bourgonjon, Kris Rutten
Video Games As Equipment For Living, Ronald Soetaert, Jeroen Bourgonjon, Kris Rutten
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their article "Video Games as Equipment for Living" Ronald Soetaert, Jeroen Bourgonjon, and Kris Rutten postulate that with the emergence of new media there is need of a re-evaluation of all modes of communication and the ways in which literacy is conceptualized. Drawing on the concept of multi-literacy they suggest a rhetorical/ anthropological meta-perspective to describe human beings as symbol using animals and focus on particular symbol systems: narrative, drama, and video games. Specifically, they focus on the perspective of drama as a tool to analyze cultural artifacts in general and video games — as a new art form …
Grandparenting In Chinese Immigrant Families, Xiaolin Xie, Yan Xia
Grandparenting In Chinese Immigrant Families, Xiaolin Xie, Yan Xia
Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies: Faculty Publications
In light of the life course perspective, this semistructured interview study with 29 grandparents involved in the caregiving of their grandchildren in Chinese immigrant families revealed three major themes: intergenerational connectedness and continuity of cultural practices, role varieties and responsibilities, and adjustment and adaptation. Despite immigration, Chinese grandparents continued the tradition of providing care to grandchildren. Although the grandparent role entailed responsibilities and there were adjustments to make when living in the new place, overall, grandparents considered their caregiving experiences positive. Support to these grandparents, however, was needed at both family and community levels to ensure their stay in the …
Ngo Outreach To Priority Refugee Population Demographics In Cairo, Joelle Petrus
Ngo Outreach To Priority Refugee Population Demographics In Cairo, Joelle Petrus
Theses and Dissertations
Cairo is considered to have among the highest populations of refugees in an urban setting in the world. This urban setting presents a unique set of challenges particularly when delivering services and programs to a population with heightened vulnerability who are not easy to locate within the greater population of Cairo. In this context it is of great utility to strengthen outreach programs whose aim is to strengthen the connection between service receiver (refugees) and the service provider (the organization.) Another challenge to delivering services and programs to refugees is the greater diversity or heterogeneity of the population itself. However, …
An Exploration Of The Relationships Between Young Adult Women And Their Sisters With Intellectual Disabilities, Katharine Ruth Wilson
An Exploration Of The Relationships Between Young Adult Women And Their Sisters With Intellectual Disabilities, Katharine Ruth Wilson
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This qualitative study explored the nature of the relationships between young adult women and their sisters with intellectual disabilities. This study sought to contribute to the growing body of literature on siblings of people with intellectual disabilities by addressing the dearth of research on sisters in young adulthood, and their experience of the sibling relationship. The narratives of twelve young adult sisters of women with intellectual disabilities were gathered through open-ended interviews. Research questions explored such topics as the level of contact participants had with their sisters, how their relationships had changed in adulthood, and the most fulfilling and challenging …
The Commonalities Of Creativity And Suicide In College Students, Christopher W. Drapeau, Daniel Debrule
The Commonalities Of Creativity And Suicide In College Students, Christopher W. Drapeau, Daniel Debrule
Modern Psychological Studies
More than 1,000 college students die by suicide each year. Commonly found among these suicides are students who are highly creative, mentally ill, and attending highly competitive schools. Research has demonstrated that the risk of suicide is most acute in students displaying hypomania, impulsivity, psychosis, and a personality trait called psychoticism. Interestingly, these four risk factors are also exhibited in highly creative college students. Hypomania was the most significant contributor to creativity and suicide among the four variables. Elevations in hypomanic symptoms were found among the most creative students and those at risk for repeated suicide attempts. A self-report questionnaire …
The Anthropology And Sociology Of Proponent And Opponent Worldviews In Central Arkansas Regarding Same-Sex Issues And Constitutionally Protected Rights: An Interdisciplinary Perspective, Rohn Muse
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis autoethnographically examines divergent worldviews, specifically with respect to the contentious issues of same-sex marriage and adoption/foster-parenting of children by unmarried cohabitating couples in Arkansas. Moral panics and moral politics are central to current debates about each. This thesis integrates and synthesizes interdisciplinary perspectives and insights while deconstructing and unpacking dissimilar beliefs and behaviors found in this Bible-belt state. Selected GLBTQQ/SGL narratives, interwoven with my story, compare left-leaning liberalism with ultraconservative cognitive framing utilized to oppose gay rights. Vicious targeting of gays prevails in absolute opposition to gay issues when strictly based in faith and resolute religious dogma. Humanism …

Addressing Work-Related Traumatic Stress Nebraska - Resilience Alliance Participant Handbook, Asc-Nyu Children's Trauma Institute
Other QIC-WD Products
Child welfare staff are first responders; just like police officer and fire fighters, they are asked to respond to emergency situations with very little information, and by doing so often put themselves at risk. In addition to the very real physical risks involved with responding to a report of suspected child abuse or neglect, there are equally real psychological risks involved with taking care of children and families that have experienced abuse, neglect, family and community violence, and other traumas. Unlike police officers and fire fighters, however, child welfare staff get very little public recognition for the hard work they …

Net Worth Accumulation By Different Quintiles Of Older Adults Approaching Retirement Age And 10 Years Later, Martha N. Ozawa, Yeong H. Yeo
Net Worth Accumulation By Different Quintiles Of Older Adults Approaching Retirement Age And 10 Years Later, Martha N. Ozawa, Yeong H. Yeo
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The shift in responsibility for income security from the government to individuals makes the accumulation of net worth a vital issue. We investigated the rate of net worth accumulation for people aged 51 to 61 in 1991 (N=7,544) and 61 to 71 in 2001 (N=5,711) using the RAND Health and Retirement Study. We found that the rate of net worth accumulation by the fifth (top) quintile was extremely high in 1991, and the distribution of net worth became more skewed in favor of the wealthy in 2001. Older adults in the first and second quintiles are unable to face the …
Foster Care Workers' Emotional Responses To Their Work, Alissa Schwartz
Foster Care Workers' Emotional Responses To Their Work, Alissa Schwartz
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The field of child welfare struggles with high rates of job turnover. This study describes the contributors to and experiences of foster care workers' emotional responses to their work. Uniquely drawing from the field of Positive Psychology, it describes and conceptualizes the relationships of multi-level contributors to foster care workers' emotional reactions at work. In-depth interviews conducted with 25 foster care workers found that negative emotions were more prominently featured than positive, but that working in an agency with positive workplace characteristics mitigated this relationship. Theoretical implications and limitations of taking a Positive Psychology approach to the study are discussed.
Social Work And Conditional Cash Transfers In Latin America., Cindy Calvo
Social Work And Conditional Cash Transfers In Latin America., Cindy Calvo
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are a recent anti-poverty strategy in Latin America. CCT programs provide cash benefits to finance basic needs and foster investment in human capital to extremely poor households. These benefits are conditioned on certain behaviors, usually related to investments in nutrition, health, and education. In the literature, there is a recognizable lack of analyses from social science disciplines related to CCT program implications. This paper contributes in this arena by analyzing the particular role of social work in CCT anti-poverty programs. The educational element of these programs and its theoretical foundation based on the human capital …
Anything Goes? Science And Social Constructions In Competing Discourses, Philip Dybicz
Anything Goes? Science And Social Constructions In Competing Discourses, Philip Dybicz
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper examines, then disproves, the claim that social work practices based upon postmodern thought are either anti-science, or at the very least, weak on their respect for and application of scientific knowledge. Postmodern thought does attack the epistemological theory of positivism as well as the correspondence theory of truth. Hence, postmodern social work practices do seek to displace the role that scientific knowledge plays in guiding the helping situation. Rather than diagnosing causes and effects in a problem-solving endeavor, science is used to circumscribe the boundaries within which a postmodern endeavor at consciousness- raising takes place. Describing this new …

A Definition Of Gender Role Conflict Among Black Professional Fathers, Ora Robinson
A Definition Of Gender Role Conflict Among Black Professional Fathers, Ora Robinson
The Qualitative Report
There is very little literature that depicts the parental role of Black professional fathers positively or that samples Black participants from the upper economic strata. The purpose of this study is to gain insight into how Black professional fathers experience or perceive gender role conflict and identify clinical implications. Grounded in phenomenological methodology and gender role conflict theory, the framework is based on gender role devaluations, gender role restrictions, and gender role violations (O'Neil, Good, & Holmes, 1995). The emerging experiences found in this project were (a) a conflict between the Black and White races and (b) conflict with parental …

New Science
Faith Pratt Hopp, Ph.D., M.S.W., assistant professor of social work in Wayne State University's School of Social Work, recognizes that advanced chronic diseases such as heart failure and diabetes have as many psychological implications as they do medical. Hopp conducts qualitative and quantitative research to understand the experience of those with advanced chronic illness, as well as their caregivers, with the purpose of identifying coping strategies and developing interventions. Her most recent studies were funded by a $100,000 grant from the John A. Hartford Geriatric Social Work Faculty Scholars Program. The research was done in the context of the social …
