Commons: Can This Be The Name Of ‘Thirdness’? (Revised), Roger A. Lohmann
Commons: Can This Be The Name Of ‘Thirdness’? (Revised), Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
In 1995, a journal article asked if 'commons' might be the name of 'thirdness'. In this revision of that article the question is renewed and reintroduced. The concept of the commons and common goods still offer satisfactory ways to label and characterize voluntary action outside markets, states and households. Theory is said to be a problem of language. Language creativity, including the coining of various new terms is a characteristic part of the commons theory of voluntary action. The remaining challenge is how the concept of the commons can relate to the other side of the third sector - the …
The Commons And The New Age Of Laissez Faire, Roger A. Lohmann
The Commons And The New Age Of Laissez Faire, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
The one thing new laissez faire rhetoric seldom does is find any
place for broader visions of civil society, and in particular,
nonprofit organizations, voluntary action, or philanthropy which
have been such important parts of the American past.
Laissez faire visions of the future being promoted today
are dangerously limited in at least one important respect: They
omit any reference to nonprofit organizations, voluntary action or
philanthropy (along with sustaining reference groups like family
and support and friendship groups) as operative parts of the
future. Instead, they offer an altogether familiar bi-polar social
universe from the past composed of “the …
Peace, Or The Problem-Free Interval, Roger A. Lohmann
Peace, Or The Problem-Free Interval, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This paper argues for wider recognition of general program indicators as evaluative criteria and sets forth four general dimensions of outcome measures that might serve as comparative evaluative indicators for a wide range of programs and services. Pragmatic problem-solving is outlined as a theoretical basis for an approach to such general indicators. The argument for general program indicators of problem presence, frequency, duration and severity is grounded in general problem-solving theory and is part of an evaluative study of a mental health crisis unit. Peace, defined as a problem-free interval, is offered as an example of a general program outcome …
Public Affairs, Community Service And Personal Care: The Three Faces Of Social Work, Roger A. Lohmann
Public Affairs, Community Service And Personal Care: The Three Faces Of Social Work, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This paper was written for a faculty seminar at the School of Social Work, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where at the time the author was an Assistant Professor. It makes the case that contemporary social work at the time was an uneasy mix of three very different approaches: A public affairs perspective addressing broad social policy issues; a community services perspective extending to agency management, planning and financing; and a personal care perspective built on psychotherapy, social casework and group work. At the time, many schools of social work were struggling with a legacy of strong support for the personal …
Input-Output Analysis And Social Planning, Roger A. Lohmann
Input-Output Analysis And Social Planning, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This article is a proposal for an adaptation of Leontief input-output analysis in economics to uses in community-level social planning. It was made in the later years of the Great Society period, when a relatively large number of federal social grant programs in aging, children's services, disability services, housing, and other health and human service fields mandated social planning and a national system of multi-jurisdictional social planning agencies was emerging.
Medicare, Medicaid And The Geriatric Residential Environment, Nancy Lohmann, Roger A. Lohmann
Medicare, Medicaid And The Geriatric Residential Environment, Nancy Lohmann, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This article reports on a study of interstate differences in the availability of nursing home beds, personal care home slots and public housing, and attempts to assess the impact of the adoption of Medicare and Medicaid six years before on the availability of these components of what was termed the "geriatric residential environments continuum" or GRE. The underlying idea is that components of long-term health care, personal care and housing/shelter are three common elements of a wide variety of public policy for the aged.
