Child Abuse and Neglect
First Published in 1989, Child Abuse and Neglect attempts to focus on the problem of child maltreatment by using a multidisciplinary approach. It presents findings from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, education, sociology, and social work from a broad theoretical perspective. Both micro and macro approaches are stressed in the work, with particular emphasis on social factors related to child abuse and neglect, characteristics of adults and families likely to abuse and neglect and interesting strategies of treatment including family therapy. Professionals actively involved in research and theory building, as well as those who work directly with abused and neglected children will find this book a useful form of reference.
Women, Power, and Political Change
Contemporary women face barriers as they try to balance family and careers, choose the most promising education and employment options, and run for elected office. Women, Power, and Political Change analyzes the lives of sixteen American women who facilitated social and political changes in the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. These women were entrepreneurs--a small group advocating policies that imposed costs on some Americans but generated benefits for women. Using qualitative and quantitative data, Bonnie G. Mani describes the social and political context of the times when each of the women lived and worked. What she uncovers regarding the similarities and differences between these women demonstrates how women can influence public policy without holding elected office and without personal wealth. This is a must-read book for anyone interested in the evolution of women's political roles in American history.
Understanding Survivors of Abuse
This book presents the stories of maltreated homeless youth who have survived and developed a positive direction for their lives. Part I provides a framework for understanding and interpreting the in-depth portraits that follow. It presents the latest research on the patterns and dynamics of abuse and neglect, and explores their impact on adolescents, particularly runaway and homeless youth. The psychological effects discussed are depression, low self-esteem, loss of trust, anxiety, denial, problems with establishing intimacy, hopelessness about the future, and distortion of the concept of family. Behavioral effects discussed include sexual acting out, aggression, manipulation, a victimization mentality, suicide, and survivor guilt. One chapter details practical approaches for professionals to use when interviewing youths who may have been abused. In part II, the survivors discuss their lives, their family backgrounds, and their experiences on the street, and in the social service system. This book is useful for professionals in understanding troubled youth, and what they need to survive and develop a positive direction for their lives.
