advancesinsocialwork: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called advancesinsocialwork.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Students; Education; Practice; Health; Workers; Social; Community; Participants; Learning; People; Care; Services; Faculty; Children; Women; Family; Service; School; Theory; Child; Support; Violence; Trauma; Policy; Field; Use; Profession; Experiences; Families; Justice; Self; Development; Clients; Technology; Data; Experience; Stress; Treatment; Change; State; Rights; Spring2005; Public; Issues; Life; Client; Analysis; Advances; Team; U.s; Socialwork; Relationship; Spring2000; Spring2001; Spring2006; Fall2005; Empathy; Cutting

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Achieving HBSE Competencies through Service-learning by Twill, Sarah E.; Elpers, Kathy; Lay, Kathy (2011) - In summary, social work students, through service-learning, are provided with “active, relevant, and collaborative learning…” (Bringle & Hatcher, 2000, p. 274.) in a agency or community context. The social work students interact with each assigned K-8 student for 30 minutes each week over the course of seven weeks; at the end of seven weeks, social work students have interacted with each student for a minimum of 3.5 hours.

• The 2001 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards: The Value of Research Revisited by Cournoyer, Barry R.; Adamek, Margaret E. (2001) - Social work programs without a substantial number of doctoral- level faculty who have an active research agenda that yields external funding and contributes to a national reputation, are simply less valued on many university campuses. Althoughwe notice the expec- tation that programs promote “continual professional development of students, faculty, and practitioners” (CSWE, 2001a, p. 6), we would prefer an emphasis upon students’ development of knowledge, attitudes, and skills associated with lifelong learning and continuous professional development while they are enrolled in social work programs.

• Social Workers as Civic-Minded Professionals by Twill, Sarah E.; Lowe, Laura A. (2014) - Twill, Lowe/SOCIAL WORKERS AS CIVIC-MINDED PROFESSIONALS 281 Finally, the attitudes of graduating social work students may set the tone for the future of the profession.

• Interdisciplinary Service-Learning: Building Student Competencies through the Cross-Cultural Parent Groups Project by Belliveau, Michele (2011) - As one response to this changing context and in an effort to increase student awareness of the social, economic, political, and psychological issues facing the local Latino community, a service-learning project that matched social work students with Spanish language students was conceived; together students facilitated groups on the topic of adolescent depression for the parents of Latino middle schoolers in the community, a need identified by the community itself. Of equal importance in the context of competency-based education for work with client systems of all sizes, service-learning has been effective in the teaching of group practice skills to social work students (Bye, 2005).

• The Effectiveness of Writing Across the Curriculum in a Baccalaureate Social Work Program: Students’ Perceptions by Luna, Naelys; Horton, E. Gail; Galin, Jeffrey R. (2014) - Students’ Perceptions Naelys Luna E. Gail Horton Jeffrey R. Galin Abstract: Effective social work practice requires strong writing and communication skills; however, social work students often experience difficulties performing academically at expected levels. Writing Across the Curriculum Since researchers and educators agree that social work students entering the field must be able to express their professional opinions and judgments in writing (Alter & Adkins, 2006; Knight, 1997; Rompf, 1995; Simon & Soven, 1990), it is important to examine pedagogical techniques that can ensure that students’ writing skills are adequate for the work that they will be doing in the field.

• Using a Standardized Patient Model for Interprofessional Team Training in Social Work by Hitchcock, Laurel Iverson; Shorten, Allison; Bosworth, Peter; Galin, Shawn; Edmonds, Tara; Harada, Caroline (2020) - We will share how a large-scale training that requires interprofessional teams of students to create a treatment plan of care for a standardized patient developed over time and how this experiential learning activity affects learning outcomes for social work students related to interprofessional awareness and teamwork skills. Further, current leaders in social work education have been calling for more emphasis on practical and meaningful educational experiences where social work students are at the same table as students from other professions, learning about other professions’ roles as well as effective collaborative processes (Jones & Phillips, 2016; Keywords: care; education; group; health; interprofessional; learning; model; patient; professions; students; team; teamwork; training; work; work students

• Using a Transdiagnostic Perspective to Disrupt White Supremacist Applications of the DSM by Riquino, Michael R.; Nguyen, Van L.; Reese, Sarah E.; Molloy, Jen (2021) - Teaching social work students from a transdiagnostic perspective may disrupt White Supremacist practices in diagnostics by encouraging them to acknowledge multisystem factors underlying human suffering without relying on discrete diagnostic categories that are prone to racial interpretations. However, as noted earlier, we also recognize the DSM’s dominance in the mental health field and the need for social work students to be intimately familiar with the DSM’s classification system in order to effectively operate in the field and disrupt its White Supremacist applications.

With the CCM, service learning has involved traditional tenets of community service combined with education (e.g., Krout & Pogorzala, 2002; Keywords: activities; ccm; community; faculty; health; learning; living; needs; program; research; residents; service; space; staff; students; university; work
• advancesinsocialwork-24064 by None (None) - Statistics on social work education in the United States: Summary of the CSWE annual survey of social work programs. The profession of social work and social work education have historically held a certain discomfort towards the academy, remaining wary of the elitism and inequality built into the system and a nervousness about being co-opted, yet also struggling for professional acceptance (Healy, 2008; Olson, 2008).

• Wrestling the Elephant: Teaching as a Racialized Body in the Social Work Classroom by Mak, Carolyn; Mucina, Mandeep Kaur; Ferguson, Renée Nichole (2021) - What hooks offered was a shift in conversation, where white supremacy was not simply a far-right ideology that was reserved for Klan and Nazi activity, but part of unnamed culturally normative practices and relationships that racialize and negatively impact Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC); while for white people, white supremacy is upheld in individual attitudes and structural inequalities. Concerns over race-based conflict and discomfort, and white performativity, still affect my teaching today; I often worry about offending white students when attempting to confront whiteness, and also simultaneously fear not doing my racialized students justice when not centering needed conversations on race, ethnicity, culture, power and privilege.

• Dismantling Privilege and White Supremacy in Social Work Education by King-Jordan, Taniko; Gil, Karina (2021) - Thus, in future research, it would be beneficial to seek the perspectives of male BIPOC members of academia, as well as expand the sample by including social work faculty (and faculty specializing in other disciplines) from a variety of academic institutions across the country. If such steps are not taken, the contributions of BIPOC social work faculty will continue to be measured against different standards compared to their White peers and their place in the realm of academia will continue to be questioned by students and faculty alike (Bernal & Villalpando, 2002; Fields, 2007; Holosko et al., 2017; Jayakumar et al., 2009).

• “Not the Time For Kumbaya”: An Exploratory Study of Race-Based Caucusing in the Social Work Classroom by Fulambarker Buehler, Anjali; Rogerson, Christine; Gushwa, Melinda (2021) - As instructors, we provide our own experiences with caucusing and, based upon our analysis of the focus group data, conclude that this strategy yielded different results for BIPOC and White students and offer some suggestions to aid other instructors considering implementation. Finally, the teaching of concepts related to racism can demonstrate an assumption that all students come from a place of racial privilege, such as the need of white students to “check their privilege” and erase or make invisible the experiences of students that identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).

(2021) - Following campus incidents that received national attention, minority social work students urged faculty to organize action to voice values of equity and justice, and to provide an intentional safe space within our school. As the students started to learn more about the process of engaging in undoing racism work, the students, faculty, and staff, decided they needed more information and wanted more engagement that was practical; subsequently, the Undoing Racism Committee was born.

• How Racism Against BIPOC Women Faculty Operates in Social Work Academia by Azhar, Sameena; McCutcheon, Kendra P. DeLoach (2021) - Drawing from Crenshaw (1991) and Collins’ (2012) theoretical framework on intersectionality, we analyze how positionalities of race, class, and gender shape multiple dimensions of lived experience for BIPOC women who are social work faculty in the U.S. We draw from one of the central tenets of critical race theory (CRT), which argues that racism is an everyday American experience (Razack & Jeffery, 2002). Appreciate That the Pursuit of Social Justice Is the Hallmark of Our Profession Ultimately, as social work faculty members, we are deeply committed to the pursuit of social justice, which we define here to be equity and fairness in the distribution of social resources (Fouad et al., 2006).

• Uprooting (Our) Whiteness by Frey, William; Mann, Noelia; Boling, Alex; Jordan, Parker; Lowe, Karma; Witte, Susan (2021) - Drawing on the work of Yancy, we (group co-facilitators; our dean of diversity, equity, and inclusion; and three MSW student participants) describe the creation, organization, facilitation, and experiences of the first year of the Space for Uprooting Whiteness—a biweekly space where White social work students examine and uproot their relationship to White supremacy and domination. Of equal concern, White social work students graduate every year without critically understanding their role in (re)producing systems of Whiteness, racism, and how they cause harm through their everyday actions and behaviors as social workers and throughout their lives (Frey, 2018).

• Decentering Whiteness in Social Work Curriculum: An Autoethnographic Reflection on a Racial Justice Practice Course by Odera, Stephanie; Wagaman, M. Alex ; Staton, Ashley ; Kemmerer, Aaron (2021) - Researchers also found that while addressing the systemic nature of race, racism and racial-consciousness, social work students struggle with the emotional nature of internal work to unlearn racist beliefs and patterns (Brigham, 1977; Campbell, 2017; Constance-Huggins, 2012; Einbinder, 2020; Nixon & McDermott, 2010; Compared to other professional training programs, the ethical stakes are arguably higher for social work students who adhere to a professional code of ethics and often serve marginalized populations.

• The Stories We Tell: Examining the Persistence and Impacts of Normative-Whiteness and White Supremacy Within Social Work Education by Bryant, Danté; Kolivoski, Karen M. (2021) - When initially asked how she reconciles the professional persistence of normative- Whiteness with social work’s professed ethical obligations, Dr. Townson stated, “… I don’t… there’s Black social work and there’s White social work, I leave it at that… we don’t do the same things...”. In an attempt to support these efforts, this investigation uses a convergent mixed-method approach to explore how social work faculty and administrators perceive and experience the roles and impacts of normative-whiteness and White supremacy within the profession (Rubin & Babbie, 2016).

• An Experiential Model for Cultivating Cultural Humility and Embodying Antiracist Action in and Outside the Social Work Classroom by Fisher, Kerri (2021) - Many social work educators have articulated the need for intersectionality in any cultural competence instruction (Robinson et al., 2016; Ross, 2010). Many students have had limited academic encounters with the offerings of non- white scholars, artists, and citizens, a phenomenon known as invisibility (Pharr, 1988) or erasure.

• ‘The Mirage of Action’: Exploring the Social Work Professions’ Perpetuation of White Supremacy Through ‘Well-Intentioned’ Actions by Aguilar, Jemel P.; Counselman-Carpenter, Elisabeth (2021) - We choose to highlight white supremacy among heterocentric white women social workers because the profession was founded by heterocentric white women - the “friendly visitors” - and women and white people dominate the profession (Center for Health Workforce Studies, 2006; Chapman & Withers, 2019; Trattner, 1999). Unplanned, we needed a research method that allows us to explore the untouchable subject of heterocentric white female social workers and deliberate in that we could use our experiences to break ground and establish white supremacy among heterocentric white female social workers that espouse anti-racist values as an area of study.

• The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Lessons Learned Dismantling White Supremacy in a School of Social Work by Calvo, Rocío; Bradley , Samuel (2021) - These inherited ideas around social work practice and social work education reflect the white supremacist cultures that oversaw the development, professionalization and mainstream acceptance of social work as a form of social control. Departing from a White-supremacists approach to social work education in which the lived experiences of minoritized communities are poorly understood – most often through a culturally competent framework (Almeida et al., 2019) – the LLI proposes a counter- narrative understanding to social work with Latinxs based on Latinxs' cultural capital (Ayala & Contreras, 2018; Yosso, 2005).

• Abolishing Whiteness: Preparing MSW Social Work Students for Anti-Racist Practice by Hanna, Michele D.; Arnold-Renicker, Heather; Garza, Barbara (2021) - In order to combat white supremacy, White people must make the invisible visible, deal with the “internal conflict at the core of white racial identity” (Tanner, 2019, p. 183) and actively join the war. Abolishing Whiteness: Preparing MSW Social Work Students for Anti- Racist Practice Michele D. Hanna Heather Arnold-Renicker Barbara Garza Abstract: The power, privilege, and oppression paradigm that most schools of social work currently espouse to are often taught through an experiential approach to whiteness, privileging the majority of white students with the opportunity to explore their white identity at the expense of the learning of the Black/Brown, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) students in the classroom.

• Re-Envisioning Social Work Education: Building and Living a Social Justice-focused Clinical Social Work Curriculum by Kang, Hye-Kyung (2022) - By virtue of their positions on society’s “margins,” certain groups have unique and important perspectives that must be centralized in social justice work. Building off of the ideas of bell hooks (1990), many social justice activists engage in “trickle up social justice work,” which operates from the assumption that social justice trickles up, but it does not trickle down (DeFilippis & Anderson-Nathe, 2017; Flanders, 2012).

• Integrating Critical, Engaged, and Abolitionist Pedagogies to Advance Antiracist Social Work Education by Todić, Jelena; Christensen , M. Candace (2022) - In that sense, engaged pedagogy provides a foundation that social work students need to “advocate for human rights at the individual, family, group, organizational, and community system levels” and “engage in practices that advance human rights to promote social, racial, economic, and environmental justice” (CSWE, 2022, p. 9). Together, they have the potential to build experimental learning communities that center mutuality and accountability, ensuring that social work students leave our programs prepared to work in solidarity with communities and organizations already engaged in antiracist liberatory efforts.

• #SocialWorkSoWhite: A Critical Perspective on Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and Social Justice in Social Work by Asher BlackDeer, Autumn; Gandarilla Ocampo, Maria (2022) - Social work claims to originate from powerful social movements throughout time (Reisch, 2013 as cited by Brady et al., 2019); however, scholars have begun to delineate the following pattern regarding the social work profession’s actual involvement with social movements: As new social movements emerge, the field of social work begins to reject the social movement, including its leaders, members, and goals (Brady et al., 2019). Social work reproduces this line of thinking in treating marginalized communities, predominately those of color, as deficits or problems that need help integrating into white society, as social work promotes white civility as a benchmark of assimilation (Fortier & Hon-Sing Wong, 2019).

• Leveraging a Social Justice Focus on Social Work Education and Licensure by Tomaszewski, Evelyn P.; Cox, Lisa E.; Kaur, Brahmpreet (2025) - 5. Social work programs ought to continue to initiate research on social work licensure, including furthering qualitative exploration of social work programs across the country and the nature of their curriculum and licensure preparation. Background Early literature related to social work education and licensure has identified barriers to obtaining social work licensure (Boutte’-Queen, 2003), the relevance of CSWE curriculum policy (Black & Whelley, 1999), the dilemma of “grandparenting” in state licensure when non-degreed workers are involved (Cohen & Deri, 1992), and the issue of continuing education requirements once licensed (Dietz, 1998).

• Online Practice Course Development with Action Research: A Case Example by Khaja, Khadija; Ouellette, Phillip; Barkdull, Carenlee; Yaffe, Joanne (2008) - In another study, nearly 42% of online students were not content with their learning experience if their instructors’ sole teaching strategy was to simply post a great deal of written text online. In a field where interpersonal communication skills and use of self are emphasized, the development and implementation of online social work practice courses may be resisted by students, faculty and administrators due to the perceived need for face-to-face contact between instructors and students. _________________ Khadija Khaja, Ph.D., is an assistant professor and Philip Ouellette, Ph.D., is an associate professor, both at the Indiana University School of Social Work, Indianapolis.

Doe decision that held the entitlement of undocumented children to receive a primary and secondary state-funded education and educational equality, the undocumented children are caught in the midst of the “immigration crisis” (Lopez, 2005; Olivos & Mendoza, 2010).

• Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis in a Social Work Sample by Rice, Karen; Hwang, Jeongha; Abrefa-Gyan, Tina; Powell, Kathleen (2010) - For example, the attitude toward EBP subscale requires participants to indicate their attitude somewhere between opposite pairs of statements (e.g., “Evidence based practice is a waste of time” to “Evidence based practice is fundamental to professional practice”); whereas, the other two subscales do not utilize this paired statement approach.

Patrick; Canada, Kelli E.; Jaggers, Jeremiah W. (2021) - First, while much of the research on social support networks focuses on the positive nature of such support on emotional and physical well-being, some network members may be nettlesome, quarrelsome, and intrusive. As Rook (1984) elucidates, while there is much interest in the role of support networks as a buffer for stressful life events, non-supportive relationships may exacerbate stress, even in the presence of positive social relationships.

• Next Wave of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome Survivors: Black Women Resisters in Academia by Rodgers, Selena T. (2021) - Keywords: Black women professionals, post traumatic slave syndrome, posttraumatic growth, voice-centered, anti-Black racism, social work education It is not that Black women have not been and are not strong; it is simply that this is only a part of our story, a dimension, just as suffering is another dimension— one that has been most unnoticed and unattended to. From the lynching of Mary Turner and her unborn baby, the execution of Breonna Taylor, to institutionalized racism endured by Black women professionals in academia, White supremist values continue to serve to oppress, marginalize, isolate, govern, police, subjugate, reduce, and justify control and violence against Black women (Beauboeuf- Lafontant, 2009; Collins, 2000; Spencer & Perlow, 2018).

• Reconsidering How Successful Aging is Defined: Perspectives from Community-Dwelling Aging Adults by Teater, Barbra; Chonody, Jill (2021) - Successful aging was achieved through healthy maintenance and “full engagement in life, including productive activities and interpersonal relations” (Rowe, 1997, p. 367), and placed the emphasis on lifestyle choices in maintaining health and reversing disabling problems, which has been argued to “move successful aging further from the social determinants of health” (Katz & Calasanti, 2015, p. 27) and away from an acknowledgment of the influence of the environment on the aging process (Teater & Chonody, 2017). Abstract: Successful aging is a prominent framework within gerontology, yet an understanding of how aging adults define “successful aging” is often missing in the social work discourse around what it means to age well.

• Social Workers as Potential Agents for Drug Policy Reform by Benjamin, Annie Grace; Ivy, Kendra M.; Santo, Ashton E.; Sheila P. Vakharia; Malinowska-Sempruch, Kasia (2022) - However, far more resources were spent on enforcement versus treatment: between 1985 and 2000, “drug offenses accounted for two-thirds of the rise in the federal inmate population” (Netherland & Hansen, 2017, p. 217), disproportionately affecting Black and Brown people despite comparable rates of drug use across racial groups (Koch et al., 2016). The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 was passed to address a perceived crisis of drug use in general, but the sale and use of crack cocaine in poor Black neighborhoods and the births of “crack babies” were particularly sensationalized in the media (Beaver, 2010; Reinarman & Levine, 1997).

• Uplifting Voices to Create New Alternatives: A Critical Assessment of Mental Health Needs and Access Barriers Among Mexican Community Members in Chicago by Carrillo, Arturo; Pichardo, Catherine M.; O’Grady, Caitlin; Rak, Kevin; Berumen, Cindy (2023) - Additionally, the passage of the Community Expanded Mental Health Services Act of 2011 in Illinois allowed community members to establish a binding referendum, giving them the ability to raise property taxes in order to fund community mental health centers to serve those within the designated service area. Not only does anti-immigrant legislation undermine emotional well-being, but it also limits the extent to which Latinx immigrants can access insurance coverage, mental health services, and other health-promoting resources (Santiago-Rivera et al., 2011).

• Social Work Advocacy in Federal Immigration Courts: A Consultant’s Reflection on Successful Cases by Zayas, Luis H. (2022) - To demonstrate how social work expertise can be brought to bear in advocacy collaborations, this paper presents examples of social work advocacy with immigrant and human rights attorneys to protect undocumented parents on the verge of deportation and children and mothers from Central America seeking asylum in the U.S. As callous as the immigration debates appear to be in the 21st Century, this is not the first time in American history that hateful vitriol has been spewed in the public square and the press. An example of harsh enforcement practices is the creation of “family residential centers” under the Obama Administration in 2014 to detain all female-headed families, including children, in secure, unlicensed facilities for the duration of their asylum hearings.

Epperson Alexa Cinque Hannah Lee Abstract: Incarceration-based approaches to illegal gun possession have not proven effective at reducing gun violence, and they have created dramatic racial disparities. Barragan et al. (2016) found that illegal gun possession (i.e. either owning or carrying a gun without the proper licensure and permits) is distinct in that it is often driven by community-level violence and first-hand exposure to gun violence.

• Addressing Older Latinos’ Spiritual Needs in Hospital Settings: Identifying Predictors of Satisfaction by Hodge, David R.; Wolosin, Robert J.; Bonifas, Robin P. (2013) - Background Hospitalization frequently evokes spiritual needs, especially among devout populations such as older Latinos (Nelson-Becker, Nakashima, & Canda, 2007). For example, previous qualitative research with non-Latino samples suggests that spiritual needs that facilitate coping are often manifested in two dimensions, vertical (i.e., needs related to connection with God), and horizontal (i.e., needs related to connecting with other human beings) (Conner & Eller, 2004; Hermann, 2001).

• Attachment Theory and the Social Work Curriculum by Page, Timothy; Norwood, Rhonda (2007) - Attachment theory, as developed by Bowlby and Ainsworth, represented a major departure from the current theories of human development of the time, par- ticularly in its rejection of the major tenets of psychoanalytic theory and its integra- tion of core ideas from evolution theory and cybernetics (Ainsworth & Bowlby, 1991). The creation of attachment theory, beginning with the work of John Bowlby (1907- 1990) and, later, Mary Ainsworth (1913-1999), was, like all great ideas, as much a product of new intellectual currents as it was an explicit rejection of the old ideas it was intended to replace.

• Kinship Ties: Attachment Relationships that Promote Resilience in African American Adult Children of Alcoholics by Hall, J. Camille (2007) - Although changes in African American families, like changes in all families in the United States that have diluted the importance of kinship ties, many African Americans continue to place a high value on extended family members. Utilizing both attachment theory and risk and resilience literature, this paper discusses ways to better understand the resilient nature of African American families and how mul- tiple attachment relationships assist at-risk African American children, specifically adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs).

• Attachment and Alternatives: Theory in Child Welfare Research by Washington, Karla T. (2008) - Key words: Child welfare, research, attachment theory, theoretical alternatives A substantial body of research now supports what child welfare workers have known for decades: The detrimental effects of child abuse and neglect are significant, long-lasting, and can impact every aspect of a child’s life (Augoustinos, 1987; Cahill, Kaminer, & Johnson, 1999; Fagan, 2001; Glaser, 2000; Pollak, Cicchetti, Hornung, & Reed, 2000; Smetana & Kelly, 1989; Starr & Wolfe, 1991).

• Same Problem, Different Policies: A Framework for Examining Social Problem Constructions Over Time by Barretti, Marietta Anne (2020) - Though the social constructionist view has been embraced by some social work scholars (e.g., Chapin, 2014; Danto, 2008; Dean, 1993; Dybicz, 2011; Laird, 1993; Mildred, 2003; Sahin, 2006; Weick, 1992, 1993) over time, albeit unevenly, in other sectors of the professional curriculum (see Barretti, 2016 for a more in-depth discussion), it has not been vigorously or consistently championed in social policy. Finally, radical or critical frameworks focus on the critique of social policy in serving the existing social order, using analysis as a tool for accomplishing fundamental social change; a framework for which O’Connor and Netting (2008) could not find evidence in the social work literature.

• Does Police Intervention in Intimate Partner Violence Work? Estimating the Impact of Batterer Arrest in Reducing Revictimization by Cho, Hyunkag; Wilke, Dina J. (2010) - The difference in the size of arrest effect between 25% for Maxwell et al., and 39.6% for this study might result from the difference in the time frame when the two sets of data were collected. The arrest of batterers has steadily increased since the mid 1980s (Archer et al., 2003; Baumer et al., 2003), which in turn could suggest that through a general deterrent effect, there would be a time-lagged increase in size of arrest effect.

• Life Span and Resiliency Theory: A Critical Review by Smith-Osborne, Alexa (2007) - Later, as social work educators and researchers gave more attention to salutogenic, strengths-based (Saleebey, 1997) theoretical mod- els for practice, resiliency constructs were further developed within the ecologi- cal perspective (e.g., Fraser & Galinsky, 1997; Gilgun, 1996) in social work theory, rather than in life span theory. Life span development theories commonly focus on onto- genesis and sequential mastery of skills, tasks, and abilities.

• Complexity Theory, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Change: Augmenting Systems Theory by Woehle, Ralph (2007) - Augmenting Systems Theory Ralph Woehle Abstract: Social work change processes are addressed in terms of complexity theory and nonlinear dynamics, adding the edge-of-chaos, as well as chaos to the entropy and homeostasis of ecosystems theory. However, since much of the literature pertaining to complexity is of a general conceptual nature, the discussion must be framed in a way that more explicitly addresses social work change processes and describes how social work practice might be informed by complexity approaches to theory and associated nonlinear modeling.

• Peer Support, Self-efficacy, and Combat-related Trauma Symptoms among Returning OIF/OEF Veterans by MacEachron, Ann; Gustavsson, Nora (2012) - As shown in Table 2-Part A, the amount of change in variance explained is very small but significant (R2 = .01, p < .05) in comparing Model 1 (R1 2 = .79) and Model 2 (R2 2 = .80) where posttest peer support is added to the regression equation with the control and covariate variables. The standardized coefficient (Beta = -.15, p < .001) shows that one standard deviation increase in posttest peer support is necessary to reduce posttest PTSD symptoms by only .15 standard deviations when holding control and covariate variables constant.
