Tulane Studies in Social Welfare. Volume 13. Child Welfare Issues in Social Work Education

摘要

Seven papers from the Child Welfare Training Center Fall 1980 Workshops are presented. The first paper provides the framework for an entire range of Home Based Family Centered Services and differentiates between the traditional services and the more innovative programs. The second paper discusses the issues dominating the field and expands on concepts needed to teach a course on permanency planning. The third paper selects major concepts from three family therapies which can be adapted to meet the wants of the multi-problem family. An outline of theories used in the development of a group model follows. The fifth paper illustrates some of the new concepts in action when a team model of decision making is introduced into a traditional public agency setting. The sixth paper shows how one course can include child welfare content in an effective manner. The final paper depicts methods and means of integrating child welfare content through the entire undergraduate curriculum while fully cognizant of the limitations imposed by the particularities of any locale.
