Daley ith great pride, we offer this special issue on a critical review of theories of human behavior in the social environment (HBSE). The original idea for Wthis special issue stemmed from several simultaneous issues. First, I taught a doctoral class on theory development twice, with three resulting articles (Daley et al., 2005; Gentle-Gennitty et al.; and Decker et al. featured in this issue), which indi- cated that theory critique and advancement was rarely in the social work journal lit- erature. Second, the Council on Social Work Education (1994) has required that Master in Social Work students should be able to “use theoretical frameworks to understand the interactions among individuals and between individuals and social systems” (p. 137) and that “the professional foundation must provide content about theories and knowledge of the human bio-psych-social development, including the- ories and knowledge about the range of social systems in which people live” (p. 140). Third, there are various textbooks that focus on HBSE and discuss different theories (i.e., Shriver, 2004; Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2007). Fourth, we could not find such a critique in any recent journal. In summary, our profession seemed to require HBSE theories for our education; the theories are frequently discussed but not critically evaluated in popular HBSE textbooks and such a review is long overdue. We sent a call for papers with five parameters for each manuscript. First, we asked for each author to describe a historical analysis of theory development, including how theory links to HBSE. Second, we asked that the author clearly describe the components of theory and operationalize the relationship between the variables within the theory. Third, we asked that the author provide a discussion of the goals or outcomes intended with theory and the boundaries of the theory. Fourth, we required that the author provide a description of empirical studies that have sup- ported and/or progressed the theory. Fifth, we requested that each author describe any specific next steps for theory progression and implications for social work. We received a wide range of manuscripts that were diverse in perspective. Some articles focused on well-known theories, such as ecological theory or psychodynamic theo- ry. Some articles introduced innovative theories that are new to our profession, such as semiotic metatheory or complexity theory. The result is a special issue that is like- ly to expand any reader’s horizons! There are some cautions to consider. Different scholars have developed frame- works for evaluating theories (e.g., Fischer, 1973; Payne, 2005; Turner, 1996; Witkin & Gottschalk, 1988) and some of those authors would challenge our emphasis on “operationalize” or “empirical studies” as being positivist biased. Other authors would probably acknowledge the importance of empirical testing but say that we should have demanded proof that the theory advanced social justice or was ethical or that everything is unique in its own way and cannot be compared to another set- ting. The arena of theory development is rampant with diverse perspectives of what constitutes a theory, what value any evaluation has, and whether theory progression is a useful term to use. I have had lively discussion in my course on these very top- ii ADVANCES IN SOCIAL WORK ics. Each reader must decide for him or herself how much weight to put on empiri- cal validation of the theory. I encourage the reader to see each article as an intellectually stimulating journey into a theory’s framework and credibility. Consider how that theory could be incor- porated into your professional toolbox of skills. How might this article help you to better understand your client and the context of their actions? Then compare and contrast different articles and theories. How could affect control theory (Forte) be compared to attachment

EVALUATION OF A STRENGTHS FOCUS Ending Social Work’s Grudge Match: Problems Versus Strengths J. Curtis McMillen, Lisa Morris, & Michael Sherraden ABSTRACT Some in social work have called for a paradigm shift away from a focus on problems to a focus on strengths, empowerment, and capacity building. This call sets up an unnatural dichotomy, asking social workers to identify with one side or another. In this article, we review social work history to argue that the best social work practice has always maintained a dual focus on both problems and capacity building. Throughout our history, those who championed a problem-oriented practice also emphasized strengths and growing client capacity, and today’s strength-based, capacity-oriented practitioners typically advocate for the solving of consumer’s presenting problems.

ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to explore how seven social work therapists attend to client strengths, with an emphasis on embodied experience and embodied strengths where competency and resourcefulness are experienced. Besides asking questions about the obvious markers of a person’s physical experience (hobbies, work, etc.), questions about the psychoanalytic concept of body-self and attributes of certain popularized mind/body approaches or techniques social work therapists may use were also posed. Workers, whose practices are in community mental health, inpatient psychiatry, medical and private practice settings, provided experience-near narrative data. Major findings were workers’ belief in the clinical value of using a strengths perspective. Workers also offered a variety of experiences of, and reasons for, the barriers they commonly encounter to using this approach. In terms of embodied practice, however, most could not identify more than a few techniques they use currently.

  • My Sojourn with the Strengths Perspective: Growth and Transformation Through Crisis, Illness, and Disability
    My Sojourn with the Strengths Perspective My Sojourn with the Strengths Perspective: Growth and Transformation through Crisis, Illness, and Disability Edward R. Canda INTRODUCTION I count myself extremely fortunate to have spent most of my academic career at the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare, inspired by the Strengths Perspective. I arrived in 1989, just as the Strengths Perspective was being officially named in publication and being set as an orientation for our School (Weick, Rapp, Sullivan, & Kisthardt, 1989). I retired December 31, 2019, in the midst of our year-long 30th An- niversary Celebration of the Strengths Perspective at KU. This chapter is a summary of my sojourn with the Strengths Perspective, including how it inspired my schol- arly work and insights about the human possibility for growth and transformation through adversity. Major principles of the Strengths Perspective can be found in a concise form on our School’s website. So here I will only highlight some of its features that are espe- cially pertinent to my work. Strengths-based social workers honor the strengths, resources, and possibilities for growth and positive transformation in each person and group. We collaborate with clients to assess and mobilize their strengths and resources as relevant to their goals and aspirations. We collaboratively work to overcome blocks and barriers and to generate new strengths and resources. And we promote empowerment, well-being, and global and environmental justice for everyone. We realistically acknowledge adversity, struggles, illness, oppression, and calamities, but we keep hope in the possibility for growth and transformation in any 347 Rooted in Strengths: Celebrating the Strengths Perspective in Social Work situation and we never reduce people to dehumanizing and possibility-crushing la- bels, stigmas, and assumptions about deficits, pathologies, and problems (Saleebey, 2000, 2013).

  • 1 Social Work Knowledge, Theory and Practice
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-13362-3 - Social Work: From Theory to Practice Marie Connolly and Louise Harms Excerpt More information 11 Social work knowledge, theory and practice SOCIAL WORKERS practise across a wide range of settings with all kinds of different people. Some work primarily with individuals whereas others work with families or groups of people in therapeutic or community contexts. Some social workers focus on community advocacy, community action and social change. In such diverse disciplinary contexts, the notion of theoretically informed practice can seem complicated. Yet social workers do draw upon a range of theoretical perspectives in their work, using theory to help understand and make sense of what is in reality a complex human world. Many theories used by social workers can also be found influencing the practices of allied professionals: counsellors, psychologists and others working within the human services. Theories explored in this book are not the sole purview of the social work profession, nor can they be claimed as necessarily emerging from within a social work paradigm. Professional interpretations of knowledge and theory overlap and interweave (Trevithick 2005). We would nevertheless argue that theory applied in social work has a disciplinary character that distinguishes it from the application of the same theories across allied disciplines. This is because knowledge and theory in practice is critically influenced by disciplinary attachments and the underpinning values and nature of the profession itself.

  • Human Behavior and Social Environments
    Human Behavior and Social Environments Foundations of Social Work Knowledge Foundations of Social Work Knowledge Frederic G. Reamer, Series Editor Social work has a unique history, purpose, perspective, and method. The primary purpose of this series is to articulate these distinct qualities and to define and explore the ideas, concepts, and skills that together constitute social work’s intellectual foundations and boundaries and its emerging issues and concerns. To accomplish this goal, the series will publish a cohesive collection of books that address both the core knowledge of the profession and its newly emerging topics. The core is defined by the evolving consensus, as primarily reflected in the Council of Social Work Education’s curriculum Policy State- ment, concerning what courses accredited social work education programs must include in their curricula. The series will be characterized by an em- phasis on the widely embraced ecological perspective; attention to issues concerning direct and indirect practice; and emphasis on cultural diversity and multiculturalism, social justice, oppression, populations at risk, and so- cial work values and ethics. The series will have a dual focus on practice traditions and emerging issues and concepts. David G.
