Family and Friends of People with HIV/AIDS Support Group

ABSTRACT

Those who are supporting a loved one with HIV/AIDS are under a great deal of stress and need support too. This article describes a support group for family and friends living with HIV/AIDS in which members share their personal experiences, educate one another, and in the process, realize they are not alone as they learn to cope with the diagnosis of AIDS or HIV+ in someone they love. The struggles, conflicts, and emotions of the group members and of the group facilitators are discussed.     

Personality and Personal Disturbance in Social Workers: A Research Note

Summary Personality Deviance Scales (PDS) and Personal Disturbance Scale(DSSI/sAD) scores were obtained from field social workers. In comparison with general population data and Rutherford's16 PF findings with trainee social workers the subjects werefound to be extreme in not blaming others, slightly submissiveand to have a low prevalence of personal disturbance. It was conjectured that certain personality characteristicsand ways of reacting to frustration may be important in bothbecoming and remaining a social worker.     

Volunteers, families and children in need: an evaluation of Family Friends

This paper explores the findings from a small‐scale research project that analysed the impact of Family Friends – a voluntary agency that provides support to families under stress who have children aged between 5 and 11 years. The study, funded by Family Friends, evaluated service users’ perceptions of the support they received, specifically in relation to the significance and impact of the volunteer befrienders. The research identified that there are a proportion of families in need who fail to attract services from mainstream statutory agencies. It also identified that the Family Friends voluntary agency makes a particular contribution to service provision by offering a friendly, non‐stigmatizing, caring and responsive service.     

隐私权与一般人格权关系探讨

随着社会发展,隐私权在各国判例和学说的推动下逐渐具有一般人格权的性质.隐私权与一般人格权具有同质性,在功能上都呈现相似性,各国往往在实证法上设置其中一项.针对一般人格权的否定说,我国应当坚持一般人格权与具体人格权二元并立的双层人格权结构,但需明确二者之间的关系.在我国现行制度下,隐私权与一般人格权并存,隐私权不是一般人格权,但同为"框架性权利",发挥着赋予法官自由裁量权的作用.     

个案社会工作与心理咨询的专业关系比较

个案社会工作与心理咨询二者都在不同程度上关注社会弱势人群的健康发展、对人的心理和行为偏差的矫正,使得很多人经常性地把他们混为一谈。本文从专业关系的角度对两者的相似性和差异性进行了细致的比较,以期为无论是心理咨询者还是个案社会工作者恰当精细的教学亦即实务工作提供一些辨析和帮助。

司马迁是我国古代著名的史家,他的成功,父亲司马谈的教育起了重要的作用。就司马谈为何选择家庭教育来培养司马迁,他的培养计划,他的成功实践等方面作了研究,总结出教育的一些经验,希望能对目前的家庭教育有所启迪.     

日本近代家族制度与军国主义的内在联系

日本近代军国主义的形成和发展,与日本近代家族制度有着不可分割的联系。家族制度为军国主义体制提供了坚实的基础,军国主义在膨胀和扩张的过程中也充分利用了家族制度的特性与功能。本文从日本近代家族制度的变迁入手,通过家族与军国主义国家理论的关联、家族主义在军队的实践、战时家庭动员和统制等若干方面的探讨,揭示日本近代家族制度的性格与日本近代军国主义性格的一致性。     

大学生成就动机与心理健康的关系状况及调适对策分析——以H大学的个案调查为例

本研究采用成就动机量表(AMS)和心理健康自评量表(SCL-90),对300名大学生进行问卷测查。研究发现:在希望成功动机上,心理健康的各因子(除了抑郁)与其并不存在明显的相关性,而在避免失败和总成就动机上,二者则存在明显的相关性,避免失败的动机越大,其心理问题越严重,总成就动机越大,其心理问题越小。在此基础上,提出调适大学生成就动机与心理健康关系的对策。     

社会变迁中的东乡族家庭:结构、功能及家庭成员关系

在改革开放和社会变迁的大背景之下,东乡族的家庭发生了较大的变化。既体现出家庭发展变化的一般规律,同时也反映了不同地域和不同民族文化背景下家庭发展变化的特殊之处。具体表现为:家庭规模呈缩小趋势,但小型化速度缓慢;家庭类型以核心家庭和主干家庭为主,同时呈现多样化趋势;家庭生产功能和消费功能有所增强;家庭生育功能有所减弱;家庭教育功能和养老功能变化微弱,而宗教功能凸现;家庭关系保持和谐,但家庭传统权威力量受到了冲击。     

新型城镇化与家庭农场发展的耦合关系研究

新型城镇化与中国式家庭农场是互相促进的耦合发展关系。新型城镇化从土地资源、劳动力供给、基础设施建设和科学技术等方面为家庭农场发展提供必要的物质支持,而家庭农场也从提高农村居民收入、农业生产效率等方面为实现新型城镇化的公平和效率、加快产融结合发展和实现城乡结合发展创造有利条件。因此,需要以城镇为依托构建土地交易平台,解决土地流转问题,促进家庭农场发展并反哺城镇化;以城镇为依托构建完善的农业服务体系,促进家庭农场的健康和可持续发展,实现农村经济和城镇化的共存发展;结合新型城镇化发展需求建立成熟的农产品销售市场,实现城镇商业销售渠道与农村农业发展的有机结合。

Exploring the 'Need' for Family Centres: The Perceptions of Social Workers and Their Importance for Planning

Correspondence to Ms J. R. Fells, Wooster Arms, The Walk, Islip, Oxon OX5 2SD. Summary This article follows Gilbert Smith in questioning the usefulnessof some traditional ways of regarding need, which rely mainlyon surveying potential client populations in order to decidewhat provision a social services department ought to make. Itdescribes a small study which examined in detail what socialworkers meant when they said that certain families ‘needed’a Family Centre, and which also looked at the subsequent historyof the department's contact with those families in the absenceof such a resource. It is, therefore, based on looking at whathappened to families when the Centre was not provided, and onanalysing social workers' perceptions of the need they encountered. It is argued that, despite its limitations, such an approachcan give useful indications, not only of what services shouldbe provided but as to the specific way they should be offered.In view of the role played by social workers in assessment for,and allocation of, services, it is suggested that a clearerunderstanding of their perceptions is essential to achieve effectiveservice utilization.     

'Everyone Started Shouting': Making Connections between the Process of Family Group Conferences and Family Therapy Practice

This article presents findings from a qualitative study of familygroup conferences (FGCs) in Wales, UK. The study examined theprocess of seventeen FGCs involving twenty-five young people,using semi-structured interviews, analysis of documents andcollection of data on welfare outcomes. Young people were re-interviewedafter six months. The article focuses on the data concerningreported communications between family members during the familymeetings. These data are discussed in relation to similaritiesand differences between FGCs and family therapy sessions. Theauthors conclude that each method of intervention presents potentiallessons and challenges to the other. FGC co-ordinators mightwish to reflect on how to manage and prepare family membersfor the potential for expressions of emotion and disclosuresof confidential information that might arise in a family meeting.Family therapy has a long history of successfully working withsuch processes. Additionally, family therapists may wish toreflect on the successful management of intra-familiar conflictand disclosure by many families acting without a therapist orother professional present in a FGC.     

创造性与知识、智力和人格关系研究述评

创造性与知识、智力和人格关系问题是创造性研究中的重要课题,并对教育的价值追求具有导向作用。过去国际学术界对这些问题的认识存在重大分歧,但最近的有些观点具有逐渐融合的趋势。本文利用国内外新近研究资料重新评价了有关的观点,并对新近出现的实证研究证据及其对教育的意义进行了讨论。     

Affective Social Competence and Teacher–child Relationship Quality: Race/Ethnicity and Family Income Level as Moderators

This study examined whether race/ethnicity and family income level moderated associations between children's affective social competence and teacher–child relationships among 132 Black, White, and Latino preschoolers. Boys and girls were equally represented in the sample. Of the three racial/ethnic groups, Latino children scored lowest on emotion regulation, were less close to their teachers, and experienced more teacher–child conflict and dependence. In contrast, Black children had closer, less conflict‐laden, and less dependent teacher–child relationships than children of other racial/ethnic backgrounds. Emotion regulation served as a protective factor against problematic teacher–child relationships, particularly for Latino and Black children compared with high‐income White children. Emotion regulation was positively associated with teacher–child closeness for Black children. However, it was negatively associated with teacher–child conflict for Latino children, regardless of income. For all outcomes, teacher characteristics accounted highly for the differences in teacher–child relational quality. Findings are discussed in terms of the functional role of emotions for teacher–child relationships and suggest important contextual influences on the associations.     

中日家庭德育之比较

家庭道德教育是社会道德教育的有机组成部分。中日两国素来具有重视家庭德育的传统,他们既有着共同的特点,也有着巨大的差异性。比较两国家庭德育的特点,借鉴日本家庭德育的成功经验,对于改进我国家庭德育教育方法,提高德育实践能力具有重要意义。     

后发优势理论与赶超发展战略的选择

落后国家采取什么样的发展战略尽快摆脱落后面貌赶上西方发达国家,这是我们必须思考的问题。落后国家的经济发展具有“后发优势”。后发优势理论提供了一个解释不发达现象与赶超发展战略选择之间存在高度相关性的理论分析框架。     

Communication in Care and Coercion: Institutional Interactions between Family Supervisors and Parents

Summary In this study the interaction of 51 videotaped professionalcommunications between Dutch family supervisors and parentsof children under family supervision were analysed. Family supervisionlies at the interface of care and control. This is evident inthe communication of professional child welfare workers withtheir clients for whom they have to clarify their rights. Theanalysis shows some of the strategies used by Dutch family supervisorsin cases of formal decisions and other interactions where theyanticipate confrontation with the client. In this way, familysupervisors separate their caring from their repressive functions.Nevertheless care and control were found to be successfullyintegrated in some communications.     

文化与制度关系新探

在对文化与制度范畴作基本的概念界定的基础上,可将二者分别界定为文化观念和正式规则。从不同层次上分析文化与制度的相互关系,才能超越“文化是体制之母”和“制度决定文化”的循环论证。从归根结底的意义上而言,文化观念的形成和积淀,制度的形构和变迁皆源于人们的社会生产实践;截取历史发展的某一阶段,文化观念是制度的发生学意义上的直接来源,然而文化观念在不同的内源性和外源性制度变迁模式和制度变迁的不同阶段会有不同的作用,需做具体分析。
