A Multi-Dimensional Conceptual Framework for Trauma-Informed Practice in Addictions Programming

Previous research has conceptualized trauma-informed practice in relation to five key values: safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. This research identifies key organizational, programmatic, and interpersonal characteristics in community-based residential addictions treatment programming that exemplify each of these principles. Utilizing qualitative research methods, involving open-ended, one to one interviews with clients in residential substance misuse treatment (n = 41), respondents identified the importance of experiencing “safety” in relation to physical safety, confidentiality, reassurance, rule enforcement, and peer relationships. “Trust” was manifested in sharing, staff availability, nonjudgmental interactions, positive relationship dynamics, and caring. “Choice” was articulated in relation to individual needs, participation, opportunities, and focus of efforts. “Collaboration” was characterized in relation to opportunities for feedback, planning, goal setting, specificity, and support. Finally, “empowerment” was characterized by comfort in sharing, trigger management, trauma awareness, and understanding. The findings provide a conceptual framework for a trauma-informed social services organizational practice environment. Findings can inform adaptations to social service delivery processes and programs to become aligned with the values of trauma-informed practice. Future research can build on this framework by testing the study findings with quantitative methods along with replicating current methods in other social service delivery sectors.     

Intention to Leave the Profession: Welfare Social Workers Compared to Health Care and Community Social Workers in Israel

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to compare specific work related-factors (personal factor: length of work experience; structural factors: personal subjection to violence and fear of being subjected to violence; and psychological factors: professional quality of life—compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue) between welfare social workers (SWs) (n = 200) and health care and community SWs (n = 173). Furthermore, since the issue of turnover among SWs has important implications for the provision and programming of social services, the study also aimed to assess the relationship between these factors and SW intention to leave the profession. For the purpose of this study, online questionnaires were distributed to SWs working at social agencies and services. The findings suggest that the two categories of SWs showed a similarity with regard to the association between the personal and structural factors and intention to leave the profession. However, with regard to the psychological factors, the components of professional quality of life were found to operate differently in each category of SWs. It is suggested that future research examine other work-related factors and explore the intention to leave the profession among other social work specializations and employment sectors.     

我国企业社会责任制度的反思与完善--以中日社会责任制度比较为视角

我国企业社会责任制度虽然已通过立法形式正式确立,但立法的模糊性与制度的粗放性仍十分明显。文章通过对日本企业社会责任制度的介绍,指出我国企业社会责任制度的完善路径,即廓清企业社会责任的外延,建立相关法律法规之间的联系,实现统一立法;加强债权人利益保护,建立公司债管理人制度与债权人会议制度;建立基于企业社会责任的企业文化。     

论大跃进时期浮夸风产生的社会环境

浮夸风是大跃进时期一种恶劣的社会现象,共产生与当时中国的社会环境之间有着密切的联系。大跃进前夕中国社会在政治、经济、思想以及社会心理等方面存在的“左”的因素,酝酿了浮夸风出现的可能性。     

动态能力理论视角下企业社会责任行动提升的研究

企业承担相应的社会责任已经取得了学术界和业界的基本认同,在我国当前的社会环境下,通过履行相应的社会责任既有助于企业经济目标的实现,也符合政府提倡建立“和谐社会”的社会总目标的要求。文章从动态能力理论视角出发,对于动态能力,企业社会责任态度,以及企业社会责任提升的关系进行了研究分析,建立了三者之间的关系模型框架。研究表明动态能力通过企业社会认知水平和组织价值观的影响作用,促进了企业社会责任态度的形成,进而能够提升该企业的社会责任行动水平。     

应当强调办案的社会效果

法律的概括性、抽象性、发展性等特点决定了有必要强调办案的社会效果。强调办案的社会效果有利于制约司法自由裁量权,是新时期司法工作的必然要求。     

论科学发展与社会和谐的科学内涵及内在统一

科学发展与社会和谐较之科学发展观是处于不同层次的概念,科学发展与社会和谐都其特定内涵。科学发展与社会和谐是内在统一的。     

政府问责视野中的国家精品课程复核研究

运用新公共服务理论和行政优益权理论分析,国家精品课程建设实质上是教育部为向公众提供优质的高等教育服务、确保优质资源的开放共享,而与申请国家精品课程的高校签订的行政契约,政府作为公共利益的集中代表,有权对国家精品课程建设给予监督并实施复核。     

深入学习实践科学发展观推动哲学社会科学繁荣发展

社会安全阀运行与和谐社会构建

社会安全阀具有宣泄社会情感、激发制度创新与整合社会结构的重要功能。由于制度化手段的缺失,当代中国社会安全阀机制具有潜制度化特征并在运行中逐渐显现出弊端,已不能适应社会和谐发展的需要。应该引入制度化的手段,用“显社会安全阀”替代“潜社会安全阀”,在经济、法律、政治、社会生活诸领域中实现社会安全阀的制度化运行机制。
