Examine the questions of how, what, and why associated with
religiousness and spirituality in the lives of older adults! New
Directions in the Study of Late Life Religiousness and Spirituality
explores new ways of thinking about a topic that was once taboo but
that has now attracted considerable attention from the
gerontological community. It examines various approaches to
methodology and definition that are used in the study of religion,
spirituality, and aging. In addition, it explores the ways that
gerontological research can highlight the role of religion and
spirituality in the lives of older adults. The first section will
introduce you to new ways of thinking about research methodology
and data analysis that can be applied to studying the complexity of
older adults' religious/spiritual practice and beliefs. You'll
learn several approaches to the study of phenomena that are both
personal and also deeply embedded in community. The second section
addresses issues of definition, exploring important questions that
call for critical reflection, such as: What are we studying? What
social and psychological influences shape our thinking about
definition? and Do the definitions used by gerontologists match
those held by older people? The final section moves the study of
religion, spirituality, and aging beyond a focus on health and
mortality to examine well-being more broadly in the context of the
life experiences of older adults. Here is a small sample of what
you'll learn about in New Directions in the Study of Late Life
Religiousness and Spirituality: structural equation modelinga
statistical method designed to capture the dynamics inherent in the
passage of time feminist qualitative methods for studying spiritual
resiliency in older women spirituality as a public health issue the
differences between groups of older people in the way they define
religion and spirituality the psychosocial implications of two
types of religious orientationdwelling and seeking older women's
responses to the experience of widowhood and to the question of
whether their religious beliefs were affected by the experience how
social context influences our decisions and our interpretations of
people's religious beliefs, behaviors, and experiences the ways
that people caring for a spouse with dementia rely on religious
coping a model that delineates three different ways people relate
to God in copingand a study that asks whether these types of coping
produce different outcomes for caregivers how people adjust to
bereavement as a function of their beliefs about an afterlife

The Last Years of Long Lives is a unique account of that period of old age which precedes death. Based on 400 complete individual histories and covering a twenty-year period, it looks at the experiences of people over eighty years old in three important areas: disability, family life and health care. Using the life-course approach to research, it reveals rich data about the contributions of formal and informal care and how life expectancy and experiences of disability interact with experiences of care.
The reader is invited to conceptualise these phenomena as processes in continuous time - processes that are sometimes long and complex, sometimes short and simple - and learns about the four types of disability career before death. At the same time, the author presents a three-stage model of informal care and examines the main patterns of formal service use.
The Last Years of Long Lives presents a new way of looking at old age for students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers and gives a comprehensive picture of what has been called 'the fourth age'.
Originally published in 1966, this is a sociological study of boys
growing up in East London. Previous books from the Institute of
Community Studies had looked at the lives of other residents of
Bethnal Green - couples with young children, middle-aged 'Mums',
old people, widows. Now the subject is adolescent boys - a study of
them not in isolation nor primarily as a 'problem' group but as
young people moving between childhood and adulthood in the setting
of a particular local community. What is it like to grow up in a
district like Bethnal Green? How do the boys adjust to the process?
What part is played by school, work, youth club, family? What are
the boys' relationships with their fellows and with girls? Where
does delinquency fit in? To help answer such questions, a sample of
246 boys aged 14 to 20 were interviewed. The statistical analysis
of this survey has been supplemented by illustrative material from
diaries, tape-recorded interviews, and informal observation. The
outcome is a vivid account, much of it in the boys' own words,
which was rather different from some popular views of contemporary
adolescence at the time. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its
historical context.
Series Information: Key Ideas
Sociological Analysis of Aging: The Gay Male Perspective is an
exploratory study of the life changes homosexual and bisexual men
experience as they age. This unique book presents in-depth,
qualitative interviews with gay men, aged 55 and older, focusing on
their physical, mental, and social needs. More than one hundred men
offer first-hand perceptions on the unique problems they face with
regards to employment/retirement, housing, health and well-being,
and relationships, and how they function within (or without) a
social support system. Sociological Analysis of Aging fills in the
gaps in the existing social science literature on homosexuals and
aging, updating findings that were inconclusive when first
published and/or based on case studies or limited samples. While
standard books on aging typically deal with the impact of life
events such as child rearing, the empty nest syndrome, and
grandparenting, Sociological Analysis of Aging deals with the
unique realities that gay men face in addition to the universal
concerns of the elderly: affordable health care, affordable
housing, and adequate coverage for medication costs. The study
examines what can be done to assist successful aging for sexual
minorities, particularly in the areas of social policy, service
delivery, and public tolerance. Sociological Analysis of Aging
focuses on specific research questions: Do aging gay men consider
themselves to be physically healthy? Do aging gay men suffer from
depression? Do aging gay men have access to social support
networks? What are the housing needs of the aging gay
communitypresent and future? How involved are aging gay men with
family, friends, church, and community? In addition, the men
interviewed were asked what, if anything, was left on a to-do list;
what the best and worst aspects of aging are; and what, if
anything, they would change about the course their lives had taken.
Their answers make Sociological Analysis of Aging: The Gay Male
Perspective an essential resource for therapists, counselors, and
social workers, and for academics working in sociology, psychology,
gerontology, and gay studies.

What can we learn from the tragedy of these exploited young
people?In Thailand, a thriving sex industry makes its money
exploiting the young. Some children are coerced into prostitution
and some have been sold into sexual slavery by their own families,
but just as tragically there is no shortage of young girls (and
boys) willing to work as prostitutes. Child Prostitution in
Thailand: Listening to Rahab searches for the reasons why. This
uniquely insightful book looks into the lives--and even more
importantly, listens to the words--of ten Thai prostitutes. Child
Prostitution in Thailand is about what we can learn from them--who
they are, what they go through, and why.In their own words, the
young prostitutes you'll meet in this book Thailand discuss what
brought them into this life. Some have come from a tragic home
situation, but not all are impoverished, orphaned, or abused.
Nevertheless, they have entered into a dangerous and degrading
lifestyle that often leads to violence, sickness, and early death.
Of these ten prostitutes, one has already passed away and four more
are dying with AIDS.This remarkable volume will help you to
understand: how Thailand's child prostitution industry developed
the impact upon girls and young women of Thailand's evolution from
an agriculturally based economy to an industrial one changing forms
of child prostitution who the customers are the role of tourism and
its impact on child prostitution in Thailand how poverty, poor
education, a sexually focused mass media, lack of religious
emphasis, disability, and the lack of a clear policy on child
prostitution help the sex industry to thriveThis book also explores
the details of child prostitution in Thailand--for instance, in
open-air "restaurants" and "pubs" in Chiang Mai, your young
waitress may double as a sex worker--and her provocative "uniform"
represents a dress code enforced by the establishment's owner. A
"cafe" is another kind of sex service disguised as (and functioning
as) a bar/restaurant. Here, young girls working ten- and
eleven-hour shifts in short skirts must wear price tags pinned to
their shirts and may have to service five to ten clients per
night.The head of the U.S. State Department's office for
international women's issues estimates that traffickers bring
50,000 women and children into the United States illegally each
year. The lessons Listening to Rahab teaches can help us to better
understand the situation here at home as well as overseas. A
helpful appendix assessing incidents of child prostitution around
the globe bring the information even more clearly into focus.

As Tony Blair has argued "Technology has revolutionised the way we work and is now set to transform education. Children cannot be effective in tomorrow's world if they are trained in yesterday's skills." Cyberkids draws together research in the sociology of childhood and social studies of technology to explore children's experiences in the Information Age. The book addresses key policy debates about social inclusion and exclusion, children's identities and friendships in on-line and off-line worlds and their relationships with families and teachers. It counters contemporary moral panics about children's risk from dangerous strangers on-line, about corruption and lost innocence from adult-centred material on the web and about the addiction to life on the screen. Instead, by showing how children use ICT in balanced and sophisticated ways, the book draws out the importance of everyday uses of technology and the ways in which children's local experiences are embedded within, and in part, constitute the global.
They must make mature decisions before they are out of school, take on adult responsibilities before they have left home, and care for their children before they have completed their own childhood. One of today's greatest social issues, pregnant teens walk the boundary between childhood and adulthood, no longer able to reside in one world, and unprepared for the next. While society traditionally is quick to condemn, Wendy Luttrell counters the stigmatising ways in which such girls have been traditionally held with this moving ethnography of their lives. Focusing on fifty girls enrolled in a model public school program for pregnant teens in the US, Luttrell explores how pregnant girls experience society's view of them and also considers how these girls view themselves and the choices they've made. She pays particular attention to how schools react to pregnant teens and what they are doing to help these vulnerable young women to achieve their education. Readers learn the real problems that pregnant teens are dealing with, and how society's racial and class stereotypes continue to stigmatise and scapegoat them. These individual stories are accompanied by personal self-portraits that present a carefully detailed and powerfully moving picture of the issues these girls face everyday.
Speech and language are fundamental to human development. Language is needed for both communication and thought, while education depends on the ability to understand and use language competently. Effective communication underpins social and emotional well-being.
Children's Communication Skills: From Birth to Five Years uses a clear format to set out the key stages of communication development in babies and young children. Its aim is to increase awareness in professionals working with children of what constitutes human communication and what communication skills to expect at any given stage. Illustrated throughout with real-life examples, this informative text addresses: · normal development of verbal and non-verbal communication skills · the importance of play in developing these skills · developmental communication problems · bilingualism, cognition and early literacy development · working with parents of children with communication difficulties.
Features designed to make the book an easy source of reference include chapter summaries, age-specific skills tables, sections on warning signs that further help may be needed, and a glossary of key terms. These practical guidelines on what to expect children to achieve and how to help them get there are based on a huge body of research in child language and communication development. Children's Communication Skills: From Birth to Five Years will be of great use to a wide range of professionals in training or working in health, education and social care, including health visitors, GPs, community nurses, educational psychologists, early years educators and speech and language therapists.
This collection of facsimile reprints brings together essays in the field of American law relating to the controversial area of children's rights, parents' rights, and state's obligations toward children.

Recent decades have seen a fundamental change in the age structure of many western societies. In these societies it is now common for a fifth to a quarter of the population to be retired, for fewer babies to be born than is required to sustain the size of the population and for life expectancy to exceed eighty years old. This book provides an overview of the key issues arising from this demographic change.

This collection of facsimile reprints brings together essays in the field of American law relating to the controversial area of children's rights, parents' rights, and state's obligations toward children. Articles discuss the major rulings concerning an array of hotly debated issues. Volume one focuses on the obligations of the state to insure the protection of children and to intervene on behalf of a child. Issues include the rights of parents to educate children, to retain custody of children and to inflict corporal and noncorporal punishment on children. This volume also covers the state's lack of obligation to intervene in the private sphere of the family, i.e. the right of the state to remain neutral in cases of abuse, threat, or in cases where decisions made by the head of a household might appear to compromise the welfare or best interests of a child.
This special issue presents theoretical and empirical studies that
provide an understanding of the dynamic, complex, and often
conflicting school, family, and community context in which
African-American and Latino adolescents are formally and informally
educated. Focusing on the examination of identity development,
family/community background and resources, and academic
performance, this issue is concerned with the development and
implementation of culturally relevant policies and programs for
these adolescents that effectively support their academic success.
Each paper addresses a set of challenging questions and, in the
process, raises new questions. As a result, the papers challenge
researchers, policymakers, and educators to engage in thoughtful
examination of the sociocultural context in which African American
and Latino youth live as they address their developmental and
academic needs.

This book explores in detail the concept of homelessness by examining the dynamics of shelter living and the financial costs in comparison to the psychological costs to the children and the family. A comparison is made with housed low-income families to highlight the fact that homelessness, outside of poverty, does play a key role in the negative outcomes of homeless children and families. Psychological well-being is defined with behavioural outcomes and self-concept while family functioning is defined with parenting dimensions, family environment and social supports. Strong recommendations are made for program implementations to provide a comprehensive response to the needs of homeless families with children.
In this book the authors examine in depth the lives of inner-city
adolescent mothers, going beyond stereotypes to illuminate the
diverse pathways to young adulthood taken by these young women. The
different ways they respond to becoming a parent reflect a range of
abilities, aspirations, and supports. Their often-creative
solutions to living in poverty, the intensity of their desires to
make their children's lives better, the height of their youthful
ambition when they succeed, and the depth of their pain when they
fail, all show a surprising range. The authors argue that
adolescent mothers who enter young adulthood with the skills and
desires to care for themselves and their children are "not" the
resilient few and present a lengthy analysis of the
multidimensional processes that lead to and characterize this
resilience.
In making constructive suggestions for social welfare policies and
reforms, this book serves as an ideal model of the important uses
of qualitative research for understanding the adolescent
experience. More than that, the book stands out among others by
this social policy perspective and its focus on encouraging
adolescent mothers to reach their potentials.
This volume aims to attract those who wish to learn more about the
adolescent experience without getting lost in the detail of the
methods and analyses. To this end, the main body of the text
presents general methods and results. Scholarly details of the work
are placed in appendices to which the interested reader can refer.
A second highlight is the inclusion of impressionistic material,
such as quotes from the adolescent mothers who were participants in
this research. Such material brings to life the real issues of very
real adolescents--their triumphs and struggles, their riches and
poverty, their strengths and weaknesses.
Small Comrades is a fascinating examination of Soviet conceptions of childhood and the resulting policies directed toward young children. This book offers some tentative answers to the questions, 'What did children make of the Revolution?' and 'What did the Revolution make of them?' This project emphasises young children as the subjects of policies and politics in their own right. It draws on work that has been done on Soviet schooling, and focuses specifically on the development of curricula and institutions, it also examines the wider context of the relationship between the family and the state, and to the Bolshevik vision of the 'children of October.' eBook available with sample pages: PB:0815339453
Tavistock Press was established as a co-operative venture between
the Tavistock Institute and Routledge & Kegan Paul (RKP) in the
1950s to produce a series of major contributions across the social
sciences. This volume is part of a 2001 reissue of a selection of
those important works which have since gone out of print, or are
difficult to locate. Published by Routledge, 112 volumes in total
are being brought together under the name The International
Behavioural and Social Sciences Library: Classics from the
Tavistock Press. Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was
originally published in 1957 and is available individually. The
collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of
between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.
"An extraordinary, eye-opening book." --People National Health
Information Awards winner "A rousing wake-up call. . . . This
highly engaging, provocative book prove[s] beyond a reasonable
doubt that millions of lives depend on us finally coming to terms
with the long-term consequences of childhood adversity and toxic
stress." --Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow Dr.
Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician
delivering targeted care to vulnerable children. But it was
Diego--a boy who had stopped growing after a sexual assault--who
galvanized her journey to uncover the connections between toxic
stress and lifelong illnesses. The stunning news of Burke Harris's
research is just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by
ACEs--adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, parental
addiction, mental illness, and divorce. Childhood adversity changes
our biological systems, and lasts a lifetime. For anyone who has
faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of
children who do, the fascinating scientific insight and innovative,
acclaimed health interventions in The Deepest Well represent
vitally important hope for preventing lifelong illness for those we
love and for generations to come?. "Nadine Burke Harris . . .
offers a new set of tools, based in science, that can help each of
us heal ourselves, our children, and our world."--Paul Tough,
author of How Children Succeed "A powerful--even
indispensable--frame to both understand and respond more
effectively to our most serious social ills."--New York Times
