Spanked: How Hitting Our Children is Harming Ourselves is a
historical and cultural analysis of the long accepted practice of
hitting children for learning and obedience. The book begins with
understanding who spanks and how the practice of using a hand to
hit the buttocks of children evolved. Erickson explores the
cultural factors from historical magazine articles and parenting
books to contemporary beliefs that support this type of discipline.
Spanking's connections to a variety of topics are clarified,
including the feelings of parents, perceptions of children,
potential child abuse, school corporal punishment, attachment and
bonding, the legal language that allows hitting of one's children
but not others, and international perspectives on physical
punishment. The book invites an exploration of who we are as
parents, and as a society, and what family leadership really means.
Book group questions for families, professionals, and organizations
lend the book useful for conversation and dialogue in libraries,
living rooms, offices, and classrooms. Erickson gives readers an
open platform to discuss respectfully what we are really
communicating when we spank children.
Environmental Justice as Social Work Practice places the natural
environment as central to practice. Utilizing the Phases of
Practice and micro to macro levels of practice, the book integrates
neatly into a college semester course. Chapters cover important
components of social work such as theory, ethics, conceptual
foundations as well as distinct chapters on micro, mezzo, and macro
practice. Each chapter expands the discipline's commitment to and
applied efforts in the environmental movement while recognizing the
unique contributions social work has to offer to ameliorate
environmental inequities. Chapters include real-world stories from
environmental social work practitioners, case studies, and boxed
sections highlighting organizations and people who bridge the human
and natural justice divide. Each chapter concludes with learning
activities and critical thinking questions providing learning
activities that map easily to a course syllabus. A matrix
identifying the placement of educational competencies from the
Council on Social Work Education is included. The textbook provides
a framework for social work educators to bravely and competently
teach environmental social work as a stand-alone college course or
to incorporate into a traditional practice course.
