Solution-based casework is an approach to assessment, case planning, and case management that combines what we know from clinical social work with what we value about sound social work practice. It is grounded in family-centered social work and draws from clinical approaches within social work and mental health. By integrating problem- and solution-focused approaches that form the clinical and social work traditions, treatment partnerships are more easily formed between family, caseworker, and service provider. Solution-Based Casework is a skill-based, practice-oriented text that provides the specific guidance that students and new practitioners need in order to make sense quickly of the complex tasks of assessment and case planning in child welfare. The book flows out of a long practice experience, and was developed in consultation with workers and supervisors who were attempting to remedy problems viewed as contributing to recurrent abuse and neglect. It seeks to end adversarial relationships in casework and advocates case plans based on specific outcome skills rather than on those written with vague outcome goals measuring attendance in counseling. It serves as a common conceptual framework for integrating disparate segments of a response network, thereby allowing all providers in a therapeutic system to work toward common goals. The text is divided into three sections. In Section I the conceptual history and theoretical foundations of solution-based casework are presented so that the reader can place this approach to casework within the ongoing professional conversation about what constitutes sound practice. Section II addresses issues of assessment and case planning. Section III focuses on case management issues and how treatment team members experience a solution-based casework approach.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This volume brings together a range of miscellaneous short texts by Voltaire, mostly undated and principally manuscript fragments. From thoughts on the souls of animals, to how he organised his papers to a joke proxy granting unlimited powers to act on his behalf, these scraps shed light on Voltaire's working methods and on the possible subjects of texts that he never published. Most notably, it contains a supplement adding nineteen fragments to the edition of Voltaire's Notebooks (OCV, vol.81-82). Contributors: David Adams, Andrew Brown, Marie-Helene Cotoni, Nicholas Cronk, Jean Dagen, Stephanie Gehanne Gavoty, Myrtille Mericam-Bourdet, Christiane Mervaud, Gillian Pink, John Renwick, Gerhardt Stenger, David Williams.
Au cours des derniers mois de la vie, Voltaire se consacre a un projet de grande envergure, ses "Dialogues d'Evhemere", qui font la synthese de sa pensee en matiere de religion et de philosophie. L'entree triomphale a Paris sera par la suite l'occasion de retrouvailles avec l'Academie francaise, pour laquelle Voltaire projette un nouveau dictionnaire de langue francaise, ouvrage qui ne verra malheureusement pas le jour. Les Comediens-Francais de meme recoivent sa derniere esquisse de tragedie, "Agathocle". Ce volume regroupe egalement de nombreux courts textes de cette periode, y compris le poeme "Les Adieux a la vie".

Magic is not too strong a term for the appeal of this unique group of plants, the Mesembs. Radiant in flower and highly diverse in form and stature, this group includes plants as small as wheat grains or as big as a rhinoceros. Their fruits are as complex as any in the floral kingdom or as simple as saltshakers. Mesembs have captured the imagination of botanists, horticulturalists and travellers for many centuries. This title is a must for anyone who want to experience the magic of mesembs.

Ce volume contient plusieurs textes importants de Voltaire composes en 1766/1767: la "Relation de la mort du chevalier La Barre", qui fait partie de la lutte voltairienne contre l'infame; les "Lettres a Son Altesse Monseigneur le prince de ***", dans lesquelles Voltaire fait l'apologie de certains ecrivains 'antichretiens', precurseurs de l'esprit philosophique; et "Les Honnetetes litteraires", un 'compendium de traits d'erudition, de droiture et de charite'.
The first of three volumes of Voltaire's writings of 1746-1748, containing a major tragedy ("Semiramis", edited by Robert Niklaus), a comedy ("La Femme qui a raison", edited by Russell Goulbourne and Mark Waddicor), as well as the "Discours de M. de Voltaire a sa reception a l'academie francaise", edited by Karlis Raveskis, and Voltaire's shorter verse of 1746-1748, edited by R. A. Nablow. It underscores how Voltaire deployed his consummate skill as a writer across the full breadth of genres and forms, establishing himself as a multifaceted public intellectual.
This volume contains further full critical editions of some of Voltaire's many and varied writings of 1772. When Voltaire hears that Gustav III has assumed power in Sweden after a coup d'etat, he welcomes a new member to the club of enlightened rulers with the poem "Au roi de Suede, Gustave III". He returns to legal considerations, this time in their relation to religious toleration, in the "Reflexions philosophiques sur le proces de mademoiselle Camp", and the abuse of ecclesiastical privilege is attacked in "La Voix du cure sur le proces des serfs du Mont-Jura". The theme of religious intolerance surfaces again in his treatment of the Crusades in "Quelques petites hardiesses de Mr. Clair, a l'occasion d'un panegyrique de Saint Louis". He also publishes a treatise of sceptical deism, oddly entitled "Il faut prendre un parti ou le principe d'action". Voltaire continued to write poetry in a range of styles and genres: two verse satires, "Les Systemes" and "Les Cabales", a slighter work, "Jean qui pleure et qui rit", and towards the end of the year, one of his most important poems, the "Epitre a Horace", which shows him comparing notes with Horace as to how each of them will be treated by posterity: 'J'ai vecu plus que toi; mes vers dureront moins.'
Ethical Issues in Biotechnology is the first textbook of its kind, written collaboratively by a philosopher and a biologist to provide undergraduate students with a comprehensive, accessible introduction to the ethical and scientific fundamentals of biotechnology. Engaging the ethics and the science side by side, the text addresses pressing questions in agricultural, food, and animal biotechnology; human genetics; gene therapy; human cloning; and stem cell research. A general introduction to both the moral philosophy and fundamentals of genetics is enhanced throughout the text with section-specific introductions addressing the particular philosophical and scientific challenges posed by the topic under consideration. Diagrams and drawings, study cases, liberal use of practical examples, and suggestions for further reading make the text an ideal resource for a broad range of students interested in issues and questions lying at the intersection of philosophy and genetics.
In this collection, Champagne and Stauss demonstrate how the rise of Native studies in American and Canadian universities exists as an extraordinary achievement in higher education. In the face of historically assimilationist agendas, institutional racism, and structural opposition by Western educational institutions, collaborative programs continue to grow and promote the values and goals of sovereign tribal communities. The contributors show how many departments grew significantly following the landmark 1969 Senate report, 'Indian Education: A National Tragedy, A National Challenge.' They evaluate the university efforts to offer Native students intellectual and technical skills, and the long battle to represent Native cultures and world views in the university curriculum. In twelve case studies, Indian and non-Indian teachers provide rich, contextual histories of their programs through three decades of growth. They frankly discuss successes and failures as innovative strategies and models are tested. Programs from University of California-Davis, Harvard, Saskatchewan, Arizona and others provide detailed analyses of academic battles over curriculum content, the marginalization of indigenous faculty and students, the pedagogical implications of integrating native instructors, the vagaries of administrative support and funding, Native student retention, the vulnerability of native language programs, and community collaborations. A vision of Indian education that emerges from these pages that reveals the university's potential as a vehicle for Indian nation-building, one in which the university curriculum also benefits from sustained contacts with tribal communities. As Native populations grow and the demand for university training increases, this book will be a valuable resource for Native American leaders, educators in Native American studies, race and ethnic studies, comparative education, minorities in education, anthropology, sociology, higher education administration and educational policy.

More than two hundred years have passed since the Constitution was written, yet Americans still cannot make up their minds whether religion is primarily private, public, or a combination of the two. This collection of essays explores the unsettled --and often unsettling --question of organized religion's role in contemporary public life. Richard N. Ostling reviews religious belief and practice in the United States in a survey of the ever-changing religious landscape, while Robert J. Blendon and others compare the political, moral, and religious values of the 1960s with those of the 1990s. Patrick Glynn and Alan Wolfe examine different religious responses to the recent presidential scandal, and James Q. Wilson, John J. DiIulio Jr., and Ram Cnaan examine the rise of faith-based social programs, including the shift of private funds to social service providers, the role of black churches in the inner city, and social and community work by urban religious congregations. Additional contributors include Taylor Branch, Kurt Schmoke, Cal Thomas, and Peter Wehner.
