Sexual Conduct

MSW and BSW members of NASW in one state were surveyed to assess their attitudes about sexual contact with clients and their perceptions about their training and education in this area. Both groups were found to be critical of sexual conduct between social workers and clients and would take action if they became aware of sexual contact between a colleague and a client. The study found over 90 percent of BSWs reporting a moderate or significant level of course content in ethics in one or more courses, compared with 71 percent of MSWs. The authors suggest that more research is needed in order to adequately determine training and attitudes among BSWs and MSWs in the area of sexual ethics.

Social Tensions

School education is progressively becoming a social question and not only a matter of pedagogic nature. The increase of the diversity of the audience present in the school has brought forth policies and differentiating school responses which aim to build a “school for all”. In this paper we seek to understand how the growing social tensions which are observed in the form of indiscipline at school are managed, whether towards other social professionals or only towards teachers. This paper presents a comparative study between three educational contexts which comprise socio-pedagogic mediation practices: Educational Context of Early Intervention (Território Educativo de Intervenção Prioritária - TEIP) and two Support Offices for Students and their Families (Gabinetes de Apoio ao Aluno e à Família - GAAF). In the three cases, there are senior social workers (técnicos superiores de trabalho social - TSTS), social educators, youth workers and social assistants who work with teachers on a daily basis. The research done in this paper focuses mainly on the teachers’ opinion concerning the emergence of these new professions and their socio-pedagogic contribution in the school.

Three Phases

This article presents a conversation analytic examination of a telephone call in which a teenage girl updates her friend about developments in a relationship. The telling is in three phases, from initial reluctance, through first kiss to first sexual contact. Drawing on the notion of lower and upper bounded tellability, I analyse the talk for what is constructed as tellable and as taboo. Eminently tellable, the kiss is a directly named activity, details are sought, and it is assessed in a delighted way. In contrast, the sexual activity is not named and instead is referred to as ‘stuff’. The details of ‘stuff’ are not pursued, and the activity is assessed with (playful) disapproval. The telling speaks to normative gendered sexual expectations for teenage girls in the UK. In talking about personal experience of sexual conduct but without talking in any detail, these speakers position themselves as morally respectable.

The aims and objectives of this article are to present the first survey ever conducted in Cyprus of the views and perceptions that Cypriots have of old age. In particular, the researchers, Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot social workers, wanted to explore the issue of ageism within the two Cypriot communities, the Greek-Cypriot (Greek-speaking) and the Turkish-Cypriot (Turkish-speaking) populations. Against all odds, the two social workers, one from each community, began collaborating towards the exploration and comparison of social issues in the two Cypriot ethnic communities. Because the two communities have been forced to live separately since 1974, researchers aimed to investigate whether this long separation affected their views on old age. The study was also run online, and the survey was designed with the use of Google Forms. Although the results of the study are not significantly different between the two communities, the current survey explores the preservation of common cultural and social views and values among the two ethnic communities, despite their forced separation.

Se analizó la influencia del sentido de comunidad en la adaptación biopsicosocial de latinoamericanos residentes en la ciudad de Málaga, España. La muestra la formaron 34 personas de origen latinoamericano a las que se le hicieron dos mediciones en un intervalo de 18 meses. Se desarrolló un estudio comparativo prospectivo longitudinal de carácter aproximativo, en el que se compararon las relaciones entre las variables en función del tiempo de residencia previo en Málaga (menos/más de un año) y el efecto del paso del tiempo. Las dimensiones del sentido de comunidad se relacionaron consistentemente con las variables de adaptación biopsicosocial contempladas y se observó un cambio positivo en las variables de adaptación para ambos grupos. Se presentan implicaciones para la práctica y la capacitación de los/as trabajadores/as sociales y para la mejora de las políticas públicas, evidenciándose las potencialidades del Trabajo Social Comunitario en este ámbito.The influence of the sense of community on biopsychosocial adaptation of Latin Americans living in the city of Malaga, Spain, was analyzed. The sample consisted of 34 people of Latin American origin and two measurement were carried out in an interval of 18 months. An approximate longitudinal prospective comparative study was developed. The relationships between the variables were compared according to the length of time of residence in Malaga (less/more than one year) and the effect of the passage of time. The results showed that the dimensions of sense of community were consistently related to the biopsychosocial adaptation variables analyzed in this study and a positive change was observed in the adaptation variables for both groups. Implications for practice and training of social workers and public policies improvements are considered, revealing the potential of Community Social Work in this area.
