Demands Of Illness

The family can be a help or a hindrance to the client during the rehabilitation process. This article identifies three roles for the rehabilitation counselor when working with families. Challenged by the demands of illness and disability, each is presented in the context of how the counselor can maximize the resources of the family which will facilitate, in turn, the rehabilitation of a family member. Recognizing the need for intensified education in the areas of the family and rehabilitation, this article also discusses a course which was developed by the authors to increase the knowledge and skills of rehabilitation counselors when utilizing the resources of the family during the rehabilitation process.

The Individual

Rehabilitation counselors usually focus their efforts upon the individual client. They fail to view him or her as part of a social network -- the family. Disability causes economic, social and emotional changes within the family. These changes may upset family stability and inhibit client adjustment and rehabilitation. The family must be viewed as a vital support system for the client, and their impact on rehabilitation should be evaluated. When it is necessary, counselors must design ways to intervene with the family. Family adjustment and treatment are rehabilitation issues, and they deserve consideration in the rehabilitation process.

Renal Transplant Patients

Renal transplantation is one of the most common forms of transplantation performed today. The rehabilitation counselor may provide an important role in the rehabilitation of persons that have gone through renal transplantation. For example, the rehabilitation counselor can provide information on the effects of experiencing a chronic illness and provide information on the changes in the family as a result of the chronic illness. However, if the rehabilitation counselor is to be helpful to renal transplant patients they must be knowledgeable about the renal transplantation process. In this article we address the renal transplantation process including: the medical aspects, functional limitations, psychological implications and finally vocational implications as they relate to the rehabilitation counselor.

Two Factors

This study investigated factors relevant to parental alliance using the Parental Alliance Measure (PAM) with parents of children with disabilities. A total of 139 parents of children with disabilities participated in the study. Using multiple regression two factors were examined as relevant to parental alliance: satisfaction with the partnership and percent of caregiving provided by the other partner. Findings showed that parents who perceived a strong relationship with their partner and those who perceived their partner contributing a greater percent of caregiving for the child or children with disabilities in the family had a stronger parental alliance. Rehabilitation counselors may use the PAM with families to understand parenting dynamics, develop strategies, and increase involvement in the rehabilitation process.

Culturally Disadvantaged

The purpose of this study was to compare rehabilitation counselor time utilization for medically-disabled and culturally-disadvantaged clients. Two research questions were: Is there a significant difference in the time spent on counseling services? Is there a significant difference in the number of counseling contacts required between the two handicapped groups? First, the researchers found that rehabilitation counselors spent similar amounts of time in providing counseling services and in related activities for medically-disabled and culturally-disadvantaged clients; but counselors spent significantly more time withculturaIly-disadvantaged clients. Apparently the culturally disadvantaged seemed to require a redistribution of total time. Counselors made about the same number of contacts for both handicap groups. Thus, the results indicated that culturally-disadvantaged clients, as a group, do not require additional or markedly different counseling functions and can be easily included in the traditional vocational rehabilitation process without major role changes. They do, however, appear to require more time in a one-to-one relationship with the counselor.

Counseling Profession

The majority of rehabilitation counselors practicing today specialize. They specialize in working with individuals with a particular type of disability, in some specific aspect of the rehabilitation process, or in a specialized rehabilitation-related work setting. This growth of specialization, and a concurrent lack of adaptation by the professional rehabilitation counseling organizations, has resulted in fragmentation and splintering of the rehabilitation counseling profession. Suggestions for unifying the rehabilitation counseling profession are presented.

Csr Engagement

The objective of this paper is to find the relationship between family firms’ CSR engagement and their non-family member employees’ organisational identification. Drawing upon the existing literature on social identity theory, corporate social responsibility and family firms, the author proposes that family firms engage actively in CSR programs in a balanced manner to increase non-family member employees’ organisational identification. The findings of the research suggest that by developing and implementing balanced CSR programs, and actively getting engaged in CSR activities, family firms may help their non-family member employees better identify themselves with the firms. The article points out that due to unbalanced CSR resource allocation, family firms face the problem of inefficient CSR program implementation, and are suggested to switch alternatively to an improved scheme. Family firms may be advised to take corresponding steps to select right employees, communicate better with non-family member employees, use resources better and handle firms’ succession problems efficiently. The paper extends employees’ identification and CSR research into the family firm research domain and points out some drawbacks in family firms’ CSR resource allocation while formerly were seldom noticed.

Entrepreneurship is the choice of women to be able to work to help the family economy and cooperatives is one of its manifestations. Cooperatives are one of the real forms of Pancasila practice. To support the advancement of cooperatives, there needs to be entrepreneurial dissemination to cooperative members, especially women. Women's cooperatives have distinctive characteristics that are different from cooperatives in general so that they require a different development strategy approach. This cannot be separated from the characteristics of its members who are dominated by housewives which causes its own superiority compared to other cooperatives.

The suicide of a loved one can be a traumatic experience. The objective of this study was to investigate trauma-related experiences of suicide survivors. This is a qualitative study with people who had recently lost a family member or a close one to suicide, conducted at least two months after the event. Forty-one participants agreed to take part in the study and were interviewed. The interviewees' perception was that suicide brought harm, symptoms, and suffering. Traumatic experiences can begin immediately after the event, with many reporting symptoms lasting many months and persistent impact, both personal and to the family. Postvention models after suicide should incorporate such findings, and investigate trauma consistently.

The family training program at the Western Blind Rehabilitation Center is an integral part of the rehabilitation process for adventitiously blinded and low vision adults. An exploratory study was conducted to assess which aspects of the training were most outstanding and to inquire how the program affected interpersonal relations and attitudes towards sight loss. Results showed a marked reduction in stated problems immediately after the training and over a three-and-a-half-year period of time. The study demonstrates similar benefits for older family members, those receiving shortened programs, and those who have been living with sight loss for many years.
