This article is part one of a two-part series on human development and adversity. The author presents a conceptual framework combining developmental psychopathology and its associated concepts of resilience, protective factors, and risk factors with social work's ecological, phenomenological, and strengths-based approach. Separately, each framework has its strengths and weaknesses. Together, these frameworks provide a comprehensive and detailed view of human development that has major implications for practice, programs, and policy. Part two presents the results of research demonstrating how the integrated framework elucidates developmental processes under adverse conditions. This research identified three models of human development under adverse conditions: the model of the wounded well, the social-deficits model, and the social-assets model.

A população idosa composta por lésbicas, gays, bissexuais e transgêneros (LGBT) vem aumentando nas últimas décadas não somente pela redução da mortalidade na infância e vida adulta, mas pelo melhor acesso aos serviços de saúde (Kimmel, 2015). Apesar dos avanços das leis que garantem iguais direitos as pesssoas de diferentes orientações sexuais, as pessoas idosas LGBT ainda é uma categoria pouco visível entre os pesquisadores da Geriatria e da Gerontologia. Deste modo, a presente resenha apresentará o livro “The lives of LGBT older adults: understanding challenges and resilience” que foi organizando pelas pesquisadoras americanas Nancy A. Orel (Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH) e a Christine A. Fruhauf (Department of Human Development & Family Studies, Colorado State University), trata-se de uma publicação pioneira e alvissareira que busca preencher a escassez de publicações versando sobre a velhice e o processo de envelhecimento das pessoas LGBT.

The purpose of this paper is to share our experiences involving a creative approach to service learning that was implemented in a Human Development and Family Studies graduate course. In our departmental pursuit of evolving scholarship and promoting scholarly teaching and learning (Kopera-Frye, Hilton, & Cavote, 2003), this course represents an example of how one can promote higher-level learning among our future professionals. This service learning approach utilized in this particular course focuses on needs assessment and program evaluation, a direction not usually found in typical service learning projects that involve a social volunteerism approach. By discussing the theoretical basis for the project, course format, and providing some qualitative/evaluative data, we will contribute to the knowledge base on innovative ways to promote scholarly learning. Challenges and issues that need to be anticipated before designing this type of service learning experience will be highlighted.

Deductive Research

The origins of human culture and the foundation of freedom can be traced back to the religious nature of the species. Human ability to create an entirely worldly one, separate from the great synthesis, came only after a long period of experimentation and thought. Certainly, this is seen as a positive development in the current conception of culture and its historical context. Today, it is being debated whether the detachment of human work-from science to morality to education to the state to economics to art-from religious connections and connections has been beneficial both to culture itself and to human personality progress in the direction of higher concrete achievements and human development. The author utilized deductive reasoning to create a link between religion and the aspects of culture and the foundations of freedom in this research work, which uses a qualitative technique based on a deductive research methodology.
