El siguiente artículo aborda al Profesorado Técnico de Servicios a la Comunidad en los centros educativos públicos de educación secundaria en la Región de Murcia. En palabras de Paredes (2020) el PTSC es un profesional de la educación y agente dinamizador, sirviendo de puente entre el centro educativo de secundaria, la familia, el alumnado y la sociedad. Los objetivos establecidos en el presente artículo, son: conocer las tareas reales del PTSC y analizar las relaciones coherentes o no, existentes entre las tareas oficialmente reguladas y las que desarrollan los PTSC en la realidad educativa. Debido a las características de la muestra así como a la escasa bibliografía en el tema, se ha optado por una metodología mixta en donde se complementa el uso de cuestionarios, entrevistas y grupo de discusión. Como resultados, entre otros, se ha obtenido que el PTSC en la Región de Murcia ejerce como funciones reuniones y seguimientos con familias, coordinación con Servicios Sociales, colaboración con los tutores y tutoras, control del absentismo escolar, fracaso académico y abandono escolar , y por último, mejora de la convivencia y no violencia. Otro resultado a destacar, es que el 55,7% de los encuestados afirma que hay diferencias entre lo que deberían hacer según la normativa y lo que hacen en la práctica laboral diaria. Para finalizar, como conclusión se puede sintetizar en que las tareas asignadas legalmente y las realizadas en la práctica laboral diaria son coincidentes, aunque con matices, y que estas situaciones son múltiples, diversas y complejas. The following article deals with the Technical Teacher of Community Services in public secondary schools in the Region of Murcia. In the words of Paredes (2020), the PTSC is an educational professional and a dynamic agent, who serves as a bridge between the secondary school, the family, the students and society. The objectives established in this article are: to know the real tasks of the PTSC and to analyse the coherent or non-existent relationships between the officially regulated tasks and those developed by the PTSC in the educational reality. Due to the characteristics of the sample as well as the scarce bibliography on the subject, a mixed methodology has been chosen, complementing the use of questionnaires, interviews and discussion groups. As results, among others, it has been obtained that the PTSC in the Region of Murcia has the following functions: meetings and follow-up with families, coordination with Social Services, collaboration with tutors, control of truancy, school failure and school dropout and, finally, improvement of coexistence and non-violence. Another noteworthy result is that 55.7% of those surveyed stated that there are differences between what they should do according to the regulations and what they do in their daily work practice. Finally, as a conclusion, it can be summarised that the legally assigned tasks and those carried out in daily work practice coincide, although with nuances, and that these situations are multiple, diverse and complex.

The Subject

The family physician is occasionally called into consultation when one of his patients, a hitherto respected citizen, becomes arrested for a sexual offence. In such circumstances the relatives, friends or legal advisers of the accused are often prompted to raise a defence of insanity, mental disorder or defect in answer to the charge. On examination the physician may find such evidence. If not he may regard the patient as being psycho-pathological, but unless he has devoted time to the consideration of the subject, and is also well acquainted with insanity, amentia and border-line states in his daily work, he may not feel sufficient confidence in his general knowledge and medical experience to face with equanimity the prospect of a severe cross-examination in the witness-box on an admittedly difficult and controversial subject. I know the family physician may, in such cases, feel embarrassed, and I propose to attempt to bring before you certain matters for consideration which it seems well to bear in mind when inquiring into the mental condition of persons accused of sexual crime, and which I suggest throw some light upon actions that otherwise appear unusually obscure.

Introduction: The article describes a post-discharge telephone Follow-Up pilot project that was activated in 2018 in the city of Trieste. Methods: The pilot project, in addition to the interception of possible situations of discomfort to be reported to social services and to ensure informative support to guide people to an optimal use of services, aimed to investigate the conditions, 1 and 3 months after discharge, of people not followed by the community services, in particular: a) maintenance of functional capacity; b) self-assessment of the patient with respect to health conditions and level of engagement; c) state of the relationships network; d) use of public, private and/or third sector health or welfare resources. Results and Conclusions: The Telephone Follow-Up has made it possible to experiment a “light” way of taking care of people discharged from a hospital or rehabilitation facility, to intercept situations of discomfort, reporting them to the Local District and social services and facilitating the appropriate use of local assistance services.

Patterns Of Practice

Arguments about the blurring of roles between the members of multidisciplinary community mental health teams and the generic style of intervention within them are well rehearsed. However, an empirical description of the daily work practice of occupational therapists in this field has not yet been attempted. This article presents a study examining the choices made by 12 therapists in the south east of England when working with their clients. Part 1 reports quantifiable findings on intervention media chosen over a 4-week period, drawn from diary data. The results revealed diverse patterns of intervention choices. However, an emphasis on anxiety management chosen 295 times (16% of intervention selections), supportive counselling chosen 348 times (18% of selections) and problem-solving discussion with clients about aspects of their daily lives chosen 255 times (13% of selections) emerged. Follow-up interviews explored each participant's rationale for the patterns of practice highlighted by the diaries, which will be illustrated and discussed in part 2.

Psychotic Features

SummaryA cohort of 120 patients, comprising all those who met the St Louis criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia, discharged from a mental hospital over a five-year period, were followed-up in the community after an interval of five to nine years; 105 were traced and 94 were alive. Of those, 66 were living in UK, out of hospital, and willing to be seen. Their mental states, and social functioning and circumstances were assessed by interview with the patients and those with whom they lived; 18% had recovered to the extent that they had no significant symptoms and appeared to function satisfactorily. More than 50% had definite psychotic features. No patients and few relatives sought a return to hospital care, but severe emotional, social, and financial difficulties were commonplace; 27% of the sample had no contact with medical or social services, a further 14% saw only community nurses, and 24% only their general practitioners. The findings emphasise the limitations of community services in dealing with the chronicity and severity of the impairments resulting from schizophrenic illness.

And Training

The space for debate on the role and tasks of a given profession is one of the factors serving its professionalisation and the creation of professional identity. The opportunity to exchange experiences and obtain informational and emotional support is particularly important in the case of assistance professions, where direct action with the family raises many dilemmas, especially when children are raised by parents, whose behaviour often does not favour their proper development, and even threatens their safety. The subject of the discussion is also the location of social services in relation to each other, coherence of goals, expectations and actions with and for the family. Another issue is the development of a unique work methodology for a given profession, discussing the perspectives and threats to its development. Family assistants have the forum to exchange experiences, integrate, broaden knowledge and strengthen competences. They are annual national meetings. The purpose of this study is to describe the organization and subject matter of these meetings for family assistants.

AbstractIn memory of Professor Louise Marcil, from the University of Montreal, who died prematurely in April 1995, this special issue of Dialogue is dedicated to Equality. In addition to presenting the various contributions, the Introduction traces the main strands of Louise Marcil's work on equality. The impressive corpus of her writings on the subject is characterized throughout by sensitivity to the historical and conceptual complexity of egalitarian theories and policies and by a depth of scholarship, the richness of which defies classification into traditional philosophical schools. Moreover, far from being merely abstract scholarship, this work was clearly intended to strengthen actual egalitarian social projects, to which Louise Marcil was passionately committed. The contributions to this special issue of Dialogue have been selected in large part to reflect the diversity and scholarly standards of Louise Marcil's approach to equality as well as its engaged spirit.After a short personal testimony by Jean-Claude Guidon, from the University of Montreal, Charles Coutel presents Condorcet as an original thinker of democratic equality. Paule-Monique Vernes argues in favour of seeing Hegel as the first philosopher who, before Marx, engaged in an in-depth analysis of the contradictions of the Civil Society and denounced the inequalities stemming from liberalism. Roberto Miguelez discusses equality among participants as a formal condition for action coordination based on dialogue, which is crucial to the democratic model.Brenda Baker addresses a current trend by governments to shift responsibility for social services to the family. Among the deficiencies in grounds for such policies, she argues, are that they reinforce gendered inequalities. In his article, Kai Nielsen stengthens pro-egalitarian dimensions of John Rawls's theories by articulating a more sophisticated criterion of “reasonableness” than is found in Rawls's work. Analogously, Maurice Rickard defends Ronald Dworkin's link between liberty and equality, but argues that Dworkin's justification for this is insufficient, requiring, instead, a defence in terms of personal autonomy.

At the request of the Family Welfare Association of America Membership Committee, Mr. Swift has prepared this interpretation as Part I of the Association's “Interpretation of Membership Requirements,” and has carefully revised it on the basis of comments from the Membership Committee and others in the field. It is greatly condensed from material he has developed during the past five or six years in discussion groups throughout the country, and in this abbreviated form it necessarily omits much that is essential to a full treatment of the subject. It is published here because of its possible usefulness in local discussions of social case work program, regardless of Association membership.

The Subject

Various studies on gender violence emphasize the greater rootedness of patriarchal culture in rural society compared to other types of societies. This rural society is characterized by its greater masculinization and tradition, which makes it difficult to perceive and recognize macho behaviour. The violence which is the subject of this study represents a scourge which is suffered by a large sector of the female population, leaving serious economic, social, psychological and family consequences which are profound and painful, and which it is very difficult to overcome on many occasions. During the time that the author who signs this document stayed in the district of Alhama de Granada as a social worker, it became clear that there were few resources available to combat gender violence and to educate the population in this rural area. The daily life of women, and especially those who suffer from male violence in particular, is conditioned and limited by the situation of isolation, the deficit of social services, social control and pressure, stigmatisation and the family structure (close and/or extended).

Family Nurse Partnership

Background The short-term effectiveness (to 24 months post partum) of a preventative home-visiting intervention, the Family Nurse Partnership, was previously assessed in the Building Blocks trial (BB:0–2). Objectives The objectives were to establish the medium-term effectiveness of the Family Nurse Partnership in reducing maltreatment and improving maternal health (second pregnancies) and child health, developmental and educational outcomes (e.g. early educational attendance, school readiness); to explore effect moderators and mediators; and to describe the costs of enhancing usually provided health and social care with the Family Nurse Partnership. Design Children and their mothers from an existing trial cohort were followed up using routine data until the child was 7 years of age. Setting This study was set in 18 partnerships between local authorities and health-care organisations in England. Participants The participants were mothers [and their firstborn child(ren)] recruited as pregnant women aged ≤ 19 years, in local authority Family Nurse Partnership catchment areas, at < 25 weeks’ gestation, able to provide consent and able to converse in English. Participants mandatorily withdrawn (e.g. owing to miscarriage) from the BB:0–2 trial were excluded. Interventions The intervention comprised up to a maximum of 64 home visits by specially trained family nurses from early pregnancy until the firstborn child was 2 years of age, plus usually provided health and social care support. The comparator was usual care alone. Main outcome measures The primary outcome measure was child-in-need status recorded at any time during follow-up. The secondary outcomes were as follows: (1) referral to social services, child protection registration (plan), child-in-need categorisation, looked-after status, recorded injuries and ingestions at any time during follow-up; (2) early child care and educational attendance, school readiness (Early Years Foundation Stage Profile score) and attainment at Key Stage 1; and (3) health-care costs. Data sources The following data sources were used: maternally reported baseline and follow-up data (BB:0–2), Hospital Episode Statistics data (NHS Digital), social care and educational data (National Pupil Database) and abortions data (Department of Health and Social Care). Results There were no differences between study arms in the rates of referral to social services, being registered as a child in need, receiving child protection plans, entering care or timing of first referral for children subsequently assessed as in need. There were no differences between study arms in rates of hospital emergency attendance, admission for injuries or ingestions, or in duration of stay for admitted children. Children in the Family Nurse Partnership arm were more likely to achieve a good level of development at reception age (school readiness), an effect strengthened when adjusting for birth month. Differences at Key Stage 1 were not statistically different, but, after adjusting for birth month, children in the Family Nurse Partnership arm were more likely to reach the expected standard in reading. Programme effects were greater for boys (Key Stage 1: writing); children of younger mothers (Key Stage 1: writing, Key Stage 1: mathematics); and children of mothers not in employment, education or training at study baseline (Key Stage 1: writing). There were no differences between families who were part of the Family Nurse Partnership and those who were not for any other outcome. The differences between study arms in resource use and costs were negligible. Limitations The outcomes are constrained to those available from routine sources. Conclusions There is no observable benefit of the programme for maltreatment or maternal outcomes, but it does generate advantages in school readiness and attainment at Key Stage 1. Future work The trajectory of longer-term programme benefits should be mapped using routine and participant-reported measures.
