Substance Use in Social Work Education and Training Preparing and supporting practice

Substance Use in Social Work Education and Training Preparing and supporting practice

Substance use has become an increasingly common concern for all aspects of social work practice and especially when working with mental health and vulnerable families. This requires all social workers to have sufficient education and training in alcohol and other drugs across a range of settings. This volume presents evidence from a number of major studies which examine the current state of social work education in relation to substance use. These contextual considerations are complemented by specific applied analyses which explore classroom methodological practice and theoretical considerations within both the UK and America. Substance Use in Social Work Education and Training provides a strong evidence base for the effectiveness of appropriately-targeted education and support given to social workers. It further substantiates calls for a greater inclusion of more on substance use in social work education and curricula. This book is based on a special issue of the journal Social Work Education. | Substance Use in Social Work Education and Training Preparing and supporting practice

Architecture and the Unconscious

Architecture and the Unconscious

There are a number of recent texts that draw on psychoanalytic theory as an interpretative approach for understanding architecture or that use the formal and social logics of architecture for understanding the psyche. But there remains work to be done in bringing what largely amounts to a series of independent voices into a discourse that is greater than the sum of its parts in the way that say the architect Peter Eisenman was able to do with the architecture of deconstruction or that the historian Manfredo Tafuri was able to do with the Marxist critique of architecture. The discourse of the present volume focuses specifically for the first time on the subject of the unconscious in relation to the design perception and understanding of architecture. It brings together an international group of contributors who provide informed and varied points of view on the role of the unconscious in architectural design and theory and in doing so expand architectural theory to unexplored areas enriching architecture in relation to the humanities. The book explores how architecture engages dreams desires imagination memory and emotions how architecture can appeal to a broader scope of human experience and identity. Beginning by examining the historical development of the engagement of the unconscious in architectural discourse and the current and historical theoretical and practical intersections of architecture and psychoanalysis the volume also analyses the city and the urban condition. | Architecture and the Unconscious

Innovation and Global Competitiveness Case of India's Manufacturing Sector

Innovation and Global Competitiveness Case of India's Manufacturing Sector

In the post-liberalization period India has slowly but steadily tried to foster innovation to improve competitive efficiency of Indian manufacturing and thus boost global competitiveness of the industrial sector. Foreign direct investment was looked upon as a major source of technology paradigm shift; in recent times industrial firms have been investing overseas even in countries to which they used to export based on their technological capabilities. Firms in Indian manufacturing industries have also attempted to bring about technological upgrades through imports of design and drawings (disembodied technology) against lump sum royalty and technical knowhow fees and imports of capital machinery (embodied technology) where the technology is embodied in the capital good itself. This volume comprises empirical contributions on this emerging phenomenon on a range of issues including the role of R&D; mergers acquisitions and technological efforts; technological determinants of competitive advantages; the role of small and medium enterprises and regional patterns; technological efforts and global operations; and the role of industrial clusters in promoting innovation and competitiveness. This book was originally published as a special issue of Innovation and Development. | Innovation and Global Competitiveness Case of India's Manufacturing Sector

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Conversations about rehabilitation and how to address the drugs-crime nexus have been dominated by academics and policymakers without due recognition of the experience and knowledge of practitioners. Not enough is known about the cultures and conditions in which rehabilitation occurs. Why is it that significant numbers of practitioners are leaving the alcohol and other drugs field while disproportionate numbers of criminal justice practitioners are on leave? Rehabilitation Work provides a unique insight into what happens behind the closed doors of prisons probation and parole offices drug rehabs and recovery support services drawing on research from Australia. This book is among the first to provide a dedicated empirical examination of the interface between the concurrent processes of desistance from crime and recovery from substance misuse and the implications for rehabilitation work. Hannah Graham uses practitioner interviews workforce data and researcher observations to reveal compelling differences between official accounts of rehabilitation work and what practitioners actually do in practice. Practitioners express a desire to be the change rather than being subject to change actively co-producing progressive reforms instead of passively coping with funding cutbacks and interagency politics. Applied examples of how practitioners collaborate lead and innovate in the midst of challenging work are complemented with evocative illustrations of insider humour and professional resilience. This book is a key resource for students academics and practitioners across fields including criminology and criminal justice social work psychology counselling and addiction treatment. | Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Drawn from a lifetime’s experience of shared city-making from the bottom up within rapidly expanding urban metabolisms in Delhi Mumbai Agra Kathmandu West Africa and London Loose Fit City is about the ways in which city residents can learn through making to engage with the dynamic process of creating their own city. It looks at the nature and processes involved in loosely fitting together elements made by different people at different scales and times with different intentions into a civic entity which is greater than the sum of its parts. It shows how bottom-up learning through making can create a more vibrant and democratic city than the more flattened top-down centrally planned factory made version. Loose Fit City provides a new take on the subject of architecture defined as the study and practice of fitting together physical and cultural topography. It provides a comprehensive view of how the fourth dimension of time fits loosely together with the three spatial dimensions at different scales within the human horizon so as to layer meaning and depth within the places and metabolism of the city fabric. | Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

This book bridges theoretical gaps that exist between the meta-concepts of memory place and identity by positioning its lens on the emplaced practices of commemoration and the remembrance of war and conflict.

Contributions seek to clarify how we connect with memories and places of war and conflict.

This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective with insights from history memory studies social psychology cultural and urban geography to contextualise memories of war and their ‘use’ by national governments perpetrators victims and in family histories. | Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Stephen K. Medvic’s Campaigns and Elections is a comprehensive yet compact core text that addresses two distinct but related aspects of American electoral democracy: the processes that constitute campaigns and elections and the players who are involved. In addition to balanced coverage of process and actors it gives equal billing to both campaigns and elections and covers contests for legislative and executive positions at the national state and local levels including issue-oriented campaigns of note. The book opens by providing students with the conceptual distinctions between what happens in an election and the campaigning that precedes it. Significant attention is devoted to setting up the context for these campaigns and elections by covering the rules of the game in the American electoral system as well as aspects of election administration and the funding of elections. Then the book systematically covers the actors at every level—candidates and their organizations parties interest groups the media and voters—and the macro-level aspects of campaigns such as campaign strategy and determinants of election outcomes. The book concludes with a big-picture assessment of campaign ethics and implications of the permanent campaign. New to the Fourth Edition: • Fully updated through the 2020 elections looking ahead to the 2022 midterms • Covers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 election as well as the January 6 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol • Adds new sections in Chapter 3 on election integrity and the assessment of election administration • Reviews recent Supreme Court cases on gerrymandering and faithless electors • Expands coverage of social media as a source of news of the increasingly partisan nature of the media and of the role of media fact-checking in campaigns and elections • Reorganizes the chapters on the various actors so that the chapter on candidates leads directly to the chapter on campaigns • Fully updates the resources listed at the end of each chapter | Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue

Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue

Trust distrust and conflict between social groups have existed throughout the history of humankind although their forms have changed. Using three main concepts: culture representation and dialogue this book explores and re-thinks some of these changes in relation to concrete historical and contemporary events. Part I offers a symbolic and historical analysis of trust and distrust while Parts II and III examine trust distrust and conflict in specific events including the Cyprus conflict Estonian collective memories coping with HIV/AIDS in China Swedish asylum seekers the Cuban missile crisis and Stalinist confessions. With an impressive array of international contributors the chapters draw on a number of key concepts such as self and other ingroup and outgroup contact between groups categorization brinkmanship knowledge beliefs and myth. Trust and Conflict offers a fresh perspective on the problems that arise from treating trust distrust and conflict as simplified indicators. Instead it proposes that human and social sciences can view these phenomena within the complex matrix of interacting perspectives and meta-perspectives that characterise the social world. As such it will be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates and lecturers of human and social sciences especially social psychology sociology political science and communication studies. | Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue
