The study also predicted that cousins would have higher levels of discontentment and there would be no difference in levels of life satisfaction no matter based on kinship. These hypotheses were supported in that participants reported lower levels of discontentment than life satisfaction, which had a significant difference. Participants who reported low levels of discontentment revealed dissatisfaction with their life or situation. However, a loved one incarcerated did have a differential impact of discontentment based on kinship, but levels of life satisfaction did not indicate statistically significant difference based on …show more content…

It is also essential for social work professions to become knowledgeable of the criminal justice system, since imprisonment is increasing especially in the African American community. Social workers and the working profession should be able to provide evidence based practice with this population. Using evidence based practice along with the individual preferences can help improve the delivery of treatment and services (Evidence-based practice, 2010). Because families and children mental health are overlooked when faced with an incarcerated family member, social workers should be able to advocate through policymakers, legislation, state, and federal level. This can be done through educational classes on self-care, stress management and signs of declining mental health status. Current literature lacked these elements, but rather focused on financial stability of the mother----although important----and the father’s

    Moreover, this is because, “women are more likely to have a relational orientation than men” (Campos, Aquilera, Ullman, & Schetter, 2014, p. 192). Women are usually the ones that maintain the family bonds and benefit more of the closeness and support from the family. Nevertheless, women still feel more compromised of keeping the bond, and if an issue surges they are more likely to stress due to the conflict (Campos, Aquilera, Ullman, & Schetter, 2014). • Around the world, it appears familism is coming to an end. What are the economic, political and cultural implications of the changes underway in the traditional family unit?

  • Incarcerated Women In Prisons

    A 2006 study supported the notion that greater exposure to childhood adverse situations were associated with behavioral problems as well as mental health problems (Daniel, 2007). Incarcerated women have a higher incidence of mental health disorders than the general population. For example, 12 percent of females in the general population have symptoms of a mental health disorder compared to 73 percent of females in state prison, 61 percent in federal prisons, and 75 percent in local jails (Daniel, 2007). Most incarcerated women do not receive treatment or assistance for these problems and are unlikely to meet goals of mental stability without the help of prison resources. Incarcerated women who have a mental health issue are unlikely to benefit from treatment programs so they usually don’t even bother because studies have shown the women who did receive treatment still engaged in behaviors that led to incarceration, implying that the current treatment programs are not

  • Empowerment Theory In Social Work

    1508 Words  | 7 Pages

    Modern social workers are frequently tasked with certain objectives by their agencies, which leave little room for any work beyond specific treatments and timeframes (Gitterman & Knight, 2016). Although social workers are bound to the set of ethics put forth by the NASW, practitioners are often limited to focusing on the issues of the individual rather than the larger societal issues that may be behind those concerns. Additionally, many social work students end up working in direct practice, rather than macro work. There is a need for social workers to engage at the macro level in order to facilitate community organization and empowerment. Critics suggest this theory may not take into account the unique experiences of each individual and perhaps key characteristics of the individual or group are not taken into consideration (Sadan, 1997).
