The NEATS is a child and family assessment that focuses on five areas that research has established as fundamental to child... More > development and development over the life course. These areas are neurobiology, executive function, attachment, trauma, and self regulation. The title NEATS draws from the first letter of each of the five areas.

The goal of a NEATS assessment is the development of case plans characterized by interventions that build on client strengths. To do so, practitioners identify risks and adversities as well as resources, competencies, strengths, and resilience processes in the multiple ecologies in which children and their families live their lives. The result is a case plan that uses resources to help manage risk and adversities and thus to promote optimal child and family functioning. < Less

This purpose of this paper is to place evidence-based practice (EBP) within its wider scholarly contexts and to draw lessons... More > from the experiences of other professions that are engaged in implementing it. The analysis is based primarily on evidence-based medicine, the parent discipline of evidence-based practice, but I also draw upon evidence-based nursing and evidence-based social work in the United Kingdom.
I found that the experiences of other practice professions have a great deal to offer social work practice. Like medicine, nursing, and our British colleagues, U.S. social work practice will benefit from increased research activity, more wide-spread availability of reviews of research, on-line resources, and many more training opportunities.
Like nursing administrators, social work administrators have the responsibility to allow social worker practitioners the time to become familiar with research relevant to their practice < Less

This book is based on what the author learned about unkind deeds and cover-ups in her research on violence. She saw it many... More > times--people do terrible things and then they try to cover up through blame, humor, name-calling, indignation, acting innocent, or threatening to abandon.

THROUGH POETRY, Jane Gilgun tells the story of one woman's life. Born in coastal Rhode Island, USA, Jane galloped Sadie... More > Cummings, a race horse, on Narragansett Beach, tramped through the Spring Woods, and found beauty, mystery, and hurt in the people and events in her life. She shows how the themes of childhood weave themselves into her life as a horsewoman, a nature enthusiast, a woman in love, a social worker, a violence researcher, and a seeker of the spiritual.

Written in imagist, lyric, and narrative styles, these poems convey the rhythms of a life fully lived--the sharp, sometimes painful intrusions of beauty, the transcendence of erotic love, the fears and intrigue of bodily changes, the horror of violence, and the warmth and comfort of everyday life. < Less
