Challenges of Living

A Multidimensional Working Model for Social Workers

By: Elizabeth D. Hutchison,Holly C. Matto,Marcia P. Harrigan,Leanne W. Charlesworth,Pamela A. Viggiani

This timely text draws on interdisciplinary theory and research to examine the multidimensional risk and protective factors for eight challenges of living frequently encountered by social workers. The authors provide a working model for social workers to integrate the most up-to-date evidence about challenges of living they face in their daily practice. Using a multidimensional biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective, the book examines etiology, course, and intervention strategies related to these eight challenges of living. Key Features Examines exemplar challenges of living: The working model is applied to eight major problems commonly encountered by social workers—financial impoverishment; community violence; child maltreatment; traumatic stress disorders; substance abuse; obesity; HIV/AIDS; and major depression. Presents a range of theories of causation: The book provides up-to-date and accessible coverage of biological risk and protective factors and emphasizes how each challenge of living is experienced across diverse identity groups. Makes the material come alive: Four life studies are woven throughout chapters to illustrate theory and research. Promotes critical thinking: Active Learning Exercises help students integrate knowledge about the case, knowledge about the self, and values and ethics with general knowledge from the behavioral sciences. Intended Audience This is an excellent supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in social work and counseling such as Human Behavior in the Social Environment and Social Work Prevention. Since the book offers an interdisciplinary perspective, it may also be of interest to those in the psychology, public health, and allied health disciplines.

To Keep the Republic

Thinking, Talking, and Acting Like a Democratic Citizen

By: Elizabeth C. Matto

American democracy is at an inflection point. With voting rights challenged, election results undermined, and even the US Capitol violently attacked, many Americans feel powerless to save their nation’s democratic institutions from the forces dismantling them. Yet, as founders like Benjamin Franklin knew from the start, the health of America’s democracy depends on the actions its citizens are willing to take to preserve it. To Keep the Republic is a wake-up call about the responsibilities that come with being a citizen in a participatory democracy. It describes the many ways that individuals can make a difference on both local and national levels—and explains why they matter. Political scientist Elizabeth C. Matto highlights the multiple facets of democratic citizenship, identifies American democracy’s sometimes competing values and ideals, and explains how civic engagement can take various forms, including political conversation. Combining political philosophy with concrete suggestions for how to become a more engaged citizen, To Keep the Republic reminds us that democracy is not a spectator sport; it only works when we get off the sidelines and enter the political arena to make our voices heard.
