Rooted in Strengths: Celebrating the Strengths Perspective in Social Work

In this chapter, we describe the inherent tension that exists between the pursuit of fidelity and organizations’ need to adapt the Strengths Model to meet their local contexts. We highlight the benefits and challenges that staff experienced as a result of two structural adaptations made to the model, and we offer concrete recommendations for practitioners interested in implementing the Strengths Model in complex organizational settings.

Predicting Recidivism Among Domestic Offenders: Examining the Interconnectedness Between Program Participation, Gender, and Family-of-Origin Issues

The findings demonstrate the need to move away from a standard “one-size-fits-all” approach and highlight the importance of considering participants’ gender and family-of-origin issues as part of domestic violence programming.
