Item Book Review: Morris, A. D. (1984). The origins of the civil rights movement: Black communities organizing for change. New York: The Free Press.(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2007) Pilkinton, Melinda W.Although Mr. Morris’ work is more than two decades old, it remains a definitive chronicle of the history of the African American Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Mr. Morris researched archival records and conducted personal interviews with forty-nine significant personalities of this movement to document the story. The depth of his research is admirable. In this book, the story of civil rights is told for posterity. The rich details augment the telling of the history and, in part, serve to correct some of the previously held erroneous beliefs about the movement. Within and beyond the details lie incredible stories of courage, persistence, sacrifice, honor, pride, and evidence of such moral responsibility that one is inspired by the actors. Additionally, the author critiqued the movement based on three theories: classical collective behavior theory, the theory of charismatic movements, and the resource mobilization theory. The theories provided a framework for both positive and negative comparisons.Item PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL WORK VOLUME 5 (Spring 2007)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2007) Dulin, Agnes; McGovern, Justine; Beaulieu, Elise; Becerra, David; Cabin, William D.; Hill, Larry E.; Beaty, Darla D.; Pilkinton, Melinda W.; Gentle-Genitty, Carolyn S.; Lucero, Nancy M.; Russell, Amy; Griffin-Garcia, Jack; Small, Eusebius; Lopez, Kara; McIver, Saralyn; Epstein, Maxine W.This is the full-text volume of Perspectives on Social Work, vol. 5 (Spring 2007).Item PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL WORK VOLUME 6 (FALL 2007)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2007) Small, Eusebius; Cavel, Kara A.; Hayes, Jane; Baldridge, Stephen N.; Cabin, William D.; Deka, Ankita; Wesley, Julia M.; Pilkinton, Melinda W.; Quinn, Camille R.This is the full-text volume of Perspectives on Social Work, vol. 6 (Fall 2007)Item Self-in-Relation Theory: A Model for Helping(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2007) Pilkinton, Melinda W.Self-in-relation theory was first proposed by women researchers at Wellesley College’s Stone Center in 1991 (Jordan, Kaplan, Miller, Stiver, & Surrey, 1991). Self-in-relation theory evolved as a collaborative effort based on research regarding women’s psychological development (Jordan, et al., 1991). Previous researchers had begun to define women’s dysfunctional reactions to societal pressures such as expectations that one “be a good wife” and fulfill expected gender roles according to gender specific norms (Jack, 1987; Stiver & Miller, Copyright University of Houston, 2006 29 1988; Strauss, 1988). These researchers posited that women experience conflict based on the friction between norms and expected gender role functioning vs. their personal needs. This friction, as posited by the researchers, led to depression and other dysfunctional responses (Stiver & Miller, 1988).
