The author focused on shame in adolescents and explored ways in which social work practitioners understand and treat shame during the “identity versus role confusion” stage of development. While definitions of shame vary across the scholarly literature, many of them include similar elements. Morrison (2011) defines shame as “a negative feeling about the state of the whole self, a noxious conviction that the self is bad, defective, a failure” and emphasizes the pervasive sense of self-condemnation (p. 25). Recurring themes and therapeutic approaches for managing shame in the therapeutic context are reviewed and summarized. The findings of this scoping study suggest that while the preponderance of the literature points towards the importance of addressing shame and its associated psychopathologies within the therapeutic context, there are few scholarly works that address how to reduce shame in a psychotherapy context and none that present data from studies whose designs were experimental. This paper calls for developing an evidence-based body of research into how best to treat shame in psychotherapy settings. Implications for social work practice, education, and research are discussed.Item Passive Abuse: A Conceptual Framework for Attachment Theory and Adolescents(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2007) Baldridge, Stephen N.The link between attachment, parental involvement and childhood behavioral outcomes has been studied at length, specifically as it relates to adjustment and success later in life. Due to the implications that early childhood behavioral difficulties and development have on later adulthood success (Fronstin, Greenberg, & Robins, 2005), it is important that attention is given to the issues surrounding familial attachment and caregiver interactions. In order to develop appropriate theories and treatment specific to this subject, research must continue to focus around the caregiver/child relationship, the variables that affect the level of attachment, and the variables that influence that attachment.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 PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL WORK VOLUME 9 (FALL 2013)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2013) Fulmer, Christine; Augustine, M.

In this article, the discipline of psychology helps to provide information about adolescent development, specifically the significance of group involvement, and the sociological perspective informs about group involvement and social cohesion as a social phenomenon. The marriage of these two theoretical backdrops is instrumental when studying social phenomena in adolescent peer groups. In this paper, social cohesion, viewed in a theoretical context, will compliment developmental theory and will be applied to the study of adolescent electronic aggression.
