Ted C. Fishman's "The Play's The Thing"
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Finding suitable entertainment options for children and adolescents has long been one of the most challenging aspects of parenthood. In the old days – where criminal activity was something left primarily to the adults – kids found amusement in such seemingly harmless games as stickball, kick the can and pitching pennies in the alleys. Because contemporary society does not permit these types of outside games to exist in many places anymore due to the drastic increase in crime and street gangs, Fishman explains how the high-tech alternative of video games has taken their place to allow young people the opportunity to stretch their aptitude, become savvy to things they might not otherwise be exposed and escape into the all-important sphere of imagination – all in the safety of their own homes.

Temperament And Personality: Their Role In Crisis Intervention
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Professional counseling and support groups are essential for those who have suffered crises. Crisis victims have a great deal of emotional and psychological issues to process, and these often cannot be accomplished without the intervention of trained counselors. However, the role of temperament and personality is a critical component of crisis intervention, inasmuch as that singular individual is responsible for a significant burden: guiding someone out of emotional and/or physical turmoil. Characteristics such as patience, understanding and empathy are not only essential for a crisis counselor to possess but they represent the very foundation of this particular type of personal assistance. In addition to this aspect, however, is that of a realistic knowledge of how to address certain crises, which is acquired only through proper training. While inherent temperament and personality traits comprise the foundation of crisis counseling, learned attributes are just as important. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Termination Of A Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program: Social Worker Interaction
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. One can readily argue that the process a social worker goes through when her session with a client is about to be terminated bears significant similarity to the separation between a parent and a child. Indeed, the role of a social worker is to nurture and rebuild, two integral components of the typical parent/child relationship. For those social workers who lead group rehabilitation clinics for substance abusers that last for several months at a time, the termination at the end of the session would be as emotionally difficult for the social worker as it is for each client.
