Foreword by Jane Quinn

Jason Schnittker "In an area too often marked by advocacy and polemic, The Diagnostic System provides a well-informed, judicious, and, in fact, invaluable guide to a complex body of scholarship and controversy. Perhaps most important, it addresses those complex interrelationships between individual experience and the social, cultural, and institutional circumstances that in part constitute that experience.”—Charles E. Rosenberg, Harvard University $35.00 / £27.95 cloth 978-0-231-17806-8

Institutional care for seniors offers a cultural repository for fears and hopes about an aging population. Although enormous changes have occurred in how institutional care is structured, the legacies of the poor house still persist, creating panicked views of the nursing home as a dreaded fate. The paradoxical nature of a space meant to be both hospital and home offers up critical tensions for examination by age studies scholars. The essays in this book challenge stereotypes of institutional care for older adults, illustrate the changes that have occurred over time, and illuminate the continuities in the stories we tell about nursing homes. $40.00 paper 978-3-8376-3805-9

SOCIAL WORK

Having existed for years in the West, play therapy is still in its early stage of development in most Asian countries, including mainland China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. This is the first play-therapy book written by experts from specific Asian cultures for practitioners and students who are working in the mental-health field for Asian groups. Each chapter first describes play-therapy development in that particular culture and then uses a case study to illustrate how play therapy can be adapted to suit specific cultural beliefs and environments. $25.00 paper 978-988-237-016-6 2017 210 pages CHINESE UNIVERSITY PRESS

On the Parole Board Reflections on Crime, Punishment,

From the Editor: Social work is a field that responds to the needs of the populations it serves. This year, Columbia’s new offerings in social work focus on the most vulnerable populations on the rise in America.

In The Future of Us, notable pediatrician and founder of the Children’s Health Fund, Irwin Redlener, chronicles his career advocating for healthcare for the poorest children, and what America stands to lose if such care is withheld.

In Children Affected by Armed Conflict, Myriam Denov and Bree Akesson navigate the unique challenges of working with children from war zones and strategies for their provision of services.

In Assessing Empathy, Elizabeth A. Segal and colleagues marshal years of research to present a definition of empathy that links neuroscientific evidence to social work practice—a critical book for unempathetic times.

In Narrative in Social Work Practice, Ann Burack-Weiss, Lynn Sara Lawrence, and Lynne Bamat Mijangos offer a framework for integrating narrative therapy into practice—a process that can be empowering and fulfilling for social workers and clients alike.

And, finally, Jason M. Newell focuses on perhaps the most overlooked population in social work: the social workers themselves. Cultivating Professional Resilience in Direct Practice explores best practices for self-care in the human services to guard against burnout.

I hope you enjoy these books and perhaps they even inform your practice and teaching. I encourage you to be in touch if you have questions, comments, or a manuscript looking for a home.

With best wishes, Stephen Wesley, Editor for Social Work, sw2729@columbia.edu
