부모화는 부모가 자녀에게 애정과 보호를 제공하지 못하고 오히려 자녀로부터 돌봄과 사랑을 받기를 원하여 부모와 자녀의 관계가 역전된 현상이다. 부모화와 관련된 연구들은 부모화 과정과 관련된 외상들로 인해 정신병리나 부정적 영향에 초점을 두는 경향이 있었다. 그러나 과도한 정신병리화에서 벗어나 강점 중심의 접근을 시도할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 청소년의 ...부모화 경험과 가족 건강성 지각과는 어떤 관계가 있는지를 구체적으로 확인하고자 하였다. 연구는 B시에 소재하는 4개 고등학교에 재학 중인 학생 639명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 부모화 경험과 가족건강성 간의 관계를 검토하기 위하여 부모화 경험의 하위요인인 물리적 돌봄, 정서적 돌봄, 불공평을 독립변인군으로, 가족건강성의 하위요인인 의사소통, 문제해결수행능력, 가족원간의 유대, 가치체계 공유를 종속변인군으로 하는 정준상관분석을 실시하였다. 통계적 분석의 결과, 본 연구에 참가한 청소년의 부모화 경험 정도는 대체로 낮은 편이었고, 남학생과 여학생의 점수가 비슷하여성별에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 가족 건강성에 대해서는 다소 높게 지각하고 있었다. 정준상관분석의 결과, 부모화 경험과 가족건강성 간에 유의미한 상관이 발견되었으며, 비록 남녀 학생 간에 부모화 경험의 수준은 유사했으나 부모화 경험이 가족건강성 지각에 미치는 영향은 성별에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 청소년의 부모화 경험과 관련된 논의와 시사점이 제시되어 있다.
Parentification is the distortion or lack of boundaries between and among family subsystems, such that children take on roles and responsibilities usually reserved for adults. Because of the trauma often related to the parentification process, research has tended to focus on psychopathology and other negative outcomes. This potential overpathologizing could result in missed opportunities to uncover exceptions. Hence, this research intended to examine the relationship between parentification and perceived family strengths of adolescents, consistent with strengths based approach. The participants of this study were 639 high school students sampled from 4 schools in B city. To analyze data, a series of cannonical correlation analysis was performed. The results of this study are as follows: First, the level of parentification was generally low among research participants and no significant gender difference was found in parentification score. Second, participants perceived their family strengths somewhat high and no significant gender difference was found in the score. Third, the result of cannonical correlation analysis showed significant relationships between parentification and perceived family strengths and a differential gender effect of unfairness on family strengths. Discussions and suggestions related to the results are provided.

This chapter examines the application of character strengths assessment and interventions to the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with a focus on the VIA ...Classification of Strengths. Assessments, including the VIA Inventory of Strengths and the VIA-Youth are described, as are interventions using character strengths, such as strengths-spotting, promoting signature strengths, the Apply-Explore-Aware Model, and interactive behavioral therapy.
The agenda of technology for losers is closely related to a politically more correct concept of using technology to empower disadvantaged regions or individuals. Technology for losers emphasizes the ...fact that losers are those that had something valuable which they have subsequently, for whatever reason, lost. Although commonly used as a highly patronizing and even offensive term, the term loser, literally, refers to diverse users of technology such as people marginalized because of unemployment, individuals with special needs, and poor people in developing regions. Hence, together they form a majority of the humankind. Working with losers requires technology designers to focus more on the urgent and urging, concrete problems, while the traditional perspective of disadvantaged users calls for correct strategies at the policy level. The key characteristic of designing technology for losers is the fact that it starts from the identification of their strengths rather than needs or lacks; thus recognizing their ultimate resources which can be released by re-equipping them with what they have lost.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are experts and advocates in disability services. The Aboriginal Ability Links Program is one example where this expertise and advocacy occurs. The ...primary aim of the Aboriginal Ability Links Program is to support Aboriginal people, who live with a disability, to connect with family, communities and services, build confidence, work towards goals, and plan for the future. This program is guided by a set of principles, one of which includes the application of person-centred care approaches. This project explores person-centred care approaches used in one service, which is delivering the Aboriginal Ability Links Program.
Key in this Community Based Participatory Research was Aboriginal leadership, guidance, and participation. This project used yarning for data collection and thematic analysis for data analysis. Multiple yarning sessions took place, and five case scenarios were developed. Three Aboriginal Ability Linkers were involved in the research yarning sessions, as was the manager of the service. Consultation yarning sessions with additional Aboriginal Ability Linkers, as well as other managers and an Elders group confirmed the results of this project.
The results revealed the person-centred care approach used by Aboriginal Ability Linkers. This person-centred care approach included: have a yarn and connect with culture; connect with community, including elders; critically reflect on yourself and your practice; be trauma informed and aware of contexts; encourage voices and choices, and finally, strengthen relationships with and between key stakeholders.
Aboriginal Ability Linkers provide essential services, which promote a strength-based approach and culturally responsive services with Aboriginal communities. This person-centred approach can be applied in other disability and disability-related settings.
IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION
This person-centred care approach offers disability services providers a framework for working with Aboriginal people.
The person-centred care approach incorporates Aboriginal philosophical approaches and builds on the previous work of Aboriginal disability scholars.
This person-centred care approach is embedded in a decolonising framework and as such, guides disability workers to reflect on themselves, the Australian context and the impact of trauma in Aboriginal communities.
This research program involves two phases to identify enablers and barriers to diabetes care for Aboriginal people on Ngarrindjeri country; and co-design a strength-based metabolic syndrome and Type ...2 Diabetes (T2D) remission program with the Ngarrindjeri community.
A study protocol on qualitative research.
The study will recruit Aboriginal people living on Ngarrindjeri country above 18 years of age with a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome or T2D. Recruitment for phases one and two will occur through the Aboriginal Health Team at the Riverland Mallee Coorong Local Health Network. The lived experiences of T2D will be explored with 10–15 Aboriginal participants, through an Aboriginal conversational technique called ‘yarning’ (60–90 min) in phase 1. Elders and senior community representatives (n = 20–30) will participate in four co-design workshops (2–4 h) in phase 2. Qualitative data will be transcribed and thematically analysed (NVivo version 12). The analysis will focus on protective factors for the Cultural Determinants of Health. Ethics approval was obtained from Aboriginal Health Research Ethics Committee in South Australia (04-22-1009), and Flinders University Human Research Ethics Committee (5847).
This work will be used to pilot the co-designed diabetes remission trial. Outcomes will be published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at conferences, focusing on following best practice guidelines from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies and National Health and Medical Research Council. Research translation will occur through digital posters, manuals, and infographics.
The findings will be summarised to all Aboriginal organisations involved in this study, along with peak bodies, stakeholders, Aboriginal Services, and interested participants.
Social workers have a significant role in empowering clients to discover their own strengths as well as strengths in their environment and to achieve social justice on behalf of oppressed ...populations. The goal of this exploratory qualitative study was to broaden our knowledge on strength-based approaches in working with minority and collectivist societies via the perspectives of 20 social workers and 19 managers of social service organizations and departments who work with at-risk young-adult Arabs throughout Israel. Thematic analysis revealed that social workers consciously try to identify young adults' assets and resources at both the personal and environmental level, despite the major structural barriers in these young adults' lives (i.e., due to intersectionality). Also, they use their collaborative relationship with the young adults as a mechanism to induce hope, a sense of responsibility, a sense of agency, and empowerment. The discussion addresses the study's findings concerning the literature on strength-based approaches, highlighting the advantages and challenges in using such approaches when working with these populations. Recommendations for practical implementation propose the integration of thorough training in strength-based approaches into the professional socialization of emerging social workers. Moreover, it is suggested to establish a guiding principle by implementing a systematic assessment that aligns conceptually with strength-based approaches.

Since the Good Lives Model’s (GLM) inception, researchers and practitioners have faced questions about its implementation. Programs claiming to use the GLM vary substantially in the extent to which ...the GLM informs treatment, and no tools exist to monitor therapist fidelity to the GLM. The aim of the current paper is to offer a concrete tool to monitor therapist fidelity to the GLM. The GLM Fidelity Monitoring Tool offers the beginnings of a method for how therapists and supervisors can address the central question of “How well are we implementing the Good Lives Model?” The tool consists of three sections: (i) Fundamental Considerations and Processes, which focus on therapeutic process variables consistent with the GLM but not specific to the GLM, and are rated numerically for fidelity, (ii) GLM-Specific Considerations and Processes, also rated numerically for fidelity, and (iii) Client-Focused GLM Considerations, which are a set of questions exploring the therapist’s progress developing a GLM grounded case formulation and therapy plan for individual clients. The tool is designed to help guide supervision discussions and promote therapist fidelity to the GLM. Future research implications are discussed.
Objective: Over the last decade, the literature relating to older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's preferences for social and emotional wellbeing services has grown. However, little ...evidence exists in relation to older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's experiences of services relating to social and emotional wellbeing. This paper highlights older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's experiences of social and emotional wellbeing services in Australia and then uses these key findings of the research, along with the literature, to develop a strength-based approach for service providers.
Methods: Yarning was the preferred research method for the older Aboriginal community. In total, 16 older Aboriginal people, including eight women and eight men participated in the research yarning sessions. A modified version of an existing thematic analysis process supported yarning members to participate in each stage of the research, including data analysis.
Results: The themes emerging from the voices of the yarning members are they couldn't give a damn about them, You've got to get the right one and ticking the box. The themes focus on negative, positive and preferred experiences of social and emotional wellbeing service provision.
Conclusion: The key findings and related literature contribute to the development of a strength-based approach, which supports the implementation of responsive and effective services that address Elders, older peoples and their communities' social and emotional wellbeing issues and aspirations.
