In over sixty years of involvement in social work—as practitioner, supervisor, teacher, consultant, and author—Helen Harris Perlman has become all but a legend. She has served on national policy committees, lectured around the world, and participated in pioneering social work programs and research. Her wide-ranging experiences enrich her vision of the social work profession: typically she is able to see the forest and the trees. Grounded in psychodynamic and social theory, lucid, forthright, and compassionate, her writings serve to inspire and guide experienced practitioners, teachers, and present-day students. Looking Back to See Ahead offers pieces chosen for their centrality to Perlman's thinking on some of the major problems of social work practice and education. To each essay she has added her current, informal comments. Refreshingly original is the section "After Hours," in which she captures, in sketches and verse, the humor and heartache that are inevitable in any profession that deals with hurt and troubled people.

Bernice G. Dyck has been a school teacher and a follower of Christ all the years of her life. She learned to serve others at a very young age. When she was in Kindergarten, she was already singled out as the person who was ready, willing, and able to help those who need it. She taught for more than 30 years in the public school system, and has done part-time teaching at Red River College and at the University of Winnipeg. While keeping busy and involved with the organizations that she worked for, she spent many years writing books in her spare time. She recently went back to the 'education system' as a student of theology, and has spent two years preparing to help churches that need a Lay Worship Leader for a period of time. During those experiences, some as long as several months, at the request of the congregation, her passion for Christ has continued to grow, and the novels and Christian books she has written should help us to know and understand our God, who made us with the potential to be an excellent servant, following in Jesus' footsteps. Now, with several books ready for publication, she is happy to share her passion for living with and for God. Whether you are a declared Christian or not, God has already been working in your life! This book should lead you to see how that has already happened as you Look Back over your life. It should also help to See Ahead and determine how God's work in the past will strongly influence your future, and how it will help you to share God's love with others! Retrospection can, and will change your life! Thanks be to God!

Adopt a more effective approach to temporary and long-term residential care! Presenting the voices of staff, parents, and residents, Family-Centered Services in Residential Treatment: New Approaches for Group Care examines the changes and challenges of residential care from the old-fashioned orphanage to the modern group-care home. These thoughtful essays offer suggestions and methods to provide more effective services in temporary and long-term settings. Containing case studies, personal experiences, and professional insights about the potentials and limitations of residential care, this reliable resource will help you develop improved services for youths and their families. Family-Centered Services in Residential Treatment presents fresh evaluations of new and old techniques as well as ideas for meeting individual needs. By building connections among parents, youths, and staff, you can develop more successful treatment programs and encourage stronger family ties even when children are best served by long-term residential care. Family-Centered Services in Residential Treatment addresses the crucial questions of residential care, including: how can staff ease children's transitions into and out of residential care? what do parents of emotionally disturbed youth need from the staff and professionals in a residential care setting? what was right--and wrong--about the old-fashioned orphanage? Could such an institution work today? how does the transition to the teamwork approach affect staff members? when is residential care most beneficial to children? what kind of care is appropriate for AIDS orphans? Family-Centered Services in Residential Treatment will help psychologists, therapists, and social workers unite theory and practice to create a family-oriented environment for troubled clients.
