AbstractScribal verse was an important source of news and comment about parliament in 17th‐century Britain, especially in the 1620s and 1660s–80s. Unlike other forms of scribal news, poems that circulated in manuscript did not report on parliamentary proceedings as such, but either summarised parliamentary news or provided comment on parliament's actions, nature or wider purpose, and typically presented parliament as a unitary agent that expressed a single voice. Scribal verse overwhelmingly disseminated a view of parliament as an agent of oppositional/'country' politics in a polarised, partisan political landscape. In the 1620s, poems represented parliament in conflict with court figures such as Francis Bacon, Viscount St Alban, and George Villiers, duke of Buckingham. Most took an oppositional perspective, praising parliament as a virtuous, corruption‐fighting body, while some loyalist/'court' poems depicted it as the multitude's dangerous tool. Under Charles II, oppositional poems tended to emphasise that parliament was thwarted from its rightful oppositional role by threatened prorogation and corruption by the court, while loyalist poems discredited parliament with the memory of its revolutionary mid‐century predecessors. Evidence about readers, such as the clergyman John Rous in the 1620s and the student Peter Le Neve in the 1670s, indicates that poems were consumed as part of wider bundles of news media. Some poems were themselves embedded within parliamentary culture, being written by members of parliament such as Andrew Marvell and read by others such as Sir William Haward.

The paper is an English translation of Teoria a historia gospodarstwa społecznego by Edward Taylor published originally in Polish in "Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny" in 1962. The text is published as a part of a jubilee edition of the "Adam Mickiewicz University Law Review. 100th Anniversary of the Faculty of Law and Administration" devoted to the achievements of the late Professors of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań.

Social workers have always provided services for children or youth with serious mental illness and their families. We have not, however, always included neuroscience findings as part of our treatment frameworks. Nor have we maximized the incorporation of biological theories into our daily practice. The social work role is often unclear when mental illness is framed as a brain disease rather than solely as a social-environmental problem. This article offers a treatment model and suggestions for working with children and youths who have neuropsychiatric disorders. Specific suggestions are offered for working with these children and their families, supporting biological and medication interventions, and functioning as a professional member of a multidisciplinary team. Social workers need accessible, easily applicable information that translates research into practice guidelines. These guidelines must form a coherent, flexible treatment model that meets the needs of children and their families. This article begins to meet this need by translating ecological theory and neurobiological concepts into a clinical framework.

Assessing, Diagnosing, and Treating Serious Mental Disorders uniquely provides information that is useful across mental health, psychopathology, practice, and human behavior and development classes, particularly for psychopathology and advanced mental health practice courses. DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria is provided for each mental disorder discussed in the textbook, and detailed comparisons to DSM-5 are included. This book represents a new wave of social work education, focusing on mental disorders as an interaction among neurobiology, genetics, and ecological social systems. Edward Taylor argues that most all mental disorders have a foundation within the person's brain that differentially interacts with the social environment. Therefore, how the brain is involved in mental disorders is covered far more comprehensively than found in most social work textbooks. However, the purpose is not to turn social workers into neuroscientists, but to prepare them for educating, supporting, and where appropriate providing treatment for, clients and families facing mental illness. Entire chapters are dedicated to explaining bioecological and other related theories, family support and intervention, and assessment methods. To help students conceptualize methods, the book includes specific steps for assessing needs, joining, and including families in mental health treatment decisions. Methods for helping families become part of the treatment team and for providing in-home interventions are highlighted. Throughout the book, professors and students can find helpful outlines and illustrations for how to understand, assess, and treat mental disorders

"The Handbook of Transformative Learning provides a comprehensive and critical review of more than three decades of theory development, research, and practice in Transformative Learning (TL). It will help adult educators understand what transformative learning is, distinguish it from other forms of learning, and foster it in their practice. The book covers five broad areas: historical, theoretical, practical, research, and future perspective. It is comprehensive, interdisciplinary, critical, reflective, and accessible to a wide audience of interested scholars, students, and practitioners. Co-edited by leading experts in the field with an advisory group of prominent authorities, this handbook is the leading resource for the field"--

This article is designed to open a conversation about the place of spirituality in social work, highlight possible ethical issues, and question whether spirituality, as defined by social work and popular culture, is an immutable part of human development. Additionally, the role of social work in conducting spiritual assessments and interventions is specifically challenged, along with examples of how the misuse of spirituality can harm clients. The article also suggests that the profession would benefit from adopting an evidence-based concept of spirituality and establishing accountability standards. Findings: Until more is known about spirituality, social workers may want to consider: (1) placing a moratorium on using and developing spiritual assessment instruments until the concept can be accurately defined; (2) omitting words linked to religious symbols such as soul, anointing, blessing, etc. in social work practice; (3) conducting spiritual screenings rather than complete spiritual assessments, and (4) referring clients with spiritual questions or wanting spiritual support to experts known not to blame or harm clients and trained in the specific area of concerns expressed by the person. Applications. The time has come for social work to establish ethics, accountability, and limitations on the practice of spirituality.

In 1995, international migrant remittances exceeded US$70 billion. How have these remittances shaped development in migrant sending areas?Pessimistic views on migration and development pervade the literature. In contrast, the new economics of labour migration (NELM) argues that migration may set in motion a development dynamic, lessening production and investment constraints faced by households in imperfect market environments and creating income growth linkages.This article assesses the development potential of remittances from a NELM perspective and cites empirical evidence that remittances may be a positive factor in economic development.Governments in migrant origin countries may increase the development potential of remittances through a variety of economic policies. Creating a fertile ground for remittances to contribute to broad based income growth in migrant sending areas is a key to promoting development from migration.
