It provides a history of the industrial health and social welfare system in Germany, including the placement of governesses in factories to help women adjust to entering the industrialized workforce as a result of World War I, and the transformation of these early workplace helpers to purveyors of Nazi ideology with the rise of the Third Reich and the subsequent efforts to restore their credibility. The author also traces the evolution of occupational social welfare functions over the past six decades to present day and suggests how this evolution is patterned after the social, political, economic and labor force changes that have marked Germany throughout this period. The predominance of occupational social workers as employees rather than contractors or consultants and employer preferences for internal programs are also explored as is the general absence of occupational social work services in...","PeriodicalId":246202,"journal":{"name":"Employee Assistance Quarterly","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128096738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maiden","doi":"10.1300/J022v17n01_07","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1300/J022v17n01_07","url":null,"abstract":"Summary Occupational social work was first introduced in the United States at the dawn of the 20th Century in response to heightened industrialization, rapid urbanization and an influx of immigrants with numerous social needs. In the absence of institutionalized social welfare services and increasing consumer demands, leading industrialists of the era assumed the role in the provision of social welfare services. While paternalistic in its approach, these early employer sponsored social services set the tone for the workplace programs that have evolved over the past 100 years. While these services have been offered under many different auspices such as unions, large corporations, small employers, federal, state and local government agencies, drug and alcohol treatment programs, hospital and related health care services, the military, and by major health insurers, social workers have played a pivotal role in the evolution of workplace human services. This article traces the journey of the occupational social worker in the U.S. and the evolution of work related delivery systems. It also examines the unique perspective that social workers bring to the world of work and the resiliency with which they have been able to assist workers and work organizations respond and adapt to a rapidly changing workplace and environment. This article also explores the roles social workers play in the areas of adapting to technological and organizational change, understanding and accepting diversity, health care cost containment, economic fluctuations and job insecurity, work induced stress and illness, managing trauma, conflict and violence, work and family issues, and the recent infusion of public welfare recipients into the workplace.","PeriodicalId":246202,"journal":{"name":"Employee Assistance Quarterly","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124982141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The greatest coordination difficulties involved mental health collaboration with: primary care; justice systems; substance abuse services; and schools.

The protocol was used by ten counselors in screening 287 female clients. The protocol included asking specific questions to screen for domestic violence, assessing dangerousness by examining risk factors, and responding to identified domestic violence. When compared to a baseline period, results indicated that counselors significantly increased the percentage of women clients identified as experiencing domestic violence and were significantly more likely to provide information about services when the protocol was used. Few women were referred directly to domestic violence services. Information obtained from the counselors provided guidelines for implementing a protocol effectively.","PeriodicalId":246202,"journal":{"name":"Employee Assistance Quarterly","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126017636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
