Roth","doi":"10.1080/1556035X.2014.906776","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1556035X.2014.906776","url":null,"abstract":"Having recently lost my mother, I am acutely sensitized to the personal impact of death on our lives. Although we will all eventually face our own mortality, addiction tends to accelerate the process of dying. One hope of recovery is that we are able to live today with more awareness of the gifts that the present has to offer us. Some people in recovery tell us that is why we call it the present. Another hope of recovery is an increased ability to create and participate in a community that will carry on our vision into the future. We trust that such a vision guides our journal. In this issue, we celebrate the lives and accomplishments of two members of our community who recently died, David Powell and Catherine P. Papell. William (Bill) White offers us a warm tribute to David Powell, who is known as the father of clinical supervision for addiction treatment providers. David served on our editorial board from the founding of our journal, and his article on men in groups appeared in our inaugural issue (Powell, 2006). We will miss him dearly. Catherine P. Papell lived to 97 years old. She was an elder stateswoman in the field of group psychotherapy among social workers and founded our sister journal, Social Work With Groups. We are grateful to Andrew Cicchetti, frequent contributor and reviewer for our journal, for his eloquent memorial to Catherine. Our articles in this issue highlight the themes of recovery, innovation, and succession. April Benson and her colleagues extend the work of their previously published article in our journal (Benson & Eisenach, 2013) with a randomized controlled trial of group therapy for compulsive buying disorder. In addition to extending our understanding of behavioral addictions related to money, these authors demonstrate a model for all of us to integrate our work into the increasingly demanded arena of evidence-based treatment. Succession necessitates a process of passing on our experience, strength, and hope to the next generation. In 12-step recovery, this process typically occurs through sponsorship. The article by Lawlor et al. describes succession as it occurs in the Oxford House recovery homes. The richness of studying these homes as a model for recovery from addiction has been illustrated in the prolific number of articles contributed by these authors in prior issues of our journal, including the special issue on Oxford Houses, edited by Leonard A. Jason and Joseph R. Ferrari (Roth, 2009).","PeriodicalId":88011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of groups in addiction & recovery","volume":"9 1","pages":"95 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1556035X.2014.906776","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60037451","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}

Jason, academic and activist, gives individuals who are driven by social justice a prescription for how to effect social change. A professor of psychology and director of the Center for Community Research at DePaul University, Jason has built his life around channeling his commitment to social justice through a research and policy agenda spanning several decades. In this book, readers will be inspired by Dr. Jason’s advice on how individuals and institutions, armed with the right knowledge, can address complex issues such as poverty, discrimination, and illness through effective community-based solutions. One of the main founding principles of the book is Jason’s distinction between first-order and second-order change. Too many people, he argues, attempt to address complex issues by instituting superficial, cosmetic changes that yield short-term solutions. He uses as an example a story of a teacher who criticizes and harshly disciplines a distracted student to force him to pay attention in class. The teacher is focusing on that which is directly in front of her instead of thinking about the context in which the student is functioning. Might there be environmental reasons that may explain why the student is having a difficult time functioning in class—perhaps a troubling home life or problems with his or her peer group? By focusing only on the student’s behavior and implementing top–down disciplinary tactics, the teacher is not addressing the root of the problem, and any success she or he may have will be limited. In much the same way, large institutions often institute misguided, reactive policies that sacrifice long-term vision for short-term gains. In contrast, second-order efforts achieve long-lasting social change by identifying and changing fundamental drivers of inequality. Jason reviews the examples of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi as two individuals who created bottom–up interventions, involving the whole of society in challenging powerful forces to achieve social justice. Smaller-scale initiatives can also bring about second-order change, such as Jason’s efforts to conduct research and change policy on public smoking bans in the 1970s, long before such bans were in public favor. As part of this campaign, Jason coordinated","PeriodicalId":88011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of groups in addiction & recovery","volume":"9 1","pages":"195 - 196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1556035X.2014.906791","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60038061","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}

Isenberg","doi":"10.1080/1556035X.2013.838095","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1556035X.2013.838095","url":null,"abstract":"In times like ours with increasing funding competition, the efforts of community programs must be rigorously evaluated. To accomplish this, we need to employ multiple strategies involving strong narrative and sophisticated statistical and graphical tools, and this approach will allow us to better appreciate and understand the meaning and effectiveness of our social and community interventions. Methodological Approaches to Community-Based Research, edited by Leonard A. Jason and David S. Glenwick, unleashes the firepower of academic expertise as it demystifies the sophisticated science of today’s community research. This volume covers history, values, principles, and standards of research methods with 12 chapters of examples of thoughtful, adventurous community research. Methodological Approaches to Community-Based Research challenges the ever-evolving community research field to expand its armament of tools and to consider these innovative qualitative and quantitative methods. This compendium of methodological pluralism and mixed-methods research offers rich examples of each type of research methodology and data sets available online for demonstration. Lorion and Kelly provide thoughtful analyses in the foreword and afterword and help readers better understand the context of the chapters and the overall volume. The book’s first chapter, by the editors, offers a concise overview informing potential producers and consumers of research about integrative methods for both quantitative and qualitative research. It traces the prevention model from its evolution of health and clinical interventions to a social change ecological perspective. Plural research methods have evolved to aid in understanding individual and social problems from an environmental context. The next chapter grounds theoretical and practical perspectives for mixed-methods research. It examines the scientific challenge between subjective and objective reality examining the nature of truth. How can we consider contemporary research without Dewey’s pragmatism enlightening us as to how individual knowledge develops from a series of interactions","PeriodicalId":88011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of groups in addiction & recovery","volume":"9 1","pages":"191 - 194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1556035X.2013.838095","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60037281","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 review process will now be streamlined through the ScholarOne website, which will expedite the review of articles. We have been grateful to the JGAR community for the large number of articles submitted to our journal and know that this innovation will further facilitate the scholarly exchange of ideas in our recovery community. The collection of articles in this issue highlights treatment innovations and practice considerations for special populations within the recovery community. We are invited to consider how physical access intersects with emotional affiliation in mutual aid groups; how stigma and biases within the recovery community toward methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) populations may restrict full participation in mutual aid groups postdischarge; how recovery community attachment may promote wisdom and spiritual growth; how multiple support group affiliations may support adolescent recovery; how behavioral health interventions can be designed to address substance use reduction simultaneously with sexual health promotion; and how eating disorders, characterized by similar behavioral signatures as substance addiction, can be treated effectively with integrated, holistic treatment models. Brideau and Csiernik’s paper, “How Open Is the Meeting? Attending AA in a Wheelchair,” invites readers to consider access to mutual aid groups for populations with limited physical mobility. Through presentation of a first-person narrative account of attending an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting in a wheelchair, visible and invisible barriers to inclusiveness are illuminated. The authors offer an important examination of the intersection between emotional and physical space that can facilitate or impede the opportunity for new members to develop community affiliations and make use of mutual aid group support. White and colleagues in their article, “Participation in Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous and Abstinence Outcomes of 322 Methadone Maintenance Patients,” also look at the use of mutual aid support groups for special populations in recovery by examining MMT patient participation in Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and AA.
