| 20661 | SOWK 789 | 01 | Independent Research Project: Clinical Use of Forgiveness | DiBlasio | Approved as an Advanced Research requirement for students in the Clinical concentration for the specializations of Families & Children; Behavioral Health (Mental Health); Aging; and Health. Students will review the clinical forgiveness intervention used in a study and will become familiar with the overall results. The data from this study have been collected from marital couples that were assigned to one of four experimental groups: forgiveness treatment; spiritual forgiveness treatment; problem-solving treatment and a no-treatment control. These data have been collected and the course will NOT involve the collection of data. Students will be asked to become familiar with the test questions that were used and from them to think creatively in designing a way to analyze the concepts of the study. The instructor will take the student’s ideas and he will design a statistical way to test them on the existing data and in turn explain the results to the student. The instructor will then give guidance to each student for how to report the findings. No previous knowledge in experimental statistics is necessary. The assignments include a review of the literature paper and a final written report. This course REQUIRES students who can: (a) work independently, think creatively and demonstrate initiative and motivation; (b) have flexibility and patience to be involved in an advance research pursuit where knowledge and familiarity builds as the course progresses; (c) attend ALL Monday class meetings (some classes will be devoted to individual/small group meetings) AND once or twice during the semester the student must be able to arrange a time on campus to meet with the instructor other than on Mondays; (d) invest out-of-class time to reading and other class activities (students accountable to document sufficient weekly out-of-class efforts). | 4E14 |

This interdisciplinary research course in Public Health Financial Social Work offers students the opportunity to conduct a primary cross-sectional quantitative data analysis project demonstrating the association between health and household economics. We will use the social determinants of health as the theoretical framework to inform the formation, implementation, analysis, and dissemination of introductory research questions, methods, and analyses. Students will learn how to implement a research project by creating research questions, collecting their own data, using excel to analyze the data, and writing up a report that may be submitted for publication. We will delve into Public Health Financial Social Work literature through structured class discussion, learn the foundation skills of research, practice those skills in class and in the real world. Students will also become aware of their own perceptions of health and household economics and the impact of household economics on client health. | 2E10 |

| 27306 | SOWK 699 | 09 | Special Topic: Housing and Social Policy | Singer | This 3 credit elective course will prepare students to assess and understand the dialectic between social policies and human well being, with a focus on shelter in its many manifestations. “Home is where the heart is”, so Pliny the Elder opined.

In this course, students will (a) reflect upon the concepts of social justice and social change and their relationship to housing, social policy, and participation; (b) examine the processes through which housing and homelessness services are financed, constructed, maintained, and evolve; (c) study the relationships among housing, health, human growth and development, neighborhoods, and communities; (d) develop sufficient knowledge of the background and context of housing and homelessness services in the U.S. so that they might predict and influence future directions of these goods; (e) understand the relationships between housing markets on the one hand, and policies and programs serving the poor and the disadvantaged on the other hand; (f) evaluate program changes and proposals for reform in the institutions providing housing, related services, and financing; (g) become familiar with the context of housing provisions/financing and homelessness services in other nations; and (h) investigate the role of social workers as service providers and change agents in access to emergency shelter, homelessness services, and housing. (Note: This course does not meet the Advanced Policy curriculum requirement but may be used as an elective.) | 2E06 |

Seven (7) consecutive Wednesday evenings 6:00 - 8:00 PM. First Session: January 31st. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant societal problem, which has persisted despite efforts to eradicate it using numerous intervention strategies. In this course, the student will be introduced to key concepts, processes, measurements, and related theories across diverse practice settings (i.e. social work, law, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and medicine) to be able to effectively address IPV in practice. Issues related to those who experience and witness IPV as well as those who perpetrate IPV, including social and cultural factors (e.g., race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status) associated with IPV, including theory practice on intersectionality. The student will explore various strategies established for ending IPV and clinical, policy, and social change interventions from an interprofessional perspective. Course activities will be designed to help the student think critically and apply understanding of theories from the individual to macro levels of intervention and change across practice settings in social work, law, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and medicine. (This 1-credit course may be combined with other 1-credit offerings to fulfull an elective requirement for the MSW degree. This course does not fulfill a methods course requirement.) | 3E08 |
