Etat : Good. : Este libro explora la evaluación de programas familiares en el contexto del trabajo social moderno. Examina la composición diversa de las familias estadounidenses y los cambios en la crianza de los hijos, temas de intenso escrutinio por investigadores y legisladores. Se abordan tendencias como los cambios demográficos, la creciente incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral, el embarazo adolescente y la desinstitucionalización de ancianos y enfermos mentales, que han afectado significativamente la vida familiar. La obra tiende un puente entre investigadores y profesionales, ofreciendo consejos prácticos y comprensibles para proveedores de programas familiares, financiadores y legisladores. Se presentan modelos innovadores para la prestación y evaluación de servicios, fomentando la reflexión sobre los aspectos exitosos de los programas y reconociendo las limitaciones tanto de la investigación como de la práctica. Se busca comprender las influencias recíprocas de la familia extensa, la cultura, la comunidad y las instituciones sociales, instando a la comprensión de que no todas las evaluaciones son apropiadas para todos los programas y reconociendo las limitaciones de las tecnologías de evaluación actuales. Se destaca la importancia de considerar a los niños y las familias en su contexto para desarrollar políticas familiares sólidas.

Paperback. Etat : New. The diverse composition of American families and changing ways of raising our children have become subjects of intense scrutiny by researchers and policymakers in recent years. Shifting demographics and work patterns, growing numbers of women in the work force, teenage pregnancy, single-parent families, and the deinstitutionalization of the elderly, disabled, and mentally ill--all these trends have significantly affected family life. Evaluating Family Programs effectively bridges the gap between researchers and practitioners in order to bring practical, understandable advice to providers of family programs and to program funders and policymakers.Heather B. Weiss and Francine H. Jacobs have collected in this volume works which move outside the traditional approaches of their disciplines to create new models for delivering and evaluating services. This sets a mood of genuine inquiry and excitement about successful aspects of programs while maintaining openness about the limitations of both research and practice. By expanding the research model, this work is an attempt to understand reciprocal influences of extended family, culture, community, and social institutions. It urges those who advocate program accountability to understand that not all types of evaluations are appropriate for all programs, and it notes that limitations in current evaluation technologies make it difficult to evaluate outcomes.Evaluating Family Programs reminds the reader that in order to develop sound family policy we must look at children and families in context. Beacuse policymakers, program administrators, and informed citizens have come to rely more upon the results of evaluation research, we must improve our methods while not losing sight of its limitations. It is a thought-provoking contribution to the efforts of those who seek to support the American family with compassion, understanding, and realism.…
