DINE FORÆLDRE ER JO IKKE DINE RIGTIGE FORÆLDRE DU HAR DA RET TIL AT KENDE DIN GENETIK DU MÅ HAVE DET SVÆRT MED AT VIDE, AT DU ER BLEVET VALGT FRADet er blot nogle af de overbevisninger, som bogens forfatter, Lisbet Bladbjerg, jævnligt støder på, når hun nævner, at hun er adopteret. Men for hende og mange andre, der ikke har samme biologi som deres forældre, svarer de overbevisninger ikke til virkeligheden. For dem er den familie, de er vokset op sammen med, naturligvis den eneste rigtige.Igennem ærlige og modige fortællinger giver de medvirkende i GAVEBARN et nuanceret billede af adoption og donation og udfordrer frygten for at fortælle børn sandheden om, hvordan de blev til. Mød ud over Lisbet et forældrepar, der har fået hjælp af en sæddonor, to familier, der har fået hjælp af en ægdonor, og to brødre, der først som voksne fik at vide, at deres far ikke var deres biologiske far.GAVEBARN er en tankevækkende bog for alle, der enten selv er eller har fået et gavebarn, samt alle med interesse for, at der er flere måder at få børn på end at lave dem selv. Den stiller skarpt på gavebørns selvforståelse, forældre som ærlige rollemodeller og et samfund, som er udfordret af dalende fertilitet. Budskabet er klart: Hvis gavebørn allerede fra barnsben kender sandheden om, hvordan de er blevet til, har vi ikke længere brug for at definere familier udelukkende ud fra et genetisk fællesskab. Lad os ryste posen med overbevisninger og få nye omtanker om adoption og donation.

The Social Contract between the Generations is the visible and invisible contract that binds generations together in caring for children, educating children and young adults, and providing for elderly parents. Yet the balance between the generations in Denmark – and the rest of the world – is undergoing dynamic changes, putting the social contract up for debate and renegotiation. There is a need for a new understanding –particularly between the young generation and the old – in anticipation of pension, labor market, healthcare and economic reforms. Bjarne Hastrup pinpoints the wide spectrum of options to consider when creating a new social contract, that will benefit future generations. He reviews the history and the future foundations of the social contract and proposes strategic tools for the debate.

Professionel omsorg er en uomgængelig del af arbejdet med børns og familiers sociale problemer, behov og livssituationer. Men den overses let i den daglige sagsbehandling og fortravlede praksis.Plads til omsorg i socialt arbejde med børn og familier giver en grundlæggende forståelse for, hvad omsorg er og bør være i socialt arbejde. Med konkrete eksempler skærper forfatterne blikket for, hvordan den er indlejret i afgørende aspekter af arbejdet:• i den solidariske autoritet over for børn og familier• i bæredygtige relationer med børn og familier• i arbejdspladsens følelsesmæssige omsorgskultur• i timingen af og stedet for indsatser• i den overordnede ramme for arbejdet: politisk styring og samfundsøkonomi• i den kollegiale fælles refleksion og handling.Bogen giver et fagligt sprog for omsorgen, som gør det muligt for studerende og praktikere at få øje på, forholde sig til og drøfte omsorgen i den daglige socialfaglige praksis.

This book examines the lives of children and young adults living in residential care systems in Zimbabwe and their unique conceptualization of family. While the importance of family for the development and wellbeing of children can't be overemphasized, the questions of what and who counts as family to orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) are under-researched. Gwenzi brings a social constructionist approach to study OVCs in institutional care as well as living with their families in Zimbabwe, finding that they do not have a single definition of family and that they use diverse characteristics to describe what family means to them. With the data suggesting a need for belonging, continuity of relationships, protection, and trust, this study makes recommendations for policy and practice with youth in alternative care in sub-Saharan Africa.

This interdisciplinary edited volume examines the complexities of relational life in the context of psychological distress and recovery. It is well documented that supportive, close relationships are central to wellbeing. This volume explores how connectedness is shaped by mental health settings, interventions and mental health experiences - and vice versa. In doing so, this work provides important insights for adult mental health care, where systems and settings can often struggle to take account of the relational context of distress and recovery. This is the first book to address the emerging shift towards a relational account of distress and recovery through a focus on people's experiences. Chapters explore community and statutory service settings, privileging the voices of those experiencing distress, their loved ones and the professionals who work with them. It also extends recent interest in the role of loneliness and social isolation in mental health,to consider themes such as belonging, connection, care and intimacy. It will appeal to mental health practitioners as well as academics in the fields of psychology, sociology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, social policy and social work.

This book analyzes the factors that have sparked pandemics over the past 2000 years, from the Antonine Plague to COVID-19.It is noteworthy that the frequency of pandemics has increased over the past 2000 years. The authors identify three main drivers for the development of pandemics: transportation, human development, and changes in natural ecosystems. It is important to note that with the advent of the industrial age, the length of time it takes for a pandemic to develop has decreased. COVID-19 is certainly not the last pandemic we will face. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to learn from the past 2000 years to help educate general community and public health officials about pandemic risks and help governments prepare for the next pandemic.The book is also very useful in low and middle-income countries where, in the last several decades, viruses with potential for pandemics have originated. It's comprehensiveness and didactic style make this book a valuable read for government health agencies, private organizations, health care professionals and students.

Welche Anforderungen werden an eine robuste und gesellschaftlich anerkennenswerte Soziale Arbeit gestellt, die in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Disziplin, in der Anschlussfähigkeit ihrer Theorien und in der Anerkennung ihrer Profession überzeugt und dabei noch in sich konsistent ist? Im internationalen Vergleich der Theoriebestände und praktischen Bezüge von Sozialer Arbeit herrscht eine große Diversität und Vielfalt, die sich durch unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche und nationalstaatliche Makro-Bedingungen herausgebildet haben.Gleichzeitig globalisieren sich die Krisen wie Kriege, Pandemien, Klimawandel, Armut und Hunger in einer beschleunigten Weise, welche eher eine pragmatische Theoriebildung und Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit im Sinne von globalen Wohlergehen und Menschenrechten herausfordert. In einer neuen und beschleunigten Anpassungsdynamik reagiert Soziale Arbeit eher darauf, als dass sie selbständig agiert.Kritischer Rationalismus, kritische Gesellschaftstheorie und ethische Orientierung der Sozialen Arbeit werden gerade im internationalen Kontext unter dem Einfluss neuer und schwer überschaubarer globaler Krisen und Herausforderungen noch stärker gefragt werden. In diesem Sammelband werden Beiträge von Autorinnen und Autoren zusammengestellt, die die möglichen Zukunftsperspektiven der Sozialen Arbeit erhellen sollen.

Taking the Goki-Shichido (Five Home Provinces and Seven Circuits of Ancient Japan) as a theoretical framework, this book examines shrinking Japan from a regional variation perspective by municipality along the ancient Sannyodo, which comprises eight provinces and four prefectures today. The book identifies the principal explanatory factors based on the small area data of e-Stat through GPS statistical software tools such as G-census and EvaCva, within a historical perspective. This historical knowledge helps in understanding the significance of the regional cultural heritage that remains in each municipality today. The book pays special attention to municipal variations within the same prefecture, presenting a completely unique approach from what other researchers have pursued.This book studies two present-day prefectures along the ancient Sannyodo for detailed analyses of the impacts of regional variations of population decline in Japan. They are Hiroshima Prefecture, made up of the former Bingo and Aki provinces, and Yamaguchi Prefecture, formed by the ancient provinces of Suo and Nagato. The reasons for selecting these two prefectures of ancient Sannyodo are twofold. First, they are made up of a multiple number of the ancient provinces. Second, other prefectures that fall under the Sannyodo have been studied in the previous works of the present author by adopting the same methods of analyses. Thus, by presenting unique analyses of regional variations on small municipal levels in Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures along the Sannyodo, this book offers suggestions for effective regional policy to revitalize shrinking Japan to a sustainable one.
