Assessing violence in the family : social work, courts, and discourses

2016

This article investigates social work, decision-making, and gendered violence in the family in Finland. Discourses on gendered violence in the family are compared in custody disputes, handled in district courts, and out-of-home placements, dealt with in administrative courts. Both data sets altogether include 237 cases. Proceedings in both courts share a legislative emphasis on the ‘child’s best interest’ principle, and both contexts also rely on documentation provided by social workers. The examination of the two studies is based on discourse analysis, through which we have identified hegemonic discourses that are active in both courts. The study found that violence was often disregarded o…

Lisäksi selvitettiin, muuntaako esiopettajien työstä palautuminen ohjausvuorovaikutuksen laadun ja koetun stressin välisiä yhteyksiä esiopetusvuoden aikana. Tutkimukseen osallistui 47 esiopettajaa esiopetusvuoden syksyllä ja keväällä.

La sfida delle coppie a doppia carriera tra strategie di coping e nodi conflittuali. Un contributo di ricerca

2015

Nella dimensione privata e in quella sociale e organizzativa, il bilanciamento famiglia-lavoro e la genitorialita si risolvono in un sovraccarico di responsabilita a sfavore delle madri e nella effettiva disparita nella professione. Nelle famiglie a doppia carriera, il conflitto tra vita familiare e vita lavorativa ha effetti su varie dimensioni; la ricerca che presentiamo prende in esame la presenza di conflitti WIF (work to family) e conflitti FIW (family to work) in un campione di 483 genitori di coppie a doppia carriera e ha permesso di evidenziare che l’aumento dei compiti familiari relativi alla nascita e all’accudimento dei figli e associato a una strategia di bilanciamento che rifle…
