Abstract
Soon after I arrived Roselle Kurland joined us. Katy introduced us. We hadn’t met before. At the time, Roselle was teaching at Hunter College’s Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan, NY (Hunter). I was a practitioner, clinical supervisor and program developer at North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center, a nonprofit children’s mental health agency on Long Island, NY. Katy advised us that Beulah and she decided to step down as editors of Social Work with Groups after having founded the journal in 1978, which happened to be the year I earned my MSW from Adelphi University School of Social Work. She invited us to succeed them as co-editors of the journal based on our track record of scholarship and commitment to the field and method. Roselle and I took a few skeptical side-glances at one another. Despite Katy’s vote of confidence, we were strangers to one another. Roselle later confided in me that when we first met, she wondered, “Who on earth is he?” We had attended some of the same group work symposia over the years and, apparently, just passed one another like two ships in the group work night.
我到达后不久,罗塞尔·库兰也加入了我们。凯蒂介绍我们认识。我们以前没见过面。当时,罗塞尔在纽约曼哈顿的亨特学院西尔伯曼社会工作学院(Hunter College 's Silberman School of Social Work)任教。我是北岸儿童和家庭指导中心(North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center)的一名从业人员、临床主管和项目开发人员。北岸儿童和家庭指导中心是纽约长岛的一家非营利性儿童心理健康机构。凯蒂告诉我们,Beulah和她在1978年创办了《社会工作与团体》杂志后,决定辞去这份杂志的编辑职务,而这一年恰好是我从阿德尔菲大学社会工作学院获得城市生活垃圾学位的一年。她邀请我们接替他们成为期刊的共同编辑,基于我们的学术记录和对该领域和方法的承诺。罗塞尔和我怀疑地瞟了对方几眼。尽管凯蒂对我们投了信任票,但我们彼此都是陌生人。罗塞尔后来向我吐露,当我们第一次见面时,她想知道,“他到底是谁?”多年来,我们参加了一些相同的小组工作座谈会,显然,在小组工作之夜,我们就像两艘船一样擦肩而过。
期刊介绍:
Social Work with Groups is a unique quarterly journal of community and clinical practice, and an important reference publication for those in the social work profession who value and seek to understand the small group. The journal addresses the issues of group work in psychiatric, rehabilitative, and multipurpose social work and social service agencies; crisis theory and group work; the use of group programs in clinical and community practice; and basic group competencies for all social work professionals. The contributions reflect a sophisticated knowledge of the use of the group as a learning medium and a highly developed understanding of instructional technology in the teaching of social group work knowledge and skills.
