It is my great privilege to be writing my first editorial for Smith College Studies in Social Work (“Smith Studies”) as the journal’s new Editor-in-Chief. I would like to express much gratitude to the outgoing co-editors, Drs. Marianne Yoshioka and Marsha Pruett. Under their leadership, Smith Studies, previously known as a journal with a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic orientation, has expanded its scope and aims and become a forum for a wider range of theoretical and empirical knowledge and practice of clinical social work. It is impossible to write about Smith Studies without considering its relationship with Smith College School for Social Work (SSW). As the oldest clinical social work program in the country, Smith Psychiatric Training School was established in 1918 to help treat trauma among World War I veterans. Smith SSW has been since leading the discipline of clinical social work and remains today as a premier graduate school of social work with a sole focus on clinical practice education. Launched as one of the first social work journals in 1930, Smith Studies has served as a scholarly home not only for Smith SSW faculty but also other practitioners and scholars in a wider social work arena. The journal has published a number of historically prominent, seminal articles that shaped the theory and practice of clinical social work for nearly a century. Published on a range of topics from therapeutic relationship, transference and countertransference, the role of culture, clinical supervision to social and policy contexts that impact clinical practice, Smith Studies has long played a significant role in the clinical social work communities. More recently, the journal has led important dialogs about the intersection between theory, research, and practice, articulating and examining elements of culturally relevant, theoretically and empirically grounded clinical practice. So, what is next for Smith Studies? I am deeply honored and humbled to take on the role of the editor-in-chief to further the journal’s mission, which is to advance and transform knowledge and practice of clinical social work in times of unrest and uncertainty. This new appointment comes in such a critical time for the profession of social work. The racial unrest and reckoning during the last few years precipitated an important movement in social work, in which our leaders have come to terms with and apologized for social work’s problematic (historical and ongoing) involvement with racist and colonial projects. From cultural genocide of Indigenous people, internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, to racist child protection practice, we as a profession are in an early phase of SMITH COLLEGE STUDIES IN SOCIAL WORK 2023, VOL. 93, NO. 1, 1–4 https://doi.org/10.1080/00377317.2023.2217738

ABSTRACT The rapid shift to telemental health (TMH) during the COVID-19 pandemic left mental health providers scrambling to adapt, raising concerns about the effect on the quality of the therapeutic alliance. This article explores the impact of TMH on the therapeutic alliance and how relational psychotherapists can support their patients and engage best practices in a way that helps all participants feel connected to the work. It defines the therapeutic alliance, explores the concepts of tasks, goals, and therapeutic bonds, and highlights the importance of developing a positive bond in the context of relational therapy. The paper also describes common challenges encountered while providing psychotherapy virtually, provides guidance on what contributes to a more positive attitude toward TMH interventions, offers a list of recommendations for improving the therapeutic alliance in TMH, and makes recommendations for future study.

ABSTRACT The pandemic has spotlighted multiple long-standing inequities among marginalized populations. Of particular concern is the population of older Asian adults with limited English proficiency, who rely heavily on bicultural and bilingual Asian human service workers for culturally and linguistically appropriate service provision. With ever-evolving public health measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, new challenges arose for bicultural and bilingual Asian human service workers to provide timely and appropriate care. To better understand the challenges among bicultural and bilingual Asian human service workers, this qualitative study explores how these workers changed their service provision in assisting older adults with limited English proficiency. Using the purposive sampling strategy, ten bicultural and bilingual Asian human service workers participated in the study that employed a phenomenological approach. Findings suggest that the workers need additional support to create a more comprehensive system of care for their older Asian clients who carry dual cultures and systems during the time of public health emergencies. Implications for social work and human service practice are offered.

ABSTRACT Racial microaggressions, or slights and insults against a person’s race, are a common experience for people who identify as multiracial. Mistaken identity, excluding, pathologizing, and exoticizing multiracial existence are examples of multiracial microaggressions. Various multiracial social theories provide a framework for understanding multiracial microaggressions as situated within a society that privileges monoracial people above multiracial people. There has been less attention given to the interpersonal dynamics at play when multiracial microaggressions occur. Drawing from Jessica Benjamin’s concepts of complementarity and surrender in a psychodynamic theory of intersubjectivity, this author seeks to understand possible driving forces behind a multiracial microaggression she experienced during a clinical supervision.

ABSTRACT Belonging is a human need, one that is particularly difficult for children of immigrants to achieve. The Second-generation youth hangs in a balance between the culture of their parents and that of their friends and peers. Often these youth feel that they are not heard or seen by those around them, enhancing the feeling of not belonging in their communities, or even in their country. Therapeutic interventions could potentially create a “third space” in which they feel a sense of belonging. This paper explores the complexity in the experience of belonging in second-generation Latinx youth through a review of the literature, psychodynamic theories, a composite clinical case example and the reflections and implications to and from Second-generation Latina therapist.

Abstract There is well-established evidence that women in the criminal justice system are disproportionately affected by a variety of emotional and economic struggles. Most research involves only women who are under criminal justice supervision. Instead of focusing on women who were involved in the criminal legal system at the time of the study, this secondary analysis used generalized estimating equations to assess women’s risk of arrest among a group of women with substance use disorders who also participated in outpatient substance abuse treatment. This study found that increased employment stress (OR = 3.7) and social support stress (OR = 4.3) severity, as recorded through the Addiction Severity Index scoring categories, were associated with arrest in the year after treatment. African American women in this sample were less likely to be arrested (OR = 0.33) post-treatment. Additionally, women who were assigned to trauma-informed treatment were less likely to be arrested (OR = 1.9) post-treatment.

ABSTRACT To better serve the growing population of interracial and interethnic parents raising children and adolescents, social workers must strive to understand their unique experiences. The authors analyzed 15 qualitative interviews with parents in interracial and interethnic marriages raising at least one child 11- to 18-years-old to understand their parenting practices and what they are confronting. Five racial-ethnic socialization strategies were found – cultural socialization, preparation for bias, promoting egalitarianism, imparting anti-racist messages, and teaching the strengths of Biracialism. In addition, three themes or challenges were found that the parents were faced with and to which they needed to respond. These included being affected by the current racial climate in the United States, their children’s racial presentation, and the role the children’s grandparents and extended family play. This paper includes recommendations for social worker practice.

ABSTRACT Children in military families experience a unique combination of stressors associated with military life that may affect every stage of their lives, including their mental health, as well as disrupt their schooling and consequent social, emotional, and academic development. A review of the key issues faced by children is presented including the challenges in providing school-based social work support. A case vignette is used to illustrate how an ecological framework can address many of the unique aspects of military life that affect children, such as mobility, multiple deployments, recent relocation, mental health and wellbeing, family stress, and their impact on social, emotional, and academic outcomes.

ABSTRACT This paper highlights the value of an Environmental Reproductive Justice framework in social work and argues that environmental justice and reproductive justice should not be approached as two distinct issues. Because social work is a human right and social justice focused profession, it is uniquely poised to simultaneously address environmental justice issues impacting reproductive health and wellbeing. An Environmental Reproductive Justice framework centers Intersectionality to address sociopolitical issues at the intersection of environmental and reproductive concerns. We offer examples of organizations utilizing Environmental Reproductive Justice approaches, whether implicitly or explicitly. We conclude with implications for social work education and practice.

ABSTRACT In 2020, almost 46,000 individuals in the United States died from suicide, 1.2 million adults made a suicide attempt, and 12.2 million had serious suicidal thoughts. Clinicians in diverse practice settings will work with clients experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Due to a strong association between trauma and suicidality, suicidology experts have recommended the use of trauma-informed practice when working with clients with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. However, although there are guidelines for trauma-informed care and for working with clients with suicidality, there are no models, explanations, or discussions about how clinicians can provide trauma-informed care in their work with individuals with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This conceptual paper describes examples of the application of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)’s trauma-informed care principles to clinical work with individuals with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Strategies are provided for each of the guiding principles, and case examples used to illustrate strategies, barriers, and potential pitfalls.
