ABSTRACT This paper details how innovative collaboration can break down barriers to service for opioid-affected families in a rural northern state, addressing the medical needs of infants receiving care as well as supporting ongoing well-being for their adult caregivers. In so doing, the program provides a model for addressing potential disparities rooted in dimensions of social class related to rurality. Consistent with this special issue, social class is broadly viewed as the intersectionality between access or barriers to power rooted in economics, education, politics, employment, and aspects of diversity and identity such as culture, gender, sexual orientation, rurality, or language, as examples.

Smith Studies has devoted a certain number of journals to “special interests,” highlighting theoretical models, diversity, end of life challenges, and other contemporary topics in the field of social work. These special issues complement the mission of the School and the Smith Studies Journal, which is to educate social workers in clinical practice, grounded in theory, research, professional ethics, social justice and the School’s commitment to antiracism. This special issue of Smith Studies addresses social class as an important component of the various contextual components of diversity, a recurring theme in social work literature (Strier, 2009). Karl Marx developed the concept of social class in the nineteenth century to explain the impact of political and economic structures on social life. Class centered power relations are part of America’s political legacy from Great Britain’s class system and inherited ideas about poverty. In America, racial and class dominance are intertwined, and political and economic power is held by the white ruling elite. The structural issues of poverty, race, ethnicity, gender, and cultural inequality are all tied to the dynamics of class. Institutional forces maintain differential access to resources, and constitute the personal and structural consequences of classism, such as access to a privileged school or a safe neighborhood (Coleman 2012; Isenberg, 2016). A disproportionate number of the working poor and unemployed are persons of color. (Coleman, 2012; Cherlin, 2014). Historically, there has also been a poor and working-class population of whites (Isenberg, 2016; Vance, 2016). As Isenberg (2016, p. xv) notes: “Our class system is hinged on the evolving political rationales used to dismiss or demonize (or occasionally reclaim) those white rural outcasts seemingly incapable of becoming part of the mainstream society,” disparagingly referred to as “white trash”.’ It is noteworthy; however, that there are assets and privileges associated with being White in the United States which enables: “White folks in the lower stratums of household wealth to distinguish themselves from communities of color and instead identify with white individuals who are most advantaged by the economic assets of whiteness” (Clark & Spanierman, 2019, p. 141).
Smith Studies在一定数量的期刊上专门报道了“特殊兴趣”，突出了社会工作领域的理论模式、多样性、生命终结挑战和其他当代主题。这些特刊补充了学校和《史密斯研究杂志》的使命，该杂志以理论、研究、职业道德、社会正义和学校对反种族主义的承诺为基础，对社会工作者进行临床实践教育。这期《史密斯研究》特刊将社会阶级作为多样性的各种背景组成部分的重要组成部分，这是社会工作文学中反复出现的主题（Strier，2009）。卡尔·马克思在19世纪提出了社会阶级的概念，以解释政治和经济结构对社会生活的影响。以阶级为中心的权力关系是英国阶级制度遗留下来的美国政治遗产的一部分，并继承了关于贫困的思想。在美国，种族和阶级统治交织在一起，政治和经济权力由白人统治精英掌握。贫困、种族、民族、性别和文化不平等等结构性问题都与阶级动态有关。制度力量维持着对资源的不同获取，并构成了阶级主义的个人和结构性后果，例如进入特权学校或安全社区（Coleman 2012；伊森伯格，2016）。有色人种在贫困劳动者和失业者中所占比例过高。（Coleman，2012；Cherlin，2014）。从历史上看，白人中也有穷人和工人阶级（Isenberg，2016；万斯，2016）。正如Isenberg（2016，第xv页）所指出的：“我们的阶级制度取决于不断演变的政治理性，这些理性被用来解雇或妖魔化（或偶尔收回）那些似乎无法成为主流社会一部分的白人农村弃儿，”被轻蔑地称为“白人垃圾”值得注意的是；然而，在美国，身为白人有一些资产和特权，这使得：“家庭财富较低阶层的白人能够将自己与有色人种社区区分开来，转而认同白人经济资产最有利的白人个人”（Clark&Spanierman，2019，第141页）。

ABSTRACT Although the field of clinical social work has historically distinguished itself among the helping professions by its attentiveness to the ecological systems within which client struggles are embedded, the role of structural factors in shaping the professional activities of clinicians themselves often goes under-theorized. This paper argues that the erasure of structure and political economy from clinical social workers’ accounts of their own career trajectories and treatment decisions is not oversight. Rather, it occurs in response to social workers’ ambivalence or guilt regarding their aspirations to upward class mobility – feelings that arise, in part, out of a set of contradictory imperatives into which workers are socialized through their clinical training. By disavowing the impact of structural constraints on their own work, clinicians preserve a sense of professional integrity and moral agency under what are often compromised, frustrating, or heart-wrenching working conditions. However, this tactic of self-preservation may lead clinical social workers to inadvertently naturalize and reproduce some of the very structural inequalities that the profession is committed to redressing.

ABSTRACT This paper seeks to explore and depict the implicit force of classism impacting social work practice and discourse using the example of white rural poverty. The demographics and the specific psychosocial needs of this population will be explored. Cultural attitudes toward the white rural poor will also be examined, as well as the origin of the negative and pejorative sentiments that exist toward this population. Social work’s participation in perpetuating these negative biases and stereotypes will be addressed, both currently and historically. The historic examples illustrated herein are social works’ participation in the national eugenics movement and the efforts to eradicate hookworm in the early 20th century. These historic examples will be used as the backdrop to the examination of classist beliefs. By using boundary theory and the concept of implicit biases, this paper seeks to demonstrate the creation of belonging or not-belonging based on class standing. Using composite case material from this writer’s own experience as a clinician working in primarily impoverished rural enclaves, this paper will highlight the risk of practicing clinically without acknowledging the implicit class bias at play in a cross-class dyad.

ABSTRACT Social class has many meanings and components – economic, social, political, one’s sense of identity, and how class intersects with other social identities – so it is difficult to define it briefly and succinctly. These definitions are further complicated by a global lens, where family of origin, geography, and other factors can pre-determine social class. In this article, we explore the complexities and contradictions of social class in the context of the United States as we believe that this is important for social work, particularly in the age of Donald Trump, where class, and its intersection with race and immigration status, is often used as a weapon to divide society and seek political advantages. While such use of class categories is not new in this country or in political rhetoric globally, the current climate in the United States warrants a review.

ABSTRACT This study explores marital satisfaction, division of child tasks, and satisfaction with the division of childcare outcomes among low-income Caucasian and Mexican American (MA) couples with young children. Participants were 521 California couples, nearly three-fourths MA. Using a series of regression models to examine how ethnicity/nativity status, earner status (dual or single) and gender were related to each outcome variable; results showed that fathers generally, single-earner couples generally, dual-earner MA fathers, and MA mothers in couples with Mexican nativity were happier in their relationships. Fathers in dual-earner relationships were more involved in childcare tasks than their single-earner counterparts among Caucasians, but gender, ethnicity, and nativity differences were related to parental dissatisfactions with how childcare tasks were divided. Multivariate regression models adjusted for demographic and socioeconomic status factors changed results very little, except earner status and marital satisfaction were no longer associated. Discussion focuses on couple dynamics of sharing work and parenting roles, MA values, and implications for clinical work and future research.

ABSTRACT The profession of social work has a long-standing history of considering the impact of social class on society and current social work training emphasizes the influence of intersectionality and differences in the identities of social workers and clients based on socioeconomic status, race, gender and age on the therapeutic alliance. Clinicians are encouraged to foster trust within the alliance through acknowledgment of differences and attunement to client experiences and client perceptions of oppression. Yet relatively little clinical literature has addressed the influence of clinicians’ socioeconomic status on the therapeutic alliance, or on the development of treatment plans and methods. The authors use two clinical case examples to explore these issues and how clinicians can effectively address them within the alliance.

ABSTRACT A core standard of clinical social work is cultural competence and much has been written about its practice and application across difference, particularly in the arena of transference and countertransference. One of the least explored differences for cultural competence practice is class difference. Due to American erasure of the acknowledgment of the culture of class, this human experience often remains hidden to the practitioner, leading to enactments from hidden biases resulting from the intersection of many identities of both the clinical and client. Through the example of a real-life experience, this paper examines how one clinician became more aware of this unconscious material and its impacts on clinical work.
