    LI Ai-Juan-1, 2 , Bai-Xiao-Juan-1
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2015, 15 (4): 17-22. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (482KB) ( 2684 )
     Parents of autistic children face more pressure compared with those from normal families. Surveys and interviews are taken among autistic children′s parents from lowincome families in privatefunded rehabilitation agencies, to know more about their psychological pressure and methods to alleviate pressure. The results show that they are under great pressure and have no effective solution. On that basis, group work is designed to help them alleviate pressure. By evaluating the effect of group work, it is found that group work can effectively alleviate the pressure and enable them to find various coping methods. It is suggested that lowincome parents of autistic children can alleviate their pressure and improve their coping abilities in the four aspects, namely enriching knowledge and skill reserve, sufficient time to prepare and effective time management, expanding income sources and strengthening social support system.

    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2015, 15 (4): 23-29. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (507KB) ( 2685 )
     Social work is a profession with strong value guidance and practiceoriented. In recent years, government has promoted the building of the integrated family service centre by using purchase service. Social work as a new kind of occupation is emerging in coastal areas of Guangdong Province. Although social work is facing unprecedented development opportunities, as social work practitioners, we need to be fully aware of the four kinds of ethical dilemmas: first, transplantation from the West and complex social system; second, the independence and adherence of professional development; third, the professional value of helping people and help themselves and the reality of scarce resources; fourth, quantitative performance evaluation and lack of human care.

    HAN Jing
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2015, 15 (4): 30-34. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (528KB) ( 2885 )
     The ITP(Integration of Theory and Practice) circular pattern proposed by Marion Bogo and Elaine Vayda provides a new way to solve the problem of disconnection of theory and practice for social workers. Through the continuous cycle of this process which examines the value system of social workers and their conditions of professional knowledge from the recalling to reflection, coupling, and then to the professional response, the social workers can complete the professional intervention to service targets. The use of ITP circular pattern further enriches the evidenceoriented theory in social work, but the internalization of this mode needs social worker′s personal efforts, professional supports from the supervisors, and system support of professional service agencies.

    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (590KB) ( 2476 )
     The migration of peasant workers in China are mainly employment-based, and some of them take up an occupation in informal economy. The investigation into the scattered human porterage in Chongqing reveals that rurality inherent in peasants is carried over in human porterage, and reflects the close relations between the particularity of this means of livelihood and the qualifications and needs of practitioners, practitioners′ cultural values and customs and the particular means of livelihood, as well as local citizens′ cultural characteristics and practitioners′ cultural characteristics. These findings provide a new angle to the research of market demand and employment space for porterage in Chongqing.

    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2015, 15 (4): 42-49. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (746KB) ( 3854 )
     As a model of postmodern treatment, narrative therapy proposes the reexamining of the story, separating the problem from people. Through the externalization of the questions,  it discloses the discursive power behind the story and searches for the omitted episodes to reconstruct the life story. In the “localization” of the narrative therapy, it offers a possibility for people to achieve selfhealing through self narrative to reexamine their life. This paper puts forward the concept of narrative selfhealing and analyze its action mode, explores how an individual externalizes problems, searches for omitted fragments, selftalk and deduction through selfawakening, thus achieving the rewriting of one′s life story.

    ZHAO Cui-Ping, DU Fen-Gen-
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2015, 15 (4): 69-73. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (431KB) ( 2381 )
     Because of the policy disparity between State expropriation and collective diversion, there is a great gap in the allocation of land value increment in the process of transforming agricultural land to nonagricultural uses. From the perspective of the gap out of the two different ways of land use transfer, this paper analyzes the original intention of the policy from its evolution, and deems that it is not intended to encroach the land value increment of the peasants. The policy of transforming agricultural land to nonagricultural uses, directly or indirectly affects the land value increment of the related land. The disparity in the policies leads to the imbalance in the profit distribution of the land value increment. In the State land expropriation, the coexistence of public interest and business interest makes the local government transform from a management government to operating government; the legal and illegal handling coexist in transforming agricultural land to nonagricultural uses which leads to the chaos in the distribution of land value increments. The upstarts coexist with farmers without land, job or social security in the compensation for land expropriation, making land requisition trapped in a compensation dilemma.
