1	Guiding a child to adjust in a children's home: a Gestalt approach Overberg, Cindy Ann 30 November 2003 (has links) This single case study was undertaken to determine how the Gestalt approach can be used to guide the child to adjust in a children's home. The study dealt with two models of children's homes, namely the traditional setting and the family centered home setting, as well as adjustment and attachment of a single child's experience in the middle school years, in the family centered home setting. In addition, the trauma, loss and culture shock are highlighted to demonstrate the difficulty children experience in adjusting to a new environment such as a children's home. Data were captured around the participant's experience and process, entering the children's home and the facilitating through intervention. Through the intervention the participant's process was identified, helping him to cope with his new situation. Through Gestalt play therapy the participant's active involvement in his adjustment process was clear and his adjustment was increased. / Social work / MDIAC (PLAY THERAPY) Children's home Adjustment Gestalt perspective Play therapy Emotional needs Emotional development Grieve The child's process Cultural shock Single case study 362.7320968 Child development--South Africa Child psychology--South Africa Abandoned children--South Africa Group homes for children--South Africa Social group work--South Africa Social work with children--South Africa Family social work--South Africa Grief in children--South Africa Children--Counseling of--South Africa Child psychotherapy--South Africa Play therapy--South Africa Culture shock--South Africa

3	Dealing with sexually abused children: a framework for social workers in the South African justice system Makhubu, Lindiwe Yvonne 12 1900 (has links) The South African Justice System is a broader system that brings law and order to society. This law and order also includes the constitutional rights of the sexually abused children. A special court dealing with cases of children who are sexually abused is functioning throughout the country. The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for social workers working with children in these special courts. The problem identified is that in these courts no framework exists for social workers focusing on the guidance of the child through the processes of the Justice System. This includes the therapeutic guidance by means of brief or directive therapy. The research methodology for this study focused on developmental research by using the Intervention research model of Rothman and Thomas (1994). The phases implemented in the study were Problem analysis and project planning, information gathering and synthesis and design. Qualitative data was gathered by means of semi-structured interviews and integrated in phase two of the research report. A proto-type guideline was developed and needs to be evaluated in future research. / Social Work / M.Diac.
