- Description: M.A. (Social Work) , Sound family life establishes the basis for social stability and is a prerequisite for a community to function orderly. As a profession, social work focuses on activities related to the provision of needs, associated with family care. It is appropriate to assume that social work is mainly concerned with problems related to marriage and family life. This study draws the attention of the profession to the important role that social work should play in growth-orientated development programmes for the family. The main object of this study falls into two categories, namely to determine whether families with normal or minor problems experience a need towards family enrichment, and to evaluate the effectiveness of a family enrichment project, which includes enrichment programmes for both the marriage and parent-child relationships. Twelve families voluntarily took part in the study for seven weeks, two hours per week. Because of the size of the experimental group, it was divided into two groups of six couples each. A family enrichment project directed at marriage and parent-child relationships was developed. The contents of the project were bases on both knowledge and skill components. The model for Human Resource Development was utilised, providing for the acquisition of skills. A manual based on Carkhuff's teaching model facilitated the family enrichment project. A pre-measurement of marriage relationships, parent-child relationships were investigated through a past-test of the mentioned variables at the conclusion of the project ...

- Description: Abstract : Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are highly vulnerable and constitute significant burdens on the families, schools and the global economy. Developing resilience in children with ASD is a major challenge to both teachers and parents. ASD in Africa is characterized by poor functioning, indicating poor resilience among the ASD population and poor knowledge about the disorders. This article discusses the roles of the family in building resilience among children with ASD. Firstly, I explored the roles of parents in developing resilience in children with ASD. Secondly,the roles of siblings in developing resilience in children with ASD; thirdly, the roles of family socio-economic/cultural contexts in developing resilience in children with ASD. Finally, I discussed researches on best practices for resilience in children with ASD and directions for and Educational practices future research.

- Description: Aggression is part of South African society and has implications for the mental health of persons living in South Africa. If parents are aggressive adolescents are also likely to be aggressive and that will impact negatively on their mental health. In this article the nature and extent of adolescents’ experiences of aggression and aggressive behaviour in the family are investigated. A deductive explorative quantitative approach was followed. Aggression is reasoned to be dependent on aspects such as self-concept, moral reasoning, communication, frustration tolerance and family relationships. To analyse the data from questionnaires of 101 families (95 adolescents, 95 mothers and 91 fathers) Cronbach Alpha, various consecutive first and second order factor analyses, correlations, multiple regression, MANOVA, ANOVA and Scheffè/ Dunnett tests were used. It was found that aggression correlated negatively with the independent variables; and the correlations between adolescents and their parents were significant. Regression analyses indicated that different predictors predicted aggression. Furthermore, differences between adolescents and their parents indicated that the experienced levels of aggression between adolescents and their parents were small. Implications for education are given.

- Description: M.A. , The process of sudden hospitalization is often experienced as a negative and traumatic event in people's lives. Traditionally, these traumatic events are dealt with by the medical professionals in the hospital setting. Due to time constraints and the urgent nature ofthe medical crisis, the patient is often left in very capable hands but the family is often left out ofthis process. This type of crisis throws a family into a tumult of disorganization. Parsonnet and Weinstein (1987), state that when patients are critically ill, their families suffer extreme emotional distress, often without the support of medical staffwho must I focus on the needs ofthe patient first. This study focuses on the family from a systemic perspective and looks at the effects on the whole system when one member becomes critically ill. This type of traumatic event can therefore lead to the family experiencing feelings such as fear, helplessness, shock, distress and a total lack ofcontrol. Many ofthese feelings are common to most traumatic events. Three case studies are examined in which families describe their experience ofICU and sudden hospitalization and a qualitative analysis is then conducted to identify common themes among the three families. This research examines how the fields ofsupportive psychotherapy and emergency medicine can be combined in order to create an environment in which not only the patient's needs are attended to, but where the family system's needs can be supported and guided through an otherwise very traumatic experience. The concepts oftrauma and crisis will be discussed, as vyell as how this relates to family systems theory. The experiences offamilies will be discussed in detail and the possible methods that can be employed in order to support a family through this medical crisis. This study is limited in the fact that only one interview was conducted but this is an exploratory study and is therefore only the beginning of an interesting area ofresearch.
