“…Social workers in practice, research, and policy arenas can collaborate with their medical colleagues in promoting excellent health care services for girls and women. Finally, we would do well to acknowledge and eliminate the subtle sexism and inequity that continues to exist, for example, in social work journals that are representative of the social work curriculum (Grise-Owens, 2002). Greater understanding of historical antecedents and achievements, and the various ways genderbiased beliefs and attitudes have and continue to permeate women's health care practice, policy, and research is vital to social work efforts to foster change in these arenas.…”

With the advent of second-wave feminism during the 1970s, a significant body of literature emerged describing sexist practices in women's health care. Gender-bias and gender disparities found in women's health care became concerns that garnered considerable attention in the United States because of the increased health risks posed for women. This article describes key historical challenges and accomplishments made in U.S. women's health care policy during the quarter century spanning 1970-1995 that influence contemporary health care social work practice and social work education.

“…The two separate but closely related studies on which this cross‐national comparison is based involved an analysis of the contents of the Australian Social Work and Canadian Social Work journals. Analysis of journal contents can offer us a sense of what was considered important in the field (Grise‐Owens, 2002); what was included or omitted can indicate the importance placed on particular issues. Following McMahon's (2002) approach, content analysis was undertaken to systematically categorize, manage and order selected contents to develop inferences towards a critical discourse analysis.…”

This article offers a cross‐national comparison of social work in two countries, Australia and Canada, about the care of Indigenous children within the context of colonization and the evolving profession. The discussion is based on data from two empirical studies that examined professional discourse relating to the removal of Indigenous children from their families and Indigenous peoples more broadly within key historical time frames. The studies involved a content analysis of the flagship journals of the Australian and Canadian professional associations. It is argued that a critical interrogation of professional discourse within these historical and national particularities provides insights that can inform a broader understanding of how practices and constructions of social work are shaped within contemporary practice contexts. The studies revealed that very little attention was paid to problematizing colonial policies and practices, including the state‐sanctioned forcible removal of countless Indigenous children from their biological families, while the professions in both countries were complicit in the oppressive treatment of Indigenous peoples that have left a legacy of intergenerational trauma. The findings suggest a way of understanding social work as a discipline beyond the historical specificities of the two countries that has relevance to social work across the globe.

“…Journals are instrumental in building the science of practice, guiding practitioners in utilizing effective methods, promoting professional dialogue, and generating new interests (Brekke, 2012). A systematic review of journals can yield insight into what is most significant; the presence or absence of topics conveys important messages about a profession’s focus (Grise-Owens, 2002). …”

In light of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s goals of better patient care, cost control, and improved population outcomes, prevention is emerging as an important component of health reform. As a result, broad societal interest in prevention is growing, together with widespread interest in public health. The profession, with its extensive involvement in the health system and deep roots in public health, needs to know more about its relationship to prevention. This study builds upon the Social Work Interest in Prevention Study–which evaluated the extent, types, and levels of prevention content in nine social work journals over a six year time period from 2000–2005. The goal of the expanded study, the Social Work Interest in Prevention Study-Expansion (SWIPS-E), was to assess whether interest in prevention had increased over the full decade, which included the time period in which health care reform was enacted.
