Social Workers’ Views of Parents of Children with Mental and Emotional Disabilities

In response to concerns expressed by parents of children with emotional and mental disabilities about professionals’ attitudes and beliefs, the authors surveyed the views of a sample of clinical social workers. The majority of respondents in a national random sample endorsed statements expressing validating attitudes toward parents, agreement with open information sharing, and agreement with providing specific guidance to parents about how to help their children.
