11. Social Policies for Family Caregivers.

Author

Barer, Barbara M.

Abstract

Demographic changes, changes in women's work roles, and changes in the nature of the family have increased the importance of identifying the effects of government policy on family cohesion and living arrangement decisions. The effect of public policy on the nation's largest source of caregivers, the family support system, is a key issue. While there appears to be considerable interest in promoting and fostering the ability of families to care for their aged members, there is considerable confusion about how this goal can best be accomplished. Policy recommendations which favor funding and services to families rather than promoting institutional care include ongoing funding for respite care, increased adult day health facilities, financial incentives to families, flexible work schedules, education, and advocacy. A recurrent theme in the literature addressing policy issues in providing help to older adults is the respective roles of the informal and the formal support systems. Government programs should be designed to supplement and support, rather than substitute for, family care. (NB)

12. Arthur Lismer, Canada's Artist/Adult Educator: Art as a Lifelong Relationship.

Author

Barer-Stein, Thelma

Abstract

This document examines the key elements of Canadian artist Arthur Lismer's life (1885-1969) and depicts his philosophy as an art educator by excerpting his writings. In addition, the paper examines that philosophy against the framework of Barer-Stein's Universal Learning Process to emphasize the difference between "role internalizing" and "reflective internalizing" and to emphasize the implications of an understanding of this difference for arts providers and promoters. The Universal Learning Process has the following phases and themes: (1) being aware, with themes consisting of relevance, curiosity, and enticement; (2) observing, with themes spectator and sightseer; (3) acting or trying out, with themes witness-appraiser, missionary, cluster-judgment, living-the-life; (4) rote internalizing, with themes behavior and feelings that become habitual and the paradox that the more one knows something the less he or she is aware of knowing it; (5) confronting, with themes conflict, withdrawal, and passivity; and (6) reflective internalizing, with themes consisting of a four-fold response to a disturbance of the familiar (hearing/listening, critical recursive reflective/heeding), and paradox. Lismer supported reflective response over passive reception as both the core of teaching art and practicing it in daily life. If arts education provokes and releases the artistic essence in each individual, art appreciation would always be active response, requiring reflection and dialogue between the art and the self. (The document contains a 22-item bibliography.) (CML)
