<DIV>I am doing research on family group conferencing for my PhD 
dissertation.&nbsp; One of the claims made about family group conferencing is 
that it empowers families.&nbsp; I am looking for ways to operationalize 
empowerment as a research concept.&nbsp; Is anyone aware of any studies, scales, 
surveys, questionnaires, etc. that has looked at this specific aspect of family 
identity, morale, functioning, etc?</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>

Dear Colleagues, 

I have a student with whom I am working who is investigating the role of
protective factors in the parenting of fathers who were themselves neglected
as children. She has found an excellent literature as regards physical abuse
and protective factors (e.g., Dante Cicchetti and his colleagues work), but
we've run into somewhat of a roadblock in finding research literature
directly relevant to neglect. Is anyone aware of other major research work
in this area? If so, your assistance would be appreciated. 

Regards, 

Dab
