Handbook on Financial Social Work and Clinical Implications
Axton Betz-Hamilton, Karen Zurlo, Christine Callahan, and Jodi Frey
Axton Betz-Hamilton and Karen Zurlo are contributing authors, "Financial Abuse and Victimization of Older Adults." pp 26-37.
Book Description: The Routledge Handbook on Financial Social Work explicates the financial needs, issues, and interventions within populations and theoretical approaches, and it assists clinician practitioners in intervening expertly and comprehensively. This book covers a range of issues in populations seeking services around complex financial needs and struggles, including those in the child welfare system; those with housing issues or facing homelessness; those coping with chronic and acute medical and psychiatric illnesses; those recovering from interpersonal violence; those facing recovery from incarceration; children and families involved in the child welfare system; and much more. In addition, policies will be woven in to inform the work. This book thoroughly explores research and evidence-based interventions around each population, and teaches clinicians to understand and treat financial distress holistically and empathically.
This handbook will explain why understanding financial capability in these populations is so critical and how clinicians can step up their practices to meet those needs. Professionals from multiple disciplines ranging from financial therapists to social workers to financial coaches to financial planners will find this handbook eminently useful.

Gender, Sexual Identity, and Families: The Personal is Political
Pamela B. Teaster, Virginia Vincenti, Axton Betz-Hamilton, Cory Bolkan, Cynthia Jasper, Kevin P. Lyness, and Judith L. Fischer
Pamela B. Teaster, Virginia Vincenti, Axton Betz-Hamilton, Cory Bolkan, and Cynthia Jasper are contributing authors, "Themes From Elder Financial Exploitation by Family Member Powers of Attorney."
Book Description: Volume 5: Gender, Sexual Identity, and Families: The Person is Political Gender is a fundamental organizing principle of families and is a complex mix of biology, identity and behavioral expression. Similarly, sexual identity includes a wide range of identification of sexual attraction and expression, and is also fundamental to understanding families. In 2016 Groves Conference program built on the Groves Conference's past and recognized the social change has been swift in some areas, such as marriage equality with the 2015 Supreme Court ruling. However, full equality for all individuals and families throughout the U.S. is still not present and counter movements to social change are many, such as turning back the clock on fertility decisions, voting rights, even the definition of citizenship. For professionals who do research, who participate in policy, and who conduct prevention and intervention, the work presented in this volume is refreshed by new perspectives, new information, and new commitments.

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Economics and Society
Frederick F. Wherry, John Grable, and Wookjae Heo
Wookjae Heo and John Grable are contributing authors, "Korean Immigration." pp 1007-1008, and "Koreatown." pp. 1008-1011.
Book description: Economics is the nexus and engine that runs society, affecting societal well-being, raising standards of living when economies prosper or lowering citizens through class structures when economies perform poorly. Our society only has to witness the booms and busts of the past decade to see how economics profoundly affects the cores of societies around the world. From a household budget to international trade, economics ranges from the micro- to the macro-level. It relates to a breadth of social science disciplines that help describe the content of the proposed encyclopedia, which will explicitly approach economics through varied disciplinary lenses. Although there are encyclopedias of covering economics (especially classic economic theory and history), the SAGE Encyclopedia of Economics and Society emphasizes the contemporary world, contemporary issues, and society.

Handbook of Research on Behavioral Finance and Investment Strategies: Decision Making in the Financial Industry
Zeynep Copur, Jorge Ruiz-Menjivar, Wookjae Heo, and John E. Grable
Jorge Ruiz-Menjivar, Wookjae Heo, and John Grable are contributing co-authors, "The Effects of Situational and Dispositional Factors on the Change in Financial Risk Tolerance." pp. 201-220. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-7484-4.ch012
Utilizing the lens of Heider's (1958) attribution theory and Grable and Joo's (2004) conceptual framework, this chapter studies the effect of situational and dispositional attributions on changes in financial risk tolerance. Situational factors are assessed through changes in household situation and changes in macroeconomic factors. For dispositional factors, changes upon sensation seeking attitudes are explored. The data employed in this research come from the 1993, 1994, and 2006 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 5,449). Results from structural equation modeling indicate that changes in internal attributions have a significant and positive effect (coefficient = 0.12, p <0.01) on the change in risk tolerance, as is true for changes in external attributions where a significant effect is seen (coefficient = 0.30, p <0.01). Thus, the findings from this study support the conceptual framework premised on Heider's attribution theory and Grable and Joo's (2004) conceptual model.
