The Journal of Technology in Human Services explores the uses and potentials of computer and related technologies in mental health, developmental disabilities, welfare, and other human services. It covers the full range of applications, including direct service technologies. It not only provides the necessary historical perspectives on the use of technology in the human service field, but it also presents articles providing technology literacy and state-of-the-art developments.
The Journal of Technology in Human Services focuses on areas such as:
Potential and trial uses of new
technology such multimedia, geographic information systems, neural networks,
intranets, extranets, performance support systems, telehealth, and virtual
meetings or communities.
Applications specific to human
service practitioners such as clinicians, managers, fundraisers, and policy
makers. Descriptions of these
applications should include the setting, technologies involved, results, and
lessons learned.
Research studies on topics such as
factors that influence application success, ways to identify and overcome
resistance, the life cycle of agency technology, and the impact of applications.
Discussion of controversial issues
such as confidentiality, liability, job displacement, and data ownership.
Examples of good practice such as
technology strategic plans, feasibility studies, Web course designs, and
evaluations of technology.
