a Google of Ms. Van Worner yields she's written:

Social Work with Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals: A Strengths Perspective

Restorative Justice and Social Work By Katherine van Wormer, MSSW, PhD

This quote from the latter is instructive about Ms. Warner:

Before I became a social worker, I spent a lot of time around the courts. As an instructor of criminal justice, I studied the adversary system and played a limited role in helping defense attorneys with jury selection. Much of what I learned about justice in the United States—the plea bargaining, the guilty released on minor technicalities, the “one-size-fits-all” harsh sentencing, the win-or-lose mentality—was disillusioning. Books such as Karl Menninger’s The Crime of Punishment, Howard Zehr’s Changing Lenses: A New Focus for Crime and Justice, and Jeffrey Reiman’s The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison: Ideology, Class, and Criminal Justice provide compelling critiques of the standard, Anglo-Saxon form of justice.

Katherine van Wormer, MSSW, PhD is an obvious intellectual fraud and charlatan.

My vision of hell would be having to suffer through one of her horrific "Social Work with Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexual" classes.

One can only imagine the brain rot and robot-like propaganda parroting one would have to vomit out to get a "A" in that septic tank of a class (Straight males like me would get no higher than a "C" automatically).
