Book excerpt: The eighth edition of this classic textbook confronts students with the two central issues of the social work profession: How can social workers help people deal with personal misfortune? and What can social workers do to help bring about a just society? Answers to these questions come from the book's four main sections. Part One offers perspectives about social work and the kinds of things social workers do. Part Two describes the major policies and programmes social workers use to help people. Part Four discusses helping methods -- the ways clients are connected to social resources -- employed by social workers. Part Five provides case studies that show these helping processes in action. The Field of Social Work s an excellent text for an introductory course in social work. It provides the student with a general introduction to the principles of social work, and proceeds to applications of specific social work methods, providing case studies that illustrate the applications of these methods. Changes that have been made in the Eighth Edition include } new chapters dealing with case management and social work with families } contemporary case studies such as an example of social work in an industrial setting } current methods of social work practice and the latest techniques for applying these methods } innovative ways of working with minorities } new material reflecting the growing interest in working with self-help groups

This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first new social work history to be written in over twenty years, Social Work Practice and Social Welfare Policy in the United States presents a history of the field from the perspective of elites, service providers, and recipients. This book uniquely chronicles and analyzes the development of social work practice theory on two levels: from the top down, looking at the writings, conference presentations, and training course material developed by leaders of the profession; and from the bottom up, looking at case records for evidence of techniques that were actually applied by social workers in the field. Additionally, the author takes a careful and critical look at the development of social work methods, setting it apart from existing histories that generally accept the effectiveness of the field's work. Addressing CSWE EPAS standards at both the BSW and MSW levels, Social Work Practice and Social Welfare Policy in the United States is ideal both as a primary text for history of social work/social welfare classes and a supplementary text for introduction to social work/social welfare or social welfare policy and services classes.

Book excerpt: Public health social work is an interdisciplinary, epidemiologically oriented approach to improving human health and well-being.

It also covers public health social work with special populations and in neighborhood, rural, and global settings.

Download or read book Child Welfare in the Legal Setting written by Thomas M O'Brien and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore legal issues that often hinder the work of child welfare practitioners! Child Welfare in the Legal Setting: A Critical and Interpretive Perspective is a revolutionary study of the child welfare system that is essential for practitioners, educators, and students interested in public child welfare work. It examines the legal system surrounding child welfare workers and highlights their need for agency-specific training. This insightful book challenges the traditional rules of child welfare and paves the way for alternate methods of conceptualizing and organizing child protection. It explores why many family interventions fail and others never even occur. By identifying incongruities between the philosophy of child welfare and its function, this book advocates a more individualistic and efficient technique for assisting clients. Addressing issues and challenges from the initial identification of problems to navigating the legal system, this book is also thorough enough for public child welfare workers who want to take their skills to the next level. The large-system perspective in this book uses the concentric circle model, the rational legal model of legal and court action, and the ritualized process model to examine child welfare practice. Learn why terms such as “child abuse” and “neglect” have become social constructions that vary depending on the values of social workers, judges, attorneys, agencies, and communities. Child Welfare in the Legal Setting: A Critical and Interpretive Perspective examines the standardization of the organizational activities of child welfare systems and how this limits professionals’ ability to accurately recognize unique problems and intervene in the most beneficial manner. Child Welfare in the Legal Setting also provides controversial opinions on emerging issues including: family investigations sanction for Child Protective Services intervention the legal setting as a host environment the function of the child welfare system rationalization of child welfare intervention “trained incapacity” of social workers Title IVE programs the court system Child Welfare in the Legal Setting: A Critical and Interpretive Perspective identifies vital issues by analyzing the ethical and moral foundations of the child welfare system. This insightful book also takes a close look at how practitioners inadvertently devalue their clients by using language that creates stigmatized social categories such as “victim” and “convicted felon.” Supervisors, managers, social workers and child welfare practitioners will benefit from this information. The vignettes that supplement the narrative also make the book an important resource in any child welfare course.

A questionaire was developed to interview and obtain responses from nine experienced retired and prior social workers.

Download or read book Child and Family Welfare written by Patricia-Luciana Runcan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welfare is a multidimensional concept characterizing the state of the individual or a group. It includes a subjective component (self-assessment) and an objective component (external assessment) of material, physical, emotional and social dimensions. Given the current changes of the socio-economical environment, this concept is assuming a prominent role in the agenda of the social sciences. Social work focuses on studying welfare in developing programs and delivering interventions with the highest potential of improving the social functionality of individuals, groups or communities. Moreover, a rights-based approach is the only guarantee we have today for the respect of human dignity and the promotion of welfare for all people, not just those exposed or marginalized. Child and Family Welfare contains 22 papers focusing on welfare from both a theoretical perspective (by discussing the roles of the social work and theology), and an empirical one (by discussing its dimensions: emotional welfare, positive functioning, life satisfaction, and social welfare). This volume is a practical tool, helping the reader to understand the factors related to child and family welfare, and addresses both the general public and professionals, such as social workers, psychologists, therapists, and researchers from the social sciences, involved in promoting childrenâ (TM)s rights and family welfare.
