Description

Winner of the 2019 Textbook Excellence Award from the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA)

The best-selling Introduction to Social Work takes students to the root of the social work profession by covering its history, practice settings, and career paths within a unique advocacy framework. This advocacy practice and policy model comprised of four componentsâ€”economic and social justice, a supportive environment, human needs and rights, and political accessâ€”provides an effective lens for viewing todayâ€™s social issues. Throughout the book, an emphasis on advocacy underscores the transformative opportunities and contributions of social work on not just the clinical/client level, but also at organizational, community, national, and international levels. The Second Edition closely aligns with the latest Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) from the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and references the 2018 Code of Ethics from the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Through the authorsâ€™ inclusion of reflective practice, students will be encouraged to engage in critical thought and contemplate a career in social work.
