Synopsis
This book introduces a new, integrated framework for social work theory and practice that builds upon five key themes: meaning, context, power, history, and possibility. Its central focus, a social justice approach to social work, reflects the Council on Social Work Education's (CSWE) call to better integrate themes of social justice and diversity, and social science knowledge into the theory and practice of social work. The text prepares students for participatory approaches to engagement, teaching-learning, action, accompaniment, evaluation, critical reflection, and celebration, the seven core processes of the Just Practice Framework. Linkages among practice, research, and policy are integrated throughout the text. The book prepares social workers to engage in new forms of collaborative assessment, planning, intervention, and institution building that 21st century practice demands. A series of reflection and action exercises are included throughout the text. They provide opportunity for creative thought and action, bring class participants together in collaborative learning, and contribute to the practitioner's tool kit for future social 'justice' work.
Well suited as a primary text for courses in multilevel social work practice at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels.About the Author
