–Mary Sormanti, PhD, MSW, Associate Professor of Professional Practice, Columbia University School of Social Work
"Quite simply, this is the definitive volume for health and social work. In this second edition, Gehlert and Browne and their expert contributors have confidently managed to keep pace with current theory and empirical research across a wide range of subject matter that will be of interest to practitioners, educators, and researchers."

Thoroughly revised and updated, the only comprehensive handbook of its kind covering the diverse field of health social work
Now in its Second Edition, Handbook of Health Social Work provides a comprehensive and evidence-based overview of contemporary social work practice in health care. Written from a wellness perspective, the chapters cover practice and research areas ranging from chronic disorders to infectious disease, from physical to mental disorders, and all areas in between.
An excellent resource preparing social workers for the present and future challenges of practice in the field of health care, the Handbook of Health Social Work, Second Edition features discussion on:
- New trends in social work and health care, including genetics, transdisciplinary care, as well as national and state changes in policy
- Health social work and children
- The wide array of roles performed by social workers in health-care settings
- Ethical issues and decision making in a variety of arenas
- Understanding of community factors in health social work
Edited by two respected leaders in the field of health social work, this second edition includes contributions from a diverse team of notable experts, researchers, and scholars addressing multiple theoretical foundations, models, issues, and dilemmas for the social worker in health care.
