Unique in its use of a human rights framework, Social Work and Social Welfare goes beyond American borders to examine U. S. government policies - including child welfare, social services, health care, and criminal justice - within a global context. Guided by the belief that forces from theglobal market and predominant political ideologies affect all social workers in their practice, the book addresses a wide range of relevant topics, including the refugee journey, the impact of new technologies, war trauma, environmental justice, and restorative justice. As a general textbook, thecontent is organized to follow outlines for basic, introductory, and more advanced courses examining social welfare programs, policies, and issues. | Social Work and Social Welfare by Katherine van Wormer, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
