Description
Oxford Social Work and Social Welfare A Human Rights Foundation 2018 Edition by Katherine Van Wormer, Rosemary J. Link
Unique in its use of a human rights framework, Social Work and Social Welfare goes beyond U.S. 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 the global market and predominant political ideologies affect all social workers in their practice, the book addresses a wide range of relevant topics, including the refugeejourney, the impact of new technologies, war trauma, environmental justice, and restorative justice. As a general textbook, the content is organized to follow course outlines for basic, introductory courses which examine social welfare programs, policies, and issues.
