Introduction to social work (Paperback)

Introduction to Social work deals effectively with relevant aspects of the nationally approved exit level outcomes that were formulated by the Social work standards generating body. This comprehensive book deals with a range of issues, from the early history of social work, to working with individuals and small groups in contemporary debates around economic policy, and macro level intervention, management, administration and research. It also covers youth at risk, HIV/AIDS, child sexual abuse and addiction as particular fields of practice. No introductory social work text would be complete without covering the salient areas of poverty, diversity and multicultural practice, values and ethics and theories for practice and these areas are included too.
