Currently there is an enduring and changing meaning of social work
in a world where new crises are being confronted and new
opportunities are arriving in the evolving context of social work
and the related disciplines. There is a question on how to manage
the transformation of social work both productively and creatively
during this global shift. Practitioners and educators can
experience a tragic disorientation when confronted by the diversity
and depth of these crises endured and can face doubts about their
role in social work throughout all these changes and difficult
situations. Alternatives to this disorientation, a comfort with
uncertainty, and a capability to take risks need to urgently be
developed on a professional and personal level for success in the
evolving field. Through historical lens and a review of policies
and value-based approaches, the recontextualization of social work
can be explored. Practical and Political Approaches to
Recontextualizing Social Work explores practical and political ways
in which social work practice has been reconstructed. Chapters
identify this recontextualization of social work and how it is
changing, adapting, and transforming the profession along with
providing the potential implications for the profession. This book
grants insight on the reconstruction of social work on the personal
and interpersonal level ("case" work) and also on those intending
to impact social work on the local/global environment level in all
dimensions: politically, economically, socially, and ecologically.
In addition, the book includes a shift from the present short-term
and micro/personal view to a future and much broader and
encompassing perspective and practice vision. This book is
essential for social workers, practitioners, policymakers,
government officials, researchers, academicians, and students who
want to learn more about the recontextualizing of modern social
work in a shifting global environment.
Booklet - Biblical Perspective, identifies the manifestations of
pride, the attributes of humility and defines the "put on and put
off" counseling approach.
