Social work theory and ethics places social justice at its core
and recognises that many clients from oppressed and marginalized
communities frequently suffer greater forms and degrees of physical
and mental illness. However, social justice work has all too often
been conceptualized as a macro intervention, separate and distinct
from clinical practice.
This practical text is designed to help social workers intervene
around the impact of socio-political factors with their clients and
integrate social justice into their clinical work. Based on past
radical traditions, it introduces and applies a liberation health
framework which merges clinical and macro work into a singular,
unified way of working with individuals, families, and communities.
Opening with a chapter on the theory and historical roots of
liberation social work practice, each subsequent chapter goes on to
look at a particular population group or individual case study,
including:
- LGBT communities
- Mental health illness
- Violence
- Addiction
- Working with ethnic minorities
- Health
Written by a team of experienced lecturers and practitioners,
"Social Justice in Clinical Practice" provides a clear, focussed,
practice-oriented model of clinical social work for both social
work practitioners and students.
