How do economic stresses on the family, such as dual-earner
parents, unemployment, and poverty, affect the human service
professional's assessment of the families he or she serves? The
field of family sociology is now providing a wealth of empirical,
relevant knowledge on the impact of macroeconomic issues on the
families most frequently helped by social workers. New Approaches
to Family Practice takes current research driven by the family
systems theoretical framework and applies it to human services
direct practice with families in three specific areas:
employed-work and family-work, unemployment, and poverty. To
illustrate the linkages from research to practice, the book
presents chapters on the theory and research in each of the three
target areas, each followed by a chapter on application and tools
for direct practice in that area. Individual chapters include case
studies, assessment tools, multilevel interventions and
evaluations, and strategies for social change. In addition to being
a rich resource for the human services professional who works with
families, this book is ideal for courses in social work with the
family, social work and human services, family studies, and
clinical/counseling psychology.
