Among the significant trends in human services during the 1980s has
been the emergence of emphasis on social networks and social
supports in research, prevention, and treatment efforts. Today's
human service professionals and planners routinely incorporate
information about social networks and social supports into
assessments and interventions for a wide range of individual and
community problems. Social Support Networks is the most
comprehensive, up-to-date bibliography yet published on the theory,
research, and practical application of social support networks.
Containing approximately 2,700 references, it offers detailed
listings for journal articles, books, book chapters, and published
reports which appeared from 1983 to 1987. In recent years, social
support networks have become a focus for research and scholarship
in anthropology, epidemiology, nursing, psychiatry, psychology,
public health, social work, and sociology. The literature
represented in this bibliography includes a focus on theory,
research, practice, and policy drawn from these as well as other
disciplines. As such, the volume lends itself to the transfer of
ideas and practice across various branches of the social support
intervention field, particularly addressing the requirements of
practitioners who may feel they have become limited in their
response to social problems by relying on their agencies'
traditional ways of meeting client needs. The bibliography is
divided into five major headings: Overview and Theory,
Research-Physical Health, Research-Mental Health, Intervention, and
Professional Roles and Policy, and all entries are consecutively
numbered to aid cross-referencing by the Author and Subject
Indexes. To further facilitate cross-referencing, many Subject
Index terms also have sub-indices. This important reference tool
will be welcomed by service providers and planners in gerontology,
nursing, psychiatry, psychology, public health, social work,
sociology, anthropology, and urban affairs.
