Social work is a discipline committed to social justice and human
rights, and to improving the well-being of individuals, families,
communities and societies. But the world is changing, with
environmental disasters, an increase in violent conflict and the
aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis impacting negatively on
human and ecological well-being. Social workers are often working
at the forefront of these and other challenging situations, and
they must apply knowledge and skills to their practice in a
thoughtful and ethical way. What kind of knowledge and skills will
social workers need to succeed in this intellectually and
emotionally demanding job? Broad-ranging in scope and depth, this
highly readable text introduces readers to the key concepts in
social work - such as empathy, reflective practice and notions of
risk - and provides both a focus on the theory and research
literature that informs each one, and an examination of how each
will aid practitioners in their day-to-day work. With the help of
engaging practice examples that contextualize the topics under
discussion, the book also draws on ideas and literature from other
disciplines - including philosophy, sociology and psychology - in
order to promote the open-mindedness and depth of understanding
required for practice with people from all walks of life. An
accessible text that brings all of the major social work concepts
together in one place, Key Concepts and Theory in Social Work is an
essential book for students and practitioners alike.
