Social work originates from humanitarian, religious, and democratic
ideals and philosophies, and has universal applications to meet
human needs arising from personal-societal interactions.
Professional social workers are dedicated to service for the
welfare and self-fulfillment of human beings; to the disciplined
use of scientific knowledge regarding human and societal behavior;
to the development of resources to meet individual, group,
national, and international needs and aspirations; and to the
achievement of social justice. This handbook raises issues such as,
Are there globally recognized values of social work? Is there a
model of international practice that is applicable across the range
of interventions--micro to mezzo to macro? Do social workers have a
professional identity which unites them the world over? This
handbook covers the five continents of the globe by presenting the
state of the art theory and practice of social work within selected
countries which have a legacy of social work, either imported from
the west or indigenously developed within the country. In the
context of conditions prevalent in these countries the handbook
highlights the constant challenges facing social workers and social
work organizations to meet the needs of the individuals and
societies they service.
