After graduating, students in social work are faced with the
daunting and stressful decision of choosing their specialty from
the many that are available to them. JessicaRosenberg has designed
this guidebook to make this process easier, providing students with
real world and practical information about what it is really like
to work as a social worker. Each chapter covers a different
practice setting, such as child welfare, gerontology, and
addictions, and follows the same format.
The Field Overview and Forecast describes the social worker s
role, scope of services, and emerging issues and employment trends.
The Critical Issues section consists of an interview with an
established professional in his or her chosen field, offering a
look into their personal journeys as they progressed through their
careers. A vignette written by a practitioner in their area of
specialty makes-up the First Person Narrative, providing the reader
with a look at the joys and challenges of working in that
particular field. Each chapter then concludes with helpful
resources to learn more, such as books and websites, as well as
information about specialty credentials and educational programs
and centres. Those entering the social work field will find this an
indispensible guide as they select their specialty and begin their
career.
