Pardeck and his contributors approach the topic of family health
from a macro perspective. Family health is a holistic approach to
treatment embracing aspects of family functioning not typically
considered in other more traditional approaches to assessment and
treatment. They place particular emphasis on the ecological context
in which the family functions, including the neighborhood,
community, and other larger social systems. Family health is
defined as the development of, and continuous interaction among,
the physical, mental, emotional, social, economic, cultural, and
spiritual dimensions of the family, that result in the holistic
well-being of the family and its members. The chapters in the book
are guided by a number of key premises, including (a) Family health
social work practice is grounded in a biopsychosocial approach to
assessment and treatment; (b) Family health is based in a
systems-ecological approach to assessment and intervention because
of the role that various systems play in the well-being of the
family; (c) Family health views the family system as the most
important system for promoting the growth and development of the
person; (d) Family health social work practice requires close
collaboration between social work practitioners and other
professionals. Based on these basic premises, Pardeck focuses on
the macro level issues of family health practice that include
community intervention, policy and program development, and program
administration. The book is an important resource for social work
professionals, scholars, students, and other researchers involved
with social work practice and human services.
