The profession of social work has, since its inception, stressed
the importance of the family system in practice and policy
development. Even though the family has always been central to
effective social work practice, the framing of the family system
from a holistic health perspective is new to the field. This
collection develops a family health perspective that will
facilitate effective social work practice and policy
development.
Family health is an emerging practice orientation within the
field of social work. A family health orientation practice utilizes
a holistic approach that examines family strength and stress inside
and outside the family system. How families perceive these
conditions and their ability to adapt and change will greatly
determine how concerns are managed by the family system. A critical
role of the social work practitioner is to help families deal with
these pressures at both the micro and macro levels.
The family health perspective examined in this collection deals
with assessment and intervention through a family health approach;
research and evaluation on family health; family health and
cultural diversity; family health and social policy; and social
service delivery through a family health approach.
