People all over the world are confronted daily by issues such as
poverty, a lack of access to quality education, unaffordable and or
inadequate housing, and a lack of needed health and mental
services. These issues are dynamic and varied, and social workers
need to have access to relevant and timely evidence-based materials
to meet the needs of those facing them. The Social Workers' Desk
Reference is a comprehensive resource for practicing social
workers. This essential reference is extraordinarily comprehensive
and provides updated information in 15 parts covering the
profession and its overarching themes; values, ethics, licensure;
theoretical constructs; assessment; treatment plans; techniques;
individual, family, and group Interventions; evidence-based
practice; case management; community practice; vulnerable
populations; behavioral and mental health; school social work;
military social work; and forensic social work. All 163 chapters,
written by experts in the field, are focused, practical, and
contain critical content in addition to websites and updated
references. The fourth edition follows in the tradition of the
first three editions and updates previous topics but fearlessly
addresses current salient subjects such as white nationalism,
gaming disorder, substance abuse, LGBTQ+ populations, suicide,
sexual violence in the military, smart decarceration, the legacy of
racism, neurobiology, technology and social work practice,
Islamophobia, pseudoscientific behavioral and mental health
treatments, emerging fields of practice, and more. It has greatly
expanded its section on vulnerable populations to address the wide
variety of diversity in the U.S.
