This is the first book to focus on the scope of social work
practice within military settings from an international
perspective, and therefore addresses what has been a significant
gap in the literature. Given the critical support needs of military
personnel and their families worldwide, and the expanding role of
social work in responding to these needs, this book offers a
comprehensive global understanding of the common military social
work (MilSW) practices with active duty military service members
and their families, as well as the forms of practice and approaches
that are unique, or potentially transferable across nations. Based
on a systematic inquiry conducted by the Editors, there are at
least 25 countries that have social workers working directly within
their country's military in either a civilian or uniformed
capacity, or both. This book includes contributions from experts in
Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Israel, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and the USA, who
describe various aspects of the MilSW role within their country and
the research that informs what military social workers do. The
MilSW similarities and differences among these countries are
highlighted, including developmental milestones, practice settings,
practice orientation and approach, ethical dilemmas, military to
veteran transition support, and past and current challenges.
Experts from countries that do not yet have MilSW but are
interested in developing it (Japan, Ukraine) or are in the process
of establishing this area of practice (Slovakia), also contribute
chapters about these developments and the evidence base that
supports this direction. Military Social Work Around the Globe is a
valuable resource for social work programs and essential reading
for instructors and students in MilSW electives and
specializations. It is also pertinent reading for occupational
social work and international social work courses. In addition,
this book is an important source of information for military social
workers who would like to gain insights into existing programs and
the possibilities for international collaboration, and for
countries interested in developing MilSW.
