This wide-ranging collection of essays offers valuable insights
into the cultural issues involved in the practical application of
social work theories. Leading contributors explore the challenges
faced by indigenous populations and ethnic minority groups,
examining how they can gain control over their position as minority
populations, and offering valuable guidance on cross-cultural work.
The direct implementation of four established theoretical
approaches - ecological systems, community development,
strengths-based approaches and attachment theories - is shown in a
variety of contexts, including mental health care, trauma
counselling and child protection. Using community development work
in Australia and New Zealand as a case study, the contributors also
advocate using these approaches in work with migrants and refugees.
Social Work Theories in Action recognizes the importance of drawing
on the strengths of families, individuals and communities and
offers theoretical perspectives that can be applied in everyday
work situations. It is essential reading for social and community
workers, mental health professionals and social work students.
