Service providers are increasingly called upon to serve clients
at home, a setting even a seasoned professional can find difficult
to negotiate. From monitoring the health of older populations to
managing paroled offenders, preventing child abuse, and reunifying
families, home-based services require models that ensure positive
outcomes and address the ethical dilemmas that might arise in such
sensitive contexts.
The contributors to this volume are national experts in diverse
fields of social work practice, policy, and research. Treating the
home as an ecological setting that guides human development and
family interaction, they present rationales for and overviews of
evidence-based models across an array of populations and fields of
practice. Part 1 provides historical background and contemporary
applications for home-based services, highlighting ethical,
administrative, and supervision issues and summarizing the social
policies that shape service delivery. Part 2 addresses home-based
practice in such fields as child and adult mental health, school
social work, and hospice care, detailing the particular population
being treated, the policy and agency context, theories and
empirical data, and practice guidelines. Part 3, the editors
present a unifying framework and suggest future directions for
home-based social work.
