Social Work in Health and Mental Health: Issues, Developments, and
Actions was created for final year undergraduate and master's level
students in the health and mental health fields. It is primarily a
book on social work practice, discussing how one might approach a
specific health or mental health related problem or issue as a
social worker. Health and mental health are conceptualized broadly
in this volume. The health and well-being of body and mind are seen
as integrally connected, shaped by biological, physics,
psychological, material, social, and structural features and
determinants. Clients are viewed as active, engaged agents, with
strengths and resources from which to draw in meeting everyday
challenges and major life crises. Contributions form around the
world allow the social work student to learn about current practice
in places as diverse as Australia, Finland, China, South Africa,
Wales, Canada, and the United States. Each chapter is accompanied
by both reflection questions and a case study derived from practice
and written to stimulate discussion that develops assessment and
treatment planning skills.
