This book addresses a range of key issues concerning social work
education, research and practice in India and Australia from a
cross-cultural perspective. The respective chapters focus on
specific areas of social work regarding e.g. the status and
recognition of the profession, regulatory mechanisms, roles and
functions of social workers in different settings, and issues and
challenges faced by the social work community. The book shares
valuable perspectives to help understand the culturally sensitive
practice of social work in various socio-cultural, economic and
political contexts in both countries. Given the scope of its
coverage, the book is of interest to scholars, students and
professionals working in the areas of social work, social
development and social policy practice.
This book presents a comprehensive theory of the ethics and
political philosophy of public health surveillance based on
reciprocal obligations among surveillers, those under surveillance,
and others potentially affected by surveillance practices. Public
health surveillance aims to identify emerging health trends,
population health trends, treatment efficacy, and methods of health
promotion--all apparently laudatory goals. Nonetheless, as with
anti-terrorism surveillance, public health surveillance raises
complex questions about privacy, political liberty, and justice
both of and in data use. Individuals and groups can be chilled in
their personal lives, stigmatized or threatened, and used for the
benefit of others when health information is wrongfully collected
or used. Transparency and openness about data use, public
involvement in decisions, and just distribution of the benefits of
surveillance are core elements in the justification of surveillance
practices. Understanding health surveillance practices, the
concerns it raises, and how to respond to them is critical not only
to ethical and trustworthy but also to publicly acceptable and
ultimately sustainable surveillance practices. The book is of
interest to scholars and practitioners of the ethics and politics
of public health, bioethics, privacy and data technology, and
health policy. These issues are ever more pressing in pandemic
times, where misinformation can travel quickly and suspicions about
disease spread, treatment efficacy, and vaccine safety can have
devastating public health effects.

The two volumes of Death, Dying, and the Ending of Life present the
core of recent philosophical work on end-of-life issues. Volume I
examines issues in death and consent: the nature of death, brain
death and the uses of the dead and decision-making at the end of
life, including the use of advance directives and decision-making
about the continuation, discontinuation, or futility of treatment
for competent and incompetent patients and children. Volume II, on
justice and hastening death, examines whether there is a difference
between killing and letting die, issues about physician-assisted
suicide and euthanasia and questions about distributive justice and
decisions about life and death.

This (SECOND EDITION) book is about 'strengths-based practice' in
social work. Strengths based practice refers to the identification
of 'strengths' within an individual, family, or community, which
are then employed to aid in promoting self-fulfilment and healing
in a client. Strengths-based practice is a deliberate shift away
from language and practices based on a client's deficits or
pathology--- a widespread approach that has dominated many fields
within social science for some time--- to one that focuses on the
client's strengths. This premise is not a new idea as it has
existed in the writings and practice of many of the great
philosophical leaders and social work practitioners.
St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original The original has
been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have
been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain
faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in
textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic
reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual
reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
