Book excerpt: The book “Socio-Psychological Dimensions for Social Work (A Practice guide)” will introduce the discipline of professional social work. Social work is admired as a noble profession across the globe. However, in India, it is yet to be recognized as a full-fledged profession as a profession it is concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own esources, and those of the community to resolve their problems. Social work is concerned with, both the individual and problems and broader social issues. Through its nature, social work reveals its close relationship with other social sciences, like sociology, psychology, psychiatry, political Science, public administration, jurisprudence, history, human geography and other sciences. With this credible input from socio-psychology, social work evolves as a helping profession that contributes to individual‟s growth and development.

This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, social workers deal with individuals, families, and groups struggling with problems that are often chronic, persistent, acute, and/or unexpected. When community and family support systems are weak or unavailable, and when internal resources fail, these populations become vulnerable to physical, cognitive, emotional, and social deterioration. Yet despite numerous risk factors, a large number of vulnerable people do live happy and productive lives.

This third edition reflects new demographic data, research findings, and theoretical developments and accounts for changing economic and political realities and immigration and health care policy reforms. Contributors have expanded their essays to include practice with individuals, families, and groups, and new chapters consider working with military members and their families, victims and survivors of terrorism and torture, bullied children, and young men of color.
