Download or read book Human Rights and Social Equality Challenges for Social Work written by Sven Hessle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the social work profession and the development of social policy are rooted in a set of core values and are the foundation of social work’s unique purpose and perspective. Human rights offer a normative base for social work and for the formation of inclusive social policies. This informative and incisively written edited collection brings together experts from around the world to explore the tension between a normative and a political base of social work and social development and, therefore, to address the question: How can social work and social policies contribute in the endeavor to respect, protect and fulfill human rights? This volume will show that there is no straightforward answer to this question owing to the clash between different sociocultural and local conditions and demands for universal human rights.
Download or read book Social Work Practice with Ethnically and Racially Diverse Nursing Home Residents and Their Families written by Patricia Kolb and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-06 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of its kind, this volume is a critical companion for service providers who work with African American, American Indian, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican American, and Puerto Rican elders and their families in nursing homes and other care settings. These groups are likely to use nursing homes in larger numbers as cultural shifts, such as higher divorce rates and increased outside-of-home employment for females, transform traditional family dynamics. Contributors are experience social workers, and most belong to the specific ethnic or racial group that is the focus of their chapter and have also provided nursing home services to this group. They provide a wealth of demographic, historical, cultural, and practice information crucial to understanding and providing services to older adults and their families. Many nursing home residents experience physical and/or cognitive debilitation and increased dependence as older adults, and cultural and situational differences create variations in how these changes are experienced and addressed. In this volume, contributors touch upon all of these areas, as well as ways in which prejudice and discrimination have shaped intergenerational and other relationships for members of specific ethnic and racial groups. Little has been written about the characteristics, needs, and experiences of racially and ethnically diverse nursing home residents and their families and requirements for culturally competent social work practice. Written by social workers for social workers and other service providers, this book fills a gap in a rapidly growing area of gerontological service and provides a truly comprehensive examination of cultural and practice phenomena.
Download or read book Private Troubles or Public Issues written by Walter Lorenz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bears testimony to the value of a progressive form of academisation of social work education in most European countries, including former communist countries which had to re-establish social work education. It also manifests the confidence of contributors in belonging to a serious academic discipline, and the fruitfulness of bringing research ‘home’ from neighbouring disciplines such as sociology, psychology, social policy, or pedagogy into the mainstream of social work. The contributions to this book converge on a small number of core issues for contemporary social work. These are methodologically the conceptualisation of different and interacting dimensions of diversity, and practically the defence of professionalism and discretion against encroachment by neo-liberal ideologies and cost-cutting regulations. In so doing, this underscores that theory matters in social work. Authentic social work research can demonstrate that social work practice has no reason to shy away from basing itself on evidence and being professionally accountable as long as its notion of evidence recognises and does justice to the complexity of social problems and acknowledges the value of inter-subjectivity in producing useable and ethically grounded evidence. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Social Work.
Download or read book Exploring Social Work written by Bell, Linda and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring various aspects of social work from an anthropological perspective, this original book uses an ‘outsider’ position to develop a reflexive dialogue with social workers from England and elsewhere in Europe. Bell, an anthropologist, worked alongside social work educators and social workers for many years. She widens our insights into social work by offering thought-provoking examples suggesting how social work practitioners view their occupation and their practice, and how wider society views them. Blending research and personal reflection to critically examine social workers’ preoccupations and contributions to society, the author explores identities and definitions in social work, making this book refreshing reading for academics, researchers, students and practitioners.
Download or read book Social Care and Social Exclusion written by T. Blackman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-01-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the diversity of social care provision for older people in six contrasting European countries. Using a common descriptive and analytical framework, the book examines how the organisation and delivery of care are shaped by the wider welfare regime. This is discussed at the level of both practice and policy, including detailed case studies illustrating key features of social care in each country. The authors conclude by showing how the concept of social exclusion can inform service development.
Download or read book Exploring Social Work written by Bell, Linda and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a reflexive anthropological account of social work, this original book widens our insights into the multi-faceted identity of social workers and different cultures of social work, offering an array of thought-provoking international insights into how social work practitioners view society, how their world views can affect their practice and how wider society views them. Considering the growing influence of clinical science and cultural representations of their work, Bell critically examines the changes and challenges in social workers’ preoccupations and contributions to society. Going to the heart of identities and definitions in social work, this book is refreshing reading for academics, researchers, students and practitioners alike.
