Beschreibung
Health service practice requires diverse approaches and wide-ranging knowledge. This fully revised and expanded third edition draws on the expertise of leading researchers and practitioners to provide a guide to the disparate settings in which social workers are engaged, and the conceptual frameworks needed for effective practice. The book includes three new chapters on taking a human rights approach in restrictive settings; working with women and couples at the significant life stage of pregnancy, birth and infancy; and on working inclusively with families in mental health. Part I provides an overview of the social determinants of health and discusses compassion in healthcare, neoliberalism and indigenous approaches to health. Part II explores key areas of practice including trauma-informed practice, mental health and aged care. Part III looks at politicised issues, and key reform agendas in the field including suicidal distress and refugee health, concluding with a consideration of health social work in regional, rural and remote settings. Underpinning this book is a clear guide to assessment procedures, case management, strengths-based practices and the development of effective partnerships and collaboration. All this makes Social Work Practice in Health. a key reference tool for students and practitioners of social work.
