Transformative Social Work Practice presents an innovative and integrative approach towards critically reflective practice with an interweaving of micro, mezzo, and macro applications to real world demands. The authors explore issues commonly addressed by social workers, including health, mental health, addictions, schools, and family and community violence, while challenging assumptions and promoting ethically-driven, evidence-based practice perspectives to advocate for social justice and reduce disparities. The book is about redefining social work practice to meet the current and complex needs of diverse and vulnerable individuals, families, and communities in order to enhance their strengths in an era of unprecedented technological growth, globalization, and change. KEY FEATURES: • Each chapter integrates micro, mezzo, and macro perspectives and critical analysis of each segment. • The organization of the book into 36 chapters within four sections makes it ideal for an advanced graduate practice course. • Consideration of Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set forth by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) supports collegial and interdisciplinary connections and transactions. • Overarching themes that include health settings, mental health, children and families, diversity, and global and international social work reflect common areas in social work practice. • Chapter-opening Learning Objectives and case vignettes illustrate the key issues in a particular chapter. • Lists of additional resources throughout provide the opportunity for further exploration. • Discussion questions at the close of chapters stimulate readers to engage in professional dialogue.
