This book presents a wide array of innovative and cutting-edge practice models, research-based conceptualisations and theorisations as well as policy contributions which will serve as resource material for social work professionals across the globe. This volume is a unique presentation of rich epistemic and practice diversity and contributes to current and future demands of social work knowledge.
Despite the diversity of the global context of social work - language, culture, philosophy, economic and social and political systems - the social work profession presents a cohesive voice that resonates among its professionals. Social workers uphold the values of dignity, rights and justice as well as share a strong belief in the inherent strength of individuals, groups and communities. Through this book, the authors bring together a variety of innovative, contemporary and forward-looking conceptualisations and practice models.
Being the first volume in the Advancing Social Work Practice, Policy, and Research Series, the impressive coverage of the book includes research-based practice models from different country contexts that have global appeal and relevance to the international human and welfare sector. It also includes important conversations about the present and future of social work practice and prepares students as well as professional social workers for practice in an increasingly globalised, dynamic and culturally diverse environment.
Contributions are authored by internationally recognised scholars and leaders writing about social work, as well as by social work professionals in countries and regions where their voices are seldom heard in the international community.
Research- and Practice-Based Models for Advancing Social Work is a timely and important collection of international social work scholarship, work and ideas. The book is an essential resource for students, practitioners and educators alike. Policy makers, researchers and other professionals also would find the volume useful for their work.
