- Summary:
-
"Social Work: Fields of Practice is the first book to offer a detailed analysis of social work practice in contemporary Australian society, recognising that it is shaped by unique social, cultural, environmental, and political realities. By examining social work in traditional and emerging fields of practice and with key target groups, this book gives a comprehensive picture of this dynamic profession. Divided into three parts - target groups, practice settings, and emerging trends and issues - the book addresses historical, contemporary, and ethical issues, and highlights future developments in the field." -- BOOK JACKET.
