The eighth edition of this classic textbook confronts students with the two central issues of the social work profession: How can social workers help people deal with personal misfortune? and What can social workers do to help bring about a just society? Answers to these questions come from the book's four main sections. Part One offers perspectives about social work and the kinds of things social workers do. Part Two describes the major policies and programmes social workers use to help people. Part Four discusses helping methods -- the ways clients are connected to social resources -- employed by social workers. Part Five provides case studies that show these helping processes in action.
