Description:
This book serves as a compact resource for social work teaching at a time when new ways to understand the world and the people who live in it are continuously needed for social work professionals to be able to fulfill the task of social work. This task is to promote social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people.
The scope of the book offers new thinking and understandings that stem from cutting-edge social work research and social work practice across the globe and the ever-changing world that is continuously changing.
