About the Book

Social Work: The Basics is an insightful introduction to the often misrepresented world of social work practice. Taking a broad, international view of social work, this accessible text sets out to dispel myths surrounding social work, addressing media debates, and presenting a balanced view of what social work is and what social workers do. Questions answered include: How did social work arise? How and why do people come into contact with social workers? What are the true aims of social work -- to help or to control? How do we know what works, for who, and who decides? How and why do people become social workers? What's it like to be a social worker? Can social work cross borders? Drawing examples from the full spectrum of social work practice, this book is valuable reading for all individuals interested in the field of social work. It will provide a helpful introduction for students considering a career in social work, those beginning social work courses, and professionals engaged in multi-agency approaches with social workers who have little direct experience.
