Overview
This wide ranging collection of essays offers valuable insights into the cultural issues involved in the practical application of social work theories. Leading contributors explore the challenges faced by indigenous populations and ethnic minority groups, examining how they can gain control over their position as minority populations, and offering valuable guidance on cross-cultural work.Synopsis
Sharing their experiences with the integrated framework for practice, several professors and social workers from New Zealand and Australia present four different perspectives on social work: ecosystems, community work, strengths-based approaches, and attachment theories. The 14 contributions discuss critical reflection, the experience of colonization, and the need for contextual grounding. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
