The Policy-Based Profession: What's New in Social Work

This package includes the Enhanced Pearson eText.

Help students connect social policy to the everyday practice of social work
The Policy-Based Profession provides students with a process for analyzing policies that will help them with their careers in social work. It offers a detailed foundation for policy analysis, including chapters on historical, economic, and social policy analysis. Students then learn to apply the analysis framework to representative policies and issues in the fields of public welfare, aging, mental health, substance abuse, health, child welfare, and immigration. Finally, the book examines the important area of politics and social welfare policy, and the social work profession's continually increasing emphasis on policy practice.

Now featuring a new co-author, the 7th Edition includes the most recent research, theories, and political developments affecting the field. An entirely new chapter on immigration policy highlights this critical social justice issue, while the health chapter delves into recent happenings in health care reform. Correlated with the most recent Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Competencies, the 7th Edition aims to equip readers with analytical skillsets they can use as they advance in their social work programs and throughout their professional practice.
