Description
Child Welfare is comprehensive text for child welfare courses taught from a social work perspective. This textbook provides a single source for all material necessary to providing a contextual child welfare course. The material in this text is designed to meet the needs of social work students entering the child welfare workforce, as well as any other area of direct or indirect practice with children and families. Unlike other texts, which emphasize either theory or practice, this book combines history, theory and practice. The authors integrate different practice perspectives to teach social workers how to engage children and families at the micro, mezzo and macro levels.
