Christianity and Social Work (Fifth Edition)

📖 The Scoop

"The fifth edition of Christianity and Social Work is written for social workers whose motivations to enter the profession are informed by their Christian faith, and who desire to develop faithfully Christian approaches to helping. Christianity and Social Work is organized around four themes: 1. Christian Roots of the Social Work Profession; 2. Christians Called to Social Work: Scriptural Basis, Worldviews and Ethics; 3. Human Behavior and Spiritual Development in a Diverse World; 4. Christians in Social Work Practice: Contemporary Issues. Chapters address a breadth of curriculum areas such as social welfare history, human behavior and the social environment, social policy, and practice at micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Containing 19 chapters and more than 400 pages, this revised edition of CSW includes six new chapters and six extensively-revised chapters in response to requests by readers of previous editions, including chapters on working with clients from the LGBT community, evidence-based practice (EBP), congregational social work, military social work, human trafficking, and spiritual assessment... In organizing this 5th edition, NACSW has carefully considered the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) from the Council on Social Work Education. It is important for schools of social work to show how they prepare students to demonstrate specific competencies in social work practice. To help with this integration CSW includes Appendices with charts that guide readers toward potential connections. These tools will be a helpful guide for both instructors and students"--
