What Social Workers Do provides a panoramic look at the profession in action and offers practical information about the current status of various service areas and the types of jobs available. It makes extensive use of case studies and vignettes to highlight the intersection between practice functions, practice settings, and practice areas, and to demonstrate the connection between what appear to be diverse specializations. Written in a lucid and engaging style, it synthesizes the profession's primary source materials, current research, selected case studies, and inights from a panel of experts in each of the fields of practice discussed in the book. Many audiences will find the information contained in this volume to be of use. It will be a valuable reference guide to assist students and practitioners as they explore career options. Agencies will refer to it as a comprehensive resource for responding to requests for information about the profession. Social work faculty will find it an excellent introductory text in BSW and MSW programs and can use it to stimulate class discussions about situations that arise in practice.
