What People are Saying About This
UNIQUE AND INTRIGUING . . . certain to stimulate much-needed conversation
on international perspectives on health and mental health in social work.
Cutting-edge concepts and issues abound: boundary-spanning, outcomes
assessment, community care, truly holistic perspectives, and even a welcome
call for more attention to the voices of children. As the editors note in
their introduction, this is a solid entrée into the 'contradictory demands
and diversity of expectations' faced by social workers in health and mental
health.

VERY INTERESTING. . . . It is good to find a text that draws on
commonalities of social work practice, enabling the profession to establish
shared solutions and capture new ideas. The themes explored in this text
have a global relevancy that encapsulates knowledge, skills, and values
essential for social work practice and development. The chapters
demonstrate the complexities of social work practice and show clearly how
social work is carried out on many different levels.
