Description

Social Work Practice in Health Care Settings is written by social work practitioners for colleagues in health care settings. It is aimed at teaching social workers how to survive in a rapidly changing health care system. The text emphasizes the role of the social worker in a variety of health care settings with a variety of unique patient disease groups. From community health centres to hospitals and from cancer patients to Alzheimer's victims, this book brings together for the first time the special expertise of social work in responding to various health care needs. One unique feature of this text is the emphasis on the potential for social work role development in each of the particular areas covered. With each article written in a standardized format, it is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate courses in schools of social work as well as for social work practitioners in the field and allied health professionals.

"A sorely needed textbook about social work practice in health care settings for the 1980s and 1990s. It is written by practitioners for practitioners as well as social work students. A must for any social work instructor teaching in the health care field or any hospital social work environment."

Michael J. MacLean, Executive Director, CASSW, Ottawa, ON

"Keeping up with the changing demands for service in health care is a pressing issue for everyone. Consequently, I think Social Work Practice in Health Care Settings will be a critical text in preparing social work students in hospitals in the 1999s and beyond."
