Social work's guiding principles and procedures

About The Book

Social work is a profession that requires a wide range of knowledge and abilities to assist individuals in meeting their basic requirements in society and to eliminate, to the greatest extent possible, the obstacles that prevent them from realising their full potential. The field of social work has evolved into a well-defined area of study and established profession through the practise of charity, almsgiving, and other acts of compassion. To be successful in the field of social work, one needs acquire a specific body of information as well as specific skills, methods, and values. To be effective in social work, one must acquire a thorough understanding of these factors, as well as the ability to assess and respond to people's needs in a variety of circumstances. It doesn't matter what kind of work he does—social, case, group, or community—he always has to deal with people's wants and concerns. The goal of the book is to provide all the information needed by students, educators, social workers, and social work institutions to be successful in social work and related activities.
