Unique in its use of a human rights framework, Social Work and Social Welfare goes beyond American borders to examine U.S. government policies-including child welfare, social services, health care, and criminal justice-within a global context. Guided by the belief that forces from the global market and predominant political ideologies affect all social workers in their practice, the book addresses a wide range of relevant topics, including the refugee journey, the impact of new technologies, war trauma, environmental justice, and restorative justice. As a general textbook, the content is organized to follow outlines for basic, introductory, and more advanced courses examining social welfare programs, policies, and issues.

Aging Well Through Storytelling: Mind's Magic Door

Authors Chathapuram S. Ramanthan and Rosemary J. Link anticipate the new CSWE accreditation standards, stressing the importance of international content to the effectiveness of social work programs. In this cutting-edge book, the authors focus on a global commitment to sustainable human development and encourage the interaction of social workers globally. Focusing on guiding social workers in facilitating a more humane and multidimensional approach to social and economic development and a sensitivity to marginalized citizens of the globe, the authors emphasize reciprocity of professional technology and practice rather than exporting expertise from Western nations. The authors (who contributed seven of the book's thirteen chapters), together with the contributing researchers, present a variety of perspectives that provide opportunities for exhilarating discussions. As readers explore the book, they will be impressed with the highly-focused themes and framework, supplemented by cases, exercises, and superb photographs.

Human Behavior in a Just World: Reaching for Common Ground

This dynamic text on human behavior takes a unique international perspective to introduce students to the concepts of large social systems and development. Social workers now practice in an increasingly global context for reasons ranging from migration to international adoptions to developments in technology. Understanding these global connections is essential to social workers today. Human Behavior in a Just World emphasizes the "common human condition" between people, and encourages students to see the powerful connections between environmental conditions and behavior. The authors address key elements of human behavior through a global lens, and discuss powerful global policy instruments and resources, such as the United Nations. Engaging North American and global case studies illustrate the theories in practice.
