Ethnic relations in the U.S: A sociohistorical cultural systems approach

Eddie Bowers Pub

The social work profession has long valued ethnically sensitive and culturally competent practice and policy. This is reflected in the National Association of Social Work's Code of Ethics, and the Council on Social Work Education's Curriculum Policy Statement. Social work practitioners know the importance of culture and ethnicity in the helping process with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations. Theories of human development in social environment and all forms of practice are clearly interwoven with cultural implications.
