Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

The Handbook of Health Social Work provides a comprehensive and evidence-based overview of contemporary social work practice in health care. Written from a wellness perspective, the chapters cover the spectrum of health social work settings with contributions from a wide range of experts. The resulting resource offers both a foundation for social work practice in health care and a guide for strategy, policy, and program development in proactive and actionable terms. Three sections present the material: The Foundations of Social Work in Health Care provides information that is basic and central to the operations of social workers in health care, including conceptual underpinnings; the development of the profession; the wide array of roles performed by social workers in health care settings; ethical issues and decision - making in a variety of arenas; public health and social work; health policy and social work; and the understanding of community factors in health social work. Health Social Work Practice: A Spectrum of Critical Considerations delves into critical practice issues such as theories of health behavior; assessment; effective communication with both clients and other members of health care teams; intersections between health and mental health; the effects of religion and spirituality on health care; family and health; sexuality in health care; and substance abuse. Health Social Work: Selected Areas of Practice presents a range of examples of social work practice, including settings that involve older adults; nephrology; oncology; chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and HIV/AIDS; genetics; end of life care; pain management and palliative care; and alternative treatments and traditional healers. The first book of its kind to unite the entire body of health social work knowledge, the Handbook of Health Social Work is a must-read for social work educators, administrators, students, and practitioners.

I enjoyed studying from this book for my Masters degree in Social Work. Each section is broken up into clear topics and very straight forward. This is a pretty lengthy book but I felt it was a great read and study for the Health field of social work.

Great book; really covers a lot of material. Even having worked as a Health Care social worker, I've learned a lot of helpful, different models that were never really discussed throughout my experience or education. And the book is huge, so it's really a steal at this price!

Thus book is everything rolled into one. It is informative, instructive and easy to read. I would recommend it for any social worker entering the health field today

Bought this book for a class and it has been extremely helpful! If you plan on going into the Medical Social Work it is a great resource to have!

It was the wrong edition.

great concepts. great explainations

It needs to be in aublible form.

I am pleased with the product!
