Social Work and Human Service Practice Paperback – 22 April 2008

The changing context of social work and human service practice means that now more than ever we need critical and reflexive practitioners who are able to work purposefully and strategically to effect change. It is a challenging environment but it is also an exciting one. There are new opportunities for forging links between different professional and occupational groups to pursue social justice and quality practice with individuals, groups and communities. Social Work and Human Service Practice 5^th edition continues to contribute to the development of educated, committed and socially aware practitioners. The authors continue to emphasise the purposeful nature of social work and human service practice, and the need for a critical stance in analysing and responding to individual, group and community issues. About the authors Professor Ian O’Connor is Vice Chancellor and President at Griffith University. Dr Jill Wilson is Professor in the School of Social Work and Applied Human Sciences at The University of Queensland. Dr Deborah Setterlund is a senior lecturer in the School of Social Work and Applied Human Sciences at The University of Queensland. Dr Mark Hughes is a senior lecturer in the School of Social Work and Applied Human Sciences at The University of Queensland.
