Overview

Introduction to Human Services explores the foundation of the human services profession. It examines educational standards and professional requirements. The author analyzes the human services profession in settings where human services providers work. It provides information about social problems within a socio-political context. This illustrates how culture and ideology influence people's perspectives. It also looks at theoretical underpinnings and the generalist practice model.

The 5th Edition places focus on emerging issues and relevant events. Events include the current political conditions in the United States and the impact of social media. It also includes content on global pandemics (such as COVID-19). The updates emphasize the root of the human services profession and ethical standards.
