Overview
Social Work: An Empowering Profession takes a discipline-based, empowerment-oriented approach, encouraging a solid understanding of the “who, what and why” of the field. Aligned to the 2015 CSWE competencies, the text helps students apply what they've learned with practice applications, case examples and Voices from the Field vignettes. The 9th Edition offers increased emphasis on diversity and difference, new content on issues and services for youths, major revisions to the disabilities and substance abuse disorders sections and expanded content on a number of topics, including evidence-based practice, human rights and social justice.
