- Summary:
- In this core text for social work students, Haight (child welfare and youth policy, University of Minnesota) and Taylor (social work, University of British Columbia-Okanagan) use a developmental-ecological systems framework to show how evidence on human development can be used to enhance social work practice. Chapters are devoted to specific populations, including infants and young children, middle childhood, adolescents, young adults, midlife, and older adults. There is also material on racism and gender. The text features profiles of practitioners and boxes on current social issues such as substance abuse. This second edition offers a new instructor's manual and new material introducing concepts of brain science applicable to social work. This edition also contains new chapters on evidence-informed practice and social justice. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
