O knihe

This engaging guide addresses the extraordinary breadth of the social work profession and
the diverse career paths available. Updated and expanded, the third edition includes 15 vivid
new profiles of social workers who describe the rewards and challenges of their distinct
roles. It presents "Social Justice Spotlights" highlighting important social and political
issues relevant to different practice domains. The new edition also delivers current data on
employment opportunities and salaries from the Department of Labor and provides links to
new resources-books, essays, films, and websites-that enable readers to explore specific
career paths in greater depth. It dispels common myths about the social work profession and
demonstrates why social work is a smart choice for those seeking a career of service that
requires creativity, critical thinking, compassion, and a passion for social justice.
Illuminating current trends in social work education and practice, the book describes more
than 100 specific careers-traditional and nontraditional-available to social workers,
including best features, challenges, required core competencies and skills, educational and
licensing requirements, and personal narratives. The book also covers how to fund one's
education and provides job-hunting tools and websites. Additional features include, for each
career, a discussion of benefits and challenges, job outlook, and salary information.
Questionnaires and self-assessment checklists provide additional material to help readers
choose a social work career tailored to their unique talents, interests, and passions.
