In this revision of his best-selling text, Charles Zastrow has added much that is new, including a conceptual framework for generalist practice; up-to-date illustrations of current social problems; a fresh new two-color design (featuring new photos, new illustrations, and new cartoons); and many new topics. These topics include social work values and ethics, diversity, promotion of social and economic justice, populations-at-risk, social work practice with organizations, feminist perspectives on intervention, health care reform, recent welfare reform proposals, illegal immigration issues, physician-assisted suicide, DSM-IV categories of mental illness, crack babies, anabolic steroids, and much more.
