Synopsis

Thirteen chapters explore empowerment practice as it exists in a diverse range of settings in the field. The authors explain the practice as it is applied to populations encountered by social workers such as women, people of color, people with disabilities, and gays and lesbians, and as it is used in specific domains, including mental health, housing and homelessness, youth, and families. The final chapters look at ways in which social work administration and research methods can contribute to empowerment practice. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
