Items related to The Practice of Macro Social Work
This book is a comprehensive text that covers the important components of macro social work practice including research, community and organization development, social action and planning, and administrative tasks. It contains chapters on social problems, leadership, problem solving, and ethics. The text considers macro social work to be the heart of authentic social work practice by having the goal of making our society healthier, more ethical, and just. Brueggemann argues that in order for this to be accomplished, social work needs to concentrate on restoring and rejuvenating the community, a cherished and crucial social system. Future oriented, The Practice of Macro Social Work challenges students to exercise critical judgement, ask questions, critique existing theories, and examine the direction that social work is taking.
