Empowerment Approach to Social Work Practice: Building the Beloved Community 2nd edn

Initially published in 1994, this book was praised as a pioneering, theory-based report from the frontlines of the social justice fight. Both clinically and community-focused, and written from a global viewpoint, it presents clients' voices alongside insights from prominent social work educators. This updated edition emphasizes practical 'how-to' skills for empowering individuals and highlights multiculturalism. A new chapter addresses global oppression issues like women and children abuse, and mental illness neglect.
