Social Policy for Effective Practice synopsis

To be used as a text in public social policy institutions, both at the baccalaureate and master level, this book examines the process of identifying need, analyzing social policy, and developing a new policy. There is a clear philosophical basis and common theoretical framework in discussing each element of the policy process. Each chapter is based on the knowledge provided in previous chapters to provide students with the skills necessary to practice effective policy. Four themes are intertwined throughout the book: the importance of critical thinking in social policy, the benefits of using a power perspective in policy analysis and development, the vital role social policy plays in all areas of practice, and the absolute responsibility of every social worker to participate in policy practice. Routledgew.com now has 6 cases; the Sanchez case has been reviewed to include more policy content.

Teacher material includes additional readings, PowerPoints, test questions, illustrated links, syllabi, and EPAS guidelines. As with the third edition, teachers can choose chapters relevant to their course and custom them at www.routledge.customgateway.com.
