- Synopsis
-
This book is a comprehensive introductory social welfare policy text for both undergraduate and graduate students who are new to social work and human services. The book will help students to understand what drives social welfare policy and how it affects people's lives, and to gain insight into key issues of social concern. This book guides the reader through areas of social policy concern, including poverty, health care, child welfare, and aging, with a foundation of ideologies, theories, values, and beliefs to help explain our social welfare system. Each area is updated to reflect the latest policy developments.
This new edition includes detailed discussions of the key policies that have been enacted in recent years. The skills and resources necessary for teaching policy analysis are provided early in the book to better prepare students for analysis of the critical concerns that affect all aspects of social welfare policies and programs as they read through the rest of the book. Infused throughout the book are references to the Council on Social Work Education's Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS).
