Inhaltsangabe

Dissatisfaction with a human services system that is unresponsive, stigmatizing, and ineffective has led to a ferment of experimentation in recent years. Reinventing Human Services examines the historical and economic context of current efforts to reinvent human services, showing the urgency and the difficulty of the task. It draws on successful examples in Britain, Canada, and the United States to develop a new paradigm for social work practice, one that integrates individual, family, and community levels of practice and reconceptualizes professional-community relations. The interdisciplinary team of authors includes scholars, researchers, and practitioners from the disciplines of economics, urban planning, communications, criminal justice, psychology, marriage and family therapy, education, and social work.

Críticas

-Originating in a faculty research seminar, essays in this collection focus on the need to reconceptualize human services as family and community centered. Rather than treating individual pathology, this orientation emphasizes empowerment and client strengths using family and community interactions. Despite differences in the level of abstraction and writing style, all contributors share a community- and family-centered conceptualization of human services... Their prescription is based on sound theory and many successful demonstration projects. For all social work or human service collections.- --M. E.
