Social Work: An Empowering Profession

Autor Brenda Dubois, Karla Krogsrud Miley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2018

Acest manual universitar, ajuns la ediția a 9-a, reprezintă o resursă fundamentală pentru studenții care doresc să înțeleagă fundamentele profesiei de asistent social prin prisma capacitării (empowerment). Social Work, semnat de Brenda Dubois și Karla Miley, propune o viziune integrată asupra domeniului, structurată pe întrebările esențiale: cine, ce și de ce. Observăm că această ediție pune un accent sporit pe diversitate și diferență, adaptând conținutul la cerințele curriculare moderne stabilite de competențele CSWE 2015. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări introductive, volumul de față nu se limitează la teorie, ci integrează constant practica prin vinietele „Voices from the Field” și exemple de caz care oferă perspective reale din diverse ramuri ale asistenței sociale. Remarcăm revizuirile substanțiale aduse secțiunilor despre dizabilități și tulburări cauzate de abuzul de substanțe, precum și extinderea capitolelor dedicate drepturilor omului și justiției sociale. Lucrarea completează perspectiva oferită de Introduction to Social Work de O. William Farley, adăugând un cadru teoretic mult mai aplicat pe conceptul de autonomie și reziliență a beneficiarului, în timp ce Farley pune un accent mai mare pe evoluția istorică a sistemelor de asistență socială. De asemenea, față de The Social Work Experience de Mary Ann Suppes, care oferă o descriere detaliată a opt domenii majore de practică, manualul de față prioritizează o abordare holistică, axată pe dezvoltarea competențelor de bază necesare în orice context profesional. Tonul este precis, academic dar accesibil, fiind ideal pentru pregătirea examenelor de licență și pentru formarea unei etici profesionale solide.
