In Social Work for Sociologists, a team of international authors with backgrounds in social work and sociology explain and illustrate how the social work imagination links theory and practice to interventions and outcomes. Van Heugten, Gibbs, and contributors address lingering di...sciplinary divisions and controversies about the appropriateness of engaging with public issues and social justice concerns, and introduces key values, ethics, and practice frameworks. Finally, they illustrate the utility of social work practice frameworks in fields including child welfare, group work, bicultural and multicultural practice, community work, workplace mobbing, and research.

| NZ Review |
This is a bold book, seeking to bridge the disciplinary boundary between social work and sociology in today's multicultural world. It is innovative in explaining how social work theory and practice perspectives and skills throw new light on understanding and acting on the big sociological issues. If you are a sociology student wanting to work in the human services field, or someone who teaches sociology and social work students, you will gain from reading this accessible and informative collection. - Rosalind Edwards, Professor of Sociology and Social Sciences and Director of Research and Enterprise, University of Southampton, United Kingdom; Co-author of Key Concepts in Family Studies (2011) This edited book by Kate van Heugten and Anita Gibbs will be of much interest to students and academics in the fields of sociology and social work. It adopts a unique approach to exploring the connections between social work theory and practice and sociology. This book eloquently demonstrates the relevance of social work to the practice of sociology and will re-ignite the social work/sociological imagination. I commend the authors in providing a well-researched book that makes a significant contribution to current thinking in sociology. - Robyn Munford, Professor of Social Work, Massey University, New Zealand, and Co-leader of Pathways to Resilience and Youth Transitions Research Programme |
