Ethnicity and Social Work Practice

by Carole B. Cox, Paul H. Ephross

Overview

Ethnicity and Social Work Practice offers a broad conceptual model of ethnic identity which enables social workers to practice effectively with clients of all ethnic and racial groups. This book fills a major gap in the literature on social work and ethnicity. It presents ethnicity in an innovative way, focusing on its many dimensions in relation to social work practice. It addresses all areas of social work (individuals, families, groups, and communities) and includes separate chapters on social services, health care, and social planning and policy development.

Editorial Reviews

"Up-to-date on issues realted to ethnicity in this country. I like the case examples and questions for discussion at the end of chapters. I especially like the discussion of ethnicity in terms of the various domains of practice: individual, family, group, and community."—Norma D. Thomas, Widener University
