Sinopsis

Show future Human Service Professionals how history, politics, and the economy shape social welfare programs and policies
An Introduction to Human Services: Policy and Practice puts the field of human services into a historical context, provides insights into the social welfare field, and gives concrete examples of how primary intervention strategies are put into daily practice in human service agencies. The text presents the many career options offered in the field of human services and discusses the stresses that a human service worker will face in day-to-day work, with practical suggestions for avoiding burnout. The 9th Edition explores the current state of the field of human services with new and updated coverage, including: an expanded chapter on working with diversity, with updated discussions of immigration and working with LGBTQ clients (Ch. 7); an expanded chapter on social welfare programs and policies (Ch. 6); and an increased focus on practical applications.

About our authors

Barbara Schram graduated from Antioch College and received master's degrees in both sociology and social work from Columbia University and a doctorate from Harvard University with a specialization in education and social policy. She worked as the program direction of a large recreational and cultural organization, planning programs for children and young adults and supervising staff who delivered these services. Barbara spent several years as the director of a community agency in a low-income urban area, helping parents become involved in their children's education and effect changes in the schools that better reflected their cultural background and values. She spent 26 years at Northeastern University, where she originated and then taught in the Human Services program. She designed appropriate courses and supervised student internships. Barbara has done extensive volunteer work with citizen groups involved in interracial and special needs adoptions, improving services for persons with learning disabilities and improving prison education programs. In addition to this text she has written more than 20 articles and a book entitled Creating the SmallScale Social Program: From Idea to Implementation to Evaluation.
