An Introduction to Family Social Work celebrates social work's proud history as the first professional group to work with families. The #1 bestselling book on the market for family practice, this book is written for BSW and MSW students who are employed in agencies that do not offer traditional office-based family therapy. Many beginning and community-based social workers are employed in agencies that provide support, teaching, and concrete services to families experiencing a wide spectrum of needs and problems. These services are provided in the community and client's home, not in the office. Such settings include child welfare, women's shelters, family support, mental health, schools, and prisons. An Introduction to Family Social Work provides an overview of initial work with families and multiple generations from a generalist perspective. This book draws from the rich theoretical base of family therapy literature and translates working with families into practical, hands-on, social work practice. It also incorporates a family-in-environment approach, so that social workers can tap into social environmental resources as needed.

These volumes gather together the latest research from 40 of the world's most eminent Thomistic theologians and philosophers, in commemoration of the 800th anniversary of Thomas Aquinas's birth. To mark this anniversary, these scholars are each prepared a chapter that is an original research study shared at a major international conference in Sept 2024. The volumes cover a wide range of both philosophical and theological topics, reflecting the breadth of Aquinas's own thought, and will be organized by subject matter. Together, these volumes will provide a compendium of outstanding research on the wide spectrum of Aquinas's thought, which we hope will have enduring value for the field, offering an opportunity to revisit the ongoing importance of the work of Thomas Aquinas today.
