Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Radicalisation, Extremism and Social Work Practice is the first book to explore cultural identity, acculturation and perceived discrimination of Muslim youth across Western countries in relation to social work, as well as the radicalisation and extremist views and actions of a small number of Muslim youth. It draws on relevant theoretical frameworks and research to examine the different approaches taken in social work practice. Some countries consider multi-agency approaches, particularly how public health practice can inform interventions and strategies. Others take a public health approach, looking for risk factors and seeking protective factors to develop suitable interventions within the communities through public engagement and partnership. As well as examining and discussing the above approaches, this book critically examines government and community-based approaches to radicalisation and extremism, and strategies for combating these. This volume will be a valuable resource for social work students, including other disciplines such as psychology, public health, psychiatry, sociology, political science and community development. It will also be of interest to policy makers, practitioners and researchers.

Social work education has recently undergone major changes, with anti-discriminatory practice being a high priority area in professional training. Psychology for Social Workers provides an introductory text which will help qualifying and practising social workers to: understand and counteract the impact of discrimination; work in an ethnically sensitive way; demonstrate an awareness of ways to combat both individual and institutional racism through anti-racist practice. Drawing together research material and literature on black perspectives in human development and behaviour from North America and Britain, it provides a starting point that will inspire discussion and debate in the social work field and will generate future theoretical and research questions. Among the topics covered are black perspectives in group work and the family, identity development and academic achievement in black children, and mental health issues in relation to black people.Updated throughout to cover recent legislation, this second edition is an essential introductory text for all social workers in training and practice and for their teachers and trainers.

Counselling and Therapeutic Interventions with Multicultural Populations in the West
International Perspectives

This textbook is an effort to bring together the current practices, values, attitudes and beliefs about counselling and therapeutic interventions in multicultural populations in Western countries. Although there has been an increased effort to understand the role of culture in counselling practice and therapeutic interventions, there is a dearth of research/ literature on multicultural populations outside the United States. To redress this, this book compares counselling and therapeutic models and practice with multicultural populations across different Western countries, highlighting the issues and challenges of therapeutic approaches and counselling theory and practice with minorities and sometimes governmental/political considerations in these countries. It explores the way forward regarding service delivery for the mental health of minorities in Western countries and the counselling and therapy they receive. The book is unique as it serves to share knowledge so that insights drawn from one country can be shared across all Western countries, as well as across the globe.
