Product Description

This handbook addresses the diversity and complexity of social work practice in the context of disasters.Drawing on international perspectives, with the inclusion of case studies, this handbook provides a resource for students, practitioners, educators, and researchers seeking to prepare the social work profession for contemporary challenges associated with disasters. Divided into five parts, it explores the following subject areas:1.Conceptual aspects concerning social work’s relationship with disasters2.Social work’s role in preventing and preparing for disasters, and response and recovery3.Social work practice with specific populations4. Social work education and training in disasters5. Implications for social work organisations and policyLeading ideas, debates, and approaches from international authors will provide Global North and South perspectives.A critical examination of research and theories for practice, including concepts of human vulnerability and community resilience, will provide the foundation for detailing the practical contributions that social workers can make at the micro, meso, and macro levels of practice.Social work’s underpinning value base of social justice and human rights will also be explored in the context of the complex and dynamic nature of socio-cultural, political, and economic dimensions pertaining to disasters. It will therefore be of interest to all social work students, academics, and professionals as well as those working in allied disciplines, policy, and emergency management roles.
