Lyceum Books, Inc.

In this exciting new book, Malcolm Payne draws on core principles of social work to articulate a new humanistic practice for the 21st century. Humanistic Social Work: Core Principles in Practice presents a profession that aims at positive fulfillment in social relationships rather than social control and individualized problem-solving. While these ideas are inherent in much social work writing, this is the first time they have been brought together as the basis for practice. Showing how practitioners embody flexible, skilled, and knowledge-based responses to the complexities of human individuality within an empowered social context, Payne reconstructs the aims of social work as accountability to clients individual self-fulfillment enabled by community and social development. Emphasizing human rights, he identifies social justice and equality as social work objectives and draws together humanistic approaches to the debate about evidence-based practices.

In this book, Payne illustrates society s inclination to mistreat older people and encourages readers to combat their personal biases to improve service care for older adults. Citizenship Social Work with Older People emphasizes the importance of older people being fully recognized as complete members of society (as citizens) by others and particularly by social work practitioners. This book actively challenges current theories of aging that foster ideas about the exclusion of older people, and promotes the idea of older people being considered functional citizens and deserving equal treatment during later stages of life. The author provides readers with many valuable resources including case examples and suggestions for how social workers can change their own ideologies about older people, which further aid practitioners in providing quality care and improving the quality of life of their clients. Features: Reflective questions at the end of each chapter; Exercises that promote exploration of values, beliefs, attitudes, and biases; Internet resources describing trends and approaches to practice

Citizenship Social Work with Older People

La presente obra supone una revision critica tanto de un amplio sector de la teoria de la asistencia social, como de sus valores dentro del marco de la practica profesional moderna. El autor sostiene que la practica de la actividad social es muy estable, y cuenta con un modelo fundamental de tipo practico compuesto por un cierto numero de aspectos cruciales. La importancia variable que se da a cada uno de estos aspectos es un reflejo de las fuerzas economicas y sociales que marcan el moderno devenir de la asistencia social, dando lugar a que unas ideas consigan una cierta ascendencia en determinados periodos. Gran numero de teorias reconocidas aportan ideas al paradigma basico de la practica convencional y responden a necesidades que surgen en la practica y en el debate academico y profesional. Y de ahi que los asistentes sociales tengan que saber de donde proceden estas ideas y como se insertan en la red de teorias vigentes. El libro, de esta manera, acaba ofreciendo un ponderado analisis delas teorias de la asistencia social entendidas no solo como tales, sino tambien como parte de una constelacion de ideas al alcance de todos los asistentes sociales.
