Product Information

In this revision of his best-selling text, Charles Zastrow offers students a social problems approach that describes how people are affected by such issues as poverty, child abuse, emotional difficulties, sexism, alcoholism, crime, AIDS, physical and mental disabilities, racism, overpopulation, and sexual dysfunction. As students become familiar with these social problems, they develop a meaningful context for the book's coverage of current social services. Throughout the text, Zastrow covers controversial, contemporary issues in social welfare.Zastrow includes case examples that help readers identify with people in need of help, as well as case examples that bring to life the roles and responsibilities, gratifications, and frustrations experienced by social work professionals to help students get a realistic sense of what it's like to be a social worker. Students will appreciate Zastrow's practical coverage of how to counsel individuals, how to work with groups, how to develop new services, and how to improve existing community services.The Sixth Edition includes new illustrations of current social problems. For example, in the chapter on crime (Chapter 8), Zastrow uses the O.J. Simpson case to illustrate Murder and the Fall of an American Hero.
