Beschreibung

Chapter 1 of this book aims to highlight themes covering occupational stress, job satisfaction, and the impact of these on the mental health of social workers who work in community mental health teams and those who work in children and family settings. The second chapter is a look at how poor self-esteem increases the risk for depression in adolescent girls and the practical steps that can be taken by social workers to enhance self-esteem in young people. The third chapter of the book poses the questions 'In what ways can social work be regarded as a profession, and does social work require a professional status?'. The fourth chapter is about social work process and skills that registered social workers are expected to possess to enable them to practise effectively. The final chapter has reviews of journals-mainly British journals-of social work. This book is meant mainly for social workers.
