Social work practice with children and families August 18, 2005
Francis KO Yuen is professor of social work at the California State University in Sacramento with many earlier publications in family health social work practice. Together with 13 other contributors he has produced this interesting book on family health for social work practitioners.
This book is divided into two sections (Practive interventions; policy, programs and emerging families) with a total of 13 chapters on children and families. The introduction chapter explains the concept of family health followed by six chapters on intervention approach to different populations at risk (child sexual abuse, divorce, HIV/AIDS, disability, loss, migrant and seasonal farmworking families). The second section has six chapters on grandparents as parents, lesbian and gay families, child welfare, homeless women, neighborhood and community practice.
Family health social work practice is involved with the holistic well-being of the family system and its members and this has been the philosophy behind the contributors to this work. We found several chapters of interest, but especially the chapter on "Services for families with children with disabilities" by Ute C Orgassa, a social worker trained both in Germany and the United States. Here she discuss the discovery of disability in the family, stress factors on the family, coping and how to establish a family centered service for families with a disabled child.
A book of value for professionals working with families and their children.
