What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • This edition is reorganized into four parts. Part I addresses basic questions that students have when they enter the course. Part II focuses on the foundations of the profession and human service work, with coverage of ethical considerations and a new chapter on multicultural considerations. Part III introduces the practice of human services, including the helping process, and providing services to clients. A new Part IV illuminate's current trends, conveying information about the hopes and realities of human service as it's practiced in the real world.
  • A new chapter, "Multicultural Dimensions of Helping," traces the history and rationale for attending to clients and their cultures during the helping process. Students gain an understanding of cultural competence and how to begin to develop it by reading about culture, assimilation, acculturation, worldview, race, ethnicity, discrimination, and White privilege. Students also consider how their own cultural identity may influence the way they view the world and the way they help clients.
  • Every chapter has increased emphasis on the relationship of human service delivery to advocacy and social justice. For example, Chapter 4 discusses the importance of social justice as it relates to client rights, self-determination, and professional competence. The public health model, described in Chapter 6, provides an example of how the Centers for Disease Control and the Office of the United States Surgeon General conduct an advocacy campaign.
  • New case examples are added to several chapters, and many from the previous edition are updated. For example, a case on the current opioid prescription drug epidemic (Ch. 6) illustrates how the medical, public health, and human service models address this issue. The final case of Susan and Ted describes the complexities of serving clients and illustrates how the three models of service delivery are integrated.
