Akhriso [Epub] Empowerment Series: Social Welfare Policy and
Social Programs, Updated
By Elizabeth A. Segal
Segal's SOCIAL WELFARE POLICY AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS, 4th Edition not
only enables you to identify, describe, and analyze social welfare policies--it also
draws you into an examination of the values and beliefs that drive our social
welfare system. The author demonstrates how the myriad values of diverse
groups in America have influenced current policies, and shows that analysis
takes place through the lens of these often opposing values. The dual themes of
critical thinking and critical evaluation provide the framework of the book, and
Segal's inclusion of international perspectives on values around social welfare
policies and social programs heightens your awareness of the global
implications of social work around the world.
