This book emphasizes family-centered, social network, and school-based interventions in the preparation of social workers for direct and indirect practice with clients from vulnerable populations, especially the poor, people of color, and recent immigrant groups. Sections of the book cover the knowledge and practice base for social work practice with families and children. The conclusion evaluates practice and service delivery, including the impact of welfare reform and managed care on vulnerable families and children and the implications for social work education and training.
