Social Policy and Social Programs, 4/e, provides criteria for judging the effectiveness of current programs and outlines methods for analyzing soical services such as counseling and therapeutic services, supportive assistance, and "hard" benefits like food stamps, cash, and housing vouchers. The text is organized around two major aspects: social problem analysis and social policy and program analysis. It concentrates on the social proplems, policies, and programs that are the main concern of most future social workers - child welfare, health, poverty, and mental illness.

Recensione:

What Colleagues are Saying:

“The value of the text for me is that it does not focus on a particular area or issue, but provides the skills future social workers need to evaluate areas of interest or need in practice.” – Iris Phillips, University of Southern Indiana

“Chapter one does an excellent job of presenting problem definition, causes, ideology/values, and gainers/losers. Item 4, Dangers in Half-Dime Novels and Story Papers is a fantastic exercise!” – Iris Phillips, University of Southern Indiana

“Overall the students find the writing clear and concise and the concepts engaging and useful. The policy framework provided by the author is one of their favorite frameworks for policy analysis.” – Roger E. Boyd, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville

“I love the book and have used it for more than 5 years. That is the longest I have used any text in my teaching career.” – Ruth White, Seattle Univesity
