Social Work Practice with Immigrants and Refugees
Description: "The United States has always been a land of immigrants and a destination for refugees. With the increase in immigration in the late 1980s -when the number of refugees entering the United States nearly doubled as well -the number of clients needing social work services rose dramatically. Social Work Practice with Immigrants and Refugees takes an ecological systems perspective on working with these two distinct groups, paying special attention to the relationship between individuals and their social environment.
