Social work with examples from practice

The publication brings not only a varied mosaic of examples and insights from the daily practice of social workers and their colleagues, but also suggestions for reflection, discussion and further deepening of knowledge, as well as practical recommendations.

It is intended especially for social and health-social workers, other workers in the helping professions and students of socially oriented fields. However, it may also be of benefit to members of the general public who are concerned with the issue, for example, in their role as informal carers, foster carers or teaching assistants.

The second publication by this trio of authors helps to give a glimpse into the world of people, some of whom have only recently taken up their first social worker position, others who have been in practice for several decades.
Their clients include at-risk and disadvantaged children, adults struggling with mental illness, addiction or who have fallen to the bottom of society for a variety of reasons, and frail seniors experiencing the very end of life. Vulnerable people who need the support of others to live a full life and those who long to finally find their happy place in the world.
