Social programs and policies central to the client systems of social workers are determined in the political space. Brendan Young has written this book to inspire students to bring the unique value system embraced by social workers to the political process. Like all titles in the Social Work Modules series, the chapters in Political Social Work Practice follow courses in the standard social work curriculum. This allows the book to be used as supplementary reading to add a political component to any social work course, as well as in a stand-alone course on political social work.
