Handbook of Health Social Work, 3rd Edition, is a comprehensive reference handbook examining the theoretical foundations and evidence-based methods of health social work. Featuring contributions from an international panel of experts, the text is designed for social work practitioners, educators, administrators, and students.
The volume explores core practice topics including theories of health behavior, assessment, communication, and the intersections between physical health and mental health. It also reviews the conceptual underpinnings of the profession, healthcare ethics, and health policy across diverse medical settings.
Emphasizing a wellness perspective rather than a psychopathological model, the text presents evidence-based treatment approaches. Learning exercises, research suggestions, life-course information, and additional resources support further study.
