About this product
Product Information
Social work practice with refugees and immigrants requires specialized knowledge of these populations and specialized adaptations and applications of mainstream services and interventions. Because they are often confronted with cultural, linguistic, political, and socioeconomic barriers, these groups are especially vulnerable to psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, alienation, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as concerns arising from inadequate health care. Institutionalized discrimination and anti-immigrant policies and attitudes only exacerbate these challenges. The second edition of Best Practices for Social Work with Refugees and Immigrants offers an update to this comprehensive guide to social work with foreign-born clients and an evaluation of various helping strategies and their methodological strengths and weaknesses. Part 1 sets forth the context for evidence-based service approaches for such clients by describing the nature of these populations, relevant policies designed to assist them, service-delivery systems, and culturally competent practice. Part 2 addresses specific problem areas common to refugees and immigrants and evaluates a variety of assessment and intervention techniques in each area. Using a rigorous evidence-based and pancultural approach, Miriam Potocky and Mitra Naseh identify best practices at the macro, meso, and micro levels to meet the pressing needs of uprooted peoples. The new edition incorporates the latest research on contemporary social work practice with refugees and immigrants to provide a practical, up-to-date resource for the multitude of issues and interventions for these populations.

Reviews
Best Practices for Social Work with Refugees and Immigrants is a valuable primer for human service professionals. The authors thoughtfully consider the best ways to intervene while accounting for the clients' cultural factors and life histories. Moreover, the authors attend to meso- and macro-level issues, which are essential for improving programs and policies. I can't think of a better time for this much-needed second edition., Best Practices for Social Work with Refugees and Immigrants presents the context and complexity of migration along with guidelines for practical, systematic, and socially just intervention approaches. This essential and comprehensive resource for social workers provides information, identifies issues in the journey from entry to integration, and recommends best practices for service provision., Bringing together new research findings from a wide range of sources, this book provides the tools needed for effective and compassionate social work with refugees and immigrants--in the areas of health care, mental health, family services, economic self-sufficiency, advocacy, and policy--in support of their full integration into their new communities., Substantive, well-organized, reader-friendly, and comprehensive, a timely pancultural overview of policy issues that serve as the context for social work practice with immigrants.
