The Pi C is updated in this edition to attend to social determinants of health and structural conditions. The Pi C framework is applied in over 30 case chapters to reflect varied health and social care settings with multiple populations. Fully updated to reflect the landscape of healthcare provision in the US since the Affordable Care Act was reaffirmed in 2020 the cases are grounded by primer chapters to illustrate the necessary decisional and foundational skills for best practices in social work in health settings. The cases cover micro through macro level work with individuals families groups and communities across the life course. The Pi C framework helps maintain focus on each of the practice decisions a social worker must make when working with a variety of clients (including military veterans refugees LGBTQ+ clients). The ideal textbook for social work in healthcare and clinical social work classes this thought-provoking volume thoroughly integrates social work theory and practice and provides an excellent opportunity for understanding particular techniques and interventions. |Social Work in Health Settings Practice in Context | Health & Social Care
