We however have not yet developed the wisdom and cooperation necessary to guide the use of these technologies toward the highest good. As a result, we have created conditions that increasingly threaten the existence of humanity and many other species on the planet.  Within the social work profession, there is a unique opportunity and growing responsibility to address these challenges through a more inclusive practice model. Inclusive Social Work: A New Vision of Community Practice introduces readers to an innovative approach that integrates the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice and that addresses humanity's often ego-based, left-brained, and dualistic reactions to the world and the resulting disconnection that we have had with ourselves, other people, and the ecosystems that support all life.  The text examines the interconnected roots and symptoms of our current global challenges, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, pandemic, overpopulation, preparations for war and terror,  xenophobia, and alienation from our world. To help transform these challenges, readers are introduced to the Inclusive Social Work Practice (ISWP) model, an approach that equally values both artistic and scientific factors in engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation. Within this framework, readers learn strategies for de-corporatizing the university, transforming social work classrooms into inclusive communities, and integrating ISWP principles into ecobiopsychosocialspiritual practice with local and global communities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51053288685841,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51053291634961,"sku":"NIN9781793553690","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52671225004305,"sku":"NLS9781793553690","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1793553696.jpg?v=1766140073"},{"product_id":"inclusive-social-work-book-david-derezotes-9798823313315","title":"Inclusive Social Work","description":"Humanity has developed amazing technologies in such areas as communications, energy, manufacturing, construction, biotechnology, and transportation.

The primary thesis of this text is that an effective response to the climate crisis requires that we co-create a healthy climate change in our own human consciousness, in our \"human systems\" (families, institutions, and communities) and in our life-sustaining ecosystems (biomes and anthromes).   Throughout, the text offers evidence that the wellbeing of each human being is profoundly interconnected with the wellbeing of all of humanity, of all other living things, and of our ecosystems. The climate crisis is defined to include not only global warming, but also the interconnected threats of air, water, and soil pollution and biodiversity loss.   Informed by the author's principles of Inclusive Practice and Climate-Sensitive Practice, readers are introduced to multiple strategies of engagement, assessment, and intervention that can be used in the classroom, office, health center, or community meeting. The pivotal topic of climate justice is provided in a focused chapter as well as diffused throughout the text, and the essential ecobiopsychosocialspiritual nature of effective professional practice is used as a theoretical foundation.   Relevant to many disciplines including social work, psychology, nursing, teaching, public health, and environmental humanities, Climate Change in Person, Community, and Planet is ideal for courses that integrate ecological considerations into mental and physical healthcare, human services, and education. Its practical content aligns with courses that address human wellbeing, eco-psychology, environmental justice, and community engagement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53653829288209,"sku":"NLS9798823330312","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798823330312.jpg?v=1781283888"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-david-derezotes.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
