An Overview of the Human Services by Kristi Lynn Kanel
This practical, easy-to-read guide provides a nuts-and-bolts overview of the field as well as a glimpse of what readers can expect when working in human services. Because the field encompasses many career opportunities, skills, and client populations, this text also helps readers decide which specialty is right for them. AN OVERVIEW OF THE HUMAN SERVICES, 2nd Edition, provides a look at human services agencies, jobs, workers, and populations served; a clear analysis of the major theories of causality; and helpful special chapters on such important topics as ethics and stress management. It also prepares readers for a future in human services by challenging them to become active learners via self-reflection, case studies, real-world scenarios, applied and experiential activities, and inventories.
