Social Policy for Effective Practice by Rosemary Kennedy Chapin

The fifth edition of Social Policy for Effective Practice offers a rich variety of resources and knowledge foundations to help social work students understand and contend with the continually evolving social policy landscape that surrounds them.

"In an era of political upheaval and shifting social priorities, Chapin and Lewis provide a strengths-based context for examining social policies and the people served by themGuided by our NASW Code of Ethics, the authors provide a framework for culturally-sensitive analysis of policy practice."

Claire L. Dente, Professor of Social Work, West Chester University of Pennsylvania

"This textbook is as accessible as it is exhaustive. The writing allows students to understand the rich history of social welfare policy and to see examples of the real-world impact of policy, and all within a strengths-based perspective. An impressive feat, and one which I value greatly as a professor."

Eric Toth, CEO at CoveCare Center in Carmel, NY
