Social Work in Health Care: Its Past and Future gives social workers up-to-date, comprehensive information about the roles and the kinds of skills needed in all aspects of health care in the field. The book focuses on health care′s four major domains: acute care, ambulatory care, illness prevention and health promotion, and long-term care. Surjit SIngh Dhooper reviews the past and present of each of these areas, projects their major needs in the future, and suggests how social work can help meet these needs. The author presents practice theories, principles, approaches, models, and techniques appropriate for the many roles and responsibilities in social work. The book concludes by describing general strategies social workers can use to succeed and thrive in health care settings.
This book is written by an American author with an American context. However it is well researched and discusses in depth the main issues in relation to the social worker′s role. -- Mrs GILLIAN HUGHES * drupal *

The text book is comprehensive and well written. It is easy to read. Greater use of tables/figures would make it more user friendly. The content is focussed in the US and as a result not always relevant to the UK. However the theory was transferrable. I think the book is more relevant to the students in the later stages of their training and those that are post graduate. It would be an excellent book for a student studying in the US. The critical thinking questions were very useful to evaluate what you have read and how you practise. -- Ms Tracey Polglase * drupal *
