Comprehensive handbook of social work and social welfare, Barbara W.White
The profession of social work spans more than 100 years. Over this period, the profession has changed in scope and depth. Despite the varied functions and methods of our profession, it has always been committed to social justice and the promotion of well-being for all. The profession has made great strides and is experiencing a resurgence of energy, commitment, and advancement as we face new global realities and challenges and embrace new and innovative technologies.
Human Rights in Child Protection, Asgeir Falch-Eriksen and Elisabeth Backe-Hansen
Next year will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The convention is a catalogue of rights that, among other things, is meant to safeguard children from maltreatment. Children living in nation-states claiming to abide by the convention should also be able to make a claim based on their right to protection. The child’s right to protection, specified in Art. 19 of the convention, is intended to establish child protection services that ensure that children develop and experience their childhoods in safe family environments.
Ageing, Diversity and Equality: Social Justice Perspectives, Sue Westwood
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to each of the contributors, who have so patiently stuck with me through what has turned out to be quite a complex process. The high standard of their authorship is something I appreciate and value, and is what has made the book something we can all be proud of. Rosie Harding and Ruth Fletcher may find it odd to be named, yet again, in my acknowledgements, but their ‘growing’ of me sticks with me, and I am constantly drawing upon all they taught me.
Aging Well, Jean Galiana and William A.Haseltine
We thank all those who contributed their time and thought to help us understand the issues facing older adults and what can be done to ensure that all have access to high-quality affordable care and the opportunity to live productive and active lives. Claude Thau patiently described the rocky history of the long-term care insurance industry and why many still do not have long-term care insurance today.

Collaborating Against Child Abuse
Twenty years ago, I boarded an airplane for Huntsville, Alabama. Over the course of the long journey to this fnal destination, I could not help but wonder if embarking on the trip had been a smart decision. From a European perspective, the USA had never been a role model for child welfare, and in that context, the southern states were probably regarded least desirable of all.
Handbook for Social Workers on Basic Bio-Psychosocial Help for Children in Need of Special Protection
This handbook is a must have for all social workers and child caregivers in the Philippines. Offhand, we can come up with at least three major reasons why. One is that it provides practical guides, based on sound theoretical foundations and firm underlying principles, on how to promote psychosocial well-being among children in need of special protection (CNSP). The guides and activities build on children’s own natural resilience and their natural network of support with their families and communities.
