Social Work in Pediatrics (Visions)

This illuminating resource for social workers focuses on theory and practice with pediatric populations with special needs such as terminal, chronic, and long-term illness. Such populations present social workers with a unique set of challenges and complexities, especially as care for these children increasingly shifts from institution to home. Social Work in Pediatrics enhances readers' knowledge and understanding of pediatric social work today. It presents models of service delivery and clinical practice that illustrate responses to present changes and challenges occurring within the health care system. The programs and services described acknowledge the continuum of care from neonatal intensive care unit to community and recognize accompanying emotional needs and stressors.Helen G Clinton is the author of 'Social Work in Pediatrics (Visions)', published 1995 under ISBN 9781560247654 and ISBN 1560247657.
