Summary

Social work theory and ethics places social justice at its core and recognises that many clients from oppressed and marginalized communities frequently suffer greater forms and degrees of physical and mental illness. However, social justice work has all too often been conceptualized as a macro intervention, separate and distinct from clinical practice. This practical text is designed to help social workers intervene around the impact of socio-political factors with their clients and integrate social justice into their clinical work. Based on the work of Freire and Martin-Baro, it introduces and applies a liberation health framework which merges clinical and macro work into a singular, unified way of working with individuals, families, and communities. Case studies are included to illustrate interventions for use with a range of different populations and in various settings Written by a team of experienced lecturers and practitioners, Social Justice in Clinical Practiceprovides a clear, focussed, practice-oriented model of clinical social work for both social work practitioners and students.
