About the Book

This is a brief introduction to social work, adapted from the best selling Social Work: A Profession of Many Faces , 9/e, by Morales and Sheafor. Intended for those who don't want to go into great depth on the various groups to whom social workers provide services, The Many Faces of Social Workers contains the first 10 chapters of the large book. This text includes historical material on the emergence of social work as a profession, the areas where human services are provided, and career opportunities for social workers today. It features up-to-date empirical data about where social workers are employed, what positions they hold, what personal characteristics they bring to their practice, and the competencies required to perform their work.
