This social welfare policy text shows the crucial connection between social policy and the everyday practice of social work and encourages the development of policy analysis skills. This text is part of the Connecting Core Competencies Series, designed to guide students in becoming skilled at the Council on Social Work's core competencies.

>>>The Fifth Edition of The Policy-Based Professionprovides students with a process for analyzing policies that will help them as they enter a career in social work. It offers a detailed foundation for policy analysis, including chapters on historical policy analysis, social/economic analysis, and political analysis. This text brings students up to date on the latest developments in welfare reform, mental health managed care, the campaign to restructure Social Security, reactions to current immigration issues, current threats to workers' pensions, program and policy responses to the problems of substance abuse, and the use of family preservation as an approach to child protection. A new chapter on policy practice skills discusses analytical skills, interactional skills, and political skills.]]>
