Humanity has developed amazing technologies in such areas as
communications, energy, manufacturing, construction, biotechnology,
and transportation. We however have not yet developed the wisdom and
cooperation necessary to guide the use of these technologies toward
the highest good. As a result, we have created conditions that
increasingly threaten the existence of humanity and many other species
on the planet.
Within the social work profession, there is a unique opportunity and
growing responsibility to address these challenges through a more
inclusive practice model. _Inclusive Social Work: A New Vision of
Community Practice_ introduces readers to an innovative approach that
integrates the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice and that
addresses humanity’s often ego-based, left-brained, and dualistic
reactions to the world and the resulting disconnection that we have
had with ourselves, other people, and the ecosystems that support all
life.
The text examines the interconnected roots and symptoms of our current
global challenges, including climate change, loss of biodiversity,
pandemic, overpopulation, preparations for war and terror, xenophobia,
and alienation from our world. To help transform these challenges,
readers are introduced to the Inclusive Social Work Practice (ISWP)
model, an approach that equally values both artistic and scientific
factors in engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation.
Within this framework, readers learn strategies for de-corporatizing
the university, transforming social work classrooms into inclusive
communities, and integrating ISWP principles into
ecobiopsychosocialspiritual practice with local and global
communities.
