| Summary | Annotation Many of the social problems associated with urban areas-from AIDS to welfare-are also found in contemporary rural America. This comprehensive and much-needed resource examines the practices and particular challenges of rural social work. The contributors consider the history and development of rural social work and how welfare reform has unfolded in rural America. They also discuss various strategies for intervention in rural communities and the influence of the Internet and other new technologies in serving clients. In addressing the needs of specific client populations and fields of practice, the contributors examine current trends and services for helping the mentally ill, ethnic minorities, the elderly, gays and lesbians, and those with HIV/AIDS. The book concludes with a look at the unique issues associated with educating social workers for rural practice. |
