This illuminating book offers a comprehensive overview of what is known about the resettlement of young asylum-seekers, answering social work practitioners' need for a fuller understanding of this challenging and under-researched area of work. Drawing on the author's original research, the text reviews existing theoretical frameworks and research evidence, establishes a detailed picture of current resettlement practice, and develops a new conceptual framework for social work that is sensitive to the distinctive needs of this vulnerable group.
