SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This volume provides practical guidance to understanding how legal issues impact the financial, psychological, emotional, and social concerns that their clients face. Legal issues are rarely integrated in social work education in a meaningful and practical way; therefore, it is imperative that social workers gain the interdisciplinary knowledge of the laws and policies that affect their client populations. This text broadens the traditional definition of forensic social work to include the legal issues encountered in all social work settings -- family and social services, education, child welfare, mental health, addiction treatment, juvenile and criminal systems, and immigration services.
