Inhalt:

Service providers are increasingly called upon to serve clients at home, a setting even a seasoned professional can find difficult to negotiate. From monitoring the health of older populations to managing paroled offenders, preventing child abuse, and reunifying families, home-based services require models that ensure positive outcomes and address the ethical dilemmas that might arise in such a sensitive context.The contributors to this volume are national experts in diverse fields of social work practice, policy, and research. Treating the home as an ecological setting that guides human development and family interaction, they present rationales for and overviews of evidence-based models across an array of populations and fields of practice. Section one provides historical background and contemporary applications for home-based services. It also highlights ethical, administrative, and supervision issues unique to agencies that provide home-based services and summarizes the social policies that shape service delivery. Section two addresses home-based practice in such fields as child and adult mental health, school social work, and hospice care, detailing the particular population being treated, the policy and agency context, theories and empirical data, and practice guidelines. In section three, the editors present a unifying framework and suggest future directions for home-based social work.
