Evidence-based practice in clinical social work / James W Drisko; Melissa D Grady
Cham, Switzerland : Springer, 2019
353 pages. : illustrations
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 361.32
"The second edition of Evidence-Based Practice in Clinical Social Work continues to close the prominent gap between social work research and clinical practice, presenting EBP as both an effective approach to social work and a broader social movement. Building on the models and insights outlined in the first edition, this new edition provides updated research and additional case studies that address contemporary concerns such as immigration and opioid addiction. Additionally, it includes a greater focus on collaborative decision making with clients, discusses issues of human diversity, and promotes critical awareness of how limited definitions of `evidence' may systematically disadvantage certain populations. Using their breadth of multidisciplinary experience as practitioners, researchers, and educators, the authors guide readers through the EBP decision-making process in assessment, treatment planning, and evaluation, providing guidelines for making relevant use of research findings. The book places special emphasis on balancing clinical expertise and client needs, and analyzes both the strengths and limitations of the EBP model in order to give readers a fuller idea of how the method will shape their own practice."

The ASEAN miracle : a catalyst for peace / Kishore Mahbubani and Jeffery Sng.
Singapore : Ridge Books, 2017
xvi, 264 pages :illustration, 1 map ; 24 cm
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 305.89510
"The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a miracle. Why? In an era of growing cultural pessimism, many thoughtful individuals believe that different civilizations – especially Islam and the West – cannot live together in peace. The ten countries of ASEAN provide a thriving counter-example of civilizational coexistence. Here 625m people live together in peace. This miracle was delivered by ASEAN. In an era of growing economic pessimism, where many young people believe that their lives will get worse in coming decades, Southeast Asia bubbles with optimism. In an era where many thinkers predict rising geopolitical competition and tension, ASEAN regularly brings together all the world’s great powers. Stories of peace are told less frequently than stories of conflict and war. ASEAN’s imperfections make better headlines than its achievements. But in the hands of Kishore Mahbubani and Jeffery Sng, the good news story is also a provocation and a challenge to the rest of the world."

The International Labour Organization : 100 Years of Global Social Policy / Daniel Maul
Berlin : De Gruyter, 2019
298 pages. : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 331.908
This book is the first comprehensive account of the International Labour Organization's 100-year history. At its heart is the concept of global social policy, which encompasses not only social policy in its national and international dimensions, but also development policy, world trade, international migration and human rights. The book focuses on the ILO's roles as a key player in debates on poverty, social justice, wealth distribution and social mobility subjects and as a global forum for addressing these issues. The study puts in perspective the manifold ways in which the ILO has helped structure these debates and has made - through its standard-setting, technical cooperation and myriad other activities - practical contributions to the world of work and to global social policy.
