Description
Nearly unchecked numbers of refugees and immigrants entering North America have placed a burgeoning need on social services programs. This comprehensive book is an important source of current information regarding delivery of services to these new populations. Social Work With Immigrants and Refugees promotes needed understanding of the realities of these groups'experiences--the pain and confusion, the struggles to adjust, and the rewards of life in a new land. Enlightening chapters guide human service professionals in their work with immigrants and refugees undergoing psychosocial adjustment problems. Authors contribute their personal and professional experiences and discuss both theoretical and practical aspects of relevant social work issues. Topics discussed include realities of immigrant and refugee experiences, stress theories, social and political factors facing immigrant groups, management issues in service delivery, training modules for service providers, theoretical considerations, and adjustment problems relating to specific refugee groups such as immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Social workers, paraprofessionals, and students and faculty in graduate and undergraduate social work programs will find this enlightening volume to be extremely informative and useful in their work with immigrants and refugees. It provides much-needed guidance for individuals assisting in the settlement and adjustment of people newly arrived in an unfamiliar country.
