Social work is a broad profession that intersects with several disciplines. Social functioning is the way in which people perform their social roles, and the structural institutions that are provided to sustain them. Social work intersects with other social science fields including sociology, psychology, political science, law, and economics.
- Introduction to Social Work (Gladden et al.)
- This book was written by MSW students as their final project for their Capstone class. Students were each assigned a chapter of the book to write to show that they had achieved competency as a Master’s level social worker. Chapters were assigned based on student interest and experience in certain areas of the field. The 2017 MSW class was excited to be able to contribute to the learning of their peers by writing this book!
