Sociální práce - Současné trendy – Hricová Alena (2024)

The publication focuses on current challenges and trends in the field of social work through contributions from academics and practitioners from the Czech and Slovak Republics. The authors share their experiences and insights from various areas of social work, whether it concerns social work in schools, the personnel crisis at OSPOD, barriers to effective funding of social services, new trends in social work with people with disabilities, or the commodification of social work and its impact on the quality of services provided. The book also covers socio-legal topics such as legal capacity and the issues surrounding its limitation, the role of OSPOD in resolving highly contentious divorces, and the importance of legal awareness and its application in social work. Another important part includes specific areas of care: palliative and hospice care, mental health care for children and adolescents, and social work with refugees. The book is intended for students of social work and related fields, as well as practitioners seeking current information and new approaches in their work. It presents a comprehensive view of social work as a scientific discipline and practical field that plays a key role in addressing social issues and providing support to those in need.
