Field Work is essentially a major component in social work education both at undergraduate and postgraduate level in Social Work Courses. Field Work Practicum is a compulsory paper in each and every semester of BSW and MSW Programme and thus occupies a dominant place in social work education. The book not only contains the basic concepts, components, ethical issues and challenges of field work practice, but also both theory and practice-based knowledge and its application in various important contemporary areas of social work practice. The book is designed to help the social work students to acquire knowledge, basic understanding of different areas of practice, skills and competence to work efficiently in various field work situations. Most of the chapters in the book are contributed by leading academicians in the fields of social work from various schools of social work in India and abroad.
