Lakshmipathi Raju encapsulates over five decades of pioneering experience in social work education and practice in India. It provides a holistic exploration of the field, covering both foundational methods and their real-world applications in diverse settings such as families, schools, communities, medical institutions, and courts. The book is structured into five comprehensive sections—working with individuals and groups, communities and society, families, evolving perspectives in professional social work, and Gandhian social work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach section thoughtfully addresses critical components of the discipline, including casework, group work, community organization, social action, social legislation, family dynamics, ethical practices, and the emerging challenges faced by the profession. Especially notable is the section on Gandhian social work, where the author links Gandhian philosophy to contemporary practice, offering a unique ethical lens to modern-day interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in a clear and engaging style, this book is essential reading for academicians, students, researchers, NGOs, professional social workers, and anyone interested in the evolving role of social work in India’s rural, urban, and tribal communities. Its in-depth treatment of both theory and practice makes it a valuable reference for shaping policy, designing social programs, and empowering marginalized populations through effective social interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rawat Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50006118465840,"sku":"DRG.RawatPublications_9788131611852","price":1167.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/717twLePbFL.jpg?v=1756464130","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/readings-in-social-work-changing-perspectives-and-practices-of-a-profession","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
