<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Since the publication of its first edition in 2005, <em>Advocacy Practice for Social Justice</em> has served as a clear, comprehensive, and practical resource for social work courses in advocacy, community practice, and macro practice. Now in its fourth edition, this text provides extensive information<br>on the value base for advocacy; an examination of why people get involved in advocacy; and step-by-step instructions for social workers and others who want to impact laws, regulations, and policies at any level. Bearing in mind the National Association of Social Workers' Code of Ethics' requirements<br>to advocate on behalf of vulnerable populations, readers learn that advocacy is a problem-solving technique similar to that used in social work practice of all types. The book moves through the stages of advocacy: getting involved; understanding the issue; planning; advocating through education, <br>persuasion, and negotiation; presenting information effectively; monitoring and evaluating results; and integrating advocacy into a social worker's everyday practice. The fourth edition's inclusion of new topics and solid foundation in social work values make it a must-read as social work students<br>and practitioners work diligently to maintain the profession's focus on successful advocacy for social justice.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>The main goal of this book is to provide extensive information on the value base for advocacy, and offer an examination of why people get inovlved in it.
