The End of Social Work: A Defense of the Social Worker in Times of Transformation explores the deeply flawed status quo of the social work profession. Its message is clear: it is not acceptable for social workers to labor under intolerable working conditions and financial strain because they work with the poor and oppressed. Steve Burghardt addresses why social workers no longer have the income and status once shared with nurses and teachers. He addresses the leadership failures that cause social workers to be blamed for not ending poverty yet expected to handle burnout through self-care rather than collective action. He looks beyond nostrums of social justice to the indifference to systemic racism in the profession's journals and programs and explores the damage caused by substituting individuated measures of unvalidated competencies for grounded wisdom in practice. It is thus no accident that a profession committing to "care for everyone" undermines the herculean work that so many social workers do on behalf of the poor, marginalized, and oppressed. Situating the work in the crises of 2020, Burghardt ends with a proposed call to action directed at a transformed profession. Such a campaign would be situated within the national struggles for racial justice, climate change, and economic equality so that social work and social workers regain their legitimacy as authentic advocates fighting alongside the poor and oppressed--and doing so for themselves as well. A rallying cry for social work itself, The End of Social Work is an ideal resource for social work programs and practicing social workers driven to enact meaningful change.

Social workers have their hands in a lot of big sociopolitical issues. When it comes to the death penalty, their involvement is especially crucial. Social workers might support those receiving the sentence, engage with the families of those sentenced, participate in mitigation work, examine the critical discourse (psychiatric, psychological, and legal) leading up to and after the sentence, contribute to research surrounding mental health as it relates to the criminal justice system, or even use social advocacy and policy practice to examine the death penalty. In Social Work, Criminal Justice, and the Death Penalty, professionals with backgrounds spanning, law, forensics, academia, and social work combine and explain their experiences surrounding this prominent social justice issue. The book is broken into three sections: Criminal Justice Considerations, Sociopolitical Considerations, and Applied Social Work Considerations. Across each section, chapters provide explicit implications for the social work professional in a criminal justice setting. The resulting volume equips beginning professionals and students with a holistic overview of the intersection of criminal justice and social justice.

"Moral injury is defined as the sort of harm that results when someone has perpetrated, failed to prevent, or witnessed acts that transgress deeply held moral beliefs. Social workers and other human services professionals are well versed in the ravages, symptoms, and treatment of the complicated forms of posttraumatic stress that accompany moral injury, and the issue has been gaining attention. The purpose of this book is to provide in-depth discussion of the concepts of moral injury, moral distress, and moral demoralization; common causes; the ways in which moral injury, moral distress, and moral demoralization are manifested; the causes of moral injury, moral distress, and moral demoralization; secondary trauma, including the ways in which moral injury, moral distress, and moral demoralization affect practitioners; ethical/moral dilemmas; prevention strategies; the role of advocacy and moral courage; and practitioner self-care and resilience. The book includes extensive case examples (clinical, administration, policy practice, advocacy) drawn from the author's experience in and consultation with practitioners employed in public welfare offices, mental health agencies (residential and nonresidential), child and family services programs (residential and nonresidential), substance use programs (residential and nonresidential), housing and homelessness programs, prisons, schools, hospitals, military settings, private/independent practice, immigration and refugee resettlement programs, nursing homes, HIV/AIDS programs, disabilities services programs, hospice programs, and parole/probation offices, among others"--
