This introduction to social work examines three disciplines (addictions, human growth and development and justice studies) from a social work perspective. The video focuses on the theory that recovery from poverty and/or physical, psychological or spiritual illness requires a holistic approach. If a social services professional is to successfully identify and engage the client in a process that can lead to healing and wholeness, he/she must focus on, and treat, the intellectual, emotional, physical, environmental and spiritual realms. The video offers the viewer live-action dialogues with practitioners in criminal justice, addictions, and social work,students, and subject matter experts.
