Co-published by the National Association of Social Workers and Oxford University Press

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and Oxford University Press are proud to announce the new 20th edition of The Encyclopedia of Social Work, which is scheduled to be published in Spring 2008. This new edition of the Encyclopedia includes coverage of areas that have come to the fore since the 1995 publication of the 19th edition including demographic changes from immigration, technology, the implications of managed care, faith-based assistance, evidence-based practice, gerontology, and trauma and disaster. Each thoughtful article is written and signed by a top academic or social work practitioner and includes a bibliography for further reading.

Partnering with Oxford University Press for the first time, the NASW Press endeavors to maintain the quality of the latest edition and at the same time to include new material to keep abreast of changes in the profession and society at large.
