3. The third edition of an extensively sold social work text displays the striking alterations that have arisen in our health care milieu since the second edition was issued in 2004óand will likely keep occurring. It is a pragmatic handbook for social workers who must maneuver our intricate health care milieu and embrace new trials while adjusting to continual change. The book embodies many aspects of professional health care social work within the U.S. health care system, across prominent health care configurations and with numerous diverse patient demographics. The book is also a summon to action for social workers, who nowadays must not only be therapeutically effective but must be professionally competitive with other health care providers that lay claim to similar treatment strategies and techniques. A strong emphasis on the importance of constructing best practices that are evidence-based, supportive, and ethically accountable while remaining time-limited and cost-effective permeates the third edition.

   A Glossary, Questions for Further Study, and a list of pertinent websites can be found in each chapter. At the conclusion of each chapter, a “Future Directions” section assists social workers in comprehending what to anticipate and how to prepare for changes in order to exercise successfully. This third edition also encompasses updated professional profiles for diverse areas of practice and is complemented by an Instructor’s Manual that furnishes a test bank, activities tailored to enhance learning, and a sample syllabus.
