Rezensionen
'A valuable resource! It reflects the global diversity and cultural sensitivity of social work. In this handbook, contributing authors from Africa, Asia, and Latin America share their experiences in organising study placements and practice learning of students. The authors also discuss local models for field education under social realities of countries facing poverty, inequality and human rights violation, sometimes with insufficiently institutionalised social work as a profession. The text provides practical examples to guide the universities and social services. I consider that social work educators will find this reflexive book useful.'

Tetyana Semigina, Professor, Academy of Labour, Social Relations and Tourism, Kyiv, Ukraine, and former Secretary of the International Association of Schools of Social Work

'As a profession that requires direct contact with clients who may be vulnerable, disadvantaged and low resourced, being acculturated into the practice environment through field work is absolutely important. This global handbook on how field work is being organised in different socio-economic-political contexts is a unique contribution to social work education. This book is an invaluable contribution in field work in the Global South and I would strongly recommend it to all social work education programs as populations are moving around and the training under different cultural context should be world knowledge.'

Cecilia Lai Wan Chan, Professor Emeritus, Department of Social Work & Social Administration, The University of Hong Kong
