Segal's EMPOWERMENT SERIES: SOCIAL WELFARE POLICY AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS, ENHANCED, 4th Edition, not only enables you to identify, describe, and analyze social welfare policies--it also draws you into an examination of the values and beliefs that drive our social welfare system. The author demonstrates how the myriad values of diverse groups in America have influenced current policies, and shows that analysis takes place through the lens of these often opposing values. The dual themes of critical thinking and critical evaluation provide the framework of the book, and Segal's inclusion of international perspectives on values around social welfare policies and social programs heightens your awareness of the global implications of social work around the world. Review: Gives an in depth understanding of social concepts. - Covers a wide variety of social tips, history, and ideologies. Worth reading if you want to understand more social concepts.

Great book, tasteless advertising by Amazon!
The book is better than acceptable by any criteria. I would have given five stars except it came with a sticker advertising textbook rentals from Amazon. NOT COOL! Don’t do that again, m’kay?!

Clearly explains social welfare policies and programs
Clearly explains social welfare policies and programs. This was required reading for a social work class but I believe that it would be helpful to anyone. How many individuals really know what social security covers? This book explores the beginnings of social programs as well as current situations and it also looks at implications within social programs.

The book was in great shape, I figured being a rental it would be torn and weathered but it looked brand new. It a great book to introduce you to the social welfare system we have in America. It has a detailed history of social welfare policy and programming as well, a must know for all upcoming social workers!
