Spend a day with 58 professional social workers, each in a different setting. Take a look at the ups and downs
and ins and outs of their real-life days in the “trenches” of social work practice.
Each chapter presents a first person look at social work practice, with the following areas represented:
health care, HIV/AIDS, schools, children/youth/families, disabilities, mental health, substance abuse, private
practice, criminal justice, older adults and the end of life, management, veterans and the military, higher education, international social work, and working in communities.
This book is the ultimate guide to social work careers. Whether you are a social work student, an experienced professional wishing to make a change in career direction, or just thinking about going into the
field, you will learn valuable lessons from the experiences described in DAYS IN THE LIVES OF SOCIAL
WORKERS.
The fourth edition contains four new chapters, expanding content on bullying, geriatric care management, social work leadership, and entrepreneurship. A new foreword by NASW executive director Elizabeth J. Clark has been added, as well as a new appendix on social media, apps, and blogs.

35 “Real-Life” Stories of Advocacy, Outreach,

and Other Intriguing Roles in Social Work Practice

Linda May Grobman, ACSW, LSW, Editor
Using the same first-person narrative format as the popular DAYS IN THE LIVES OF SOCIAL WORKERS, this new
volume allows the reader to spend a day with 35 professional social workers, each in a different setting. In this
book, the editor provides more of a focus on macro social work roles than in the first, although this volume
also includes “micro”-level stories, and illustrates ways in which social workers combine macro, mezzo, and
micro level work in their everyday practice.
