Psychiatric Social Work: Principles to Practice

Abstract

Psychiatric Social Work practice and teaching in India has spanned over eight decades, yet there are still very few dedicated titles or volumes on the subject. There is a strong need for a comprehensive volume on Psychiatric Social Work to support both training and practice. "Psychiatric Social Work: Principles to Practice," written by Chittaranjan Subudhi, is a commendable effort to fill this gap. In this regard, it explores the historical, contemporary, and future perspectives of psychiatric social work in India. It is particularly relevant for students, educators, and practitioners within the field, offering insights into the evolution and practice of psychiatric social work in the Indian context.
