With the increase in immigration in the late 1980s--when the number of refugees entering the United States nearly doubled as well--the number of clients needing social work services rose dramatically. \u003ci\u003eSocial Work Practice with Immigrants and Refugees\u003c\/i\u003e takes an ecological systems perspective on working with these two distinct groups, paying special attention to the relationship between individuals and their social environment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on the major immigrant groups who have come to the United States since the 1965 Immigration Act, the book contains chapters on immigrants and refugees from Asia, Latin America, Europe, and Africa.
