Kaavya-ashw (Kaavyanchal Ashwamesh 2 Jaygaatha) Book

The book Socio-Psychological Dimensions for Social Work (A Practice guide) will introduce the discipline of professional social work. Social work is admired as a noble profession across the globe. However, in India,
it is yet to be recognized as a full-fledged profession as a profession it is concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources, and those of the community to resolve their problems.
Social work is concerned with, both the individual and problems and broader social issues. Through its nature, social work reveals its close relationship with other social sciences, like sociology, psychology, psychiatry, political Science, public administration, jurisprudence, history, human geography and other sciences. With this credible input from socio-psychology, social work evolves as a helping profession that contributes to individual's growth and development.
The latter deals with provision of social, emotional and welfare services. Social work provides social services to individuals while psychologists emphasize more on cognitive process and behaviour, thereby providing mental health services. It is evident that, psychology and social work share a very special relationship. This book dedicated itself to explore the relevance of socio-psychology in social work.
