This textbook provides theoretical and clinical knowledge needed by social workers and other practitioners involved in humanitarian emergency response. Social workers are well positioned to serve coordinating and leadership roles in this interdisciplinary field due to their holistic training. This book weaves together micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice into integrated social work practice. Its historical account of humanitarian emergencies, coverage of social work frameworks and principles, and review of existing best practices at the clinical, community, and policy levels ground the reader in a field of social work that requires consideration of historical frameworks alongside innovative responses to the complexity of humanitarian emergencies.The contributors incorporate best practices as well as address gaps in awareness, knowledge, and skills that they have observed and studied worldwide. Some of the topics explored include:Social Work with Displaced Children, Women,  LGBTQI+, Asylum SeekersReturn and Reintegration of Displaced Populations and Reconstruction in Post-conflict SocietiesCulture, Trauma, and Loss: Integrative Social Work Practice with Refugees and Asylum SeekersClinical Social Work Practice with Forcibly Displaced Persons Grounded in Human Rights and Social Justice PrinciplesIntegrative Social Work Practice with Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Other Forcibly Displaced Persons is adoptable as a primary text for MSW and doctoral elective courses on global social work or international social work practice with persecuted and forcibly displaced people. This textbook is targeted to clinical social work or policy courses as well, and can be supplemental reading for required courses for migration and forced displacement majors. It is also useful for social workers or interdisciplinary practitioners working around the globe with displaced populations.¿I wish this work had been available during past initiatives spearheaded by the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. It would have positively impacted our endeavor to provide a wide range of services to our country's resettled refugees. This book needs to be read and integrated into practice by all who seek to ethically support refugees and other vulnerable populations.¿Nguyen Van Hanh, Former Director, Office of Refugee Resettlement
