Encyclopedia of Human Services and Diversity

About this book

Encyclopedia of Human Services and Diversity is the first encyclopedia to reflect the changes in the mission of human services professionals as they face today's increasingly diverse service population.Ā Diversity encompasses a broad range of human differences, including differences in ability and disability, age, education level, ethnicity, gender, geographic origin, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, and values.Ā Understanding the needs and problems of Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, the deaf, the blind, the LGBT community, and many other groups demands an up-to-date and cutting-edge reference. This three-volume encyclopedia provides human services students, professors, librarians, and practitioners the reference information they need to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population.

  • A detailed index, the Reader's Guide, and cross references combine for search-and-browse in the electronic version.
  • AĀ helpful Resource Guide guides students to classic books, journals, and web sites, and a glossary assists them with the terminology of the field.
