What connects social work and health? What concepts of health do we rely on in our daily lives or in science? What roles can social work take on? Hans Günther Homfeldt and Stephan Sting address the current questions related to health promotion and clarify the role that social work can play in this context: new fields of action have emerged, ranging from AIDS and addiction prevention to health promotion in schools and clinical social work. The authors present the various fields of action in a systematic context and develop perspectives for the future of health-related social work in practice, education, and research.
