Memoir of Professional Social Workers
The ‘Memoir of Professional Social Workers’ is the second volume of the book ‘Work and Life of the Professional Social Worker’ published by the Indian Society of Professional Work (ISPSW) in the year 2022. We hope this will motivate other professional social workers to write about their own life experiences by themselves or someone else whom they know. Their in-depth experience and enriched knowledge will be advantageous for other professional social workers to learn from their life. The current volume two has fifteen scholarly articles from eminent social work professionals (both educators and practitioners) across the country.
Social Work Practice in Mental Health
This book represents the sharing of knowledge and experiences that is cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary and across countries. It aims bringing to the social work practitioner a wealth of understanding about situations, practices and cultures that could not possibly have been experienced first-hand about mental health. The book provides cross cultural perspectives on recovery; strengths based practice, mindfulness, disaster & mental health, community mental health and other related aspects. These contributions from across the world, from different cultures, and from vastly different experiences are a celebration of the global practice of social work. The series of chapters in this book makes a contribution to a deeper understanding of various facets of social work in mental health. The complexities elucidated here can be addressed by embracing the power of teamwork, the power of visionary leadership and the power of reflexivity. The book offers an opportunity for practitioners to explore all these in detail.

Professional Social Work in India
This edited volume is a collection of core social work articles that have been published in the National Journal of Professional Social Work, an official publication of The Indian Society of Professional Social Work (ISPSW). After taking the responsibility of editorship by the first editor the journal seek to become truly online and open access and for the same, it was required to upload all published volumes in the archive of the journal. That's why an extensive search was carried out to gather all previously published issues; while scanning and digitalizing the papers it was observed that some papers are on the common theme and it will give in-depth insight on that particular topic if bring together; which was beyond the scope of a journal so, this book was conceptualized. The second editor took the pain of screening papers, OCR scanning, typesetting, and proofreading; due to the limited resource, all these works had to do by himself.

Health, Safety and Well-Being of Workers in the Informal Sector in India
This book focuses on the core problems of occupational health, safety and well-being of workers in the informal sector in developing countries, where it accounts for most of the rural labour force and a substantial percentage of the urban labour force. The sector is characterised by low incomes, unstable employment and lack of protection in the form of legislation/policies or trade unions. Though some health and problem-solving measures have been introduced, a focused academic effort to address the problems confronting workers in the unorganised sector, or informal economy, is lacking. The book evaluates workers’ physical and mental health in the context of labour migration, social inclusi...
On the Existence of the Self
Today most scientists and philosophers have come to regard the notion of the self as a kind of illusion, as a theoretical construct similar to the notion we have of the center of gravity. There are two reasons for this phenomenon: the first is due to the view propagated by the empirical sciences that all things in the universe, including the presence of consciousness, can be explained solely from physical causes; and the second is due to the philosophical arguments marshaled against substance ontology by David Hume and Emmanuel Kant and the consequent discarding of the idea of self as substance. This book confronts both these views – in two separate parts of the book - and shows them to be...
