      abstract = {This handbook arises from teaching international social  work in the context of Switzerland. A key aim is to extend  social work beyond narrow national perspectives and see the  profession as truly global and international. This will  transform its everyday practice in the workplace, with the  realisation that there is a multiplicity of factors that  have relevance and meaning for the individuals, groups and  communities social workers engage with. This means  respecting indigenous knowledge, realising the impact of  colonialism and power imbalance and working towards  developing a new ‘ecosocial’ perspective that is more  holistic and inclusive than the traditional,  Western-oriented and neo-liberal approach so dominant in  current practice. The authors – representing academic and  professional (IFSW) backgrounds – provide their own  perspectives and insights into these issues.},
