In Unconditional Care of Context, John S. Sprinson and Ken Berrick reclaim problems of ecological adversity-poverty, racism, housing instability, community disadvantage, food insecurity, and social disconnection-as central to understanding and working with system involved children and families. Child-serving systems typically define the struggles of high-risk children and their families through a disorder lens of psychiatric diagnosis and family dysfunction, which often minimize the interconnected burdens that confront these families. This volume offers a roadmap for addressing issues of social context and ecological adversity that confront children and families engaged with child and family-serving systems. Moreover, it is a call for the field of human service to reconnect with the concrete realities of families' real circumstances and enlarge its focus to include practices that are ecologically informed.
