The study investigated social work students’ perceptions of elders as depressed and suffering (N= 156). Four predictor variables were identified from a standard regression analysis that account for 32% of the model’s adjusted variance: (a) perceptions of elders as vulnerable, (b) perceptions about elders as oppressed. Overall, respondents perceived elders as being depressed, vulnerable, members of an oppressed group, abusive of substances, and only moderately resilient in response to mental health services. Implications are discussed for social work education.

This conceptual paper considers aspects of a highly neglected topic: that of Islamic perspectives in social work education and practice. The paper seeks to illuminate both religiously informed values, together with those of practice; in addition to considering types of professional intervention that complement the generalised characteristics of Muslim families. The scale of problems that impact upon Muslim communities in Britain are closely considered, specifically in relation to deprivation, social alienation and domestic violence. In addition, health issues are reviewed in terms of mental health and disability.
