About this product

Product Information

This text prepares social work students for effective work in the field through proven learning experiences that are as close to real-life practice as they can get from a textbook. The book has long been praised for the rigor of its theory. It is regarded as the classic and best source for helping students learn direct social work practice skills. The book integrates the major theories and skills that direct social work practitioners need to understand and master. Consisting of four parts, the book begins by identifying the mission of social work, its values, and knowledge base. The authors then differentiate generalist from direct practice and explore roles of direct practitioners. Common elements amongst diverse theorists are then examined while key intervention strategies and various client population and practice settings are presented. Specifically, Part One provides the foundational/values and knowledge base material; Part Two is devoted to the beginning phase of the helping process; Part Three addresses the middle phase (goal attainment strategies); and Part Four clarifies the termination phase of direct practice.

Reviews
I would definitely adopt this publication. I have used the two previous editions and have been very satisfied. This edition is stronger than the previous two. I like the comprehensiveness, clarity, and detail, along with the use of the most current sources of information to keep the information timely. I have not seen a stronger text for Direct Practice during my 20 years in the field of social work., This edition is rich in content preparing students for contemporary practice; it meets many of CSWE's curricular standards. The material on culturally competent practice woven throughout the book is extremely valuable to both students and teachers, as in the inclusion of newer practice models and approaches (cognitive, strength, social skills, stress management)). I find this edition to be more tightly organized. Thank you for the opportunity to preview the text's newest edition. I look forward to using it with future classes!

  • Direct Social Work Practice/With Infotrac by Dean H. He

    I actually purchased this book for a friend who is a psychologist. She lost her copy and apparently it is a very good book and a wanted book for the field. It is an expensive book and she got an incredible deal on ebay on it. So if you are in the field and don't have the book I recommend your getting it!

  • Great book for any social worker

    This book was recommended as a good review when prepare for licensing exam. It really is. This book helped with licensing and I still consult it in my practice. I wish my grad program used it.
