About this product
Product Information
Through proven learning experiences that are as close to real-life practice as can be obtained from a book, DIRECT SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE: THEORY AND SKILLS prepares social work students for effective work in the field. Many of the case examples are drawn from social work practitioners as well as the authors' own practice situations. Long praised for its appropriate level of rigor, the book integrates the major theories and skills that direct social work practitioners need to understand and master--thus giving the book its reputation as the classic source for helping students learn direct practice skills. 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), discussing four intervention approaches; and Part Four clarifies the termination phase of direct practice.

Reviews
This text is a comprehensive, well-written and effective tool for social work students in the foundation year. It provides an overview of the helping profess, underscored by the values and ethics of the profession, and proceeds through the helping stages with theories, skills development, case examples and classroom exercises that are clearly presented, offer diverse perspectives, and challenge the beginning practitioner. The continuous process of updating the literature and timely additions assures me that topics of importance to social work practitioners will be addressed. The access to InfoTrac and the Internet exercises are additional features that make this text desirable.
