Rooney and Kim Strom-Gottfried (2005, Hardcover, Revised edition)Books & Magazines > Textbooks, Education & Reference > TextbooksProduct InformationThrough 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.Product IdentifiersPublisherWadsworthISBN-100534644589ISBN-139780534644581eBay Product ID (ePID)45027013Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishPublication Year2005Number of Pages704 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.9in.Item Height1.2in.Item Width8.1in.Item Weight44.9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberHv40.H53 2006Edition DescriptionRevised EditionEdition Number7ReviewsThis text is a comprehensive, well-written and effective tool for social work students in the foundation year.
