Opis

The first textbook to emphasize the importance of critical thinking skills to practice, this third edition of the classic Social Work Practice retains its unique focus on thinking critically about decisions that social workers make daily. Organized around the phases of helping, this hands-on introduction highlights the decision points that social workers encounter during assessment, intervention, and evaluation. This text, together with its companion website, provides students with a wealth of hands-on exercises for developing and assessing their practice skills. Most importantly, it helps students enhance client well-being by becoming critical thinkers and evidence-informed practitioners.

Recenzje

Her [Gambrill's] message that social workers try to solve problems which have causes outside the influence of social work resonates throughout the book. This is a challenging but encouraging read for the nearly disillusioned. It could seem primarily a thinker's book but instead deftly helps the pragmatist to think differently too.
