Opis

This important new textbook examines the knowledge, skills, and values that underpin current social work. It emphasizes the need for workers to consider their approach to practice and how this may impact on the assessment, intervention, and evaluation of their work with service users. With its clear focus on skills, social work processes, and the suitability of different methods, this text offers students a toolkit for applying theoretical frameworks to actual practice situations.
