Becoming Miracle Workers: Language and Learning in Brief Therapy
ISBN: 9780202305707 / Angielski / Twarda / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

One indicator of these is brief therapists' describing the people who seek their services as clients. The terminology may be...

Building Community Capacity
ISBN: 9780202306391 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on a gap in current social work practice theory: community change.

Set against the context of an often narrowly constructed -clinical- emphasis on practice education, coupled with social work's own current rendering of -scientific management, - community practice often takes second or third billing in many...
