About the Author
New to this Edition
A new focus on transculturalism skills, extending beyond multiculturalism skills, is featured in Workouts 12 and 14.
Workouts 8 and 9 incorporate the ever-changing state of technology and its consequences for clients (e.g., cyberstalking) as well as for professionals (e.g., ethical issues related to e-counseling and issues of confidentiality).
The current state of evidence-based practice and its implications for social work professionals are considered in Workout 15.
Workouts 3, 5, 6, and 8 challenge and build the student's skills as they relate to successful community organization, a central method of practice.
Key Features
- Practical in focus, this book covers the key areas in which social workers actually work. It introduces students to practice with individuals and families as well as policy practice and advocacy.
- The workbook inspires students to analyze important real-world issues in the field and to debate them with their fellow students, transforming the classroom environment into an interactive learning experience.
- Each of the 19 Workouts helps students to articulate a personal value system, to develop an increased understanding of the context in which services are provided, and to formulate a framework for examining human problems that integrates personal values as well as those of the profession.
