FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This book outlines a practice model which gives expression to the social work perspective on human problems. The book is critical of casework theory on the one hand for failing to operationalize the social work commitment to a genuinely social assessment, and of the radical critics of social work models. The approach to practice outlined in this book shows what practical steps social workers can take to involve their clients in the struggle for social change. It is an approach which looks first to small, tangible gains that can lay the foundation for an expanded change agenda as clients gain in confidence and experience.
