Format:Paperback
This book is the one that every student social worker should buy. It is an electic work covering the main social work skills and theory bases used in modern practice. This, the latest edition now covers each area in more detail particularly in relation to the evolution of Care Management. If you only ever buy one book, this should be it. You will find yourself referring to it again and again in preparation for qualification, during practice and for practice teaching. Its general approach to areas of social work is academic but practical making it easy to read. Its a must for all social workers today!

This should be an important text to any social work student in their first year and after. It offers guidance on assessment and methods of intervention, concerning itself with skills and theory. In particular, counselling, crisis intervention, task-centered practice and cognitive behavioural practice interventions are explored by individual chapters. However not all intervention methods are included, such as solution-focused practice. The later part of book offers general discussion to work with children and families, adults, groups and communities, for example theoretical viewpoints in family therapy, person-centred planning, groups and change and community development. This book accompanies very well Social Work Skills by Pamela Trevithick, which I also recommend.
