Relationship-based practice is founded on the idea that human relationships are of paramount importance and should be at the heart of all good social work practice. This book provides a thorough guide to relationship-based practice in social work, integrating the ideas behind it using illustrative case studies and offering a model for practice. Case examples cover the different service user groups, such as older people, people with disabilities and people with mental health difficulties, illustrate how relationship-based practice works in reality and explore the ranges of emotions that practitioners may encounter. The book outlines key skills such as how to establish rapport with the client and using empathy to build a relationship. It also explores incorporating service user perspectives, appropriate support systems and effective leadership into relationship focused work. This book will be an invaluable textbook for undergraduate and post-graduate social work students, practitioners on post-qualifying courses and all social work and allied professionals.

Product Description
Review
Relationship Based Social Work re-affirms the importance of the working relationship between social worker and service user within a contemporary perspective. This is a timely and thought provoking work which provides a well argued counterpoint to the increasing dominance of managerial and outcomes-based approaches to social work practice. As such it will be of great value to students and practitioners alike. --Martin Gill, Lecturer in Social Work, University of East Anglia, UK

Relationship-based Social Work: Truly Get's to heart of practice learning.
30 Mar 2011
By TCA
Format:Paperback
As a social work practitioner and lecturer in social work, this is the book I have been waiting for. At last I am reading a text book that has true practice resonance for me. The text is well written, motivating and inspirational and is a useful tool in practice and theoretical learning. I will be using this book as a core text in module teaching, and will be recommending that students purchase the book as part of essential reading. I have reread several chapters, so I hope it will be available in hardback soon?
