Summary
This textbook offers the perfect introduction to the complex world of social work theory, giving a concise and engaging overview of how practice is influenced by each theoretical approach described. The book begins by outlining the origins and historical context of social work, which allows the listener to see show how theoretical fashions have changed and adapted to certain times, and concludes with advice on the best way forward for the modern-day social worker. Packed with thought-provoking discussions surrounding the topic, students will be encouraged to question the theories portrayed – a skill crucial to being a truly effective social work practitioner.
The new edition features additional learning aids, including chapter summaries, case studies, and reflective questions, to help listeners consolidate their learning. There is also a companion website which features discussions of key theories and case studies linked to each chapter.
This is a must-have companion for students and practitioners looking to gain an overall view of social work theory.
