From the Back Cover
With its unique approach of presenting the skills needed to work with families specifically from a social worker’s perspective, Working with Families, Fifth Edition, examines how to assess families according to their level of need--from the most basic level (needs for food, clothing, and shelter) to more advanced levels (needs for intimacy and self-actualization). An innovative model for choosing specific interventions at each level helps apply concepts to real practice.
