This revised edition aims to meet the demand for a simply-presented, concise guide to the main theories and methods that underlie effective social work practice. Traditional approaches as well as newer ones are covered, ranging from case management to work with families and groups. The author supplies numerous case studies to illustrate the application of theory to practice, reflecting important issues related to anti-discriminatory work and summarizing the essential components of each method at the end of each chapter. The book examines core methods of working with people which will be useful across a range of settings and with different client groups.
