Synopsis
This workbook provides a wide range of exercises, role playing activities, and case scenarios to help students and practice specific macro skills. The text's versatility allows it to be the primary text in a practice course, to accompany other macro theory texts, to integrate macro development for field internships, and to enhance macro skill development for social workers in the field. Specific macro practice skills are presented in a straightforward manner, and both applications to actual macro practice situations and the importance of client system strengths are emphasized throughout.
