Synopsis:

A primary text for the advanced practice course at the core of the MSW curriculum, this textbook teaches students how to integrate theory and practice on multiple levels.

Building on the foundation or generalist year, this student-friendly text includes historical content, assessment within a theoretical framework that considers the use of DSM-IV and the mental status exam, a walkthrough of a clinical interview and the stages of treatment, eight chapters on models of treatment, and a chapter on research and practice evaluation. The chapter on developing the psychosocial study includes a model that walks the student through the process.

Case studies are integrated throughout and are richly diverse, drawn from practice experience, and show how theory is applied to work with individuals, families, and groups. Each chapter also includes learning activities, role plays, and assignments that will help students master the content.

Review:

Here's what the reviewers are saying...

 

“I think the strengths of Clinical Social Work Practice include being thoroughly readable, being logically ordered, and covering a nice variety of theories and approaches (without being exhaustive and exhausting!).”

― Jill Davis, University of Central Florida
