- Synopsis
-
MORE DAYS IN THE LIVES OF SOCIAL WORKERS, like its popular predecessor DAYS IN THE LIVES OF SOCIAL WORKERS, illustrates through first-person narratives that there are no "typical" days in social work, but that professionally trained social workers take on a variety of roles. In this volume, there is more of a focus on macro roles than in the first, although this book also includes "micro"-level stories and illustrates ways in which social workers combine macro, mezzo, and micro level work in their everyday practice.
This is social work! Political advocacy, agency management, sex therapy, play therapy, mediation, conducting domestic violence evaluations, writing grants, doing research, providing food for the hungry, and more--these are all roles that social workers can (and do!) play. This easy-to-read, hard-to-put-down book will make a welcome supplement to the theory found in traditional textbooks. Find out how social work managers and practitioners put theory into practice on a day-to-day basis. Organizations, Web sites, and additional readings are listed to assist readers in further exploring areas of social work that are interest.
