Synopsis
Preparing for a career in social work is an exciting endeavor that demands a lot of effort from future practitioners. This text/workbook provides students with a practical application of the information that accompanies beginning and advanced methods and practice classes. It focuses on evidence-based research and the strengths-based approach as it applies to practice methods. Students will not only gain a working knowledge of practice methods but also learn how and when to apply these skills to specific clients in a variety of settings. The text/workbook outlines the value base of the profession, theoretical approaches, and cultural, ethical, and social justice issues that social workers will encounter in their work. In addition, it provides detailed instructions on building rapport and engaging with clients, conducting assessments, formulating goals with clients, using evidence-based interventions, evaluating progress, and terminating the helping relationship. Throughout the book, attention is given to the important qualities that an ethical professional must possess, such as self-awareness and a nonjudgmental attitude. Unlike other texts of this nature, particular attention is given to a strengths-based perspective on direct practice social work. To this end, the authors developed the strengths-based direct practice (SBDP) framework, which is explained thoroughly in Chapter 3 and subsequently woven into the rest of the text. This engaging text prepares readers to work with clients in the helping relationship.
