"Social Work Process and Practice examines the knowledge, skills and values that underpin and inform current social work practice and processes. This text begins by considering how social workers' approach to practice impacts on the service that they deliver, and outlines the various factors that influence this approach. It then goes on to examine the main methods used by social work practitioners, including behavioural, crisis intervention and psychosocial methods, demonstrating the need to utilise a range of skills." "Social Work Process and Practice offers students a toolkit for applying theoretical frameworks to actual practice situations. Logical and comprehensive, this is an introductory text that provides both social work students and practitioners with a fresh analysis of social work processes and practices."--Jacket.
