About the Author
Ruth R. Middleman and Gale Goldberg Wood are both Professors of Social Work at the Kent School of Social Work at the University of Louisville. They have collaborated for twenty years and have written books with an innovative approach to social work practice (the structural approach) and many journal articles in areas of practice: experiential approaches, perception and cognition, group work, and interviewing skills.
From the Back Cover
In Skills for Direct Practice in Social Work Ruth Middleman and Gale Goldberg Wood provide a practical, clear discussion of sixty-three skills needed by all who must interact purposefully with individuals and groups in helping situations. The skills are defined, illustrated in vignettes, and related to pertinent sources in the literature. They are applicable to many theoretical approaches and include fundamental considerations for social workers - appearance, vocabulary, accountability, openness, sensitivity, and many others. Skills for Direct Practice in Social Work will help students and professionals to convey their practice intentions and to overcome many of the obstacles to effective social work practice.
