This introductory text presents a model of generalist practice that emphasizes core practice skills, building trust in the helping relationship, and the empowerment of disadvantaged client populations. The book integrates empirical practice methods with a strengths-based approach to micro and macro generalist practice. Written in straightforward language and relatively free of jargon, the book incorporates case examples throughout. Each of the special populations chapters is written and contributed by experts in the area covered.
