Synopsis
'To greater or lesser degrees much social work activity involves work with involuntary clients yet few texts have attempted to address this complex issue. Dr Trotter's book presents an accessible and coherent model of direct practice, supported by research, which can be applied across a range of welfare settings.' Professor Gillian McIvor, Director Social Work Research Centre, University of Stirling
'I believe the approaches advocated will make much sense to people who have worked with involuntary clients and the framework the model provides will be appealing.' Lloyd Owen, Social Work, La Trobe University, and editor of Children Australia
'This is an ideal handbook for welfare workers, probation officers and anyone else who works with involuntary clients.' Colin Roberts, Fellow of Green College, Oxford University
Many social workers and welfare workers are employed in positions where they deal with involuntary clients, particularly in corrective services, child protection, mental health and residential care. These positions are demanding, and require specific skills. Working with Involuntary Clients is a practical guide to working with both the clients and their families.
Chris Trotter's new problem-solving model offers a way to work in partnership with involuntary clients. The model emphasises clarifying roles, promoting pro-social values, dealing with issues of authority and establishing goals. The approach is integrated and systematic.
Illustrated with case examples, Working with Involuntary Clients is a text for social work and welfare students, and a reference for professionals.
