Cases in Macro Social Work Practice provides relevant and contemporary case scenarios that reflect practice dilemmas and challenges typically experienced by social workers in organizational, community, and policy practice areas. These revised and new cases will ground readers in social work literature through theory and practice perspectives, granting them a starting point for dialogue and helping them find their place in the professional world of human services.

Highlights of the Second Edition:

Based on real-world experiences, the cases reflect current trends such as managed care, total quality management, strategic planning, and disabilities.
In-chapter exercises encourage activities such as role playing and priority setting.
New introductory section addresses case methods both in the classroom and in theory, concept, and practice.
New cases illustrate the tensions of different understandings of situations and the search for a solution to each.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
