About this title

Synopsis

As social work enters its second century, dynamic developments in practice and theory, the richness offered by multiple cultures and groups, and changing political and economic climates are potent forces driving advances in social work knowledge and practice. In the context of this professional evolution, Foundations of Social Work Practice: A Graduate Text, 3rd Edition wrestles with and builds on these exciting strides forward while maintaining the central emphasis on social justice, the sharing of power in practice, and human rights.

For graduate students, applying the tools of the social work profession effectively means absorbing core knowledge as well as mastering specialized education. The ability to ask insightful questions, understand the complexities of social work practice, and develop intervention strategies based on that knowledge is critical. In this much-anticipated third edition of their landmark textbook, Mattaini, Lowery and Meyer have skillfully collected teachings from some of the profession s most experienced practitioners that will thoroughly prepare graduate students to take on the challenges of the 21st century.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

Presents in-depth chapters that can be designed in a 'mix and match' fashion for flexibility and individuality in course teaching
Integrates specialist skills with foundation knowledge
Underscores the often life-changing effects that social work practitioner-guided decisions have on the lives of clients
