Generalist Case Management: A Method of Human Service Delivery

This practical text equips students with the fundamental information and skills needed to be effective case managers, covering such central issues as the responsibilities of case management, competencies needed for ethical and multicultural case management, participation in interdisciplinary and interorganizational teams, and engagement in advocacy and leadership. The first-person experience of a client and her case managers draws students into the text. To ensure that the book offers current and accurate information, the authors have continued to interview human service case managers nationwide about their jobs, skills, challenges, and clients. These interviews, combined with current research and numerous case studies, make GENERALIST CASE MANAGEMENT: A METHOD OF HUMAN SERVICE DELIVERY, 5th Edition, realistic and relevant. The text also aligns with NASW case management standards and helps to prepare students for earning C-SWMC certification and the HS-BCP credential.
