This book highlights the co-creation of the narrative interview and explains how the narrative method can be used to promote competence and wellness, resist oppression, and ultimately liberate clients from their problems. The person-in-environment concept brings together a wide range of personal and societal micro to macro influences that allow practitioners to engage in an effective helping process with diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
The textbook has been written at a time of pronounced sociocultural and historical flux, uncertainty, and civil strife that threaten to disrupt the social fabric of the United States. Consequently, the book augments the resilience-enhancing stress model (RESM) approach to the narrative methodology. Each chapter of the text describes a client or constituency undergoing a life transition and the associated risks (stressors) and protective factors surrounding them. Among the topics covered are:
- Adopting RESM Anti-Oppressive Social Work Strategies: A Micro to Macro Approach
- Co-creating a Narrative: Forming Personal Identity
- Macrolevel Narrative Skills and Techniques
- Proactive Resilience Social Work Practice
- Time, Place, and Resilience
The ultimate purpose of the book is for social workers to develop the ability to enhance clients' and constituencies' optimal resilient social functioning in a just and equitable world that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. Although narrative social work practice is not yet widely applied, the text elucidates how storytelling can break new ground in achieving asset-based, resilience-enhancing social work practice as well as redress social, economic, and political injustice.
Narrative Social Work Practice: A Resilience-Enhancing Anti-Oppressive Approach is the third in a series of texts that defines risk and resilience theory and its offshoot—the RESM. The book is intended primarily for generalists and advanced students as well as practitioners in the social work field.

(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .

(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.

(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us.
