Social Work Processes

Beulah Compton's respected problem-solving model for social work has long been a standard in the field. Now, Beulah Compton, with co-author Burt Galaway, has updated this comprehensive model to address such timely issues as advocacy, case management, health maintenance organizations, and community work. The book's conceptual framework supports, encourages, and organizes skill development and skill teaching in a diversity of settings and client populations. This Sixth Edition and extensive revision of Social Work Processes offers many new readings and a streamlined organizational structure that makes it easier for readers to navigate through the content.
