Synopsis

The concept of resiliency-based practice is an important idea in social work, but the practical uses and applications of resiliency are often unclear. In this book, Mary Van Hook connects resiliency with family practice, specifically explaining how to apply the theory of resiliency in general to a variety of treatment models. The result is a strengths-based, resiliency-based practice model that guides the process of assessment, engagement, and intervention in social work with families.
