Get Ahead with Empowerment Series: Direct Social Work Practice: Theory and Skills

Balancing Theory While Improving Your Communication Skills

Extremely practical and relevant, this text balances theory with an emphasis on improving and refining your assessment, helping, and communication skills. It begins by identifying the mission of social work, its values, and knowledge base. The authors then differentiate generalist from direct practice and explore roles of direct practitioners. Common elements among diverse theorists are examined next, followed by key intervention strategies and information about various client population and practice settings.

Packed with Examples and Case Studies

The text is packed with examples and case studies, many of which are drawn from social work practitioners as well as the authors' own practice situations. Diversity content is integrated throughout, with cases exemplifying diversity in multiple forms. Specific guides to assessing problems -- such as potential for suicide -- and full examples of written assessments help you practice and improve your skills. Skill development exercises give you plenty of practice putting chapter concepts into action.

Helping You Put New Skills into Context

Video demonstrations, available through MindTap, offer detailed illustrations of important skills and practices described in the book. References to the videos throughout the text help you put each new skill into context. The video clips also allow you to model appropriate behavior without the pressures of facing a client.

    I’m a 1st year MSW student and this is a very valuable resource for me already. I’m glad I bought my own copy because I will definitely be referring to it when I do my field placements.

    It has very detailed information on practice skills and how to perform talk therapy (again, the emphasis is on skills, not specific evidence based practices).

    It is generalist in focus—as is my MSW program so this orientation fit with my program’s.

    5.0 out of 5 stars BUY & not rent this book if you’re a SW major
    Reviewed in the United States on 30 July 2021
    Verified Purchase
    So I rented this for my SW Practice I class and well I ended up having to rent it AGAIN for my SW Practice II class. I should have bought the book. Especially because it has great info to study for the licensing exam. I’m going to end up buying this book even though I have the rental now. It’s sucks that I wasted so much money renting rather than buying. I HIGHLY suggest for you to buy this book if you are a social work major.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Worth buying instead of renting!!

    I originally rented this book for an Undergrad Social Work class, in the middle of my first semester, I ended up finding it brand new to purchase for even less than I paid to rent it! I am now in Grad School and was required to use the book again and I continuously use it as a reference and source for writing papers. Definitely worth purchasing rather than renting if you are a Social Work student!
