Synopsis

This book offers a new way for teaching social work practice by using a familiar framework (social problems) and incorporating the various roles that social workers assume (e.g., advocate, broker, mediator). This approach enables the reader to really practice generalist social work in an integrative way. (This book follows the guidelines of the Council on Social Work Education.).
