"Her book takes us on a journey back to the basics of conducting a
thorough and informative social history and is an account of what a
real social history involves...I recommend this book not only for
the novice but also for all clinicians who want an edge on how to
accumulate more pertinent information concerning their patients and
to guide their treatment." -PSYCCRITIQUES "...what impresses me
about this text is that Andrews uses her love of social history to
take a subject that is rarely celebrated and remind us of what is
exciting about it." -FAMILIES IN SOCIETY In the mental health and
human service professions, taking a social history assessment marks
the start of most therapeutic interventions. Social History
Assessment is the first resource to offer practical guidance about
interpreting the social history. Author Arlene Bowers Andrews
provides rich resources to assist helping professionals as they
gather and-most importantly-interpret information about social
relationships in the lives of individuals. Key Features: Focuses on
interpreting and making meaning of the social history: Humans are
complex creatures. Their biology, psychology, and social relations
affect their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and sensations. This
book particularly addresses the personal social history, that is,
the interpersonal relationships that have influenced the
development of the person during the life course. Offers
comprehensive guidance on composing a social history: In addition
to numerous case examples and a variety of helpful tools such as
genograms and ecomaps, the chapters cover ethical issues, core
theories of human behavior in the social environment, tips for
comprehensively gathering information about and describing the
social history, and guidance regarding interpreting the history.
Reaches a multidisciplinary audience: Whether the professional
comes from social work, psychology, counseling, psychiatry,
nursing, or another health or human service discipline, exploring
the client's origins helps build rapport and lays the foundation
for mutual client-professional assessment. This book offers a
common understanding across disciplines of what constitutes an
informative social history, with theoretically grounded
interpretation, to benefit multidisciplinary teamwork and the
client. Intended Audience: This is an ideal supplemental text for a
variety of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Social
Work Practice, Direct Practice, Interviewing, Human Behavior in the
Social Environment, Family Studies, Education (counseling),
Psychology (counseling and clinical), and Nursing. It is also an
excellent resource for Social Workers, Counselors, and
Psychologists.
