'This book heralds an exciting new chapter in the history of
family-centred practice. It takes us a long way down the road
toward the destination of strength-based family work.'From the
foreword by Associate Professor Dorothy Scott, University of
MelbourneLife can be a struggle for some families, and support from
skilled family workers can make a real difference. Promoting Family
Change is a guide to working with vulnerable and marginalised
families outside formal therapy settings.Promoting Family Change
introduces several approaches to family work which have proven to
be very successful: solution-focused, narrative, cognitive, and
community-building. These approaches assume that the starting point
for change is the strengths and capacities of family members. The
book is illustrated with detailed case studies drawn from actual
practice, and it includes examples of innovative programs. It also
looks at ways in which workers can incorporate these approaches
into their practice to become more effective in their interventions
with vulnerable families. Promoting Family Change is a good
introduction to family practice for students and a valuable
reference for welfare and community workers who wish to review and
improve their practice skills. Bronwen Elliott is a social worker
with wide experience in working with families and consults with a
range of agencies to improve their services. Louise Mulroney has
worked for the last twenty years in the field of child and family
welfare, particularly in the areas of training and policy
development. Di O'Neil is Director of Special Projects and Training
for St Luke's Family Care in Bendigo, and co-author of Beyond Child
Rescue.
