'For many readers, especially trainers and educationalists, the
thoroughness of this book is likely to be attractive. The added
advantage of O'Connor et al's book is that it covers social work
for both adults and children. [This book] is likely to appear on
many social work reading lists. [It has] the potential to provide
good learning opportunities for post-qualifying as well as
pre-qualifying training' - Health and Social Care in the Community
`A useful framework for practice to accompany undergraduate
learning, and also the post-qualifying consolidation of social work
knowledge, theory, and skills' - Dr Patricia Higham This lively and
engaging textbook is an adaptation of the bestselling introductory
social work book available in Australia. This edition has been
thoroughly revised to reflect wider changes that have characterized
social work training and practice in recent years. It offers the
reader an essential grounding in the core knowledge, values and
skills needed for successful completion of their degree. Key
features of the book include: - Comprehensive content - includes
discussion of theoretical perspectives, policy; assessment;
intervention, the ethics and values framework; and
practice-learning. - A student-friendly approach - includes
case-studies, chapter summaries, further reading sections, and
discussion questions. - A multi-professional perspective -
recognises the experiences of all those working across the field of
social care and incorporates service-user's voices. -
Practice-oriented - offers specific guidance to overcome challenges
and provides an effective framework for practice. This
authoritative textbook will be an essential guide to the challenges
and concepts underpinning social work practice. It offers a flavour
of what social work entails and engages with recent debates about
the nature of practice. It will be an invaluable text for social
work trainees, and will also be useful reading for post-qualifying
students and practitioners.
