All social work students study theory and undertake practice
placements. Integrating the two -- so that each informs the other
-- is both essential and notoriously tricky. This accessible book
demystifies the process and offers helpful evidence-based
strategies for doing it successfully. Using illustrative case
studies throughout, the text is structured around different
approaches to learning. It covers: * the nature of theory * how we
learn and the impact of existing knowledge * how to locate and
identify theory * how to critically analyse theory * key
theoretical concepts in social science * theories of
anti-oppressive practice * theories of social work themes such as
partnership, intervention and advocacy * using theory in academic
work and on placements. This essential text helps students to
identify, critically analyse and apply theory appropriately,
enhancing their practice. It will be useful to all social work
students struggling with the theory-practice gap.
