The actions social workers take are aimed at helping people,
communities, and societies attain a sense of mastery, become or
remain competent, and achieve or retain a sense of well-being. Such
a broad scope of practice necessitates a theoretical foundation
that is anchored in the concept of human competence.
This text explores the concept of competence, and shows how it
is expressed in a variety of theoretical frameworks, including
traditional models and emerging theoretical approaches. This
approach toward human behavior focuses on mutually beneficial
interactions between people and society, and emphasizes the
connections between individuals and various systems that influence
their lives. It enables the social worker to conduct multilevel
client assessments, gaining an understanding of how clients
function within their total environment, and plan a range of
helpful interventions.
The volume is organized around the competency-based approach to
social work education, adopted by the Council on Social Work
Education. Written by leading analysts in the field, Competence is
essential reading for the field of social work.
