This wide-ranging collection of essays offers valuable insights
into the cultural issues involved in the practical application of
social work theories. Leading contributors explore the challenges
faced by indigenous populations and ethnic minority groups,
examining how they can gain control over their position as minority
populations, and offering valuable guidance on cross-cultural work.
The direct implementation of four established theoretical
approaches - ecological systems, community development,
strengths-based approaches and attachment theories - is shown in a
variety of contexts, including mental health care, trauma
counselling and child protection. Using community development work
in Australia and New Zealand as a case study, the contributors also
advocate using these approaches in work with migrants and refugees.
Social Work Theories in Action recognizes the importance of drawing
on the strengths of families, individuals and communities and
offers theoretical perspectives that can be applied in everyday
work situations. It is essential reading for social and community
workers, mental health professionals and social work students.
Contextual Coaching represents a coaching methodology whereby the
Coach adapts the style of the coaching conversation to the
Performance Level of the Coachee in order to improve learning,
motivation, and ultimately business results. It is a dynamic
interactive process that integrates core coaching skills, the
Coachee's level of ability in a certain task or context, and
different styles of coaching conversation, as described by the
Berens' Interaction Styles framework. The audience for this
approach is internal managers, mentors and external coaches.
This comprehensive and much-needed resource is for professionals

justice work * social work teaching and learning. The client groups
they cover include children, older people, individuals with
learning disabilities, and ethnic minority and indigenous groups.
