Although EAPs have existed for over 40 years, the assessment of
their value has been fragmented. Contributors to this new
volume--blending practical and academic insights--document
concerns, address the newer issues and developments in the field of
EAPs, and present case examples of actual evaluations. The range
and diversity of topics reflect EAPs in transition, their growth
patterns, evaluation needs, and evaluation methods. Overall, this
important volume emphasizes that successful evaluations depend not
only on methodological expertise but a consideration of much
broader salient and societal issues.
Over the past few decades, as administrative and technological
complexity has increased, so has the role and importance of
administrative practice in social work. For those making the switch
from front-line practice to administration and management there is,
therefore, a real need to prepare and enhance the knowledge base
and skill set necessary at the executive level. In particular, the
importance of budgeting and fiscal management, the need for
accountability, negotiation between different and competing
organizations, along with an understanding of decision-making,
planning, and understanding levels of risk. Written by two
experienced authors within social work education, this practical
workbook presents the interrelated nature of decision-making, and
provides a model for understanding what is required in the
transition from clinician, to clinical and upper level management.
The text covers: The difference between clinical and upper level
management skills The major trends that influence health and human
service organizations An analysis of the concept of leadership The
skills needed by Clinical Managers and Upper Level Managers to
administer effectively. Distinguishing Clinical and Upper Level
Management is a much needed update to the field of management and
administration within human service organizations, and will be
important reading for social work students, social service
professionals, and other human service providers.
