From the Back Cover

ESTABLISH AN EVIDENCE-BASED AWARENESS OF HOW THE MOST USEFUL THEORIES INFORM PRACTICE

Responding with sensitivity to clients' individual situations requires an understanding of why we do the things we do in the helping professions. To this end, Applying Theory to Generalist Social Work Practice is a new kind of social work text. Instead of encouraging the rote memorization of processes and routines, this book encourages critical thinking: focusing on how the most common theoretical approaches can lead to better outcomes.

Accomplished social work educators Carol L. Langer and Cynthia Lietz, emphasize an evidence-based practice paradigm that is fully aligned with the Council on Social Work Education's 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards. Students will appreciate the real world accounts and illuminating case studies that bring essential theoretical orientations to life.

Applying Theory to Generalist Social Work Practice features:

  • Detailed examples from individual, family, group, and institutional social work practice
  • Engaging first-person narratives written by accomplished social work practitioners
  • Critical thinking and application questions to activate new knowledge
  • Balanced accounts of the strengths and weaknesses of 12 major social work theories
  • Thorough discussions of evidence-based practice throughout all chapters

This book trains aspiring social workers to make best use of their knowledge in helping clients reach their destinations.
