| Description: |
Series Description:Recent changes in the training and requirements of social workers and allied professionals have prompted the need for a set of textbooks to address issues of knowledge, skills and practice as well as contemporary social debates. New Directions in Social Work is designed to cater for students' academic and professional needs, and, in the context of new course guidelines, will address specific areas of practice such as working with offenders; social problems and social policy; children and young people; families; people with special needs; and working within the community. |
| Synopsis: |
`[A]ims to clarify how competent practice emerges from the integration of knowledge, values and skills.... It includes fairly detailed discussion of core values, knowledge and skills, devoting a chapter to each and going on to make links with particular areas of work. Thoughtful cross referencing between contributors and extensive reference to research and other relevant literature promotes appreciation that competent practice requires integration' - Child and Family Social WorkThis original textbook provides an invaluable introduction to the required core knowledge, values and skills in social work today. Within the context of critical debate about knowledge, values and skills, a highly respected team of contributors focus their attention on three key areas: social work with children and families; community care and social work with adults; and probation and social work with offenders.One of the most important and innovative features of the text is that it offers a practical tool for readers to identify and monitor competences. Knowledge, values and skills are integrated to produce a set of competences, the main components of which are then shown in practice as problem-solving devices against which readers can evaluate their own understanding of competent and effective practice. |
