More copies of this ISBN:Strengths-Based Generalist Practice: A Collaborative Approachby John E Poulin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This introductory text presents a model of generalist practice that emphasizes core practice skills, building trust in the helping relationship, and the empowerment of disadvantaged client populations. The book integrates empirical practice methods with a strengths-based approach to micro and macro generalist practice. Written in straightforward language and relatively free of jargon, the book incorporates case examples throughout. Each of the special populations chapters is written and contributed by experts in the area covered. Book News Annotation:Poulin (Widener U.) and collaborators present an approach to social
work practice that is generalist because the practitioner works at
different client system levels (individual, family, group,
organization, and community) and is "strengths-based" because it
focuses on clients abilities rather than being focused on perceived
deficits and pathological problems. After presenting the model, with
its theoretical and practical principles, chapters describe
assessment tools and the different phases of interventions. Later
chapters look at generalist practice with special populations. This
is a revised edition second edition of a work originally titled
Collaborative Social Work.
