商品簡介
Skills lie at the heart of all actions of a social worker, and inform all aspects of practice – from drawing on vital theoretical and ethical frameworks to applying the law and research findings to particular situations.
This user-friendly and logically organised book brings together the key skills needed for practice in one place. It reflects current practice frameworks and addresses a wide range of skills including communication and relationship building, professional writing, ethical practice, assessment and reflection.
Each chapter incorporates a number of features to help with learning and practical application, including:
• Case studies to demonstrate how particular concepts apply to social work practice
• Reflective exercises to help readers relate concepts and situations to their own experiences on placement and in the classroom
• Progress checks to help students make connections between the Professional Capability Framework, the Standards of Proficiency and the wider skills they need to acquire
• Chapter summaries to draw out key themes
This engaging and practical book is essential for students studying social work or health and social care. It is also a critical tool for practitioners looking to enhance their skills in social work practice.
