Interesting manual with practical value and good theoretical base.
This is on my essential list as it provides a good overview along with a couple of other key text.
I find this book presents a clear overview of main approaches used to intervene.\A few points I suggest are:\Typing error on Contents page i.e. Chapter 2 Pearson - centred needs to be Person - centred.\I find the introduction in Chapter 6 on Cognitive behavioural approaches rather confusing. I find it helpful to explain that behaviour modification came historically first; give an account of this and then explain behavioural approaches have subsequently been combined with cognitive approaches to become CBT.\
I had the previous version on loan from our library most of last year and am pleased the book has been revised to include the professional capabilities framework.
Key text for theories and methods of intervention. Recommended as core text locally in Northern Ireland
Great book which introduces the notions of intervention and managing social work with service users.\Students find this an accessible resource which covers the key areas.
This book gives a good and highly readable overview of a range of social work interventions. Following a case study related to one family the book uses an accessible format in order to explain the relevance of the varied methods under discussion at different parts of the social work process. The chapters written by the editor himself are perhaps its strongest with the overview of pyschosocial approaches and the argument for eclectic models well thought out.
Clear and concise in outlining intervention methodology. Recommended reading for next academic year statutory interventions.
A very useful text for 'Theories and Methods' work. Suggested activities are particularly helpful, and practical in the Motivational Interviewing and SFBT chapters.
Valuable text for first year SW degree students especially on Preparation for Practice studies.
A very welcome addition to developing students understanding around social work intervention.
