Book Description

By delineating discrete, practical skills and providing both skill-development exercises and modeled responses adapted from actual clinical situations, Hepworth and Larsen prepare students effectively for delivering social work services to individuals, couples, families, and other groups. Written from an eclectic perspective, the authors integrate knowledge and skills from diverse practice models within an ecological systems framework, emphasizing those models that are empirically grounded and focusing on the multiple roles involved in both generalist and direct practice.
