A lifespan approach presenting evidence-informed
interventions for working with individuals and families
Social Work Practice with Individuals and Families covers
assessment of and intervention with children, adolescents, adults,
the elderly, and families. It offers an array of pedagogical
features within each chapter, as well as online resources and
review questions at the conclusion of each chapter to help guide
critical thinking about topics.
Reflecting the current state of evidence-informed social work
practice, each chapter’s contributors emphasize the incorporation
of wider forms of systematically collected data such as case
studies, best or promising practices, and consumer-focused data.
Reading this book will not only give readers the tools to work
effectively with individuals and families, but also develop their
skills in evidence informed practice.
Comprehensive and insightful, Social Work Practice with
Individuals and Families is a student- and
practitioner-friendly text identifying the best assessment tools
and strategies available for social workers to successfully serve
individuals and families facing a broad range of challenges.
