A solid, theory-to-practice guide to contemporary mezzo and
macro social work
Written by a renowned team of scholars, Social Work Practice
with Groups, Communities, and Organizations focuses on the
contemporary theory and practice of social work. Each chapter
delves deeply into the key theoretical considerations surrounding a
particular practice area, exploring the clinical implications of
each. Spanning the full range of both mezzo and macro practice
areas, the authors thoroughly look at the assessment of and
interventions with group, community, organizational, and
institutional settings.
The most authoritative book in this field, Social Work
Practice with Groups, Communities, and Organizations
features:
* A focus on evidence-based approaches to assessment and
intervention for each practice area discussed
* Comprehensive coverage of the most important new and emerging
practice technologies in mezzo and macro social work
* Current and emerging demographic, social, political, and
economic trends affecting mezzo and macro practice
* An array of pedagogical aids, including Key Terms, Review
Questions for Critical Thinking, and Online Resources
* Content closely aligned with social work accreditation
standards (EPAS)
Providing a solid review of the entire scope of contemporary
mezzo and macro social work practice, Social Work Practice with
Groups, Communities, and Organizations is both an indispensable
educational text for students and a valuable working resource for
practitioners who work with groups, communities, and organizations
of all sizes.
