A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Working with Families presents an innovative model for choosing specific intervention methods that meet the discriminate level of need of a particular family.

While other family practice texts present many different models of family work and many fields of practice, often focused on middle-class, private practice clients (leaving students feeling undecided about which model to use and when), this text provides an integrative model with guidelines for when and how to use different practice methods.

What reviewers are saying…
“A significant strength of this text is its emphasis on practitioners focusing on strengths and resources that families do have, at every level; this provides a beginning point for assessment and intervention. Strengths-based models like this are preferable to deficit models and give the family and therapist a basis for hope rather than despair.”
--Charles Barke, Southwest Missouri State University

“Strengths of this text include the discussion of the needs paradigm along with the accompanying types of interventions, liberal use of case examples and coverage of ethics.”
--Thomas Smith, Florida State University

Présentation de l'éditeur

Working with Families presents an innovative model for choosing specific intervention methods that meet the discriminate level of need of a particular family.

This is one of the few texts that addresses work with families from a social worker's perspective. The text assesses families by their level of need, from the most basic level (needs for food, clothing, and shelter) to more advanced levels (needs for intimacy and self-actualization), and provides students with models for assessment and interventions at each level. While other family practice texts present many different models of family work, often focused on middle-class, private practice clients (leaving students feeling undecided about which model to use and when), this text provides an integrative model with guidelines for when and how to use different practice methods.
