Synopsis
This practical text applies the generalist practice model to social work with larger systems including organizations, neighbourhoods, and communities, and emphasizes how macro, micro, and mezzo skills are inter-linked and how they are used in every day practice. The authors clearly define the step-by-step processes for contemplating and initializing macro change in organizations and communities, while integrating issues such as values and ethics, populations-at-risk, social and economic justice, and diverse perspectives.
