Synopsis

Case managers provide an indispensable service, acting as both experts and liaisons to the wide variety of services, resources, and opportunities available to their clients. The authors use their extensive practice, classroom, and research experience to delineate clearly the steps of the case management process and to address the myriad roles case managers fill in different practice situations. By detailing the various processes and goals of case management and the different populations they help, the authors present a resource that is invaluable not only to social workers, but also to case managers in nursing centres, community mental health facilities, and criminal justice centres. The third edition of this essential and accessible book is updated to reflect the constantly changing nature of the helping professions. New and updated references provide readers with an array of options for pursuing specific aspects of case management. The book is attentive to the evolving needs of a variety of populations, and it now contains a new section on working with members of the military and their families. This edition also contains new information on case management within larger organisations that provide mental health services. Features: Working with members of the military, veterans, and their families. Addressing the necessity of accurate record keeping and accountability. Conducting case management within programs that offer broader mental health services. Updated references for pursuing specific aspects of case management. Practice-oriented chapters include exercises for teachers and trainers.
