Understanding Generalist Practice with Infotrac - Tapa dura

"The book by Kirst-Ashman/Hull, UNDERSTANDING GENERALIST PRACTICE, has been a valuable assistance in the teaching of generalist practice skills, and the new edition continues to improve...The emphasis on critical thinking skills is SO important along with the curriculum development in line with CSWE's guidelines. The author is clearly a practicing social worker who draws from live, current experience in providing examples and a sound practice base in presenting strategy. Hats off to Kirst-Ashman/Hull for enhancing and providing a good text in a field where 'the rubber meets the road.' Throughout, the focus is practical, pointed, and easily applied by the beginner."

Organized around the authors' coherent and cohesive Generalist Intervention Model, this introductory guide to generalist social work practice provides students with the knowledge and skills they will need to work with individuals and families and the foundation knowledge from a generalist perspective to work with groups, communities, and organizations. It explores the links between micro, mezzo, and macro levels of social work practice and reflects the latest EPAS standards with empowerment and strengths perspectives for partnering with clients.
