Overview

Generalist Social Work provides a foundation for understanding empowerment-oriented generalist social work. It frames a progressive approach that is grounded in social work research. The approach is also sensitive to client diversity. The text details specific strategies and solution-oriented processes for generalist social workers. These strategies guide clients through the phases of dialogue, discovery, and development.

The 9th Edition incorporates contemporary trends in social work. The trends include expanded coverage of the biological influences on behavior and trauma-informed practice. The text helps you construct an empowering helping relationship. New case scenarios allow you to apply your knowledge to realistic situations.
