Techniques and guidelines for social work practice

Many people are influenced, directly and indirectly, by the decisions and actions of social workers. Working in courts, clinics, hospitals, schools, businesses, private practice, and a myriad of social agencies, social workers deliver a wide variety of services directly to clients while they also work toward positive community and social changes. Improving the quality of life for an individual, a family, or the people of a community will ultimately have an impact on the general society and elevate the health, happiness, safety, and productivity of all its members. This book is about what social workers actually do when helping their clients solve problems and/or enhance functioning. Although many books describe the general principles and theories used by social workers, this book focuses on a more concrete level. It describes many of the basic techniques and guidelines that social workers use in everyday practice.
