Summary:

This expanded third edition of a popular textbook provides a completely revised and updated overview of the theories, models, and therapies that inform direct social work practice. The text promotes a problem-solving model of social work practice as a framework for integrating the eclectic use of theory with the artistic, reflective elements of practice. It provides in-depth coverage of select psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, critical, and postmodern theories, while remaining grounded in generalist social work principles and values. The third edition features a new section on critical theories, where a new chapter on empowerment theory is included with a completely revised chapter on feminist theory. A new chapter on strengths-based social work has been added to the section on metatheories for social work practice. Other new chapters cover emotion-foe used therapy and collaborative therapy. As with previous editions, the book includes editors and contributors from the United States and Canada. New to the Third Edition: A new section on critical theories, New chapters on strengths-based social work, emotion-focused therapy, empowerment theory, and collaborative therapy, Updated research on the debate about the importance of theory/technique versus common (e.g., relationship) factors, and on the critique of the empirically supported treatment movement, Resources for instructors, including an Instructor's Manual and PowerPoint slides Book jacket.
