More Than Just Common Sense.

A thorough introduction to the core practice skills needed by social work and welfare professionals.

Human service workers need more than just common sense. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to practice skills required across the human service sector.

The authors use critical analysis to systematically outline the key stages of interaction with clients: engagement, assessment, intervention and evaluation. Drawing on a strengths approach, they examine the skills needed for working with different types of clients: individuals, families and community groups. They also explore the dilemmas faced in daily practice, including the challenges of working with involuntary clients, clients from different cultural backgrounds, and clients in crisis situations.

The book provides a model of integrated practice which incorporates the key components of ideology, theory, phase, skill and context. Detailed case studies demonstrate how welfare services can be delivered in different contexts.

Written by experienced teachers and practitioners from Australia and New Zealand, the book is a practical and user friendly text for students and reference for practitioners.
