Description



About the Book



In this clear and systematic book covering the both general practice concepts and theoretical insights, best-selling author Malcolm Payne shows you how to work with the main social work theories and practice techniques and pinpoint their strengths and limitations.



Book Synopsis



Social work theory is full of ideas about how to practise. It guides you in what to do as well as how to approach and think about social work goals.

In this clear and systematic book covering both general practice concepts and theoretical insights, best-selling author Malcolm Payne shows you how to work with the main theories and practice techniques and pinpoint their strengths and limitations.

This book:

- Explores the social work process from first to last contact;

- Covers all the theories and methods you need to know as a practitioner;

- Examines practice techniques and the ideas that inform them;

- Includes helpful chapter-by-chapter infographics.

This practical guide condenses the practical features of social work theory but doesn't oversimplify them. Students and practitioners can confidently put their knowledge into action and see how everyday practice implements theoretical ideas. It will be an invaluable resource to students and newly qualified practitioners in social work and in related fields of practice, making connections with both classic and contemporary movements in social work.



Review Quotes




"Really good informative book to introduce the concept of theoretical frameworks to social work students." Julie Smiles, University of Sunderland

"This book is justifiably likely to be widely used in both social work education and practice and is highly recommended reading." The Irish Social Worker

"This is another excellent textbook from, arguably, the leading social work theorist in the UK. The presentation of current debates in social work theory as well as graphical representations makes it clear and accessible." Lesley Deacon, University of Sunderland

"With this book in hand, social work students and professionals have the best guide I have ever seen to explore and to apply social work theories." Hans van Ewijk, University of Humanistic Studies, Utrecht
