Written by two experienced practice assessors, this Reference Guide is designed to address anxieties that many social work students have about social work theory and how it relates to practice.
This Guide provides a straightforward explanation of the major theories used in social work practice.
Contents include:
Basic concepts (values, power, empowerment, oppression and anti-oppressive practice) equality and diversity; the PCS model; social and medical models; the recovery model; social constructionism; social role valorisation; discourse analysis; feminist perspectives; black perspectives; human development; grief and loss, attachment; identity; learning theory; attribution theory; trans-theoretical model of change; models of assessment; concepts of need; strengths and resilience; risk assessment; counselling theories; CBT; REBT; BSFT; psychodynamics; transactional analysis; the drama triangle; narrative approach; behaviourist theory; group work; advocacy; community work; systems; family group conferencing; crisis intervention; task centred practice; eclecticism.
Each chapter contains questions and exercises to help students explore how the theory can be related to their practice learning experiences and a number of current students and recent graduates have contributed to the guide by exploring how they learnt to make links between theory and practice.
