Advanced Generalist Social Work Practice

"This book introduces an inclusive paradigm of social work practice based on an integration of new practice theories and traditional models. David S. Derezotes presents a unique way of conceptualizing and understanding practice issues. His approach draws on theories and research influenced by postmodernism and revisionist psychology. Within these pages, he touches on a wide range of topics: sensitivity to clients, the many different types of intervention, how clients can be viewed as equal partners with social workers, and professional development. This volume also offers experiential exercises and explores the place of spirituality and religion in social work."--BOOK JACKET.
