Social Work Practice with Families and Children

This book emphasizes family-centered, social network, and school-based interventions in the preparation of social workers for direct and indirect practice with clients from vulnerable populations, especially the poor, people of color, and recent immigrant groups. With an eye to recent changes in social work practice and service delivery, including the impact of welfare reform and managed care on vulnerable families and children, Social Work Practice with Families and Children helps social work students and practitioners understand the increasingly complex needs of their clients. Three valuable appendixes include information about tools and instruments to support practice, child welfare resource centers, and electronic resources pertaining to the field.Author: Tracy, Elizabeth,author,Maluccio, Anthony,author Contributors: Tracy, Elizabeth,author,Maluccio, Anthony,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: illustrated Edition: Illustrated Published/Release Date: 11 Sep 2002 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Columbia University Press Author/Director/Artist: Anthony Maluccio Dimension (cm): 239x155x27 mm Package Dimension (cm): 27x239x155 mm Item Weight (g): 703 Package Weight (g): 694
