Book Synopsis Integrative Clinical Social Work Practice by : F. Diane Barth
Download or read book Integrative Clinical Social Work Practice written by F. Diane Barth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent history the practice of medicine and mental health has been increasingly eclectic as more and more practitioners harness seemingly disparate therapies and techniques to arrive at clinical breakthroughs. But while social work professionals have been involved in integrative practice informally and intuitively for years, resources to bring structure to this therapeutic concept have been few and far between. In response, Integrative Social Work Practice offers innovative ways of conceptualizing cases, communicating with clients and making better therapeutic use of client individuality. Rich in research, evidence-based and clinical material from a variety of settings, the book begins with the basic organizing principles behind effective integrative practice. Real-world examples flesh out the theoretical rationales and psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and developmental methods are shown in practical context. The author also demonstrates how to balance flexibility and boundaries and manage diverse and even conflicting theories, while providing clear guidelines on: Integrating key psychotherapeutic approaches into social work. Using somatic knowledge to enhance therapy. Making assessments and choosing interventions. Applying an integrative approach to therapeutic relationships. Creating manageable goals based on small steps. Building and working with an integrative team. An important step forward in both professional development and the larger therapeutic picture, Integrative Social Work Practice benefits researchers and practitioners as well as supervisors and students in social work and counseling.

Book Synopsis Social Justice in Clinical Practice by : Dawn Belkin Martinez
Download or read book Social Justice in Clinical Practice written by Dawn Belkin Martinez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social work theory and ethics places social justice at its core and recognises that many clients from oppressed and marginalized communities frequently suffer greater forms and degrees of physical and mental illness. However, social justice work has all too often been conceptualized as a macro intervention, separate and distinct from clinical practice. This practical text is designed to help social workers intervene around the impact of socio-political factors with their clients and integrate social justice into their clinical work. Based on past radical traditions, it introduces and applies a liberation health framework which merges clinical and macro work into a singular, unified way of working with individuals, families, and communities. Opening with a chapter on the theory and historical roots of liberation social work practice, each subsequent chapter goes on to look at a particular population group or individual case study, including: LGBT communities Mental health illness Violence Addiction Working with ethnic minorities Health Written by a team of experienced lecturers and practitioners, Social Justice in Clinical Practice provides a clear, focussed, practice-oriented model of clinical social work for both social work practitioners and students.

The second presents ideas for managing diversity within clinical and community settings. The third focuses on social work with diverse populations, including First Nations, Francophones, and immigrants and refugees, and delves into practice concerns related to spirituality and religion, sexual diversity, gender, disability, and aging.

Book Synopsis Clinical Social Work Practice by : Sharon B. Berlin
Download or read book Clinical Social Work Practice written by Sharon B. Berlin and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social workers have been using cognitive methods of intervention for decades. They have borrowed elements of cognitive therapy to augment work undertaken with particular clients and have followed cognitive therapy protocols more completely when client problems seem to call for it. However many uses of cognitive therapy in social work settings require difficult, on-the-spot juggling. In these cases, it is the social worker's job to relate cognitive therapy's internally focused explanations and interventions to the client's particular problems and situations-problems and situations that are inescapably linked to environmental demands and deprivations. Clinical Social Work Practice presents a comprehensive cognitive perspective on social work clinical practice. It is a perspective that bridges an internal focus on how people think about themselves--traditionally, cognitive psychology's realm--with a look outward to consider the kinds of meaning-making options their environments afford. In going beyond the usual cursory acknowledgement of larger environmental influences on personal problems, this book not only offers a framework that is likely to be welcomed by social workers, it will also have strong appeal to a full range of other helping professions who recognize this gap in theories of therapy. The theoretical grounding for this cognitive-integrative approach is drawn from a range of neurological, social, psychological, and social work theories. It is laid out carefully and clearly and balanced with a generous offering of detailed clinical examples and practice guidelines. It is a perfect introduction to cognitive therapy for both social work students in advanced social work practice courses and practicing social work therapists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the book is to enhance the concept of Technique in the teaching and practice of Social Work. Over the years Technique has not been stressed as a part of practice even though the actual practice of Social Work consists of the utilization of techniques in addition to theory and the process of assessment and diagnosis. The book seeks to achieve its goal in four ways. It addresses the way the concept of Tchnique has or has not been used over the years. It addresses the need for a clear definition of technique. It analysis the qualities that Technique should have at this point in our history of clinical practice. It then formulates and presents a definition of technique for our thesis based on this definition. It then presents a brief discussion of 101 Techniques discussed in contemporary literature by discussing each one's place in practice a bit about its history and necessary knowledge skills to use responsibly. It addresses the latter by grouping a level of risk involved in its utilization.

Getting to work with patients/families at the end of their life is the ultimate honor." - Lauren G Markham, MSW, LCSW, APHSW-C "In this work, one witnesses both depths of human suffering and heights of human transcendence that can inspire both awe and fear. At those times, I have found that surrendering my need to be "an expert" and instead, allow myself to simply be a "human" is the wisest action." - Kerry Irish, LCSW, OSW-C, FAOSW"--
