Clinical Social Work Practice: An Integrated Approach

Third Edition

 

By: Marlene Cooper

Joan Granucci Lesser Ph.D. (Private Practice; Smith College)

 

 

Basic Approach

 

This primary text for advanced clinical practice courses at the core of the MSW curriculum, teaches students how to integrate theory and practice on multiple levels. 

 

Building on the foundation of generalist courses, this student-friendly text addresses assessment within a theoretical framework that considers the use of DSM-IV and the mental status exam;

includes a step-by-step walkthrough of a clinical interview and the stages of treatment; and examines various models of treatment.  

 

Features


• A chapter on Multi-cultural practice helps students become culturally sensitive so they can practice more effectively with racially and culturally diverse clients.
• The chapter on key issues has been expanded to includeethical concerns, the realities and complexities of practicing in a managed care environment, workplace safety, suicide, and therapists' self care.
• Updated chapter on Research and Evaluation of Practice  now includes both evidence-based and empirically-based research. 
• A chapter on working with children and adolescents addresses an important clientele in clinical social work practice, and includes three new case examples.
• Chapter on feministtheory has been expanded and re-named Relational theory.
• New content on Neurobiology has been added.
• Updated and new chapter references throughout the text reflect the latest evidence-based research on the effectiveness of various models of treatment. 

 

What the reviewers are saying…

 

“I think the strengths of Clinical Social Work Practice include being thoroughly readable, being logically ordered, and covering a nice variety of theories and approaches (without being exhaustive and exhausting!).     Jill Davis, University of Central Florida

 

“[Clinical Social Work Practice] provides good coverage of topics from a clinical perspective that accords with my own.”      Daniel Coleman, Portland State University
