Applied Psychology for Social Work

Knowing theory well is a good idea when one is building frameworks and models, but when a client is staring at you across the table the abstract does relatively little to help. Ingleby (education, U. of Teesside) anticipates that situation by writing this book for social workers in their first years of professional training and focusing on how to apply theory in a way that makes a positive difference in lives. He covers the key theories and schools of therapy, the work of psychology in communication, the various attitudes and beliefs that work together, and the special considerations inherent when clients are children or the aged. He provides self-assessment questions with answers and a significant number of references specifically for social workers and social workers in training. This works as a handbook for reference throughout training as well as a classroom text. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
