Suitable for a generalist approach this book illustrates the value of applying theory to practice in a variety of social work roles across diverse fields and facing assorted challenges. The first section provides a practical foundation for beginning to use theory in your social work practice. Section two looks at how you can translate and integrate fourteen theories commonly found in social work across each phase of the planned change process. The theories discussed are: behavioural interpretive anthropology psychodynamic evolutionary biology cognitive symbolic interactionism strengths social constructionism exchange economics role ecological critical feminist and systems theory.
