Charles Zastrow - a leader in the field for over forty years - combines the key components of traditional and contemporary approaches to teaching social work practice into one comprehensive volume in the twelfth edition of this classic text. Generalist Social Work Practice presents the knowledge, values, and skills needed for entry-level social work practice with individuals, groups, families, organizations, and communities. The text describes a variety of approaches to social work practice including assessment, intervention, and evaluation. A large number of skill building exercises are included so that readers can practice applying theoretical concepts. This book provides the theoretical and practical knowledge needed for students to become change agents.
The text also includes case studies, collaborative learning exercises, and critical thinking questions to help students apply concepts to practice.
The fourth edition of The Practice of Generalist Social Work continues to teach students to apply micro, macro, and mezzo social work skills.
