Book cover for Modern social work theory
Description
Offers a review of social work theories in and of themselves as well as the larger constellation of ideas in which the theories exist. Although there are many competing theories of practice, the author claims that good social work practice is based on seven theoretical principles. The varying importance given to each of these principles, he concludes, reflects the political and economic forces that set the modern agenda for social work. Theoretical practices that are covered include psychodynamic models, cognitive-behavioral theories, systems and ecological perspectives, anti-discriminatory perspectives, and empowerment and advocacy.
