This new and fully updated edition of the best-selling theories text for social workers introduces social work students and practitioners to a wide variety of theories for direct social work practice. Rooted in the generalist-eclectic approach to social work practice, its contents are explored through a problem-solving model facilitating the integration of the artistic and scientific elements of practice. Completely updated and reorganized to encompass the latest theories as applied to a generalist mental health practice, the fourth edition brings a fresh perspective with the addition of two new lead editors.
