Learn to integrate theory and practice on multiple levels.

Developed from the authors' experiences as practitioners and clinical faculty, Clinical Social Work Practice provides a method for integrating clinical theories and practice with diverse clients. This student-friendly book addresses assessment within a theoretical framework that considers the use of DSM-V and the mental status exam. Richly diverse case studies, drawn from practice experience, are integrated throughout and show how theory is applied to work with individuals, families, groups, and children and adolescents. To better help you understand the field, the authors' clinical social work is presented authentically, describing both successes as well as their mistakes.

The 6th Edition includes a new chapter on the theoretical base for clinical social work practice, a revised chapter on trauma theory, a new chapter on special issues in clinical practice, new content on neuroscience, and more.
