Generalist Practice

A basic textbook for social work practice courses at the undergraduate and post-graduate level that provides a generalist and problem-solving orientation. The book seeks to establish a "task-centered" methodology -a structured, short-term, problem-solving approach -applicable across systems at five levels of practice: the individual, the family, the group, organizations, and communities. Each section discusses pretreatment considerations right through to termination. A numbering system helps the reader follow particular topics and checklists, questions for consideration, and practice exercises help students monitor their understanding and skill development.Charles D. Garvin is the author of 'Generalist Practice', published 1994 under ISBN 9780231073509 and ISBN 023107350X.
