This is a basic textbook for social work practice courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. The approach presented provides a generalist and problem-solving orientation. It comes at an opportune time when both orientations are rapidly gaining adherents in universities. The guide seeks to establish a "task-centred" methodology - a structured, short-term, problem-solving approach - applicable across various systems. The authors outline five levels of practice: the individual, the family, the group, organizations and communities. Each section contains chapters that discuss pretreatment considerations from the initial and middle phases of treatment to termination. A special numbering system helps the reader to follow particular topics throughout the book. Important pedagogical features include checklists, questions for consideration, and practice exercises to help students monitor their understanding and skill development.
