| Summary |
"The book shows how the social work approach to casework necessitates the use of quite distinctive methods - methods which seek to liberate clients from resignation and encourage them to look outwards for social solutions to what may initially appear to be purely private troubles. As time goes by the focus of intervention shifts from individual clients to organised client groups capable of mounting well-planned campaigns for policy change and reform. This is a practice guide book and the emphasis is on the practial steps required to translate the model into action." - back cover |
