Integrates theory and practice on multiple levels.

Developed from the authors' experiences as practitioners and clinical faculty, Clinical Social Work Practice, 5th Edition provides students with 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 students understand the field, the authors' clinical social work is presented authentically, describing both successes as well as their mistakes.

For courses in Social Work/Practice with Individuals.
