Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book outlines a practice model which gives expression to the social work perspective on human problems. It shows what practical steps social workers can take to involve their clients in the struggle for social change. It is an approach which looks first to small, tangible gains that can lay the foundation for an expanded change agenda as clients gain in confidence and experience.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 138-147) and index.
Towards a politically progressive model of case-work practice -- Casework theory -- A psychology of empowerment -- A slight digression: casework with involuntary clients -- Community work theory -- The transition to political activity -- Practical issues in forming an organisation and mounting a campaign -- Putting it together.
