Understanding how theory informs social work practice is an area that students can find challenging and complex. This book helps students to understand how theory impacts and informs social work practice. Updated with a new introduction by the author, subjects covered include values and ethics, organisational contexts and putting theory into practice. There is a chapter on the relationship between theory and practice in social work which examines notions of empowerment and concepts of social exclusion and the distinctive role of the social work practitioner. Critical thinking exercises are built into the text to aid learning and reflective thinking.

Reid, James

Understanding how theory informs social work practice is a key requirement of the social work degree, yet it is an area students find difficult to understand and demonstrate. Written in an accessible style, this book introduces theory as an explanatory framework that is drawn upon by social workers to inform their decision-making process, and helps to 'make sense' of what is going on. The book uses the key skills of critical thinking and reflection to guide the reader in thinking about the formal and informal knowledge sources drawn upon to guide practice and to help evaluate validity.
