Casework, a psychosocial therapy
This eminently practical text lays out the psychosocial approach to casework with crystal clarity. It probes the treatment of psychological, interpersonal, and social problems, making it ideal for courses in clinical practice and casework. Chapter 2 discusses the psychosocial approach and the personality theory on which it operates. Treatment procedures and techniques are classified and analyzed in Chapters 4-9. And actual case examples are used throughout to illustrate a variety of client populations. The Fourth Edition has been thoroughly updated with new chapters on couple treatment, crisis intervention, and termination. There is also new material on systems concepts, client-worker relationships, clinical diagnosis, and unconscious phenomena.
