Generalist Social Work Practice with Families

Generalist Social Work Practice with Families Stephen J. Yanca Louise C. Johnson Basic Approach This text provides a comprehensive approach to generalist practice with diverse families. It uses an ecosystems and strengths-based approach to the change process. It also provides exceptional coverage of working with diverse families, including many case examples. Features of This Text *The book uses the solid, proven Johnson/Yanca model for generalist practice and applies it to working with families as a system. *Part One introduces the student to the history of generalist practice with families and develops the concept of family ecosystems. *In Part Two, the generalist model is applied to working with the family as a system, including a schema for developing a family social history and an extended case example of an intervention with a Hispanic family, progressing from assessment through termination. *In Part Three, the Generalist model is applied to family subsystems and describes working with couples, parents, parent-child subsystems, and sibling subsystems across the lifespan.* Throughout the text and specifically in Chapter 3, Diversity Competent Practice with Families, gender competent practice and a schema for understanding ethnically diverse families are explained. *Numerous case examples throughout put practice into a real life context for students. ** MyHelpingLab Advertisement **
