Reclaiming Social Work (RSW) is a radical new system for delivering child and family social work in the UK.

It explains the RSW system of social work ''units'' made up of clinicians and therapists and headed by a consultant social worker, and demonstrates how it has worked in practice. The evidence base and theories underlying the model are also explained. Several chapters are written by consultant social workers with extensive experience of working within RSW, which outline the methodological approaches used. This book on a pioneering new social work model will be of great interest to social work managers, policymakers and academics.

Rather, the issues or needs that our clients present to us, originate and are maintained by the (multiple) systems that they live within. In order to understand the nature of the issue and what we, as practitioners, need to do, (including how we can help), we need to consider and try to understand the complex functioning of these systems around the issue. Designed for busy professionals, this book is packed with reflexive exercises and examples from direct practice in children''s and adult''s social work. You''ll be equipped with a guiding framework and tools to tackle the real-world challenges of modern statutory social work.

Social Work and Evidence-Based Practice - - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Social Work and Evidence-Based Practice - - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Evidence-based practice - what it might mean, how it can be achieved, whether it should be aspired to - is the subject of much debate and argument in social work. Covering areas of social work practice that are well established and those in which evidence is just beginning to become available, the authors address issues such as:* What is to count as evidence, and who decides this?* If relevant evidence is agreed on, how should it be used in practice?* How can the thing that made the difference be identified?* Does success result from the theory employed by the worker, or because the worker is skilled, conscientious and effective?* How predictable, controlled and orderly can social work become?Exploring these issues within a range of contexts - from child abuse and domestic violence to looked after children and disability - the authors demonstrate why evidence-based practice is important, but also why it is important to think clearly and carefully about its implications for the social work profession and the users of social work services. Social Work and Evidence-Based Practice will enable practitioners, managers and policy makers to deepen and coordinate their understanding of the key themes in evidence-based practice.

Music Therapy and Group Work - - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Music Therapy and Group Work - - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The fascinating and diverse descriptions contained in this text begin the process of developing indigenous understandings of music therapy in group work and alert the reader to issues for future exploration. A fascinating text, describing a range of clients - I highly recommend it.''- Nordic Journal of Music TherapyGroup music therapy has been widely practised for many years, especially within institutional settings, and features substantially in training, yet there has been no publication devoted to the discussion of this area of therapy. Music Therapy and Group Work fills this gap by bringing together the experiences of group music therapy practitioners who work with diverse client groups in various settings. Whilst acknowledging that the practice of group music therapy incorporates many theoretical and practical issues in common with those of mainstream group work, the editors emphasize that this field needs to develop some further theoretical discourse of its own, primarily because its main contrast from regular group work is that it draws on a non-verbal medium alongside the ordinary verbal exchange.The book combines clinical examples with theory to provide a comprehensive introduction to group music therapy. Practitioners not only of music therapy, but also those working in related disciplines, will find this to be an informative and stimulating read.

Child Protection Work - Helen Buckley - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Child Protection Work - Helen Buckley - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Based on a qualitative study of child protection practices this book takes a detailed look at what professionals actually ''do'', contrasting the relatively straightforward process illustrated in procedural guidance with the uncertainty of the ''real world'' of child protection work. Having observed case discussions and child protection conferences and interviewed professionals involved in child protection work, Helen Buckley sets out to clarify the factors that influence decision making in this field.Exploring the practice frameworks and sense-making techniques employed by child care professionals she demonstrates the importance of the cultural, political and organisational context in which the work is carried out. The processing of reported child protection concerns is followed from the earliest stages of identification to assessment, conferencing and long-term monitoring. In addition, data from interviews with parents who have been involved in child protection investigations provides a vitally important perspective for professionals.Emphasising that practice is a dynamic process requiring constant reflection and review, this book looks beyond procedural guidelines to help professionals, academics and policy makers involved with child assessment and protection to gain a deeper understanding of their work.
