Description
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.
