Bradford Schaefer et al.: Social Work Practice Techniques and Guidelines
This is a translation of the 10th edition of *Techniques and Guidelines for Social Work Practice* by Bradford Schaeffer and Charles Horacy, a classic guidebook for successful social work practice. Since the first edition was published in 1988, this book has been consistently revised for 30 years. This revised edition, like the previous ones, reflects changes in the social work field driven by the changing times that demand high professionalism; it adds new content and removes outdated material to clearly pinpoint the essence of social work practice. The unique utility of this book, which presents a balanced blend of universal principles and practical guidelines applicable in the field, shines even brighter. It provides an opportunity for all readers wishing to elevate their level of practice to rediscover the distinctiveness of social work. Part 1, covering "Social Work and Social Workers," examines the background knowledge and characteristics that social workers must know. Part 2, dealing with "Foundation Building for Social Work Practice," emphasizes the necessity for social workers to understand the core characteristics of effective assistance. Part 3 of this book, "Techniques Common to All Social Work Practice," covers common techniques that can enhance the performance of social workers regardless of the type of client—whether individual, family, group, organization, or community—and regardless of the type of agency. Part 4, "Techniques and Guidelines for Each Stage of the Planned Change Process," presents direct or indirect techniques and guidelines for the five phases of the Planned Change Process—intake and engagement, data collection and assessment, planning and contracting, intervention and monitoring, and evaluation and termination—divided into chapters. In particular, it explains the application of direct practice more specifically and clearly by dividing it into the application of direct practice (Section A) and the application of indirect practice (Section B).
