Author Description

Social Work Practicum, 5/e, offers a unique integrative format designed to help students develop social work competencies by applying their academic learning to practicum experiences. It covers a variety of topic areas and leads students through guided experiences and workbook questions, helping them gain a professional identity, integrate theory with practice, and acquire the core competencies needed for social work practice. This text is part of the Connecting Core Competencies Series, designed to guide students in becoming skilled at the Council on Social Work's core competencies. Each chapter reflects and integrates the latest CSWE competency standards (EPAS). End-of-chapter assessment reinforces this integration.
