This textbook is experiential, giving students considerable opportunities to apply their learning and understanding to actual cases in the classroom where the pros and cons of their ideas can be openly evaluated. The book includes current practice trends and considerations, legal issues, a strong coverage of ethics and ethical behavior and a wide range of case management applications and information on the importance of the ecological model in assessment and planning, giving students a strong introduction to professional basics.
The text gives the basic information a person needs to handle essential case management tasks. Students do not have to be taught by employers how to develop goals and objectives or do an intake. In addition, students learn how systems of social services work in order to serve client needs. Numerous exercises create realistic situations and expose students to an extremely broad range of possible circumstances and difficulties in the field. Participating in classroom discussions about these practice scenarios will simulate discussions that happen every day in case management agencies.
Information on the Recovery Model, including the use of self-determination methods, good peer support and an understanding of the foundations of Motivational Interviewing, better equip students to work with the most current concepts and practices.
Detailed, step-by-step information on how to record impressions and recommendations effectively as well as how to write brief social histories prepares students to produce clear, professionally written communication.
