Social work practice involves working with diverse populations, particularly people in distressing circumstances and those who are disadvantaged or marginalised. Working with children experiencing neglect and abuse, those who encounter domestic violence, or people dealing with family breakdown, mental health, or substance misuse are issues frequently encountered in practice. This necessitates the proficient use of a range of skills, techniques, and strategies of assessment and intervention to alleviate distress, enhance coping, and promote well-being and functioning. This book has been written by academics and practitioners with substantial experience who bring together theoretical frameworks, issues in practice, and focus on what works best with people facing a range of psychosocial problems. The contributors adopt an evidence-based approach that is rooted in practice experience besides drawing from current research and the extant literature.
