About this book
Understanding Generalist Practice 7th edition by Karen K. Kirst-Ashman and Grafton H. Hull Jr. introduces the knowledge and skills used in generalist social work practice through the Generalist Intervention Model. The book shows how social workers move through engagement, assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, termination, and follow up while considering client strengths, environmental influences, professional values, and ethical responsibilities.
The 7th edition examines social work with individuals and families while also establishing the foundations needed for work with groups, organizations, and communities. Topics include interviewing, relationship building, assessment of client systems, goal development, intervention planning, case management, crisis intervention, evaluation of practice, ethical decision making, cultural competence, empowerment, advocacy, and the connections among micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice.
The book is designed primarily for students learning beginning generalist social work practice and for courses that prepare students to apply social work concepts in field settings. Its emphasis on the Generalist Intervention Model helps students organize client information, identify strengths and problems, establish measurable goals, select interventions, evaluate outcomes, and understand how work with an individual or family can be influenced by organizations, communities, and broader social systems.
Bachelor of Social Work students, undergraduate social work students, practicum students, and students in generalist practice courses can use this edition to prepare for interviews, case assessments, intervention plans, field assignments, and examinations involving social work practice processes. The complete 7th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, making it convenient for coursework, field education preparation, case analysis, and review of generalist social work methods.
