Description: Social Work with Children and Their Families by Christopher G. Petr Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An extensively revised version of the first edition, this text focuses on the practical foundational knowledge required to practice social work effectively in the complex and fast-changing world of services to children and their families. The core organizing framework consists of eightpragmatic perspectives: combating adultcentrism, family-centered practice, the strengths perspective, respect for diversity and difference, the least restrictive alternative, ecological perspective, organization and financing, and achieving outcomes. Unlike most texts that focus either on directpractice or on policy, Petr's revised volume integrates current policy-including recent reform efforts-with "best practices."

Packed with case studies, specific practice instruction, chapter summaries, and suggested learning activities,this book prepares students and practitioners to think and act professionally in ways that are consistent with current laws, values, policies, and reformefforts in the field.
