This text offers an integrative approach to practice with children and families across a variety of settings, rather than focusing on specific subspecialties. By presenting generic practice principles that apply for all settings and agencies, it provides foundation knowledge which should prepare students for practice in settings that employ social workers to work with children and families, such as the public child welfare system, children's mental health agencies and public education systems. The book offers a value-based framework for practice which addresses principles of interviewing children and families, the essentials of assessment, and options for intervention. It is intended for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in social work practice courses on children and families.
