Excellent Basic Text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I must admit that I have a bias in the other direction. I not only used the textbook in a couple of courses some of those classes were taught by Michael O'Melia or Brenda DuBois. Their explanations of text material went well beyond the "basic" or "generalist". I would suggest that the knowledge of the professor using the text can make a tremendous difference in how the material is presented. "Strengths" and "Empowerment" have become buzz words within the profession. Many are not familiar enough with the academic foundations and philosophy of this approach to do it justice or credit. Having been taught by professors well versed in the approach helped me see/learn the difference between these words being "catch phrases" and the grounded, encompassing method of practice that flows from them.I would recommend this text for any BSW or MSW program. I have even used portions of the text for other 300 and 400 level social sciences courses I teach outside social work profession.
