Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series: Understanding Generalist Practice

by Karen K. Kirst-Ashman, Grafton H. Hull Jr.

Organized around the authors' coherent and cohesive Generalist Intervention Model, this introductory guide to generalist social work practice gives students the knowledge and skills they need to work with individuals and families, as well as the foundation to work with groups, communities, and organizations. Updated to reflect current topics and practice, the book focuses on micro levels of social work practice while also discussing the interrelationship between the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Part of the BROOKS/COLE EMPOWERMENT SERIES, UNDERSTANDING GENERALIST PRACTICE, 7th Edition, clearly identifies content related to the latest Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) with icons throughout the text. New learning objectives, which are correlated to chapter headings and summaries, guide students' reading and reinforce their understanding.

1st read through: 1 star - This was possibly the worst book I had to read. So much redundant information. What is new information needed to be concise and thorough. I feel it lacked both. Disappointing book.

2nd read through: 3 star - More helpful than last read.

Pretty dry and lengthy. There wasn’t really a plot. 😜 I’d suggest reading this book if you need to for a class, but I’d pass for something more fun if that isn’t the case.

Woof... This book was agonizingly long... So much unnecessary and repetitive information. #shrugs
