Social Work Practice synthesizes the latest theories and research findings in social work and related fields and demonstrates how this information is used in working with clients. Because the interview is the medium in which much of social work practice takes place, learning the processes and skills to conduct a productive interview is a critical part of social work education.

I really like this book- it gives a lot of practical tips and suggestions for beginning social workers/therapists. I like the focus on practical application and examples versus theory.

This work provides a practical introduction to social work practice in three sections: a framework of core concepts; the process of assisting clients; and conducting interviews. The centrality of the client's personal situation, especially their cultural and familial background, is emphasized. This is a commendable general introduction to social work with a good balance of theory, research and practice.
