With this engaging new book, authors Locke, Garrison, and Winship successfully address these different perspectives and provide a well-rounded examination of generalist social work practice. Their strengths-oriented Phase Model--a four-phased approach to planned change--encourages the"telling of the story." The book's subtitle reveals its central Context refers to place of practice; story symbolizes life's journey and its unfolding; and Partnerships represents the collaborative, mutual nature of generalist social work practice. Students will appreciate the authors' warm, straightforward style of communication and the sharing of personal experiences--all of which make this an enjoyable and effective book.
