Description: "Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this comprehensive text spells out the basics of social work practice with children and provides the specialized knowledge that students and practitioners need for helping young clients face a variety of difficult life situations. Updated and extensively rewritten to reflect current theory and practice in the field, the second edition offers expanded coverage of risk and resilience factors in assessment, goal setting, and tracking progress. Particularly useful features include in-depth case examples, tables and charts, discussion questions, role-play exercises, and several reproducible assessment forms."--Jacket.
