An applied, experiential introduction for the development of generalist practice skills in the helping professions

Designed to help students in social work and human services programs establish a solid skill foundation for professional practice, Developing Practice Competencies holistically organizes this content knowledge through a consistent framework integrated throughout the book.

Developing Practice Competencies explores:

  • How to build on current interpersonal skills to develop a professional identity and a specialized repertoire of intervention skills
  • How to work competently with diverse client groups taking into account the cultural and social contexts of each client situation
  • Ways to engage individuals and larger client systems in focused work toward client-specific goals
  • Successfully managing the nuances and challenges of the helping relationship
  • Combining specific skills for use in evidence-based models

Filled with rich examples, role-plays, and exercises, Developing Practice Competencies covers the foundation competencies necessary for students preparing to work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities on behalf of underserved and socially compromised people.

An accompanying DVD offers video of the practice skills in action and electronic versions of exercises for classroom discussions.
