The Critical Publishing Team
Social Work is all about relationships
In our first ever social work newsletter we would like to give you
some exclusive access to one of our most popular books.
Claudia Megele's
'Psychosocial and Relationship-based Practice' was released earlier this year and since then has been praised for its refreshing and revolutionary approach to practice and theory.
In this book Claudia Megele offers a critical interdisciplinary analysis of case studies of social work interventions from a psychosocial and relationship-based perspective. The text's aim is to highlight the difficulties and complexities of everyday practice and offer evidence-informed approaches.
Key Points
- Offers a narrativised and natural approach to learning
- People's lives are driven by narratives not theories therefore the book traces real life narratives.
- Allows the reader to reflect on self and own practice to uncover deeper learning, significance and growth.
- Aims to reclaim social work's relationship-based and therapeutic foundations.
- Fully referenced and indexed
- Excellent value for money
What David Shemmings OBE, had to say...
"This book presents a comprehensive and intellectually sophisticated exploration of the emotional contours between social workers and service users.
Claudia Megele spells out more precisely than before the dynamics of these relationships, and how they might be transformative.
This is the perfect text to inspire social workers and supervisors wanting to replace bureaucratic and procedurally led practice with more humane and creative ways of thinking."
