How to be a Social Worker A Critical Guide for Students

Social Work Practice 5th edition Veronica Coulshed, Head of Applied Social Studies, University of Sunderland, UK (deceased) and Joan Orme, Emeritus Professor of Social Work, Glasgow School of Social Work, UK

Priscilla Dunk-West, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of South Australia, Australia

‘There are many introductory textbooks available in social work, but How to be a Social Worker is unique...It deserves to be an instant bestseller.’ - Harry Ferguson, Professor of Social Work, University of Nottingham, UK Through the course of studying social work and beyond it can be difficult to take a step back and reflect upon what it is to be a social worker, such are the demands of the process of qualification and the role itself. Using this as a starting point, How to be a Social Worker critically examines the knowledge base of social work - from human growth and development to social work research - and explores how your own values, principles and experience combine to shape your social work identity and practice alongside this. Stimulating your thinking in new ways, both about yourself and your life as a social worker, this book: • Uses a number of innovative exercises and case studies to help you to actively apply theory to practice. • Encourages reflexive thinking to support you in developing your own social work identity. • Considers the ways in which your social work identity can be maintained when working alongside other professional groups. Linked to a range of core modules on pre-qualifying social work programmes but written also for those practitioners committed to nurturing their own social work identities, How to be a Social Worker is a must have text from one of social work’s most up-and-coming authors.

‘Throughout this highly accessible book, David Howe communicates complex subjects with magisterial clarity and ease.’ - Bernard R. Moss, Emeritus Professor of Social Work Education and Spirituality, Staffordshire University, UK Empathy is profoundly important for understanding people’s feelings and behaviour. It is not only an essential skill in conducting successful personal and working relationships, it also helps us understand what makes people moral and societies decent.

He captures its growing significance in many fields, from evolutionary psychology and brain science to moral philosophy and mental health; and eloquently explains its importance to child development, intimate relationships, therapy, the creative arts, neurology and ethics.

French and Swain review the health and social care landscape from the perspective of disabled service users.
