Complexity in Social Work

Complexity lies at the heart of social work practice and this book is designed to help students and newly-qualified social workers plan for and manage complex cases in an increasingly complex environment. Split into two parts, this book reflects the journey of qualifying social work students from preparation for practice in an educational context to learning 'on the job' through working with service users in practice settings, and eventually assuming a more senior role in management, administration and training. Key topics covered in the chapters include managing volatility and uncertainty, making judgements and decisions, building and maintaining relationships, using reflection and supervision, working interprofessionally, managing risk, exploring cause and effect.

Complexitatea se afla in centrul practicii de asistenta sociala si aceasta carte este conceputa pentru a ajuta studentii si lucratorii sociali nou calificati sa planifice si sa gestioneze cazuri complexe intr-un mediu din ce in ce mai complex. Impartit in doua parti, aceasta carte reflecta calatoria calificarii studentilor de asistenta sociala de la pregatirea pentru practica intr-un context educational pana la invatarea „la locul de munca”, prin lucrul cu utilizatorii serviciilor in cadrul practicilor si, in cele din urma, asumarea unui rol mai inalt in management, administrare si antrenament.
