Critical Social Work Praxis by Sobia Shaikh (English) Paperback Book

Description: Critical Social Work Praxis by Sobia Shaikh, Brenda A. LeFrancois, Teresa Macias A cutting-edge critical social work textbook that unites social work theory with practice. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description What we think must inform what we do, argue the editors and authors of this cutting-edge social work textbook. In this innovative, expansive and wide-ranging collection, leading social work thinkers engage with social work traditions to bridge social work theory and practice and arrive at social work praxis: a uniting of critical thought and ethical action. Critical Social Work Praxis is organized into sixteen sections, each reflecting a critical social work tradition or approach. Each section has a theory chapter, which succinctly outlines the traditions main concepts or tenets, a praxis chapter, which shows how the theory informs social work practice, and a commentary chapter, which provides a critical analysis of the tensions and difficulties of the approach. The text helps students understand how to extend theory into praxis and gives instructors critical new tools and discussion ideas. This book is the result of decades of experience teaching social work theory and praxis and is a comprehensive teaching and learning tool for the critical social work classroom.
