Advocacy in the Human Services

By Mark Ezell

Book Overview

Advocacy is needed now more than ever. Opportunities to engage in advocacy have increased due to changes at the federal level which are relegating more and more human service funding and decision-making to the state and local level. The purpose of this text is to educate students and professionals so that they have a deeper understanding of advocacy practice in order to fully serve clients.

Educating graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology to do more than psychotherapy...

I am using this text with my first year doctoral students in clinical psychology, specifically with the students completing their community service practicum...this text teaches students about coalition building and other methods of advocacy. I like how the author discusses various motivations for advocacy and how advocacy skills are useful and necessary in multiple community contexts.
