Case Management, Third Edition: An Introduction to Concepts and Skills

By Arthur J. Frankel

Book Overview

Case managers provide an indispensable service, acting as both experts and liaisons to the wide variety of services, resources, and opportunities available to their clients. The authors use their extensive practice, classroom, and research experience to delineate clearly the steps of the case management process and to address the myriad roles case managers fill in different practice situations. By detailing the various processes and goals of case management and the different populations they help, the authors present a resource that is invaluable not only to social workers, but also to case managers in nursing centers, community mental health facilities, and criminal justice centers.
The third edition of this book is updated to reflect the constantly changing nature of the helping professions. New and updated references provide readers with an array of options for pursuing specific aspects of case management. The book is attentive to the evolving needs of a variety of populations, and it now contains a new section on working with members of the military and their families. This edition also contains new information on case management within larger organizations that provide mental health services.

CASE MANAGEMENT

IT'S A REAL USEFUL BOOK AND IT HELPS ME A LOT WITH MY CASE MANAGEMENT CLASS.

Quality

In reading the book cover to cover, Frankel and Gelman display a comprehensive and succicnt role of the case manager. As a psychologist, reading and reviewing this book leads me to believe that this should be the role for most mental health practitioners. An easy to understand, highly academic, and a must if you practice in the mental health field. Your level of graduate study is irrelevant you must practice and continously review the skills that are reviewed in this book
