By Mary Nõmme Russell

Book Overview

As the number of clinical social workers increases, so too has the need for a comprehensive, well-organized review of research in the clinical social work field. Now, in Clinical Social Work, the past two decades of empirical research on clinical social work is critically analyzed. The author begins with an incisive description and discussion of the basic principles regarding practice research, and then walks the reader through each stage of clinical practice. Topics addressed include clinical environments, clinician attributes, client problems, and outcomes in group, individual, and family interventions. In addition, an insightful chapter on the training of clinical social workers is provided. Clinical practitioners, researchers, and students will benefit from the wide scope of information presented in this engaging volume.
