Diagnosis in Social Work: New Imperatives

By Francis J. Turner

Book Overview

Diagnosis in Social Work argues for the reinstatement of social diagnosis to its former place as an essential concept in social work intervention. It shows how the concept of diagnosis in social work has been misunderstood and given a negative, narrow definition in commonly used texts, and how this has had a detrimental impact on the quality of social work intervention. In addition, this valuable book includes suggestions as to how practitioners can enhance their own diagnostic acumen.
