Description
The growth of interest in community work during the seventies was very marked.
But while much had been written on the actual practice of community work, there was for too long a lack of British material on the vital subjects of useful theory, training and the development of skills.
In this title, originally published in 1977, the authors brought together for the National Institute for Social Work experienced teachers and practitioners of community work in an integrated and carefully structured textbook which would further understanding of the means through which community workers develop their knowledge and skills; it would be widely welcomed by all those involved in aspects of community work – as teachers, students, practitioners, supervisors and as local authority training officers.
The first part of the book has four chapters on the principle means through which community workers develop their skills within their employing agencies.
Part two deals with theories and the contribution made to community work by the social sciences, group work, research methods and management and planning studies.
The last part of the book contains three papers which examine the major problems and issues in the placement, learning experiences and assessment of students on field work.
