“This book is a reassuring, thorough and essential guide to the world of social work theories and methods…This 4th Edition deserves to find a place on every social work reading list and bookshelf.”
Professor Richard Ingram, University of Dundee, Scotland, UK

“Based on the belief that all social workers have a responsibility both ethically and professionally to draw upon theories that are grounded in social work values, the fourth edition of this book offers readers the opportunity to consider anew those theories.”
Sarah Vicary, Professor of Social Work and Mental Health, School of Health Wellbeing and Social Care, The Open University, UK

“An essential read for anyone in the field of social work… This book is a testament to the profound impact that well-grounded theoretical knowledge can have on real-world social work. Highly recommended for its clarity, depth, and relevance.”
Paul McCafferty, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, Queen’s University Belfast, NI

This text is a comprehensive guide to the most commonly used theories and methods in social work practice. The introductory chapter covers the similarities and differences between a theory and a method, as well as an overview of psychosocial theories and concepts.

Each subsequent chapter explores in detail how to implement a specific theory or method, their strengths and limitations, key research, ethical and cultural considerations, and the integration of the theory or method with anti-oppressive practice. Each chapter includes case examples, critical thinking questions, and suggested further resources.

Key features of this new edition include:

Illustrative case studies
Exercises and case examples
Critical thinking questions
Further readings/resources
Revised content, including a chapter on relationship-based social work

An Introduction to Applying Social Work Theories and Methods is a practical and essential guide for all social work students, practitioners, and practice educators who are working with students in field placements.
