Description
Narrative in Social Work Practice explores how social workers use storytelling to make a positive impact. This collection features first-person accounts from practitioners who have successfully integrated narrative theory into their work, describing innovative interventions with individuals and groups facing various life challenges. From hospitals and clinics to graduate schools and case management agencies, the authors share stories of how they've used narrative techniques to enrich the lives of clients and themselves. They describe a family in crisis, a Bronx trauma center, and people living with dementia, among other settings. By showcasing the flexibility and appeal of narrative methods, this book demonstrates their potential as an empowering tool for both clients and social workers. Through these stories, Narrative in Social Work Practice highlights the creative ways that narrative techniques can fulfill the mission and core competencies of the social work profession.
