Description
Relationship-based Social Work with Adults by Heidi Dix, Sue Hollinrake and Jennifer Meade explores the core principles of relationship-based practice in social work with adults. This book delves into the theoretical foundations, legislation, policy drivers, values, and skills required for effective practice. The authors introduce a conceptual model called IDEAS, which provides a framework for understanding the complexities of relationships in social work. Through case examples and practical applications, they illustrate the efficacy of relationship-based practice across various settings. By examining both conscious and unconscious levels of relationships, this book offers a nuanced approach to working with adult service users and carers. This book is an essential resource for social workers seeking to develop their skills in relationship-based practice, and provides a valuable framework for understanding the complexities of human relationships in a professional context.
