The book includes critical information regarding the systems and organizations in which social workers practice; the nature of the relationship between social workers and clients/consumers/communities; planning, contracting, and strategizing functions; intervention techniques using advocacy, brief work, case management, and group work; and evaluation. Armed with this knowledge, social workers have the ability to intervene as advocates as well as to evaluate their work and their clients' progress.

Dr. Kerson does a splendid job of pulling together a prodigious amount of knowledge to make social workers who practice in health and mental health settings effective... This is a most needed book and a perfect text for beginning social workers as well as for seasoned professionals.
(Social Work in Health Care )Drawing from business and organizational development, Kerson incorporates mapping devices meant to inform assessment, strategy, intervention, and evaluation activities. All of these facets are incorporated as foundations for a holistic ecological model of the activities of social work practitioners.
