First published in 1974, Turner's Social Work Treatment remains the most popular and trusted compendium of theories available to social work students and practitioners. It explores the full range of theoretical approaches that drive social work treatment and knowledge development, from psychoanalysis to crisis intervention. A treasure trove of practice knowledge, the text equips professionals with a broad array of theoretical approaches, each of which shine a spotlight on a different aspect of the human condition. Emphasizing the importance of a broad-based theoretical approach to practice, it helps readers avoid the pitfalls of becoming overly identified with a narrow focus that limits their understanding of clients and their contexts. This sweeping overview of the field untangles the increasingly complex problems, ideologies, and value sets that define contemporary social work practice. The result is an essential A-to-Z reference that charts the full range of theoretical approaches available to social workers, regardless of their setting or specialty.
Turner's Social Work Treatment provides a very in-depth, comprehensive overview of theories used in social work practice in the U.S. Some of the strengths include adding authors that have expertise in each theory to all chapters. Furthermore, there is a detailed section of each chapter that provides readers with a guide of how to conduct assessments and interventions guided in each approach. The case examples offer readers real-world examples that are relevant and connect theory and practice. * Dr. Catherine LaBrenz, Assistant Professor, University of Texas at Arlington *
This is a comprehensive book on social work theory that show various theories' application to social work practice. It reads easily and takes a fresh perspective on even the most dated theories, exploring major theoretical perspectives in a broad manner rather than separating out and explaining the many branches and revisions of major theory; this helps students who may be befuddled by the myriad theories, perspectives, and lenses typically offered by social work theory classes. * Dr. Pam Szczygiel, Assistant Professor, Bridgewater State University *
