The Structural Approach to Direct Practice in Social Work: A Social Constructionist Perspective

by Carol T. Tully and Gale Goldberg Wood

This classic text introduces students to the structural approach of social work practice, which assumes that many clients' problems arise from harmful social forces. By focusing on the construction of such realities as poverty, racism, and domestic violence, the structural approach counters the focus on individual change that is so common in our age of managed care and corporatization.
