Awesome Book for Theories

This book is very easy to read. Dr. Walsh writes the book in the same way he teaches which is very relatable and understandable. Dr. Walsh discusses many theories, detailed steps of how to carryout an intervention, pros and cons, and case examples. Another useful tool is an outlined summary of the theory at the end of each theory which is very useful for referencing! I love this book!

Social Work Empowered

This is a great textbook for classroom teaching. The author explains Theory relative to history and proceeds to explain in detail each theory used in social work. Clinical social work in assessment and intervention becomes clearer as you proceed through the book. Examples of conversations taken from clinical cases explain the process of using the theories and places the social worker in the situation. I would recommend this book to anyone who is teaching a class in Direct Practice. Very easy to understand and it flows evenly from chapter to chapter.
