Generalist Practice with Organizations and Communities

This readable and practical text applies the generalist practice model to social work with larger systems including organizations, neighborhoods, and communities, and emphasizes how macro, micro, and mezzo skills are inter-linked and how they are used every day practice. The authors clearly define the step-by-step processes for contemplating and initializing macro change in organizations and communities, while integrating issues such as values and ethics, populations-at-risk, social and economic justice, and diverse perspectives. The examples, practical applications, highlights, pictures, and diagrams make the material engaging and relevant. Significant issues pertinent to macro practice, including working with the media and courts, fundraising, grant writing, and resolving ethical dilemmas, are also addressed.
