## Description

NOTE: This book is a standalone book and will not include any access codes. Considered the classic source in its field, DIRECT SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE: THEORY AND SKILLS prepares you for effective real-world practice. Packed with case examples, illustrations, and proven learning experiences from the authors and other social work practitioners, the book integrates the major theories and skills that direct social work practitioners need to understand and master. Part of the Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series, the tenth edition is completely up to date and thoroughly integrates the core competencies and recommended practice behaviors outlined in the 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

Review: BUY & not rent this book if you’re a SW major - So I rented this for my SW Practice I class and well I ended up having to rent it AGAIN for my SW Practice II class. I should have bought the book. Especially because it has great info to study for the licensing exam. I’m going to end up buying this book even though I have the rental now. It’s sucks that I wasted so much money renting rather than buying. I HIGHLY suggest for you to buy this book if you are a social work major.
Review: Better than Expected (10/10) - The book came in good condition. No complaints. Good seller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great
*by R***N on January 21, 2022*

I’m a 1st year MSW student and this is a very valuable resource for me already. I’m glad I bought my own copy because I will definitely be referring to it when I do my field placements. It has very detailed information on practice skills and how to perform talk therapy (again, the emphasis is on skills, not specific evidence based practices). It is generalist in focus—as is my MSW program so this orientation fit with my program’s.
