Working with Involuntary Clients: A Guide to Practice
Many social workers are employed in positions where they deal with involuntary clients. These positions are demanding, and require a specific set of skills. The new edition of this successful book provides an accessible and practical guide for managing difficult and sensitive relationships and communicating with reluctant clients.The author directly links theory to real-life by adopting a jargon-free and accessible guide to working in partnership with involuntary clients. Written in a lively and engaging style, the book is richly illustrated with case examples drawn from a variety of service-user groups, thus ensuring its relevance across the whole curriculum.The author's integrated and systematic approach promotes prosocial values; emphasizes clarifying roles; and deals with issues of authority and goal-setting. Fully revised and updated throughout, the book also includes discussions of key themes such as evidence-based practice, risk assessment, legislation and multidisciplinary working. These changes bring the text up-to-date with current issues in social work education and practice.The result is an invaluable practical guide for social work and social care students and professionals to working with both clients and their families.Review`Whilst providing a wealth of evidence the book is written in an easily accessible style. It is pratically orientated, jargon-free and very much aimed at giving a good working knowledge and skills base for a variety of workers seeking more informative approaches to working with potentially challenging clients in complex situations.' - Journal of Advanced NursingAbout the AuthorDr Trotter worked for almost 20 years as a social worker and a regional manager in child protection and corrections prior to his appointment to Monash University in 1991.
