U of M Professors Publish Direct Social Work Practice Book

Professor Mary Ruffolo, Associate Professor Brian Perron and Clinical Associate Professor Betsy Voshel’s book, “Direct Social Work Practice: Theories and Skills for Becoming an Evidence-Based Practitioner” was published by SAGE.

Using a case-based approach to connect the classroom and the practice environment, this foundational text incorporates a broad set of themes that include advocacy, social justice, global focus, ethics, theory, and critical thinking. Integrated, up-to-date content related to diversity, social justice, and international issues helps readers develop the basic skills of engagement, assessment, intervention, and reflective practice, as well as the key skills needed for the field experience. Each chapter of the book is mapped to the latest Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) to aid schools of social work in connecting the course content with monitored outcomes.
