Working with Families de Allie Kilpatrick

Working with Families

Autor Allie Kilpatrick, Thomas Holland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 noi 2008

Considerăm că a cincea ediție a lucrării Working with Families reprezintă un instrument esențial pentru asistenții sociali, definindu-se prin modelul celor patru niveluri de nevoi familiale dezvoltat de Allie Kilpatrick. Primul capitol stabilește fundamentul întregului volum, oferind criterii clare de intervenție și o structură care permite profesioniștilor să identifice rapid tipul de suport necesar, de la nevoile de bază până la cele complexe de auto-actualizare. Abordarea propusă de Allie Kilpatrick și Thomas Holland se distinge prin mutarea focalizării de pe patologie către „family strengths” și capacitatea de reziliență a sistemului familial.

Organizarea cărții urmează o progresie logică, începând cu metateoriile necesare practicii contextuale. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit capitolul al doilea, care realizează o sinteză între perspectiva sistemelor ecologice și construcționismul social, oferind un cadru teoretic robust pentru analiza interacțiunilor umane. Cartea completează perspectiva oferită de Working with Families of the Poor, Second Edition de Patricia Minuchin, adăugând o metodologie de evaluare aplicabilă tuturor straturilor sociale, nu doar celor aflate în crize economice cronice. În timp ce Families and Mental Illness de Diane Marsh se concentrează pe patologii specifice, volumul de față oferă un model de practică generalist, adaptabil diversității clienților și alianțelor terapeutice.

Fiecare secțiune este susținută de resurse pedagogice, precum întrebări de discuție și bibliografii actualizate, transformând textul dintr-o simplă monografie într-un manual de curs aplicat. Ediția a 5-a rafinează aceste modele de practică, asigurând o relevanță directă pentru curriculumul actual de asistență socială prin integrarea contextelor de diversitate și a noilor resurse digitale.

Cititorul câștigă un model clar de evaluare pe patru niveluri, care ajută la prioritizarea nevoilor familiale. Este o resursă valoroasă deoarece înlocuiește abordările bazate pe „deficit” cu un model axat pe competențe și resurse interne ale familiei, esențial pentru o practică etică și eficientă.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

With its unique approach of presenting the skills needed to work with families specifically from a social worker’s perspective, Working with Families, Fifth Edition, examines how to assess families according to their level of need--from the most basic level (needs for food, clothing, and shelter) to more advanced levels (needs for intimacy and self-actualization). An innovative model for choosing specific interventions at each level helps apply concepts to real practice.
New to this Edition:
  • NEW Chapter!  Interventions with Level I, Neglectful Families,writtenby James M. Gaudin, gives effective practice guidelines for working with these families (Ch.5).
  • NEW Chapter! The Family in the Community, written by Elizabeth Vonk, provides a new look at ecosystem implications of the family in the community (Ch.13).
  • Expanded material on Spirituality including a framework for spiritual assessment (Ch.4)  and additional coverage of ethics and spirituality has been added throughout the text. 
  • Expanded section on Ethical Challenges.
