A vital part of a social worker's role is to build strong
relationships based on confidence and trust, with people across all
stages of the life course and from a broad range of backgrounds, in
what can be extremely challenging circumstances. In this, her latest
collaboration with Palgrave, bestselling social work author Karen
Healy turns her attention to the key topic of communication and the
importance of developing into a skilled communicator across all areas
of professional practice. Split into two distinct sections, the text
provides a thorough exploration of: - The foundations of effective
communication in social work practice, focusing on the basic knowledge
and skills that are essential to forming working alliances with
service users in a broad range of practice situations; and - The
specialised communication skills required to work with people with
specific capacities and needs – from children, young people and
older adults to people from diverse cultures and linguistic groups,
those who experience trouble with verbal communication and those with
mental health challenges. With helpful learning features such as
practice exercises and chapter summary questions to enable you to
review and reflect on what you have learned, this is an essential
resource for social work students new to this complex area of
practice.
