Description

Good communication skills are essential to any form of social work practice, from therapeutic interventions through to the most mundane bureaucratic activities. For this reason, the honours degree in social work assesses all students' learning of communication skills with children, adults and those with communication difficulties. This interactive and practical resource shows student social workers how to communicate effectively and develop good interpersonal skills. The emphasis of the book is not on any particular "right way" to communicate, but on the need to be aware, flexible and responsive so that communication is suited to the service user, the context and the purpose of the work. Key messages and further reading are highlighted throughout the text, in order to aid and reinforce learning.
