Spurred by concern about skyrocketing costs, an unlikely duo—community college president Jerome Moore and niche textbook publisher Greg Roberts—take on the entrenched textbook publishing industry. They decide to explore and test the exclusive use of computers in the classroom, with instructors acting as facilitators. The resulting Textdisc IT Project is introduced at Jerome’s college in a Boston suburb. But will it succeed and be transferable? The lives of Greg, his wife Sarah, family, friends, and associates offer dramatic evidence of the consequences of choices in work and love. With their children raised, Greg and Sarah choose an open marriage to help fi ll the void. How will their failure to look deeply into why they made that choice aff ect their lives and those of the ones they love? Greg has worked long distance with Anisa Seung for years. When he goes to Singapore to solicit further help for Textdisc, the attraction is immediate. After she moves to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to manage a new project, they meet again at a book fair in Barcelona. They decide to travel together in Spain after the fair. Will they remain only friends and colleagues or also become lovers with potentially disastrous consequences?
Today's clinical social workers face a spectrum of social issues and problems of a scope and severity hardly imagined just a few years ago and an ever-widening domain of responsibility to overcome them. Theory and Practice in Clinical Social Work is the authoritative handbook for social work clinicians and graduate social work students, that keeps pace with rapid social changes and presents carefully devised methods, models, and techniques for responding to the needs of an increasingly diverse clientele. Following an overview of the principal frameworks for clinical practice, including systems theory, behavioral and cognitive theories, psychoanalytic theory, and neurobiological theory, the book goes on to present the major social crises, problems, and new populations the social work clinician confronts each day. Theory and Practice in Clinical Social Work includes 29 original chapters, many with carefully crafted and detailed clinical illustrations, by leading social work scholars and master clinicians who represent the widest variety of clinical orientations and specializations. Collectively, these leading authors have treated nearly every conceivable clinical population, in virtually every practice context, using a full array of treatment approaches and modalities. Included in this volume are chapters on practice with adults and children, clinical social work with adolescents, family therapy, and children's treatment groups; other chapters focus on social work with communities affected by disasters and terrorism, clinical case management, cross-cultural clinical practice, psychopharmacology, practice with older adults, and mourning and loss. The extraordinary breadth of coverage will make this book an essential source of information for students in advanced practice courses and practicing social workers alike.
