Community Practice

Theories and Skills for Social Workers

By: David A. Hardcastle,Patricia R. Powers,Stanley Wenocur

Community Practice is a comprehensive resource for social workers and students eager to learn how to practice effectively in complex systems and diverse communities. In this completely revised edition of the definitive text in the field, the authors have thoroughly updated each chapter and added two entirely new chapters on community building and community organizing. New material on topics such as negotiation and mediation, community advocacy, participatory rural appraisal, the narrative approach to social change, community involvement, representative client boards, and the latest in grassroots endeavors make this text as inspiring as it is practical. Drawing upon the wealth of information available from local organizations, the Internet, newspapers, and academic journals, the authors introduce contemporary experiments and analyze classic modes of community practice and change. The content, exercises, and references offer instructors the flexibility necessary to tailor their courses to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral level students. This new edition will continue to provide a comprehensive and integrated overview of the theory and skills fundamental to all areas of social work practice. Broad in scope, it offers students as well as practitioners the tools necessary to promote the welfare of individuals and communities.

Fowl Play

By: Patricia Tichenor Westfall

In southern Ohio, in the heart of the Appalachians, folks don't like to talk about themselves much. So when a murder makes the morning news, it comes right behind a report on the school bus and the latest on Slim Coolis' Nubian goats. List-maker par excellence Molly West is listening attentively and wants to know what's up, especially once she learns that the murder involves an acquaintance. But prying information out of her neighbor Sheriff Matins is about as easy as cracking acorns with her teeth, and after fifteen years of residence, Molly is still an "outsider" to most of the locals. Yet Cathy Breyers' murder may just give Molly a chance to get inside their heads. As a director of a county meal-delivery program (and with a little help from her sociologist husband, Ken), she's beginning to understand the roundabout ways in which the locals communicate with one another. Even Louella Chalmers Benton, the county's crabbiest resident - who knows everybody's business and a thing or two about cockfighting - seems to be letting Molly into the clan. And Sheriff Matins, despite his taciturn ways, grumblingly admits that Molly has become an asset and a pretty good detective.
