Therapeutic Social Work provides a focused way of working relationally with people to support holistic wellbeing, especially for those who have experienced relational trauma. It is positioned in generalist social work, and involves intentional purposeful work based in the home or community. This handbook provides a framework for therapeutic social work that describes working with loss and grief, anger, anxiety, supporting healthy self and inter-personal relationships, and providing psycho-education around relational trauma. It offers practical ideas, reflection questions, and examples from practice in each of these areas. There is also exploration around the conscious use of self when undertaking therapeutic work, and a description of supportive counselling. An example of a group and individual programme is provided to help implement the ideas and resources in the book.
