Handbook of Theory for Practice Teachers in Social Work by Joy Lishman

Handbook of Theory for Practice Teachers in Social Work by Joy Lishman

As part of the general move towards accreditation and greater professionalism, practice teachers (supervisors) have to be accredited and undergo some training and practice teaching. This handbook, commissioned by the North of Scotland Consortium for Education and Training provides the theoretical base that practice teachers need. It provides a summary of the theory underlying models of understanding human development and behaviour, and of models of social work intervention. Because of its combination of theory and practice it will be of equal use to social students and practitioners and practice teachers supervising students under the new Diploma in Social Work programme.

`There is no need for practice teachers to feel at sea when the student's personal tutor comes calling…one can recommend the volume as effectively covering the traditional knowledge base for social workers'

Community Care

`In the current climate, it is good to see two chapters on probation practice in a book with social work in its title … certain individual chapters, because they offer something different, lend themselves as a basis for discussion in supervision, for reflective reading, and, in some cases, as relevant to post-qualification social work practice generally.'
