Cognitive-behavioural Social Work in Practice
Cognitive-Behavioural Social Work in Practice appears at an interesting time for social work and social services. More than ever, practitioners are required to provide evidence for the effectiveness of what they do, while the rights of service users to ethically competent practice in which they are partners is high on the agenda. Drawing on a wide area of research, as well as the practice experience of its 18 contributors, it covers a broad range of cognitive-behavioural intervention with different client groups in a variety of settings, including child care, family work, probation and offending behaviour, mental health, disability and issues concerning older people. The first chapter sets o...
Disability and Impairment
Burke demonstrates the normality of disability - that children are children whatever their label - and the need for a sensitive professional understanding of the impact of both physical and learning disabilities on family members, in order to improve their quality of life.
Supporting People with Alcohol and Drug Problems
This book addresses the gap in social work education by providing a combination of research evidence, policy frameworks and practical hints and tips for good social work practice for all those in children's and adults' social work and social care settings who are working with people who use alcohol or other drugs.
Support for Families
Despite many studies of families where there is a child with a learning disability, it is clear that such children do not, from the beginning of their life, enjoy the same opportunities as others. inequality is also experienced by their carers, almost always parents, in their day-to-day lives. This study, through the views of carers, considers the formal and informal networks used by families. The book is in two parts. Part one reviews the literature and introduces the research. Part two gives basic qualitative and quantative information about the subjects of the study, includes detailed care studies and examines the kind of support received. This provides a picture of the resources families use, and helps identify gaps in the support that is available. The book concludes with the arguments for a holistic approach to services for families and looks at what remains to be done to meet their needs.
Critical Practice in Social Work
What do social workers need to know in order to practise skilfully and effectively? Edited by three Social Work's leading scholars, the second edition of this highly respected textbook helps bridge the gap between social work theory and the challenges of day-to-day practice. Versatile and thoughtful, the book's simultaneous accessibility and depth make it essential reading suited for both social work students at undergraduate and post-qualifying level. Practitioners, too, will learn and benefit from the insights collected together in this valuable addition to their bookshelf.

Spas, Wells, & Pleasure Gardens of London
London was once blessed with spas set in gardens, where beneficial waters could be consumed and enjoyed in agreeable surroundings, sometimes with music, food and alcohol. They were, in effect, the pleasure resorts of the 18th century. With the aid of many images the author - one of England's most distinguished architectural historians - provides a racy, informative, humorous and well-researched social history of these fascinating, if ephemeral, little-known features of London life, some of which survived until early Victorian times.
