SOCIAL WORK CATALOGUE




By Laura Quiros
Reimagining Trauma Informed Spaces of Liberation is a groundbreaking book that interrogates the field of social work from the places of trauma, joy, and liberation. It unpacks, deconstructs, and positions trauma as something normative that impacts our social and collective consciousness, as well as an opportunity for liberation. The book provides readers with an invaluable trauma-informed, social justice lens through which to view trauma in all its iterations: sociopolitical, cultural, systemic, and individual. It helps social workers move away from individual deficit framing and underscores the idea that trauma is influenced by environments and the history of those environments. After recognizing its complex nature, the book challenges readers to view trauma and traumatic experiences through the lens of opportunity, rather than one of deficit.

An Attachment-Based Approach to Caring for People with Lived Experience of Trauma
By Jo Anderson, Anna Bodicoat
There is increased interest in trauma informed care in the UK and worldwide, however so far there are limited resources for professionals providing training to help health and social care staff (who may have had very little training in attachment theory) to provide care which is trauma informed at an emotional as well as practical level. The CaPLET Training Manual will guide facilitators in making the core psychodynamic concepts – which are relevant to providing traumainformed care – accessible to health and social care staff. In addition, it will enable facilitators to help staff better understand the people they care for in the context of their histories of trauma and develop insight into the ways in which attending to their own emotional and behavioural responses can help them provide better care.

A Practitioner's Guide to Using Dyadic Developmental Practice
By Andrew Lister, Alison Keith, Kim S. Golding
A guide for social care workers on how DDP can be used in social care settings with children and families who have experienced developmental trauma.
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a therapeutic approach that uses attachment theory to support children and families who have experienced relational trauma.
By consciously offering PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy), adults can help children - and each other - to feel more secure and open to others.
This guide explains how to apply the principles of DDP to every level of working with children and families in the social care system. It covers how DDP can be used to support everything from building relationships between children and carers to decision -making on an organisational scale.
It also explores ways to adapt DDP-based strategies to take different cultural and social considerations into account, allowing social workers to ensure their practice is tailored to each family's individual needs.

Autistic people often experience difficulties with social communication. This can impact all areas of life and can contribute to poorer mental health outcomes, reduced opportunities for fulfilling social interactions and barriers to health and social care, education and employment. This book offers a new way of understanding why cross-neurotype mis attunements in communication may happen by taking the double empathy problem - the reframing of social communication difficulties as a two-way problem, not simply the result of an autistic 'deficit' - and a little-known cognitive linguistics theory, 'relevance theory', as a starting point. Weaving together threads from critical autism studies, a socialjustice perspective, cognitive science, linguistics and sociology, this book leads the reader towards a new, radical perspective of how we can understand these breakdowns in understanding.

ripples and responses
By Michael Chapman, Mirranda Burton
Written by a Palliative Care Physician this book argues that dementia affects and involves not only individuals with a dementia diagnosis but the networks of people close to and/or caring for that individual. The book encourages us to consider dementia not as the condition of an isolated individual but as a process of change within a social and relational system. Dementia challenges deeply held values of autonomy, individualism, independence, consistency and ideas of personhood. Rather than focus on the question of a cure for dementia, Chapman investigates how it is possible for networks of people to understand and learn from the changes that the arrival of dementia in their midst bring about.
An A-Z of Strategies for Successful Support
By Bernie McCarthy
Dementia poses a profound and difficult journey for those directly affected, and for their loved ones and caregivers too. Life at home goes through a significant change, but with the right tools, some patience and compassion, it is possible to create a fulfilling home environment while caring for a loved one with dementia. This book is full of valuable guidance and support as you navigate the transition from intimate relationship to the role of compassionate caregiver. It explores the foundations of understanding the person with dementia and the daily challenges they may encounter, while also offering insights that help caregivers to forge a healthy approach to understanding their loved ones and themselves. The second part of the book is an A-Z exploration of issues that caregivers face when living with a person with dementia.
Person-Centred Approaches to Communication for Families and Caregivers
By Bernie McCarthy
Losing the ability to communicate can be a frustrating and difficult experience for people with dementia, their families and carers. As the disease progresses, the person with dementia may find it increasingly difficult to express themselves clearly, and to understand what others say. Written with both family and professional carers in mind, this book clearly explains what happens to communication as dementia progresses, how this may affect an individuals memory, language and senses, and how carers might need to adapt their approach as a result. Advocating a person-centred approach to dementia care, the author describes methods of verbal and non-verbal communication, techniques for communicating with people who can not speak or move easily, and strategies for communicating more effectively in specific day-to-day situations, including at mealtimes, whilst helping the person with dementia to bathe or dress, and whilst out and about.

An A-Z - from Advocacy to Zones of Influence
By Elaine James, Rob Mitchell
Dive into the heart of social work in this pioneering A-Z reference guide which brings theory to life through the lived experience of social workers. Drawing on narrative accounts from a thriving community of practice, this justice-driven book offers authentic and intimate outlooks on the realities of social work. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of practice and is supplemented with a diverse tapestry of professional voices at various stages of their career. Each contribution offers a unique perspective, including insight from professionals who have first-hand experience of social work interventions. Examples of practice are from across the age range, from the experience of supporting a young person to move from a children’s residential home into their first flat through to ensuring that an older person living in a care home carries on voting.
Children and Families
By Richard Devine, Andrew Turnell
Social work is a complex career - a hugely rewarding way to make a difference in people's lives, paired with an enormous responsibility to get it right. This (unofficial) guide, grounded in the author's decade-long experience on the front line of child protection, explores the intersection between these points and how to handle the challenges of the job while celebrating its joys. This isn't a tidy list of textbook situations and perfect solutions - there are mistakes of all shapes and sizes, there are consequences, and (most importantly) there are reflections on what went wrong and how to not do the same thing in your own practice. Case studies and vignettes look into the realities of child protection from both perspectives, and what happens when what should happen doesn't match with what does.
Illuminating Paradoxes and Pitfalls
By Terry L. Koenig, Rick Spano
This book introduces students, faculty, and practitioners to different ways of mastering the complex, yet key elements of successful practice. It refocuses the attention from teaching about practice to concentrating on how to support the development of field instructors, students, and practice teachers in understanding that their personal and professional growth is the instrument for the delivery of "good" or "bad" social work practice. The book is divided up into three parts: Part I: Introduction to Critical Frameworks for Social Work Practice; Part II: The Centrality of the Professional Relationship; and Part III: Practice Models and Their Applications.
