Messy Social Work
Learning from Frontline Practice with 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 solutionsthere 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 investigate the realities of child protection from both perspectives, and what happens when what should happen doesn't match with what does.
By John Poulin, Selina Matis, Heather Witt
A competency-based approach to generalist social work practice that integrates an anti-oppressive perspective and foundational practice principles.

Human Growth and Development 5/e
By Chris Beckett, Hilary Taylor
Our bestselling social work textbook is back again.
Taking you right back to basics, this book explains and analyses key theories in an accessible way before going on to discuss, in detail, how theory can be incorporated into everyday social work practice. Each chapter contains activities with step-by-step commentaries for discussion, self-analysis and critical reflection. The book very loosely follows the shape of a human life, beginning with a birth and ending with a death, but many of the chapters deal with ideas and topics that are relevant at many different stages of life, such as bereavement, attachment and learning. Its focus throughout is on psychosocial developmentso psychological development within a social context - rather than physical development.
This book is by Chris Beckett, a social work academic and novelist who previously worked in child and family social work, and Hilary Taylor, a psychotherapist and former social work academic who used to work in the field of social work with adults. It is the go-to guide for anyone studying for careers in helping professions, such as nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, teachers and counsellors.
It’s also supported by an online case study resource. Follow the lives of people living in the fictional London Borough of Bexford, with 12 extended case studies to help you explore key issues and themes raised in the book as well as develop the skill of linking theory to practice.
