Additional text features include:

• Prepares Students for Clinical Work - Tools, such as An Integrated Approach to Clinical Practice in chapter 3 and a step-by-step walkthrough of a clinical interview in chapter 4, aid the integration of field and classroom, theory and skill-building, helping students apply theory to practice. Clinical examples help students conceptualize theoretical formulations and form diagnostic impressions based on the DSM-V and the mental status exam.
• Illustrates Actual Client Work - Clinical techniques along with dialogue from actual work with clients are explored throughout the book. The clients examined reflect the larger social issues of current times. They include: survivors of child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, discrimination, racism, and mental illness. Chapter 4: The Psychosocial Study:The Product of Assessment, includes a model that walks the student through the process.
• Demonstrates Common Struggles - Case discussions show both clients’ and social workers’ struggles with change and the therapeutic process. The process recordings reflect work with individuals, families, and groups of different cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. For example, a process recording from an interview with a Latina women struggling in her role as wife and daughter describes the integration in detail. An entirely new online resourc ewill accompany the text that reflects treatment of children and adolescents in foster care, and the issues that they face in forming new attachments.  
• Includes an Array of Theories -  This covers multiple theories, such as psychodynamic, transtheoretical, relational, cognitive, behavioral, and postmodern. Despite their differences, each theory views the therapeutic process as having been created by the therapist and client in an atmosphere of mutuality and collaboration. Students will be able to distinguish theories as well as make connections between them. A new Chapter 14: Trauma Theory, includes the discussion of two contemporary trauma theories and detailed case examples on a middle aged women, and a child.
