000455129 520__ $$aFor the increasing numbers of social workers wishing to develop evidence-based practice and skills in supporting lesbians and gay men, this book provides valuable background and context. The authors present a timely call for a radical approach to practice, and illustrate this in work with many user groups.' Jill Manthorpe, Professor of Social Work, King's College London.
000455129 520__ $$aWorking with lesbians and gay men is a largely neglected area of social work practice. This book provides social workers and other professionals with an overview of a number of key challenges and concerns that play a significant part in the lives of lesbians and gay men. Despite positive changes in legislation, social work can still fail to meet the needs of lesbians and gay men, and remains a marginalised area in practice, research and teaching. This book promotes an understanding of these issues and proposes ideas for social work practice that are inclusive of lesbians and gay men in assessment and the provision of services.
000455129 520__ $$aThe book clearly links knowledge and practice and is structured in such a way so that theories relevant to social work practices with lesbians and gay men are covered before specific areas of practice are addressed.
000455129 520__ $$aThroughout the book, the authors encourage the reader to adopt a critical and reflective approach to social work. They present their ideas for effective practice that facilitates the individual and collective potential of lesbian and gay social work clients and carers. The book is essential reading for all qualifying social work students and practitioners working with lesbians and gay men. --Book Jacket.
