Social Work Practice with Children, 4th Edition, presents developmentally and culturally informed methods for helping young clients in family, school, and community settings. Nancy Boyd Webb outlines strategies for assisting children confronting adversity, including maltreatment, trauma, poverty, bullying, and parental substance abuse.
The volume demonstrates core intervention modalities, using case examples to explore play therapy, family work, group interventions, and school-based programs. Readers learn how practitioners conduct assessments and plan care tailored to individual developmental needs.
Designed for students and practitioners, the textbook includes pedagogical tools such as discussion questions, role-play exercises, and downloadable reproducible assessment forms in an 8.5 by 11-inch format.
