the text is a comprehensive guide to the most commonly used theories and methods in social work practice. the introductory chapter covers the similarities and differences between a theory and a method, as well as psychosocial theories and concepts. each subsequent chapter then explores in detail how to implement theories and methods, their strengths and limitations, alongside case examples, critical thinking questions and suggested further resources.

key features:

this is a practical and essential guide for all social work students, practitioners, and practice educators who are working with students in field placements.

the book is an updated third edition to a successful and established series.

The clarity with which Teater describes complex concepts for social workers is refreshing. This book will help promote understanding and best practice whilst being firmly grounded in key theories. It is a 'must have' for all social workers wherever they practise!
Dr Jonathan Parker, Professor of Society & Social Welfare, Bournemouth University, UK

This latest edition of 'Theories and Methods' is as solid as its predecessors academically, with a clear and easy to follow structure that makes it accessible in a way many such books are not. I have used previous editions in many situations, settings and levels, and endorse this latest as a must-have for anyone involved with social work. Explanation is clear and the use of tables, diagrams and cases bring the theory alive and enable users to realistically transfer theory to practice.  The use of exercise and questions provide a springboard to deeper learning as do the handy references and pointers to further reading at the end of each chapter.  Inclusion of sections such as the 'cultural and ethical considerations' lend themselves to self-analysis, exploration and ultimately self-development. A dream of a book to work with as an academic, tutor, practice educator and trainer...as well as student.
Michele Winter, Independent Social Worker & Teacher/Trainer, Social Care Training

I can wholeheartedly recommend this revised and updated edition of Barbra Teaters highly successful book. It remains essential reading for practitioners, undergraduate and postgraduate students of social work. The book provides a compelling and easily accessible analysis of key theories and methods. It challenges both students and practitioners to consider and reconsider how they can apply theories and methods to practice more effectively.
Prof Hugh Mclaughlin, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
