Supervision in Social Work ANNOTATION
A fully revised and updated version of the standard book on social work supervision.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The book provides an overview of the art of social work supervision. It is designed to help the reader understand the place of supervision in the social agency, the functions that it performs, the process of supervision, and the problems with which it is currently concerned. It is intended to provide the knowledge base that is a necessary prerequisite to learning how to supervise.
SYNOPSIS
Updating long-standing controversies such as the conflict between professionalism and bureaucracy, and addressing the question of social work autonomy within organizations, this book discusses how dwindling resources have forced social work practice to become more results-oriented in a limited time frame.
FROM THE CRITICS
Social Work
This book should become the basic text on supervision for schools of social work, practitioners, supervisors, and agencies concerned with in-service training and accountability. . . . Kadushin's analysis of the administrative, educational, and supportive components of supervision is excellent.
