Professional Writing for Social Work Practice

Daniel Weisman MSW, PhD

Key Features:

•Helps students understand and practice the basics of good writing

•Focuses specifically on the types of writing they will need to do in social work practice

•Includes writing samples used in actual social work venues

•Provides samples of agency reports, intake forms, client progress notes, court documentation, and more

Many social work students today are lacking the basic writing skills they will need to practice effectively with clients. This user-friendly guide to effective writing skills focuses specifically on the types of writing social work practitioners are required to do in everyday practice: agency reports, client documentation, court letters, and grant writing applications, among others. It includes abundant real-world examples drawn from all arenas of social work practice.

The text helps students to understand and practice the basics of successful writing through the inclusion of actual forms and records that are customarily used in social work practice. It presents examples of strong writing and analyzes common writing errors. Each chapter contains examples of good and poor writing, and includes forms on which students can practice their new skills. The text also covers legal and ethical issues surrounding legal documentation and use of writing to influence policy and transmit research findings.

Statistics and Data Interpretation for Social Work

James Rosenthal PhD

"Without question, this text will be the most authoritative source of information on statistics in the human services. From my point of view, it is a definitive work

that combines a rigorous pedagogy with a down to earth (commonsense) exploration of the complex and difficult issues in data analysis (statistics) and interpretation. I welcome its publication."

—Praise for the author’s previous book,Statistics and Data Interpretation for the Helping

Professions

Key Features:

•Addresses the role of statistics in evidence-based practice and program evaluation

•Features examples of qualitative and quantitative analysis

•Each chapter contains exercise problems and questions to enhance student learning

•Includes electronic data sets taken from actual social work arenas

•Offers a full ancillary digital packet including a student guide to SPSS with accompanying Data Set, an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint slides, and a Test Bank

Written by a social worker for social work students, this is a nuts and bolts guide to statistics that presents complex calculations and concepts in clear, easy-to-understand language. It includes numerous examples, data sets, and issues that students will encounter in social work practice.

The first section introduces basic concepts and terms to provide a solid foundation in statistics. It also addresses tools used by researchers to describe and summarize data ranging from single variables to assessing the relationship between variables and cause and effect among variables. The second section focuses on inferential statistics, describing how researchers draw conclusions about whole populations based on data from samples. This section also covers confidence intervals and a variety of significance tests for examining relationships between different types of variables. Additionally, tools for multivariate analyses and data interpretation are presented.
