Assessment 1: Paraphrasing Skills
Bogo claims that one of the most difficult aspects of producing the book was presenting material from four different perspectives: theoretical concepts and models empirically based understanding of helping and change processes, social work principles, and interviewing and communication skills. She rises to the occasion admirably: she thoroughly comprehends the complexities of social work practise, and it is commendable that her book does not misrepresent this complexity.
The text is divided into three sections:
· The helpful process in social work practise
· Conceptual frameworks for social work practise
· In social work practise, interviewing is used.
The American Council on Social Work Education has released Sarah Bogo's new book, Social Work: Essentials of Integrative Culture and Practice (CSWE, 2015). The first section of the book is headed "conceptual foundations for social work practise." Bogo outlines how self-regulation, social work knowledge, self-awareness, critical thinking, intervention skills, and decision-making, may be incorporated into practise. While this literature discusses diversity, injustice, and social justice, it focuses on the social work as a helpful [therapy] connection with a client or clients. The typical social work practitioner envisioned in this literature is one who works directly with consenting clients to effect change in their circumstances. Clients were not included in the coalitions and alliances that may be formed since this is not a radical document (Murr, 2020, p. 229).
In five chapters, Bogo's book addresses 'the assisting process in social work practise,' with the debate organised around stages in transformation processes. This section of the book does an outstanding job of synthesising practical and theoretical knowledge from many viewpoints and presenting it in a logical and compelling manner. The power dialectical relations that generate the privilege of some viewpoints over others are not investigated. Bogo tackles 'interviewing in social work practise' in only one chapter in the last section, which gives a full treatment of interviewing in social work with skills explained in details with examples. This is a well-informed and practical chapter, which can be read on its own without having previously read parts one and two.
This is an excellent book. It is very relevant to social work and, with the proviso that the references to EPAS are national specific (CSWE, 2015), applicable to an international audience. It is not a radical text, nor does it seek to be. It is an educational book for both practitioners and students that explains and examines the complexity of social work practise.
