Summary: This Australasian text provides teaching and learning practice skills for social work students in Australasia. The contributors are Australian and New Zealand practitioners and academics. The material reflects contemporary practice issues students are likely to encounter in placements. The text is divided into two parts: the first part lays the foundation for teaching and leaning skills, covering topics related to the experience of learning practice skills in a group setting and preparing for client contact. The second part focuses on specific practice skills related to service delivery with clients. The text uses case studies to demonstrate how welfare services can be delivered in different contexts. Risk assessment in domestic violence is specifically addressed. The editors' approach is based on the belief that the source of individual problems is found in a wider societal context, thus social workers need to understand oppression, inequity and the effect of marginalisation of individuals, families and groups. The text notes Maori and indigenous perspectives.
