This item has been replaced by Cases in Macro Social Work Practice, 3/E.

This provocative and instructive collection of cases presents macro practice situations that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and participation in decision-making processes.

The Second Edition emphasizes the change process and follows the outline of our new edition of Social Work Macro Practice by F. Ellen Netting, Peter Kettner, and Steven McMurtry with a theoretical and practice perspective.

Based on real-world experiences, the cases reflect current trends such as managed care, total quality management, strategic planning, and disabilities.

In-chapter exercises encourage activities such as role playing and priority setting.

Divided into five sections: introduction; problems and populations; the community as an area of change; organization as an area of change; and changing macro systems.

A new introductory section addresses case methods both in the classroom and in theory, concept, and practice.

New cases illustrate the tensions of different understandings of situations and the search for a solution to each.

Each section includes “Introduction” and “References.”
