Boundary spanning

"The boundary-spanning approach to health-related social work extends over previously drawn barriers in order to afford social workers a greater scope of understanding, greater latitude in interventions, and greater access to organizations and systems. This book was written because Toba Schwaber Kerson believes that boundary spanning in all these areas is critical to social worker's abilities to help their clients/patients/consumers reach their goals.". "The book includes critical information regarding the nature of the relationship between social workers and clients/consumers/communities: planning, contracting, and strategizing functions: intervention techniques using advocacy, brief work, case management, and group work: and evaluation. Armed with this knowledge, social workers have the ability to intervene as advocates as well as to evaluate their work and their clients' progress."--BOOK JACKET.
