N2  - As a philosophy, approach, or method of practice, empowerment provides a way to rethink one's approach to social work practice. This enlightening new book gives students specific examples of how empowerment practice is conducted in the field, as well as the necessary tools for incorporating empowerment into their own practice. Co-editors Gutierrez, Parsons, and Cox have assembled a diverse group of contributors who provide information on the depth and breadth of empowerment practice and its use in various settings and with various populations. Empowerment in Social Work Practice presents a comprehensive model for empowerment practice with applications to key populations across all three levels of social work practice (micro, mezzo, and macro) and even into research, policy, evaluation, and administration. -- from back cover
