Description
When Skills in Neighbourhood Work first appeared in 1980, it was the first comprehensive how-to-do-it book for practitioners and students in social work and community development. It has been used extensively in Britain and abroad, and its success was followed by the production of two video tapes designed for use alongside the book.
This revised second edition includes a new introduction and a re- arrangement of the book's contents to make them more accessible to the practitioner and student. It will be of value not only to community workers but also to those in other occupations such as social work and youth work who are developing their services from a neighbourhood base. The authors take the reader through from the beginning to the ending stages of neighbourhood work, and offer a framework within which students or practitioners can locate their activities.
Paul Henderson and David Thomas are tutors at the National Institute for Social Work, and have considerable experience of practice and teaching in neighbourhood work. In preparing this book, they shared drafts with practitioners, trainers and students. The outcome is a clear, thoughtful and comprehensive exposition of neighbourhood work that has already made a major contribution in the fields of social work and community development.
