Summary

This book is ideal for social workers who are concerned with the newly-emerging client populations in America, people with severe and long-term impediments that diminish their capacity to join the everyday society. This includes the mentally ill, the frail, elderly, physically and developmentally disabled among others. New service concepts and approaches are needed that provide sustained care free from institutional confines. This case management book integrates both theory and practice and deals with both in an individual and community practice. It utilizes a clear, conceptual model of social work practice and case management and is derived from field research. New and practicing social workers.
