Overview
For 30 years, Field Instruction: A Practicum Handbook for Social Work Students has paved the way for students to move out of the classroom and enter internships at their chosen social service agencies. Now in its eighth edition, the invaluable insights and experiences of new coauthor Dr. Jenifer Gamble are provided, along with an infusion of content regarding the growing use of technology in human service agencies and the corresponding need to learn the ethical application of it.
This accessible guide begins by addressing questions about partnering with local service agencies and preparing for the first interview. Students learn about their new roles in practicum and the contexts in which social workers operate. Assessing the needs of clients and finding pragmatic ways to troubleshoot problems can cause stress and anxiety for interns, so the authors provide a guide to acquiring the needed skills to successfully help clients in a legal and ethical manner.
The authors integrate classroom knowledge and real-world settings by providing case examples throughout the text. Each chapter's coverage is linked to the nine social work competencies from the Council on Social Work Education (2022), the Standards for Technology in Social Work Practice (2017), and the Code of Ethics by the National Association of Social Workers (2021). Exercises, practice tests, short answer, and critical reflection on the competencies questions gauge mastery of chapter content. These outstanding features compel students to think about the nuances of social work practice and challenge them to reflect on their learning and competency development.
