Part One introduces the student to the history of generalist practice with families and develops the concept of family ecosystems. In Part Two, the generalist model is applied to working with the family as a system, including a schema for developing a family social history and an extended case example of an intervention with a Hispanic family, progressing from assessment through termination. In Part Three, the Generalist model is applied to family subsystems and describes working with couples, parents, parent-child subsystems, and sibling subsystems across the lifespan. Throughout the text and specifically in Chapter 3, Diversity Competent Practice with Families, gender competent practice and a schema for understanding ethnically diverse families are explained. Numerous case examples throughout put practice into a real life context for students. ** MyHelpingLab Advertisement **Yanca, Stephen J. is the author of 'Generalist Social Work Practice With Families ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780205470105 and ISBN 0205470106.
