Lösungsorientierte Soziale Arbeit

This book shakes the foundations of social work. It propagates the paradigm shift from intensive problem analysis to a consistent solution orientation with a focus on goals, resources and competencies. The authors first describe the foundations and the social significance of the solution-oriented approach before turning to individual fields of action in child and youth welfare, including educational assistance, in-patient youth welfare, forced contexts and school social work. At the latest in the contributions reporting from social work practice, the potential and the enormous usefulness of the solution-oriented approach becomes clear: for the professional experts, for the clients and also for the organisations active in the field of social work. With contributions from: Kaspar Baeschlin & Marianne Baeschlin - Stefan Bestmann - Frank Ege.
