First published in 1994, this book was hailed as a cutting-edge, theory-driven report from the front-line trenches in the battle for social justice. Both clinical and community oriented and written from a global perspective, it presents clients speaking for themselves alongside reports of prominent social work educators. This new edition puts greater emphasis on "how-to" skills in working with people toward their own empowerment and stresses multiculturalism. A new chapter identifies worldwide issues of oppression such as abuse of women and children and neglect of the mentally ill.

Reviews for The Empowerment Approach to Social Work Practice
It covers a lot of ground, yet stays grounded and rooted in empowerment practice. It should have appeal to both clinical and macro social workers, academicians and practicioners alike.
