This unique core text, The Social Work Field Placement: A Competency-Based Approach, helps students with BSW and MSW prep, as well as structure their field placement learning around the nine CSWE professional social work competencies. This social work book also empowers students to go beyond merely completing tasks: the book facilitates mastery and integration of these competencies by elucidating key concepts and applying them to realistic competency-based case scenarios. Each user-friendly chapter―directly linked to a particular competency―promotes thought-provoking reflection about field work with critical thinking questions, a detailed case example, and an online competency reflection log template. These tools reinforce learning by connecting competencies directly to students’ internship experiences.

Cases serve as models to help students prepare their own cases and includes a review of the competency; detailed practice settings; socioeconomic and context factors at micro, macro, and mezzo levels; a problem overview; an assessment of client strengths and weaknesses; and a closing summary. Additional learning aids include chapter opening vignettes and objectives, plus chapter summaries. Web and video links offer students a wealth of supplemental resources, and a robust instructors package provides teachers with PowerPoints, written competency assignments with grading rubrics, and discussion exercises. The print version includes free, searchable, digital access to entire contents of the book. You couldn’t ask any more from a generic BSW study guide, let alone a standout core textbook as powerful as this.
