Greater numbers of children across the age spectrum are being identified as needing mental health assessment, intervention, and service, thus straining the capacities of practitioners and agencies. Withstanding these potential setbacks are the strength of the therapeutic relationship and the strength of relational connections with children, parents, families, and systems. Cohen Konrad's text is grounded in humanism and the traditional social work theories of relationship with emphasis on three core concepts relational connection, evidence guided knowledge, and reflexivity all of which are necessary to maintain a successful social worker child family dynamic.

Child and Family Practice: A Relational Perspective is an essential text that presents important guidelines and principles for working with children, their families, and their service providing organizations. Cohen Konrad emphasizes the relational perspective, which places value on human relationships, particularly those that children establish with primary care givers and helping professionals encountered during times of crisis. With this text students can connect theory to evidence based practice and use realistic case studies for classroom role play and engaging discussion. Cohen Konrad's goal is to help students connect science, theory, and the human qualities necessary to effect positive change and inspire hope in the lives of children and families.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An outstanding example of thorough, thoughtful content. Cohen Konrad's passion for the deliverance of effective service to children and families seems to seep between the lines, which adds to the positive impact . . . I am amazed at her consistent ability to tackle a complex subject, provide
a brilliant summary, and illustrate key points with intriguing and relevant examples of how this knowledge should translate into good social work practice, that is, relational practice."
--Penny Tropman, ACSW

5.0 out of 5 stars Wise, well structured, and scholarly without being "dry"
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
I completed my masters degree in social work several years ago, and I was in need of a book that would help me refresh my knowledge and give me new tools for working with children and families. I had the honor of studying under Shelley Cohen Konrad at the University of New England, and when I heard she had published this book I immediately ordered it. I have not been disappointed:
1) The text is very approachable: full of wise insights and references to clinical research without brow-beating the reader or falling into the scholarly pitfalls of dry, verbose, and run-on sentences. Unlike other practice theory books, this one doesn't make my eyes cross or put me to sleep.
2) Each chapter is divided smartly into sections that build on each other while being valuable and digestible on their own. Most of these sub-sections are comprised of no more than two pages of text, which is HUGELY helpful to me in my busy life: it allows me to educate myself five minutes at a time without always stopping in the middle of a thesis point. Plus, you can easily jump to a section when in need of direction or a quick reminder.
3) The chapters cover a full range of practice approaches across a wide range of child/family populations, all tied together by Dr. Cohen Konrad's unique gifts in - and insights into - relational practice.
This book will stay in reach on my office shelf for years to come.

A great book for a person beginning social work. The author has great examples and uses very active and interesting voice throughout the text. I used it as a text for a class in my master's program and it was excellent- I'd enjoy it as a free read as well. Very interesting and informative.
