Purchase options and add-ons

The only textbook to outline the skills social workers need to conduct effective client interviews, this volume synthesizes recent research on interviewing and demonstrates its value in unique settings and with a variety of clients and issues. Connecting evidence-based approaches to the quality of practitioner-client relationships and the achievement of different objectives at each phase of the interview, the text shows students how to apply their learning systematically and develop specialized techniques for culturally competent interviewing and challenging client situations.

For this fifth edition, the authors have updated the text's research throughout and have adopted a more coherent chapter organization for teaching. The volume also includes new sections on breaking bad news and interviewing with aged, racial/ethnic, and sexual minority populations. Revised vignettes reflect the challenges practitioners now face in the field and represent the interests of diverse students and scholars.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This fifth edition updates content, examples, and supporting research for well-developed principles. Practical dialogues representing a range of social work practice are a particular strength. The book also emphasizes culturally competent practice and guides social workers in difficult situations such as sharing bad news. -- Ronald Rooney, University of Minnesota

This book is timeless! The authors have updated and enriched their newest edition and have added perceptive insights on crosscultural interviewing and new problem-solving interventions. They provide a dynamic examination of the helping process and present ideas and illustrations with eloquence and clarity. This seminal book is a gift to the profession. -- Alex Gitterman, University of Connecticut School of Social Work

Too often students underestimate the complexity of interviewing, having seen televised talk show interviews or having engaged in problem-solving with friends. This book explicitly describes the skills and knowledge social workers must use in their professional roles. -- Kim Strom-Gottfried, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill School of Social Work

The Kadushins have managed to convey both the science and art of interviewing without diminishing either aspect. Their book is a very practical tool for social workers and any human service worker. -- Julie Hughens, Mary Baldwin College

    5.0 out of 5 stars very good introduction book
    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    The first 4 chapters or so are VERY boring and dry but the rest of the book is very good at introducing the basics of a social work interview. This book has no pictures, diagrams, or charts and is purely in text format but there are a lot of useful examples and guidelines to follow. I haven't looked at any other interview textbooks and so can't say this is the best, but I know that I have gained a lot from reading this book.

    I used this book during my MSW program. My daughter is now in college and she was looking for a resource to help "communicate" and better understand others. This is a great tool with excellent examples. It is not a sit back in the swing and read it casually book. It is a read it, practice it, learn it and do it book! I enjoyed it.

    Must read for all professionals who conduct interviews. Content is basic and critical for all social workers. Text is structured in excellent manner, and while research-based, the material in presented in accessible language.

    I'd recommend this to others, covers absolutely everything to do with communication and the interview process for social workers, and also takes into account cultural differences with other books fail to mention.
