By Wayne McCashen
A practical guide to the Strengths Approach for Social Workers, Psychologists, Counsellors and anyone who works with people. The Strengths Approach as a model shifts focus from power-over to power-with; from deficits to capacities; from expert-focussed to the-client-as-expert. Author, Wayne McCashen, clearly and comprehensively describes the ideas, values, beliefs, and frameworks that help create respectful and socially-just ways of working with people.
