Fundamentals of Case Management Practice

Skills for the Human Services

About this book

Summers' FUNDAMENTALS OF CASE MANAGEMENT PRACTICE: SKILLS FOR THE HUMAN SERVICES, 6e, is a step-by-step guide through the case management process, from intake and assessment to referrals and termination. This edition focuses on important considerations for students to document and pass along in each step of the human services process. Students are walked through each step of the case management process while realistic exercises provide a broad range of true-to-life circumstances. The text is meant to be experiential, giving students considerable opportunities to apply the skills and information acquired in each chapter and gain an understanding of how social services interact. 6e is available with MindTap, a seamless online learning experience that combines readings, multimedia, activities and assessments into a singular learning path that guides students through the course.
