In its new edition, The Practice of Generalist Social Work provides in-depth understanding of the knowledge, skills, values, and affective and cognitive processes needed for social work practice in the present moment. Grounded in a strengths-based perspective, chapters in the textbook discuss practice with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations and guide students through all phases of the change process with the aid of case studies, examples, and exercises that highlight and provide connections to real-life practice situations. Theoretical frameworks, important value and ethical considerations, and pivotal communication skills are all included in the text’s comprehensive coverage of different practice settings with clients and communities. The sixth edition is now guided by the 2022 Council on Social Work Education Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS), with connections to renewed objectives and competencies integrated throughout, and is further updated to reflect and focus on new developments within the discipline. These include anti-racism efforts and movements to address entrenched racial inequities; the practice of cultural humility and cultural responsiveness; and attention to community-based implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over three hundred 'constructs' were obtained from practising social workers describing their perception of their work with clients. These constructs were used as the basis of an Instrument designed to measure change in social work transactions. The constructs were sorted into identifiable groups describing the social work process. A number of social workers examined the groups and judged the constructs for word and meaning similarities. The constructs were then submitted to a quota sample of fifty-eight social workers for judgement of each construct's 'relevancy' for them in their work. Respondents also selected interpretations for a small number of the constructs. From analysis ninety-two 'typical' constructs emerged and these formed the final version of the Instrument.
