Social Work Skills Demonstrated: Beginning Direct Practice

Welcome to the Allyn and Bacon companion website for the Social Work Skills Demonstrated: Beginning Direct Practice multimedia learning system. This environment, along with the CD-ROM, textbook and workbook, is designed to provide a well-rounded introduction to human services interviewing skills.

The Social Work Skills Demonstrated: Beginning Direct Practice CD-ROM allows users to learn social work skills through the latest technology available:

• Designed as a practical guide to teaching basic counseling skills, the CD-ROM offers video segments showing three different social worker-client interactions.
• Users can view the video, stop the action and respond to questions, look up references, or obtain more in-depth information about each skill segment.
• Common pitfalls are noted for each skill set, as well as examples of appropriate and inappropriate uses of skills and outcomes.
• We hope you enjoy the many updates we have made to the textbook, CD-ROM, and website.

Sincerely,
Linda Cummins, Judith Sevel & Laura Pedrick
