About this book

Direct Social Work Practice: Theory and Skills

Title: Direct Social Work Practice: Theory and Skills Edition: Eleventh Edition Authors: Hepworth • Vang • Blakey • Schwalbe • Evans • Rooney • Dewberry Rooney • Strom Publisher: Cengage


Cover Design: The cover has a clean white/light gray background with the Cengage logo at the top left. The title is set in large, bold blue display type, with the subtitle "Theory and Skills" in a warm green, and the author names listed in small dark text below. The overall layout is crisp and modern.

Cover Illustration: The central artwork features three large overlapping circles in a Venn diagram-style arrangement — yellow at the top, pink/magenta on the lower left, and light blue on the lower right — with their intersections creating orange, green, and purple overlap zones. Each circle contains a small photographic figure of a person viewed from above, as if looking down from a bird's-eye perspective, suggesting individuals within interconnected social systems. The textured, slightly worn appearance of the circles gives them an organic, human feel rather than a purely geometric one.


About the Book: A cornerstone textbook in social work education, long considered one of the most comprehensive and widely used resources for direct practice training. It covers interviewing, assessment, intervention, and relationship-building skills grounded in both theory and ethical practice.

Audience: Undergraduate and graduate social work students, as well as practicing social workers seeking a strong foundational reference.
