Maguire’s approach shows social workers how to combine the use of social support systems with cognitive, psychodynamic, problem-solving, and task-centered interventions. He instructs readers about integrating case management, networking, and natural support systems to provide better services. Useful as both a classroom text and a practitioner resource, Social Support Systems in Practice describes the theory base of interventions and illustrates their application to diverse problems.
