| Resiliency: An Integrated Approach to Practice, Policy,
and Research presents a comprehensive and practical framework that integrates social
work theory, policy, research, and method to promote resilience-based practice and
facilitate its application. It educates readers on successful stress and trauma coping
strategies and equips them to build client strengths, adaptation, healing, and
self-efficacy. Roberta Greene and her contributors examine theoretical explanations of
personal, family, community, and other environmental factors that encourage resiliency and
explore lifespan issues that affect client success at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
This well-timed book provides clear illustrations of resilience-based practice in diverse
settings and across social work methods and provides specific intervention strategies at
each of these levels. Resiliency is an essential and invaluable text for faculty
across the curriculum and for students and practitioners.
