Description:	Throughout this book, significant emphasis is given to the nature of the working relationship. The use of the self by practitioners within a working relationship is also a theme that is prevalent throughout the chapters. This concept is not new. Social work’s foundations are based on the use of the self within a working relationship: ‘casework’ (Hollis, 1972). This book does not aim to move away from these timeestablished principles, while acknowledging that the socio-political context of social work has not been static (Brearley, 1995; Brown, 2002). Rather, the scope of the book is to incorporate traditional and post-modern therapeutic models into social work practice. This can enhance insight into the presentation of problems and widen the range of ‘lenses’ that we can use to understand communication (Hoffman, 1990). Due to the broad scope of the book, each chapter only offers a beginning to making sense of an approach and to applying it to practice. In all cases, further reading is recommended.
