dc.description.abstract | The development of the Strengths Perspective represented a profound paradigm shift in the field of social work. Thirty years since its inception, the impact of this framework on social work practice and policy is undeniable. Although some might claim that some of the ideas associated with this perspective might seem simple, this shift in the underlying assumptions that undergird the field has been profound. I myself am about to celebrate 30 years in social work, first as a student, then a practitioner, and later, an academic. In this chapter, I will use my personal narrative to illustrate the ways this perspective impacted not just my own work and approach to social work practice, but as an indicator of how these ideas have and can contin- ue to define the field moving forward. | en_US |
