Quick Navigation

Overview

Peter DeJong and Insoo Kim Berg's INTERVIEWING FOR SOLUTIONS features a proven, solutions-oriented approach to basic interviewing that views clients as competent, helps them to visualize the changes they want, and builds on what they are already doing that works. Throughout the book, the authors present models for solution-focused work, illustrated by examples and supported by research. This edition features multimedia resources such as an instructional DVD with integrated exercises, Social Work CourseMate (an online solution with integrated eBook, quizzes, flashcards, and more), and PracticeStudio (an online video upload and grading program), all of which are available for packaging with the text. These unique supplementary materials include demonstration interviews, instructional ideas, class (or workshop) exercises, exercises for practice outside of class, sample test items, tools for solution building with clients, and more.
