REVEL for Social Work Skills for Beginning Direct Practice: Text, Workbook and Interactive Multimedia Case Studies, Fourth Edition, provides social work students with the social work practice knowledge and skills required for engaging in a successful helping process with clients. The integrated text, workbook, and interactive multimedia cases allow students to explore how to use social work skills in each stage of the helping process–from engagement and intake through termination.


Students learn about attending behaviors, basic interviewing skills such as lead-in responses, paraphrasing, and reflection of feelings, and more advanced skills such as confrontation and summarization. Students then learn how to apply these essential interviewing skills in order to work effectively with diverse client groups. Social work theory, policy, therapeutic approaches, and evaluation techniques are integrated throughout the book to provide the essential elements of direct social work practice. The new edition includes expanded content on cultural competency, cultural awareness, evaluation, and client termination and keeps students up-to-date with the information they need to provide thorough, effective, direct social work practice with diverse client groups.

Dynamic content designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn brings concepts to life.

  • Integrated within the narrative, videos of case studies and other interactive content (e.g. multi-part scenarios, video-based Now You Try It exercises, and  Apply It video links with reflective questions) empower students to engage with concepts and modeled skills and take an active role in learning. REVEL's unique presentation of media as an intrinsic part of course content brings the features of this popular title to life. Multiple video examples of each practice skill are embedded throughout, but especially in the practice skills chapters 5, 6, and 7, to allow students instant viewing and practicing of each skill as it is presented and applied.
  • Located throughout REVEL, multiple-choice section quizzes afford students opportunities to check their understanding at regular intervals before moving on. In Chapters 5 through 8, Video Assessment quizzes are multiple choice in format, asking students to select the best item based on video content. A Chapter Review assessment is also provided.
  • Short-answer application items in the Workbook (presented as the final chapter, not a separate product) provide question prompts that encourage students to reflect on and apply their knowledge with feedback provided to scaffold student learning.
  • The REVEL mobile app lets students read, practice, and study–anywhere, anytime, on any device.

  • REVEL’s performance dashboard empowers educators to monitor class assignment completion as well as individual student achievement. Actionable information, such as points earned on quizzes and tests and time on task, helps educators intersect with their students in meaningful ways. For example, the trending column reveals whether students' grades are improving or declining, helping educators to identify students who might need help to stay on track.
