While traditional research methodologies tend to address social problems as if they were divorced from the lives and experiences of human beings, these chapters employ phenomenological description of how the existing system functions, to identify theory-to-practice gaps and to recover the experiences of the person within the various institutional structures. Divided into three parts, each chapter begins with pre-reading and close reading questions and ends with writing prompts, allowing for practitioners and students to examine their own thoughts, and put what they have learnt into practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for students of clinical social work and practicing mental health professionals, this book is essential for those wanting to make sense of social work practice in our constantly evolving times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Jarrette-Kenny DSW, LCSW\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Psychotherapist and adjunct faculty member at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center's Psychiatric Residency Program. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiriam Jaffe, is an Associate Teaching Professor at Rutgers University, where she teaches writing.
