What is Rooted in Strengths : Celebrating the Strengths Perspective in Social Work about?

Rooted in Strengths: Celebrating the Strengths Perspective in Social Work builds upon the last three decades since the perspective was formally highlighted as a philosophy to guide social work practice by faculty and students at the University of Kansas in a 1989 article in the journal Social Work. Since then, the Strengths Perspective has grown to be a pervasive influence on the social work profession, while also influencing other movements that have challenged conventional thinking in social work, such as empowerment, social constructionism, feminism and holistic health and wellness.Today, the Strengths Perspective is used widely in the field of social work, being utilized in child and youth services, family practice, gerontology, mental health recovery, substance abuse treatment and other fields of practice in the United States and several other countries. With dozens of authors from around the world who currently serve as practitioners in the field, instructors and researchers, these chapters provide a look into the Strengths Perspective’s use today and its influence in social work and beyond.
