Fieldwork in the human services (2000) Lesley Cooper & Lynne Briggs (Eds), Allen & Unwin: St Leonards.
Fieldwork in the human services is a practical guide for educators and managers involved in supervising field education. Drawing on the experience of academics, clinicians, and educators from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom, this collection explores how to make the most of the fieldwork experience.
With learning as the central theme, contributors examine the practical application of a range of learning theories and models of supervision. Management issues are also considered, as are working with cultural difference and legal and ethical aspects.
Fieldwork in the human services will be welcomed by anyone involved in field education in social work, health, community work, education, welfare, and related fields.
Ken McMaster has a chapter in this book entitled 'Working with male students in fieldwork education', which explores a gendered perspective in human service work, and the issues of power and privilege that need to be accounted for.
