title = "Working with Aggression and Resistance in Social Work",
abstract = "Social workers have roles that require them to engage with clients and families who may be {\textquoteleft}reluctant clients{\textquoteright}, ambivalent or resistant towards those seeking to help and protect. This includes safeguarding roles in relation to children and vulnerable adults, and work to engage with marginalised groups such as young offenders and those with mental health and substance misuse problems. This book contains a blend of practice and theory to assist the student social worker on qualifying training to prepare to work with clients, families, groups and communities that may be ambivalent, resitant, reluctant, aggressive or hostile. There are chapters that address issues in relation to the main client groups as well as chapters that take an overview of issues such as understanding and defusing aggressive behaviour and keeping yourself safe from assault. All chapters are illustrated with case examples, research summaries and activities to assist the reader in applying the material to practice.",
