The Clubhouse Model

This innovative book demonstrates how one model draws a variety of theories and components of theory into practical use-helping your students see the many, creative ways that theory can be applied to real-life generalist practice, at micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Effectively organized to illustrate how theories can complement each other, Robert L. Jackson's THE CLUBHOUSE MODEL: EMPOWERING APPLICATIONS OF THEORY TO GENERALIST PRACTICE describes an empowering model for generalist practice, a comprehensive approach designed to address the community support needs of adults with mental illness. _x000D_

This model originated in New York City and has been replicated all over the world. The model serves as a template and powerful heuristic device for the illustration of how theory and components of theory are applied in generalist practice. Jackson covers essential aspects of a range of human behavior theories and components of theory. He relates these aspects of theory to a widely respected generalist practice example, the clubhouse model. He shows how theory and components of theory inform and guide community building practice roles.
