Practice Models
Some of the practice theories that critical social work utilises include:
- Working collectively
- Building cooperation and consciousness
- Helping people to understand the social consequences of the market system
- Helping people deal collectively with social problems rather than individualising them
- Making alliances with working class organisations and recognise social workers as ‘workers’ themselves
- Civil disobedience, such as the intentional and surreptitious violation of agency policies that perpetuate capitalist oppression

Famous quotes containing the words practice and/or models:
“Theory can leave questions unanswered, but practice has to come up with something.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
