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:
“In a sense that I am unable to explicate further, the proponents of competing paradigms practice their trades in different worlds.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (1922)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
