“…Various studies have concluded that these service networks must consist of both specialist and generalist service providers (Ellem et al, 2012;Kuosmanen & Starke, 2013;Rose, 2011;Smyth et al, 2006;Wholey & Huonker, 1993). Wholey and Huonker (1993) find that generalist service providers not only are active in their clients' various life domains, but also maintain connections to a wide variety of specialised organisations.…”

Social work practise is increasingly confronted with the dilemma of specialisation versus generalism. This article embraces the idea of a network that combines the strengths of specialist and generalist service organisations. We focus on the role of generalist service providers in a network of specialist organisations. We conduct 25 interviews with social workers in a network of service organisations in a single district in Antwerp, Belgium. Social workers (n ¼ 15) from specialist service organisations are interviewed to determine how they perceive collaboration with social workers from generalist service organisations. We also include the perspectives of 10 respondents affiliated with generalist service agencies.Findings: The results show that generalists facilitate interactions between specialists and their clients. Their holistic perspective on the complex problems of very vulnerable clients allows them to fulfil critical functions such as brokering information and mediating when conflicts arise.Application: Our analysis provides a better understanding of the role of generalist organisations in a network of specialist service organisations. This article concludes that further research on the importance of collaboration, networks and generalist practise is necessary to further develop a research agenda that focuses on how social work is able to address the complex problems of vulnerable target groups.

“…This concept is articulated in a paper describing the Full‐Frame Approach , a new response to marginalized women who are receiving social and mental health services (Smyth, Goodman, & Glenn, 2006). The authors describe how inattention to the woman's context, or the complex situational factor that has created her difficulty, leads to further marginalization and fragmentation of care.…”

“…Yet, there are too few services available to help low-income women deal with these realities, and those that do exist often address specific and discrete issues (e.g., housing, mental health, domestic violence), without addressing or even recognizing the complex web of difficulties within which such problems are embedded (Goodman & Smyth, in press;Smyth, Goodman, & Glenn, 2006). This article describes a qualitative content analysis of women's experiences of feminist relational advocacy (FRA), a new advocacy model designed to address the material and psychological difficulties of low-income women who are struggling with depressive symptoms.…”

This article describes a qualitative study of how low-income women who are struggling with symptoms of depression experience feminist relational advocacy, a new model that is informed by feminist, multicultural, and community psychology theories. Using qualitative content analysis of participant interviews, the authors describe the processes and outcomes of feminist relational advocacy from participants' perspectives; they also consider how emergent themes fit with principles of the model, including the importance of women's narratives, the inseparability of emotional and practical support, the centrality of the advocacy relationship, and oppression as a source of emotional distress. The article concludes with a discussion of the practice and research implications of the study, highlighting the possibilities of feminist relational advocacy as a new tool for counseling psychologists and the lessons for advocacy models in general.
