This review is from: Cases in Macro Social Work Practice (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

I used this textbook in Human Behavior in the Social Environment II. It was a good textbook because it gave us real world examples to discuss in class and learn from. It works nicely with a course about Social Systems Theory. I only wish the authors had included the final results of each case!
