Albert and Skolnik enliven the theoretical material that students are required to know. Their integration of legal documents into the text enables students to gain first-hand experience in reading the types of documents they will encounter in practice. This text helps students understand the social programs affecting professional practice with those who have been economically dislocated, the near-poor and poor situated on the fringe of the economy that find themselves dependent upon governmental programs to meet their basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and/or medical care. It presents not only the key features of the major national programs supporting this group, but also the subjective experience of program recipients and the impact of program participation on their lives. Clients' voices are given prominence in order to gain insight into the meaning they assign to their participation and its consequences. Clients' stories provide the connection between the often segregated professional knowledge realms of practice and policy and underscore the legal context of professional practice through examination of illustrative legislation, regulation and judicial decisions.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"…provides an excellent framework to understanding on public social welfare policy. The impingement of our tripartite public systems on basic social welfare programs is essential knowledge base for all social workers. The anecdotal cases- recorded by the client in colloquial language plus the many case law summaries--apply and illustrate the impact of legislative, administrative, and judicial law on their lives."
"I would describe the "hard times" narratives as a very valuable resource for social work practice and HBSE students learning about the consequences of economic dislocation and the absence of adequate income for life and health; and of equal importance, learning about the coping efforts and survival skills of social welfare program clients."
