4.0 out of 5 stars Help with the ASWB exam, January 29, 2006
By 
Melissa S. Proctor (Lexington, Kentucky) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I ordered this book to help me study for the ASWB Master's exam as I was taking it many years after finishing school. It was very helpful in refreshing my memory regarding many social work terms and concepts. I would imagine that it helped me answer 5-10 questions correctly. This book will not teach the reader anything about social work practice or help in building social work skills but will serve as a useful reference guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best social work resource a social worker could own, November 21, 2001
By 
Brenan Nierman (United States of America) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is, by far, the best single resource that I know of for professional social workers. I was taught by Dr. Barker when I earned my MSW, and well remember his handouts of definitions, which were the genesis of this project.

Barker has done an excellent job of gathering together terms and figures of note to the entire profession. Social workers who adhere to the more traditional aspects of our profession (a la Jane Addams) as well as those who have branched off into the therapist profession, will find much of value in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for all Social Workers & Students, December 9, 2000
By 
I have the 1987 version of this author's Social Work Dictionary; everyone wanted to see it, and know where I got it from. Wait until they see the 7th edition! This book is packed full of insight and wisdom. No Social Work student, such as myself, should be caught without it. This dictionary has helped me out of so many corners of difficulty while reading my textbooks and with take-home test. Thumbs Up! Social Work student's bible. Great resource.
