Editorial Reviews
Review
"I would describe this (text) as being very user friendly. I believe it will appeal to students because it provides clearly useful information that will enable them apply its content to the development of professional social work practice skills."
"I’ve not seen one (book) cover the topic so clearly and with clear social work values and expectations."
"The strengths of this text are its organization; its clarity and thoroughness regarding the specific skills that all social workers must be trained in and should aspire to; its numerous practice exercises; its current literature base; its attention to ethics, including legal definitions/issues; its continued emphasis on professional use of self issues and their impact on social work practice; and the deep level of skill and practice wisdom that the author obviously possesses and infuses throughout the text."

Do not buy Kindle Edition,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Social Work Skills Workbook, 6th Edition (Kindle Edition)
The book is very well written, and is easy to read. The information here is great for everyone, not just social workers. My problem is not with the author, or the information.
I bought the Kindle version of the book, and I have noticed there are sections missing, and passages just outright missing when compared to the print copy. Do not buy the Kindle version.

This review is from: The Social Work Skills Workbook (Paperback)
I ordered this book as a tool for supervising students. It's been a challenge putting into words the work I do everyday as I do it without thinking about it, and this book helped me organize skills that I wanted to pass along to the students I supervise. For example, the book had sections on contracting, engaging, and ethics, all skills I use everyday but sometimes overlook that these are skills that must be taught. I found the book helpful although I wish I found a cheaper copy, not sure it's worth $75
