Editorial Reviews
What Colleagues are Saying:
“The text offers a nice balance of the coverage of the material regarding social work and social welfare.” -- Barrett Michelle Horton, University of Tennessee at Martin
“The cases are helpful in allowing the students to understand the application piece of practice. The cases are at the beginning of each of the chapters dealing with an area of practice in Social Work and it gives the student a glimpse of what social workers do and the versatility of the profession.” -- Barrett Michelle Horton, University of Tennessee at Martin
“I quite liked the first section “Introduction” because it really introduces a beginning level student to the profession of social work. The “distinguishing characteristics” summarize almost all components of the social work profession. I also like the fact that a variety of fields of practice are discussed in the third section titled “Social Work Services”.” – Anita Sharma, University of Louisiana
“I like the design and formatting of the text. I also like the fact that relevant information is highlighted, the examples stand out, and the formatting is easy to follow.” – Anita Sharma, University of Louisiana
“The textbook provides good historical as well as contemporary perspectives on social work which helps students to have a clear understanding of the profession. It emphasizes in the current generalist practice perspectives and answers students' questions about social work and their social work education.” – Saman Yaghmaee, San Diego Community College
