Review
"[T]his volume promises to be the most controversial and must-read book since Specht and Courtney's Unfaithful Angels: How Social Work Has Lost Its Mission hit the shelves. No, this is not your typical academic book, it is original, dynamic and very thought-provoking.... Sanctified Snake Oil is a compelling and fascinating work which would make an excellent addition to any graduate research or women's studies course or book club discussion group." - Katherine van Wormer Professor of Social Work University of Northern Iowa Coauthor of Women and the Criminal Justice System
