Editorial Reviews
Review
"I strongly recommend this text. The volume offers practitioners and social work educators an invaluable resource of methods and skills for helping children with challenging life conditions and perilous life situations. With the fully updated second edition, readers can be sure they have the latest information on key topics. This is an excellent and much needed contribution to the contemporary practice literature."--Alex Gitterman, MSW, EdD
"Written by a master clinician and teacher with decades of experience, this volume addresses the challenges of working with children and families that are faced daily by contemporary practitioners, and carefully articulates some of the best approaches to assessment and intervention. Webb sensitively integrates the many facets of practice with children--the child, family, community, school, public and private service delivery systems, and the public policy context. She ably takes the reader through the different ways clinicians can help children and into a variety of circumstances in which children are seen in our ever-changing, sometimes perilous world. This lucidly written second edition is sure to remain a centerpiece of any graduate course on practice with children and a tried-and-true companion for clinicians of all levels."--Luis H. Zayas, PhD, George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Washington University in St. Louis
"In this extensively revised and updated edition of her highly regarded text, Nancy Boyd Webb offers a comprehensive and incisive description of social work practice with children and their families in contemporary society. Among the book's especially impressive features are its coverage of the many different family situations and circumstances facing vulnerable children and youth, its thoughtful consideration of helping methods and processes, and its frequent use of apt case illustrations. This text promotes the education of students at the undergraduate as well as graduate levels, prepares them for the challenges that they will face, and helps them become well-trained and sophisticated practitioners. The author is to be commended for contributing so much to the tasks of instructors, particularly those in child welfare practice courses. Above all, her conviction and enthusiasm about ways of helping children, youth, and families are commendable and inspiring."--Anthony N. Maluccio, DSW, Graduate School of Social Work, Boston College
