Understanding Social Work Bewertungen

"'...successful in handling the complexity of the subject and remarkably free from jargon. It, undoubtedly, is a major resource for anyone involved with social work training and practice, especially beginners in the field.' - Wing Hong Chul, Journal of Social Work Practice 'This introduction to social work is written with a new generation of entrants to the profession in mind. Its strength lies in the author's willingness to begin patiently at ground zero, assuming that its readers will bring little or no prior knowledge with them.' - John Pierson, Community Care 'All in all, this book is a tour de force... Understanding Social Work is more than a resume of the current state of social work practice. It extends our understanding and, with subheadings such as Creativity, Resilience and Humility, reminds us of important qualities in social work as well as competences and skills.' - Mark Doel, Social Work Education 'An excellent book which deserves to become a standard text.' - Professional Social Work"
