I love the flow of the book and the ease of moving students through the engagment process to the evaluation process! -- Dr Margaret Counts-Spriggs * drupal *
There are some applicable chapters to courses, however, not enough to have students buy the book. We are redesigning the course completely from scratch and will include more social/public health/communication topics in the course. Therefore, we will reconsider this book as a recommended text for the students at our medical school. -- Dr Tania Arana * drupal *
Some useful ideas and theories but overall the slant is towards American practice, whihc whilst still relevant does have its differnences from UK practice. However, some of the writing will be useful in teaching and learning about relationships within the SW setting and I will be citing it in my teaching. -- Mrs Kerry Fidler * drupal *
