Very interesting book, but found content was not commensurate with program needs and students we are teaching - needed a far more generic text -- Amanda Lee * drupal *
This book summarizes all social work skills relevant to social work practice. It is also easy to comprehend from our students, as authors are straight to the point and they offer very useful tips and examples in this book. There are also very useful links to associated theories, and there is suggestion for further reading under each content. This book has been included in my reading list as well as my teaching sessions. -- Dr Evangelia Petropoulou * drupal *
it is a very good book that enlists essential social work skills. The book is very practical for social work students. -- Mr simon ng * drupal *
