Review
'An essential text for social workers, students, practice assessors and those engaged in the post-qualification process.' - Community Care 'This is a book to recommend to all social work students (at undergraduate, Master's and Post Qualifying levels) and their practice teachers. It would inform and enrich a programme of supervision, but would also enhance a more experienced practitioner's reflection and practice.' - Bernard R. Moss, Professor of Social Work Education and Spirituality, Staffordshire University 'The strength of the theory chapters are what make this book unique in the assessment in social wok literature and an important read for students... this is a welcome new edition of this text and I will continue to recommend it as essential reading for students and practitioners.' Sally Holland, Sneior Lecturer, Cardiff University, UK 'This book gives power to the elbow for students and practitioners who want to do more...this is a welcome new edition of this text...recommend[ed]...as essential reading...'
