Review

"This text is the best that I have observed to date in relationship to the depth of processing of theoretical concepts, the use examples and exercises, and the skill building focus of the book."

"This is an extensive and thorough introductory graduate social work practice text. The inclusion of more extensive case studies showing the treatment process and the use of exercises that require the student to access computer resources will be particularly valuable."

"Its strengths are: clear, simple and reader friendly language; a deliberate effort to address current issues such as practicing in the context of managed care environment and evidence based practice; chapters' summary, relevant exercises; use of technology based resources; numerous examples; an effort to present to reader a comprehensive approach to social work practice as a problem solving process within a systems perspective."
