Review
I would describe this book as THE best intro to social work on the market. Zastrow has made important changes in this edition and has retained the excellent structure and writing style seen in earlier editions.
I continue to be amazed at, and impressed with, the volume of the material that Dr. Zastrow addresses and competently presents. Certainly one of the benefits of this text is that students view the impressive range of concerns that social workers address and the variety of roles in which they engage. Another strength... is that it provides content on both theory and practice skills which are finely interwoven with the social problem perspective. the author provides interesting, often realistic case material to illustrate his points.
