Synopsis

This revision of Woodside and McClam's highly successful text continues to provide a solid introduction to the profession of human services. Readers explore such concepts as serving the whole person, using an interdisciplinary approach, interacting with helper and client, training generalists, and empowering clients. Intended to be introductory rather than encyclopedic, the book presents basic information and includes brief case studies, primary source material, and suggested readings that encourage students to use other books, electronic materials, and media resources to enrich their knowledge of the introductory course content.

"This edition is even better than the second! There is new material, particularly the new Chapter 3, that is an important addition. I would adopt the book in a minute!"
