Review

"...A comprehensive, readable text. It integrates practical application and up-to-date empirical evidence of assessment and treatment of the biological, psychological, and social aspects of the person-in-environment..."

"I am excited about the prospect of using this textbook in our undergraduate...AND our graduate course...It deals with many current issues and topics of high relevance to social workers, such as teen parenthood, violence, immigrants and refugees, injustice, adoptions, spirituality, assisted suicide, and the right to die. It will likely spark lively classroom discussion."
