Synopsis
In this lively introduction suitable for students at any level, Lena Dominelli explores the extraordinary scope and importance of social work. Using engaging examples from contemporary social work practice, she clearly answers questions about what social work is, how social workers work in a variety of settings and the clients they are likely to deal with. She tackles head on the dilemmas social workers face in their day-to-day work and the challenges of working with limited resources and marginalized social groups such as the elderly, the homeless and abused children.
This work will affirm the valuable contribution social workers can make to human wellbeing and demonstrate how the promise and potential of social work can be, and is, realized.

Review
"Timely and well written, Introducing Social Work will be an inspiration to all readers and is destined to be of great value in and outside the classroom. A fine contribution to the teaching of social work."
Katherine van Wormer, University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls
"Lena Dominelli has done it again. Already amongst the most widely read of social work authors, and with an international reputation, Professor Dominelli has written perhaps her most accessible book to date. Let us hope that it helps to attract many more people to the public service ethos of a much maligned and undervalued, yet critically important profession."
Audrey Mullender, Ruskin College
"This book provides an interesting introduction to the nature of social work and the different settings in which it is practised. It provides a useful update on the changing social work landscape in the UK, but Dominelli also draws on her extensive international experience to expand the vision for social work developments in the UK."
Karen Lyons, London Metropolitan University
