Case Management: An Introduction to Concepts and Skills

In this new edition, the authors approach case management as both an art and a science. They present the basics of case management in a practical, appealing manner. The book ties the theory of case management to the various roles case managers fill and to situations that they face.

The second edition has been updated appropriately to keep up with the ever-evolving profession of case management. In keeping with practice trends in case management the authors have added even more end of chapter exercises for the teacher or trainer.
