Elizabeth Wichers DuMez and Donato Sardella have synthesized into this splendid collection the diverse experiences of exemplary social workers whose lives honor the passion and commitment of the profession.
Celebrating Social Work spans seven decades of the profession's development, capturing 51 visual and oral portraits of accomplished practitioners and educators.

As a reflection of more than 100 years of value-based service,
Celebrating Social Work presents a compelling image of a robust and diverse profession that makes and changes history. Each chapter captures the early founding or establishing of a field of social work practice, making this an excellent supplement for History of Social Work courses.
