About this title

Synopsis

Social work is an exciting field full of demands and rewards. Social Work: Issues and Opportunities in a Challenging Profession, Third Edition, allows readers to look at many aspects of social work practice. The satisfaction of working in a profession that helps others is presented alongside the difficulties and opportunities social workers face. Discussion of the differences between social work and the other helping professions helps readers identify where their interests lie.

The authors present the basic concepts, elements, and theories of social work and use this foundation to take a closer look at various fields of practice, diverse population groups, and social work environments. Special attention is given to social work in the criminal justice system, international social work, and social work in rural and poverty-affected communities. Social Work: Issues and Opportunities in a Challenging Profession makes social work real and relevant to anyone entering the field.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
