Sociology in Social Work Practice (Paperback)

Paperback. All social work activity is influenced by the society in which it takes place.

It is argued that sociology should help social workers to examine their assumptions and value judgements and develop their capacity to be questioning and discriminating about their methods and the policies which affect them and their clients.
