About the Author:

Agi O'Hara is a psychologist with many years of experience working with individuals and groups. She lectures in sociology to social work students. Zita Webber is a social work academic who has had extensive experience as a practitioner of health and mental settings.

Review:

"The practice examples and activities contextualize the skills in practice with diverse populations. These exercises and examples are useful because many social work students are anxious about skill development and how such skills they learn are applicable to actual practiceEL the text
integrates examples and activities to meet students' demands and needs."
--Gord Bruyere, Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, British Columbia
