Review:

"Very good skills builder for general practice. Strengths include good discussions on history, theory, ethics and values and poverty."

"(Students) have said that it is the first social work text that they have enjoyed reading. I consider that high praise and I agree with it. The entire book is neither dull nor mired in jargon. It is useful from start to finish."

"It is clear, precise and easy to read. The students like it very much."
