Synopsis

Ideal for use in PRACTICE or RESEARCH courses, although the 22 exercises- many of them thoroughly class-tested with BSW and MSW students- include a wealth of content also applicable to HBSE and Policy classes. The Workbook presents situations that will enable the reader to reason more effectively about life-affecting decisions. Deciding which actions will help clients is an inescapable part of being a professional. Thinking critically about claims, beliefs and arguments will help professionals arrive at beliefs and actions that are well reasoned.
