Review
'A comprehensive yet concise introduction to social work theory. A must for every social work student.'
- Martin Sheedy, Lecturer at Liverpool John Moore's University, UK
'An excellent text that is 'non-threatening' for new students, who can gain an overall picture of the range of theory available to them.'
- Kay Wall, Lecturer at North East Worcestershire College, UK
'A wonderous handbook, excellent.'
- Nigel Horner, Lecturer at University of Lincoln, UK
'Howe clearly explains his aspiration for this book, stating that he hopes it will 'excite' the reader, and excite it does. I would highly recommend that you chose this title for your collection, and refer to it often in your attempts to understand human beings and the situations they find themselves within.'
- Community Care
'[U]seful for all social work educators and researchers who have tended to adopt, sometimes uncritically, the latest 'truths' in theory and practice emerging from the English-speaking world, to read Howe's book and perhaps avoid the pitfalls of accepting single theories or models of practice that might not fit their contexts.'
- European Journal of Social Work
