Review
"This book takes what was solidly helpful in the first two editions and broadens the material. The result is a full articulation of social work practice--a very clear, adequately detailed, totally consistent and coherent, and comprehensive description of current practice. I know of no other text which has similar goals or succeeds as well." -- Jacqueline Mondros
