About this title

Review

Fills a gap in the social work literature. . . . In this thorough and carefully structured book, Tolson, Reid, and Garvin not only demonstrate how the task-centered approach can be applied to problem solving with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities, but also identify the adaptions that must be made to apply the task-centered model at each level.
