Synopsis

Providing a concise, easy-to-understand, and highly practical framework for addressing human service management, this book helps students understand why practitioners must also be good policy analysts and managers and helps them develop the skills and knowledge they need. By demonstrating the relationship between management and "doing" counseling or social work, the authors help readers focus on critical issues in administration, management, and policy.
