Review
"I am excited about the prospect of using this textbook in our undergraduate AND our graduate course It deals with many current issues and topics of high relevance to social workers, such as teen parenthood, violence, immigrants and refugees, injustice, adoptions, spirituality, assisted suicide, and the right to die. It will likely spark lively classroom discussion."
