About this title

Review

"As I glanced through the second edition, I was very excited to see that LeCroy had included content which focused on very 'cutting edge' issues in social work: community development, managed care, teen programs stressing empowerment and denial of incest and suggested treatment for such denial This (book) provides fresh, new material to social work students in a way that is not overwhelming. Practical examples are provided. The subjects are very relevant in today's managed care, community-focused social work arena. Students love case examples!"
