What Reviewers Are Saying
“The approach [of Understanding Social Welfare] is among the best. . . . I would not use another text.”
–George T. Patterson, New York University
“I consider it a great strength that this text incorporates the diversity component throughout the text, which is so essential to the social work curriculum. . . .
