Review :
"[Compton and Galaway] have done a masterful job of revisiting what is probably the most-used textbook since Pinkus and Minahan." "A comprehensive, in-depth approach to generalist social work practice. . . . [I] like the underlying message of the text, as do my current students: the ethical responsibility of social workers, the respect for client systems, and the alliance between worker and client systems."
