Review :
By tying their accounts of social work skills to the PCF, the contributors to this book have performed an invaluable service for the social work profession. While it will be especially useful for social work students, educators and supervisors, there is much on offer here for all social workers, wherever they are in their careers. - Guy Shennan, Chair, British Association of Social Workers This book is very focused on developing an exact and practical understanding of the skills that social work students need to deploy to practise successfully in today's social care services. It is analytical and thoughtful in the way it presents social work skills in the modern context, and will be a firm foundation for future study and practice. - Malcolm Payne, Emeritus Professor, Manchester Metropolitan University (UK)
