About the Book

For social work students on undergraduate and postgraduate training programs Social Work: An introduction to contemporary practice has quickly established itself as a leading and uniquely comprehensive introduction to the field. Essential knowledge and skills are examined with authority and depth, and key debates approached in an accessible, informative and engaging way. Underpinned by research and advice to make close illustrative links with practice, it stimulates interest and actively engages the reader. Richly supported throughout with examples and real-life case scenarios, the text encourages the reader to adopt a critical and reflective approach. Furthermore, believing that social work exists to help people through complex and painful transitions in life, the authors set the relationship at the heart of social work practice. This text is essential reading for social work students on undergraduate and postgraduate training programs, newly qualified social workers and practitioners in a variety of settings

"This is a book that every social work student, as well as more experienced practitioners, should read and keep dipping into. As always, managers will also benefit, not least in order to remember where they came from." - Professional Social Work "This large book (760 pages) covers all aspects of social work and is an ideal tool for students and learning assessors alike…  I would suggest that the book would be a useful tool for any social work professional to pick up and use to gather specific information as it is user friendly and covers all aspects of modern social work."   - Rostrum
