Applied Psychology for Social Workers by Paula Nicolson
Psychology provides an essential backdrop to social work practice but there are few sources that summarize its theories and findings in a way that is easily accessible to students. This compact and practical text answers this need in applying key ideas, skills and research from psychology to contemporary social work in a variety of settings. Substantially revised to take account of the latest developments, this is a wide-ranging and authoritative introduction to a complex subject.
'[C]omprehensive, well laid out and clearly written.. [T]his book addresses situations relevant to social workers in all the settings and client groups with which they work.' - British Journal of Social Work
