Review of first edition: 'The book is practical and easy to read, with usable and useful exercises that can be handled on a personal basis or by individuals who are either experienced or inexperienced in managing or supervising staff.. It is a book that can be read in its entirety or can be 'dipped into' a chapter at a time, as the need arises.' - Peter Moon, Managing Director, Professional Personnel Consultants Ltd. Review of second edition: 'I strongly recommend the book and believe it would be helpful reading for social work students about to embark on their first practicum.' - John Dawes, Australian Social Work Journal
