Psychology for Social Work by Emma O'brien
This exciting core text book is an engaging and accessible introduction to understanding human behaviour and development from a psychological perspective. Written by a psychologist with extensive teaching experience, it offers a clear and systematic exploration of psychological concepts and research, and discussion of their relevance for social work practice. Adopting a logical and intuitive structure, this is key reading for Human Growth and Development modules and a range of other Social Work modules with psychological content. Psychology for Social Work offers a truly integrative resource for students, allowing them to see how different elements of theory and research connect together for practical application.
This book combines an excellent introduction to the psychological theories essential for social work, with examples and critical discussion of their use in current practice- Anthea Murr, Senior Lecturer, University of Wolverhampton (UK)
