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 programmes, 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 intoAs always, managers will also benefit, not least in order to remember where they came from."
