Understanding and Using Theory in Social Work by Juliette Oko
Understanding how theory informs social work practice is an area that students can often find difficult to grasp. Written in an accessible style, this book introduces theory as a framework that social workers can draw upon to inform their decision-making process. Using the key skills of critical thinking and reflection, this text encourages the reader to think about the formal and informal knowledge sources they can draw upon to guide their practice.
