Paperback. Sourced from U.S.A.
'Theoretical frameworks are made accessible by the clear and conversational style of Dr Thompson. The inclusion of practice vignettes facilitate the integration of complex theory with 'real-life' situations encountered in social work practice. Dr Thompson goes beyond traditional theorising and looks to the deeper personal, social and cultural issues facing workers and clients. This will be a highly recommended text for students and practitioners.' - Dr Jan Pascal, School of Social Work and Social Policy, La Trobe University, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. Item Details
