[Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a very helpful introduction to social work. The book highlights many of the current major themes and debates within social work, for example, anti-oppressive practice, assessment, interventions and much more. The authors helpfully give lots of examples and scenarios to ground the theory into real life practice.
