Honestly, I could have skipped the first term of social work school and just read this book. It taught me more than all three of my classes combined. Not that I didn't appreciate my teachers' hard work. But this really is an inspiring and important book.

I used this textbook when teaching a third year Social Work Direct Practice course. The students enjoyed the practical application of the textbook. The complimentary online videos were very helpful in illustrating the practice of the actual skills.

Read this for a class – learned a lot, but it's a textbook so it wasn't a horribly enjoyable read.

Стара, но много добра книга, която въвежда интерактивния подход в клиничната социална работа.
Подходяща е за всички помагащи професионалисти, които искат да развият клинични умения.
Главите, които представят работата с индивиди са на-добри, според мен.

На английски книгата е многократно преиздавана и е жалко, че няма ново издание и на български език,защото книгата е отдавна изчерпана.

I read this book for my social work class this semester. This was absolutely my favorite textbook of the semester. It gives great real-life examples throughout the book and was extremely informative. This textbook is definitely not one that I will be selling back.
