Designed primarily as a practical application textbook, especially for foundational laboratory courses spanning two semesters, for students of social work, this sixth edition is divided into two parts and 13 chapters, each chapter including extensive examples and exercises to aid study and comprehension. It is also appropriate for more advanced students and those already in practice. The shorter first section introduces readers to the values, culture, and context of social work, while the second section explores practical skill development. The focus is on interpersonal skills, professionalism, and appropriate application of all aspects of social work, including assessing, evaluating, advocating, engaging diversity, and otherwise working with a variety of individuals and groups. Found at the end are 16 appendices, references, and an index. The entire book is punched for a 3-ring binder. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
