출판사 서평

“Building on the success of the two earlier editions, this third volume represents a substantial addition to the social work literature. The new edition's coverage is comprehensive, informed by research, theory and practice knowledge, and is highly relevant to contemporary social work.” Mike Stein, University of York “Already established as an authoritative and accessible text, the Third Edition of the Companion has extended its range and has been substantially updated. It achieves an excellent balance between comprehensiveness and fine detail, demonstrating both the breadth and depth of the social work knowledge base and providing students with a thorough, reliable and well-organised guide to both the discipline and the profession of social work. Moreover, the Companion should prove an important point of reference for social work educators and practitioners.” Ian Butler, University of Bath
