SOCIAL WORK: FIELDS OF PRACTICE

An expert guide to Social Work Fields of Practice.Social Work: Fields of Practice, third edition, takes the form of a conversation with students by experts in the field. The chapters gradually unfold to cover many of the fields of practice a social worker is likely to encounter while working in the field. Short, concise chapters allow students and lecturers a flexible approach to learning and teaching as they move through the book in an order that suits them.
