Editorial Reviews

"The practice examples and activities contextualize the skills in practice with diverse populations. These exercises and examples are useful because many social work students are anxious about skill development and how such skills they learn are applicable to actual practiceEL the text integrates examples and activities to meet students' demands and needs." --Gord Bruyere, Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, British Columbia
