Essential knowledge and skills are examined with authority and depth, and key debates approached in an accessible, informative and engaging way.

Richly supported throughout with examples and real-life case scenarios, the text encourages the reader to adopt a critical and reflective approach. Furthermore, believing that social work exists to help people through complex and painful transitions in life, the authors set the relationship at the heart of social work practice.
