Direct Practice in Social Work (2nd Edition)
     “This text is clearly ahead of Hepworth in terms of diversity, on the HIPPA information, and on NASW Ethics…  there is much more emphasis on empowerment and the strengths perspective.”  —Larry Livingston, University of Illinois-Springfield“The writing is engaging…the addition of 2-color and other graphics enhance the readability, reader engagement,   and user-friendliness.”  —Chrystal C. Ramirez Barranti, PhD, California State University, Sacramento“Chapters are well-written, stimulating and full of content. They are written with down-to-earth, realistic examples   to capture student interests. With regards to the CWSE Standards, the text meets or exceeds the standards.   Many of the chapters directly discuss the standards tell students why they are important and how the text tries   to meet those standards…Clearly written…comprehensive…interesting, illustrative examples…   Emphasis on strengths perspective…Strong consideration of diversity…Well-organized.”  —Nancy Udolph, Ashland University“Coverage of diversity and diverse client populations is introduced through case examples.”  —Susan Mittendorf, Ph.D., Louisiana State University"Writing style and voice are compatible. This is a very readable text. Having 14 chapters is great."  —Robert M. Ortega, University of Michigan“The textbook is a very difficult genre to work in, and the authors did well to present a lot of material and keep   it as interesting as possible…Strengths include the overt inclusion of major clinical theories and readable,   interesting perspectives presented in enough detail to be useful. Key social work material is presented well   and without preaching or unnecessarily denigrating other perspectives some texts fall into.”  —Daniel Coleman, Portland State University      --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
