Description: "Offering insights into the lives and motives of social work service users, Social Workers, the Community and Social Interaction demonstrates the practical relevance of recent sociological research for good social work practice." "The author argues that sociology is an undervalued resource for social work training and education, and, emphasising the importance of competences in social work, shows how a greater awareness of sociological issues can help improve services for clients."--Jacket.
