Revue de presse

Denny provides a critical perspective on practice towards a thoughtful and compassionate social work, a notion that is all but lost in the current marketized environment. ... This is a highly readable text which should prove useful in making explicit the relationship between current social policy and social work practice./ British Journal of Social Work Vol 29 No 4
