Synopsis

Critical thinking is a vital skill for social workers, especially in the areas of learning and development. Part of the Post-Qualifying Social Work Practice series, this book enables readers to develop their critical thinking ability and apply this to everyday decision making, as well as to reflect on their competence. It supports social workers who are studying for post qualifying social work awards and is also a valuable text for students on pre-qualifying social work programmes.
