Synopsis

Now in its third edition, this classic social work text explores the foundations of social care in the UK, how it evolved and why. It answers key questions on mental health, working with older people, working with families and children and much more. With expanded chapters on international social work, the new directions for social care and the implications of interprofessional working, this text is widely considered the best introduction to the subject a social work student can have.
