A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This solid new practice skills textbook is a promising new contender into the expanding market of choices for faculty to select from. Professor Thomas O'Hare has done a terrific job in integrating the art and science of interpersonal practice into a very informative and contemporary text which would make a wonderful choice in teaching foundation clinical skills. It is a pleasing blend of history, theory, assessment, intervention, and evaluation which is rarely encountered or so written about so knowledgeably. (Bruce Thyer, Florida State University)

The author does a particularly nice job of confronting and countering [myths] . . . The depth of discussion on ethics, in particular, is welcomed and is unique to this foundational practice text. [O'Hare's book] is anything but dry." (Helen Land, Social Development Issues)

This impressive book effectively provides comprehensive information in a clear, easily digestible manner. We predict it will become a staple in foundation BSW and MSW courses, and perhaps in a range of human service courses. (Katherine P. Luke & Brian E. Perron, Research on Social Work Practice 2009)
