What your colleagues are saying: This text is a wonderful classroom tool. It can be used to facilitate dialogue, as well as assist students in understanding basic child welfare content. It is very thorough and easy to digest. This is important for students, particularly those who may be new to child welfare. -- Monique Busch Indiana University This text is by far the best I have found for a general survey course in Child Welfare. The strength of this text is its emphasis on the macro level of child welfare. It is important to me to place the field of child welfare in the context of larger cultural, social and political trends. -- Dale Weaver, California State University--Los Angeles, What your colleagues are saying: This text is a wonderful classroom tool.

Very informative
Learned a lot of things in this book so it was good; but it takes forever to get to the main points or to how things came to become present laws.
