About this product
Product Information
This textbook offers the perfect introduction to the complex world of social work theory, giving a concise yet comprehensive overview of how practice is influenced by each theoretical approach described. The book begins by outlining the origins and historical context of social work, which allows the reader to see show how theoretical fashions have changed and adapted to certain times, and concludes with advice on the best way forward for the modern-day social worker. Packed with thought-provoking discussions surrounding the topic, students will be encouraged to question the theories portrayed - a skill crucial to being a truly effective social work practitioner. Written by one social work's most highly regarded commentators, the book's accessible and easy-to-read writing style makes it a must-have companion for students and practitioners looking to gain an overall view of social work theory.

"A comprehensive yet concise introduction to social work theory. A must for every social work student." - Martin Sheedy, Lecturer at Liverpool John Moore's University, UK "An excellent text that is "non-threatening" for new students, who can gain an overall picture of the range of theory available to them." - Kay Wall, Lecturer at North East Worcestershire College, UK "A wonderous handbook, excellent." - Nigel Horner, Lecturer at University of Lincoln, UK 'Howe clearly explains his aspiration for this book, stating that he hopes it will "excite" the reader, and excite it does. I would highly recommend that you chose this title for your collection, and refer to it often in your attempts to understand human beings and the situations they find themselves within.' - Community Care, "A comprehensive yet concise introduction to social work theory.

I would highly recommend that you chose this title for your collection, and refer to it often in your attempts to understand human beings and the situations they find themselves within.' - Community Care 'useful for all social work educators and researchers who have tended to adopt, sometimes uncritically, the latest 'truths' in theory and practice emerging from the English-speaking world, to read Howe's book and perhaps avoid the pitfalls of accepting single theories or models of practice that might not fit their contexts.' - European Journal of Social Work
